a child actor having a successful and influential Hollywood career instead of turning to drugs. I watched a lot of his movies growing up and it's unfortunate that a lot of child actors turn to drugs (i.e. his The Cure castmate Brad Renfro, who I had a huge crush on growing up) and even more unfortunately die from them. Keep up the good work :)
shareIt is nice to see he hasn't fallen into the same traps as so many young actors do.
A very strong family and lots of talent certainly helped in his case.
shareHow can there be more child actors that die from drugs than child actors who are addicted to drugs, OP?
sharei was just watching jurassic park as soon as i saw the kid i noticed he is eugene b. sledge from HBO's "the pacific." he does pretty well in that.
shareYeah, I dont know...but you dont have to be addicted to drugs to die from them. What I meant was there are alot of child actors who become drug addicts and die from drug overdoses...maybe not even washed up. It's just unfortunate.
shareI think it's fantastic that he's in a lead role in a big movie. He is a great actor and has been for years. I hope that he gets many accolades for his accomplishments.
