Good Actors, Bad Decisions

Have you ever seen an actor for the first time and you think that this person has a promising career ahead of them only to be disappointed a few years down the road to see them in the tabloids because of drugs and drinking and ludicrous behavior? One actor I have in mind is Lindsay Lohan. In her Disney movies as a teenager, I thought she was going to be great. Her comedic timing was good and her acting was good too. Now, who knows what her acting career is going to be. She can be the next Drew Barrymore- go through her teen/young adult angst and problems only to become a better actor and person afterward. Or she could become another Danny Bonaduce- known mostly for being a has-been who could have been something. What other actors can you think of that are very talented, but have done things that tarnish their acting career?

Well, Mel Gibson is doing bad right now with all the drama and craziness. I used to love him... a really, really bad way to end his great career. But I'm glad Robert Downey Jr. is back on track.

Good example! Mel Gibson. He use to be thought of as one of the best actors, especially after Braveheart, Lethal Weapon, Conspiracy Theory, The Patriot, etc. Now, what is everyone going to remember about him? His drama and ludicrous rants.
