    It's Vincent Gallo, he apparently was a hustler for a period before he became an actor/writer/director/annoyance.

    (Not to suggest that any of the others are off the hook, though!)

    I don't consider RDJ eccentric. I'm on the Vincent Gallo bandwagon.

    I like the Mickey Rourke guess. Especially since he is in the limelight right now.

    My first thought was Crispin Glover, but why a blind about him? Doubt it's Joaquin b/c he was in Space Camp & Parenthood when he was a kid &...my mind will just not go there.

    It was rumored that John Travolta turned into a big old bottom on Broadway when he was a chorus boy looking to succeed. Does he count in the eccentric column?

    What about Harrison Ford? Eccentric pothead, rumored to have got his start hustling sex and drugs to Lucas, Spielberg, Coppola etc.

    I don't think he is all that eccentric, but I have heard this rumour attached to Colin Farrell many a time.
