Last sane movie roll for Busey?


Was this the final movie Gary Busey did before his head injury. He seems like hes at least half less crazy as he is in later films.

He was medicated with Depakote during this period to control his impulses, and I believe he slowly stopped taking it. His mental state started to deteriorate radically in the late 90's. It's not unusual that people with major head trauma start to give in more to their impulses as they age. It's kind of sad. He was a great actor with a ton of personality and charisma. And now there are people in the entertainment industry exploiting his mental state for their own gain.
