myboyblue Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 "News" story I figured his encounter in a Chicago Walgreens a few months back was more than odd but this latest may just have him bordering on spoiled actor guy without much in the way of self control? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Dude's a loser.Seriously? He got in trouble, at 21, for being drunk in a Walgreens, and now he has a DUI. Now, that's definitely a serious thing, and he needs to take care of it, but "loser"? Come on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 When in doubt, blame the parents. Honestly, that is why we say "parenting is not for pussies." Pussies give their kids names like Shia. point: crazy cat lady. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I have a hard time imagining anyone above the age of 15 (other than his friends and family, etc) giving nifty shits about him. I am amazed that there is a thread. Sorry for being cantakerous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am amazed that there is a thread. Sorry for being cantakerous. I'm with you... although he has been increasingly more visible as an up and coming actor in adult periodicals etc. I haven't seen him in anything other than Saturday Night Live. That said, when I saw the news in the Tribune this weekend, it reminded me of the story from when he was filming in Chicago and got in trouble at the Walgreens. If you haven't seen/read that story, he's goofy. He went back into that store 4 or 5 times before he was arrested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 who names their kid Shia?"The actor's father was a professional clown and Vietnam vet who struggled with a heroin addiction. His mother sold beads on the street." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart-mine Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 "The actor's father was a professional clown and Vietnam vet who struggled with a heroin addiction. His mother sold beads on the street."the mother sounds like the best of the lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Shouldn't the drunken driving charge be the same regardless of how serious the injuries were? And none of this is as troubling as the Andy Dick mug shot that shows up on the Tribune page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 "The actor's father was a professional clown and Vietnam vet who struggled with a heroin addiction.

I am amazed that there is a thread. Sorry for being cantakerous. I've had a soft spot for him ever since the show "Even Stevens," in which he was adorable and reminded me of my little brother. Hope he stops being such an idiot soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
