Why didn't he do more acting?


He was a very good actor, with a wonderful mysterious screen presence and a face the camera loved. He could have had done much more acting than he did, or after the success of "Labyrinth" and "The Hunger" in the 80s, he had an excellent chance to be a genuine movie star.

So why didn't he do more acting? His screen appearances were always welcome, but sporadic.

Better question is why didn’t his cancer get cured?
