Actors Who Played Convincing Drug Addicts On The Big Screen
Cory Monteith
In July actor Cort Monteith passed away from an overdose of heroin and alcohol. Before his untimely passing, the “Glee” star filmed the movie McKanick, which turned out to be his final role. In an ironic twist, the Calgary, Canada native plays a drug-addicted street hustler who is sent to prison on a murder rap. In real life, Monteith battled with his drug addiction for years and had two stints in rehab, the last one in April.
