Cory... druggie? bad idea to start


I've heard his role in this movie is a man who is a druggie... is it really? if so... why did he take on this role if he was trying to overcome drugs? which kinda makes me wonder.. he must have had drugs to practice for this role... like think about it. It was an encouragement to his problem.. and the result of it is... etc. Honestly, someone should've stopped him from taking this role but it's too late, it's already happened and it can't be changed...

Very bad if he was a method actor.

People need to take responsibility for their own lives, choices and resulting consequences of those choices. I don't claim to know what is involved in how actors/actresses choose roles, but it was SOLELY up to Cory if he did/didn't take this particular project. It was also his choice to do/not do drugs. He also could have died at the age he did on the day he did from some random food allergy or a car accident or in his sleep. Nobody was in his body or knew his innermost thoughts and feelings or why he made the choices he did. A job doesn't dictate how/why a person falls into this kind of downward spiral.

All we can do is make the best choices we can with the options we have and allow others the freedom to do the same.
