Don Johnson – Miami Vice

Don Johnson began his career as a stage and movie actor in the ’70s. His rise to fame began when he appeared on the popular series Miami Vice, where he portrayed Det. Sonny Crockett in a city filled with drugs, lawyers and gangsters. Don also released two music albums during the ’80s, with the single ‘Heartbeat’ getting to No.5 on the Billboard charts. Nowadays, you can catch him on the TV show Eastbound & Down.

Matt Dillon – Bad Boy

A very promising young actor from the early ’80s was Matt Dillon. Matt played a bad boy in many movies, including Rumble Fish, My Bodyguard, and Little Darlings. He also made appearances in several comedy films alongside Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson. He once played a drug addict in the movie Drugstore Cowboy, which was praised both by audiences and critics.

Mel Gibson – Alcohol Abuse 

Mel Gibson has come back after being in Hollywood exile for over ten years. Mel was a huge star in the ’80s, but his behavior got too out of hand for Hollywood to handle. The actor was once barred from driving since he was arrested driving under the influence of alcohol. His DUI attorney was again able to avoid a prison sentence when he got arrested under the same charges in 2006. We hope he keeps the best criminal attorney in his contacts list as it might come in handy if he continues his dangerous behavior.
