Yes, I'd read recently that he was seriously into heroin and his friends were concerned. Young family too. Very sad. Such a talented bloke.
An amazing talent, who was getting better with age. A nice fella by all accounts, with a young family. But renowned junkie and troubled soul. It was reported he was tired and run down, that's when it will get you. It's a sneaky basterd like that, heroin. Very sad.
I only watched Red Dragon last night too, and thought I recognised the name when it was posted on here. Can't really say I've seen him in anything else. Obviously very well thought of in the movie world, however.

Thought he was great in 25th Hour. A very underrated film to be honest, and his performance was impressive. Sad way to go out. Feel for his loved ones etc.
