Part of his problem was his drug use. I did a film with him in the early 90s. We had to delay reshoots several times in order for him to be released from drug rehab. From talk on the set, it wasn't his time in rehab. I don't know if this continued but it was certainly an issue in that part of his career. The "stars" of the movie were Dennis Hopper, Matthew Modine and Beatrice Dalle. Hopper was a total ass, who sent his production assistant to give instructions to other actors about interfering with his "eye line." Beatrice Dalle was French, and--I would swear---learned the entire film phonetically, English not being her first language. One of my scenes was with Matthew Modine, and I spent the better part of a day being driven back and forth across the MacArthur Causeway in a sports car, on the back of a flat bed truck. Modine could not have been nicer, and was a complete joy to work with. The rest of the movie was a "paycheck" that played a few art houses, and then went to video.
