Actors Who Played Convincing Drug Addicts On The Big Screen
Halle Berry
Oscar winning actress Halle Berry made her debut on the silver screen in Spike Lee’s 1991 film Jungle Fever. Playing opposite Wesley Snipes, Berry was the strung out girlfriend of Samuel L. Jackson’s character Gator, another drug addict. Four years later, Berry would channel her inner junkie again in Losing Isaiah. Berry earned an NAACP Image Award nomination as Khaila Richards, a mother who fought to win her baby back after he was born addicted to crack.
