Yep, Freddy Lounds. He physically didn't resemble the character as written AT ALL, but he became the guy anyway. Amazing actor.

What a beautiful photo. .thanks for posting this.
May his memory be a blessing.
Oh @Christine62 this is how I feel too. On top of that he had all the opportunity in the world to find ways to quit...to rehabilitate. I do personally find it sad, not because he is a celebrity but simply because a person died. I wont lose sleep and I have very little sympathy. You make your bed. 3 children under 10..now thats sad too. Bad choices is right.
Hey, I didn't say it...I was just quoting the man himself.
I was in a dual diagnosis nice rehab a short time ago - for a month. I could not believe all the young adults (19-24) that were there for opiates. (heroin, perks etc..) Mom and dad paid for it. And I knew they had no intention of stopping when they got out. In fact, one of the people in my small group OD'd the week he was released. It is a demon.
(I am fine, btw.. I have not done drugs for years and years and never anything like that)
I am sorry to hear of his passing, may his soul rest in peace.
...good on you NN for hangin' tough...and not in the New Kids On The Block sense...
I don't know if they have them anymore but in Midland Texas in the late seventies they had a 24 hour AA club. It saved my dad's life. My mom kicked him out of the house for spending bill money on drinking and so he tried to drink himself to death--literally. When he came back, the whites of his eyes were yellow. My mom called the AA number in the phonebook and two people came over and stayed until 1 am. The next morning my dad took a shower and got dressed for his new job --going to AA club. He went at 7am until 11pm every single day for the next days. With the exception one slip, he didn't drink again for the next 30 years even when life got really unbearable with having to deal with parkinsons for the last 25. I will always be grateful for that 24 hour AA club.
Such sad news to hear of his un-timely death. I loved all his films especially the role he took as The Count in 'The Boat That Rocked' , a comedy film about pirate radio in the United Kingdom during the 1960s.
I loved his performance in "Flawless," an excellent movie about an unlikely friendship. Robert De Niro costars in this one. I still can't believe he died so young - so sad.
Hey Hey! I saw them "LIVE IN CONCERT!!" back in the day!! errr.. I took my neice when she was about 8 - we had a sign and everything..
I am fine - thanks guys!
I am fine - thanks guys!
I wouldn't comment on the whys/wherefores unless I'd walked a minute in his shoes. Until then, I don't think I deserve to comment. I'm ruddy sad he's gone, loved his work.
It is a shame that anyone becomes dependent upon drugs. Something wrong with the old impulse control switch there. And, problem is these people never learn that money can't buy happiness, particularly when injected into the old arm, or between the toes. Seems like lessons are there to be learned, right Elvis, Judy, River, Michael?? Nobody gets out alive, but drugs is one sure way to get to the exit door first.

Careful GNT, you'll have Marky Mark looking for ya...
That mug shot is hard to look at - it breaks my heart. So many sad and hurting people in the world...
I am pretty sure it said, " I LOVE JOEY" with a big heart. (I didn't hold it, I swear..)
