I am afraid you are right. If a performer becomes uninsurable or gets a reputation of being very difficult to work with it can do severe damage to a career.
I remember the guy who played Roscoe on Dukes of Hazard had had severe heart trouble and almost did not get the part because of insurance issues. Clint Eastwood posted bond for him so he could be insured. They had worked together on Rawhide years earlier and I suppose had kept in touch.
If he wants to come back he will have to eat a lot of crow and do mea culpa to a lot of people to get back in the business. Whether one likes him or not, it took Mel Gibson a long time to get back in business and I am sure he has to walk the straight and narrow and keep his name out of the papers. Redemption is always possible. -

Who would hire him? He is uninsurable at the very least.
I agree. With all of his legal problems, uncertain refugee status, being actually banned from Equity, and unknown mental status (and a crazy wife to boot), I don't think that anyone would want to hire him on either side of the border. There are plenty of talented, stable actors they can hire. Perhaps not as, um,
unique
as Randy, but perfectly fine actors. -

Perhaps he doesn't enjoy watching a show where the two main leads are exploring each others' butt holes.

or maybe he does enjoy have his butt punched by another mans thick length, he's afraid that watching two men fall in love, will push his emotions over the edge, he'll no longer be able too contain the true nature of his sexual orientation from the world.or perhaps he just doesn't like Ozzie actors.ha

Why is being homosexual perverted? And why is it being unnatural in any way relevant considering most things mankind do is unnatural i.e. eat until we die, drive V8's to poison the earth until it uninhabitable, have sex with condoms? You came with two truly retarded statements, but maybe that has to do with how terrible schools in Texas and Greece are.

I saw that picture of him and it looks like he has gone off into the deep end. It is sad to see someone crash and burn and I hope he gets help before he is so far gone that he can't come back like John Barrymore, Jr. Another promising actor who got a career and did not know what to do with it and crashed and burned. I will pray for him.

9. Randy Quaid
Randy Quaids last acting credit was 2009s Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach and its hard to imagine that its his finest work. The actor is more well known for his crazy role as Eddie in the National Lampoons Vacatio2000n movies. Hes also appeared in more recent fare like The Ice Harvest and Brokeback Mountain. He was a funny and wild actor and one has to wonder what the hell happened to the trailer park dad that stole our hearts in Independence Day
Acting doesnt seem to be a top priority for the funnyman today. Hes gone crazier than cousin Eddie. Trouble began brewing for the actor after he filmed his small role in Brokeback Mountain. Quaid sued Focus Features after the movie made far more than anyone involved expected. A representative later claimed the suit was dropped because Quaid received a bonus, but the studio denied any such bonus was paid.
After that, there were just a lot of random stories involving Quaid that involved skipping out on hotel bills and not appearing in court to faces charges of burglary and fraud. The actor has recently been trying to gain permanent resident status in Canada where he is currently staying. He was denied probably based on the fact that hes still wanted in the United States. Though he claims he wont return to the States because too many celebrities have died under mysterious circumstances and he fears the Hollywood star whackers will come after him should he return.
Quaid will probably never act again, but his recent escapades would make for a hell of a movie. -
