Actors Who Played Convincing Drug Addicts On The Big Screen
Chris Rock
Comedian Chris Rock had a few bit parts under his belt when he was cast as the coke addict police informant in the 1991 cult classic movie New Jack City. Starring alongside Wesley Snipes, Ice-T and Allen Payne, Rock stole the show as the skinny homeless Pookie fresh out of rehab. Recruited to drop dimes on a drug dealer played by Snipes, Pookie couldn’t resist the allure of crack and went back to his old habits.
