Do you know who this is?
You’ve seen him before. Tragically, he’s been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
See who he is—->

Tragic? No. He can now get the help he needs
—His mugshot after the dramatic chase shows the drastic physical changes the actor has gone through:—-
Oy, he was 10 and now is 27. Its called aging.
I’m very sorry to hear this. Stay on your meds, Jake, please.
Yes, I know who he is, and as a child actor he was actually MORE annoying than Jar Jar Binks.
Prolly got hooked on pot at an early age.
How come the doctors aren’t telling him that the voices are natural and that he should do what they say?
Like the advice they give people with trans gender issues..
“Yeah, you should totally get surgery”
Best to the poor guy,
Just look at those eyes. You KNOW he’s gonna kill someone and dismember her.
kind of a metaphor for the whole Star Wars franchise
Ah, I got one right! Ani, meesa thinkin’ yousa’ be needing some serious help.
I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if one puny voice cried out anquish that he totally “nerf hearded” the franchise and now it has been redeemed…by a girl…
I hated that kid. I hated that movie. Maybe the voices in his head are telling him to kill Spielberg. Then his journey to the dark side will be complete.
@Corona…Speilberg??? Meesa thinkin yousa got the wrong director in your order 66.
Being a Hollyweird-related story you could switch the title to read, “Familiar Story for a Sad Figure” and it would be the same.
That’s a shock. My old friend Don was a schizophrenic. He wasn’t what one would think would be the stereotypical schizophrenic. I never felt uncomfortable around him and always admired his soft demeanor and his cutting wisdom.
The force was not strong in this one. Or maybe it was too strong – hard to tell.
I thought he played Bowl-Cut Binks?
Still more sane than Bruce Jenner.
wonder if his problem was brought about by the molestation of child actors problem in Hollywood.
did one of those intelligent, socially correct, obama loving actors “play” with him in an unGodly manner?
Never seen any of the “Star Wars” series.
I hope he gets help. It’s my understanding that Schizophrenia is incurable, though manageable.
Good luck to him and his family.
izlamo delenda est …
I’m thinking his condition wouldn’t be a deterrent to him being a stand-in for Leo diCaprio…
