Strangely admirable


I'm not taking about the movies but his persistence to keep working to pay off his debt. He's in his late 50's and still trying to make ends meet for himself and get the debt off his back with the back taxes thing. Many other people in Hollywood just declare bankruptcy and quit who were in his position.

Yes, he's in the black now so that's a good thing. I wonder if he was another arrested development early Gen X'er(I know plenty)? I know in recent years he's had personal relationship problems, hanging out with Vince Neil, who ended up punching a woman in the face. I also think he got another divorce and then got married again, not sure. Anyway, hopefully he's on the straight and narrow he literally can't afford to go broke again!

I always liked his role as Castor Troy in Face Off. He had me laughing constantly at his improvisations..

the guy just likes to act and will put in the effort even in the crappiest b movie.. Its not like willis or Segal who will try and sit every scene and has the script read to them in an earpiece
