comments:
Such a great beginning! Mixed Blood; Five Corners with Jodie Foster; Spike of Bensonhurst with Sasha Mitchell; part of the great ensemble cast of the short-lived series "The Outsiders"; with River and Keanu in My Own Private Idaho; and finally, alongside the illustrious Drew Barrymore in Guncrazy. We like what we saw, Mr. Harvey! Unfortunately, Rodney fell into the pit of young Hollywood, following in the foosteps of his co-star in Idaho, River Phoenix, Rodney's body was found in a fleabag hotel in Hollywood on April 11th, with a syringe, an empty balloon and a 7-Up can he used as a cooker. He was reported to have been battling a heroin habit for years, in and out of jail on drug charges. Another one bites the dust. Pity, you had such promise, Rodney!
May you finally rest in peace....
