You can achieve success, money, and reach the top. You can also lose it all and disappear into anonymity. But sometimes there's an opportunity to emulate the Phoenix. The entertainment world has countless cases. One of the most recent involves an actor who graced big-budget productions. His charisma and talent earned him the love of the general public. Until he disappeared from Hollywood's radar, in large part due to a dark episode.
