14. Gary Busey, Motorcycle Accident
Considered a joke by many people today because of his strange statements and unusual appearance,Gary was once a respected actor who was capable of playing fearsome characters. Nominated for an Academy Award for his lead performance in The Buddy Holly Story, the other role of his that is most beloved was as part of Lethal Weapon. Then he got badly hurt in a motorcycle accident in which his skull was fractured and his brain was feared to have suffered damage. Able to recover enough to work, he remained a star for a number of years but his work became more erratic, explosive, and mocked. Now a has-been, he took part in the 2008 season of Celebrity Rehab where doctors suspected his injury altered his personality and caused him to act impulsively. No longer a star because of his altered looks, which can also be traced back to the accident and the behavior that now seems to have started because of the accident, Gary deserves far more respect.
