He was in the movie The Lost Boys. It was a good movie. But a drug overdose?

Some 80s actor, there was a pretty funny episode/episodes of robot chicken involving him.

i figured my lack of knowledge of who he is also made my lack of care pretty obvious.

i know i've seen it, but i don't remember anything about it. as far as the drug overdose, it seems that with celebrities it's either that, or old age. except the kung fu/kill bill dude, he was just a freak.

Drug overdose = no sympathy from Ryan. Besides, look at those collars.

Really?

Wow that comment makes me feel old. I think that the 2 Coreys were in pretty much every movie from my childhood.

It's not very surprising though, he has been a junkie for years. So like stated above, not much sympathy.

john, it's not that i didn't see the movies, it's that i really didn't care enough about the actors that were in them to remember who they were.

Come on, License to Drive? The Lost boys? Prayer of the Rollerboys? Lucas? ANd I'm sure if I go on IMDB I can find more great 80's movies that he was in.

As a young teenage actor I really like the movies he was in. Another really cool one I remember watching back in Junior High was Dream Machine where he gets his hands on a Porsche. Yeah it's a bad 90's movie but whatever, a lot of movies in the 90's were much worse. This was expected, too bad he never got his life back on track again.

Here is Dream Machine on youtube!
