What a shame. He was a fantastic actor. Loved him in Moneyball, A Late Quartet, Hunger Games, Pirate Radio, Charlie Wilson’s War, Mission Impossible III, Cold Mountain, Patch Adams, etc.

If there’s one abiding truth, it’s that fat guys shouldn’t do coke or smack. You need a gym rat’s physique to be able to put up with that kind of damage.

He was actually a pretty talented character and occasional lead actor. I enjoyed much of his work. This is just pathetic and sad. condolences to his family.

RIP

I saw him in this recent video which his role pretty much shows him as he was a drug using elitist.

Crazy wild guy in Twister. Good actor. What a stupid waste of life. Oscar, kids, money—what was HE suffering from, whst ‘pain’?

Went to school many moons ago in Fairport, a suburb of Rochester, NY.
Local boy makes good ... although I never heard of him until his Oscar.

Very sad. He was a great actor. I read that he had even been in a heroin recovery program last year, but obviously even that wasn’t enough.

That was my first thought, as that character seems to be an important one.

Are you saying that if one person craps their pants, the rest of us should wear diapers?

I'm sorry this guy died. That's no excuse for making more laws.

I completely forgot he was in “Twister.” I remember him from “Boogie Nights.”
