This is something that people probably don't know but Gary Busey was involved in a bad head injury from a motorcycle accident. Like really bad. All that crazy you see on film of Gary is not acting really. It is Gary just being Gary.
I'm guessing stuff like I'm with Busey was at least partly acting and if he was THAT crazy I think he'd not have carried on getting work for so long but it seems to have gotten worse with time hence his career in larger films really griding to a hault about 15 years ago.
I'm guessing people underestimate his age as well because he only really became a household name in the late 80's having been around as an adult actor since the early 70's, to put it into perspective he's actually 2 years older than Predator 2 co cast Danny Glover at 79.
He made a reasonably big impression in the 70s with The Buddy Holly Story and Big Wednesday.
I'm guesisng most Sherdoggers probably know him from Lethal Weapon onwards though and he was already in his early 40's by then.
No doubt looking for meatball subs (looks like he hasn't eaten any in a while)
