RDJ I agree
The B.J.he was a giving
in 'Less Than Zero' never looked too forced

NicScott said...

Robin Williams

David D. said...

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!)

Audrey said...

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

Eccentric??
LMAO!!That is about 90% of all Hollyweird actors.
Is there any small extra clue...timeline?age?new actor or acadamy award winner...some more info would be nice.

RDJ has been in the business a long, long time.

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

Ror said...

Vincent Gallo for sure.

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.

Doesn't this blind apply to half the actors out there?

Valerie, I would say more than half hahaha.

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?

KellyLynn said...

I'm with valerie and Sylvia on this one. This could be just about anyone.

Never seen so many different names as guesses on a BI. Fun.

Jesse D, I like your guess.

Brainy Pirate said...

Brando or Jimmy Dean

Pink Skull said...

All of them.

For some reason this smacks of Old Hollywood to me. Perhaps someone who has been around a long time?

Snautrag said...

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

VerityFine said...

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