Actors Who Played Convincing Drug Addicts On The Big Screen

- By

Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr. is one of Hollywood’s leading men and topped this year’s list of highest-earning actors. Back when he was just starting out in his career, Downey won critical acclaim for playing a drug-addicted rich boy in the 1987 film Less Than Zero. Downey likened that role to the ghost of Christmas Future. During the filming of the movie, the Iron Man star was fighting his own addiction and he winded up becoming an “exaggeration of the character” in real life.
