MDC 6,822 Posted February 2, 2014 That's a shame, he was a really good actor vs being a male model who can sort of act like a lot of movie stars. He was terrific in The Master. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tikigods 76 Posted February 2, 2014 A needle was in the actor's left arm, and eight empty glassine-type bags that usually contain heroin were found in the apartment, law enforcement sources told CNN. The bags were stamped with "Ace of Hearts" and "Ace of Spades" -- street names for the heroin, the sources said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
