I think he's such a cool collected guy, would never think it in a million years. But hen again, we know nothing about these people, they hide a lot behind the characters they play.

[sunflower68]

yes, such a shame, poor chap. I am sure he will be ok.
He was born the same day as me which is only interesting to, er, me.

oh the joy of breaking up in hollywood, lots of pics of your ex with there new fling eveywhere you turn!

he's the last actor i would have thought would do that to himself, he's such a character, one of the funniest and best actors around.

i guess you can never tell how people are feeling until something like this happens.

I would give my mates right arm to go look after him!

I never knew that, it's such a shame, he's great. I'm always hearing of people I always thought were great actors overdosing on drugs, alcohol, being depressed and so on. It's very sad, obviously they must have huge amounts of pressure.

from what i've seen on some websites apparently he is addicted to cocaine and heroin.. just goes to show you can't tell what people are really like in 'hollywood'! it is a shocking story to read especially about him.

Yeah, I was really sorry to hear about it, agree that he always came across as quite grounded, a nice guy. Don't think pictures of his ex with another are really to blame though, there is something very wrong in someones life already if such a thing pushes them over the edge.
