For an example both Vincent Gallo and Timothy Carey are crazy dudes, Sally Kirklands also known to be a bit wonky.

Crispin Glover is an odd duck. Gary Busey and Mel Gibson are both known for their odd behavior, although with Mel it might be the drink.

Lawrence Tierney (best known today as "Joe" from Reservoir Dogs) is the subject of quite a few anecdotes about his strange behavior going back to the 1940s.
He once landed a role on an episode of Seinfeld. From wiki...
"Cast and crew members were very impressed with Tierney's performance, and intended to make "Alton Benes" a recurring character. However, they were frightened of him; during filming it was discovered that Tierney had stolen a butcher knife from the knife block in Jerry's apartment set. Various cast members remember Seinfeld encountering Tierney and stating "Hey Lawrence, what do you got there in your jacket?". Tierney, realizing he had been caught, tried to make a joke about how he thought taking the knife would be funny, by reenacting a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), holding the knife above his head and making threatening motions towards Seinfeld. Tom Cherones, Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus saw this happen, and, as Alexander recalled, it "scared the living crap out of all of us." Cherones stated that, afterwards, Larry David would jokingly threaten to have Tierney back on the show if Cherones did his work badly."

The recently deceased Robert Conrad was well known for his fisticuffs. I also read that Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander were genuinely terrified of Lawrence Tierney in his short roles on the Seinfeld show.

Less amusingly, I gather Margot Kidder suffered serious MH problems.... and poor Elizabeth Hartman had her demons before her final flight.
Seberg probably deserves a mention - Opinion differs as to when and to what extent she cracked - Some said soon after the FBI smear... others say not really til her final 2-3 years....
Gene Tierney spent some of the late 50s in "sanatarium"....
Frances Farmer was incarcerated and lobotomised.

Now now... we mustn't be too quick to judge...maybe he was just very exercised about having to do his own laundry again.

The Brood: Oliver Reed was arrested by the Canadian police during the production of this film after he made a bet with someone that he could walk from one bar to another without wearing clothes in freezing cold weather.

Klaus Kinski was my instant thought. His autobiography is a helluva read.
Now, before he gets too old, can someone make a biopic starring Willem Dafoe

Director Piers Haggard claimed the best behaved member of the cast was the black mamba.

I often find myself wondering about Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix. How much of what he says and does is an "act", and how much of it is "real" ?? SAVE FERRIS

AVE FERRISAll this recent talk about Greta and how she has been damaged by her parents and their causes and yet nothing about Joaquin and his Uber-Vegan extreme stances instilled by his parents in the "Hippy-Dippy" Era. He was so great in Parenthood when he still went by the name of Leaf … that is when he caught my eye as a potential future super-star … it's been interesting watching him grow up and disturbing to see his mental condition.
Huge huge regret is not getting to see River .but that's another story. my 2 cents

Dennis Hopper went through a crazy phase that lasted a few decades. Ca 1973, I happened upon Dennis Hopper at the Albuquerque airport. I was going up the escalator, he was coming down, so to speak. When he saw that I recognized him, a look of fear and paranoia came over him. We passed each other without any words.

Barbara Hershey eventually settled down but went through a hippie phase in the early ‘70s that got her some scorn and derision. During filming of “Last Summer” she felt responsible for the death of a seagull. She said she felt the spirit of the seagull enter her spirit. For a time she changed her name to Barbara Seagull, which annoyed directors who would not cast her under that name or made her take a lower salary if she went under that billing. In 1972, she and her partner David Carradine had a son that they named “Free” (or, as Merv Griffin asked Carradine, “Why not ‘Expensive’?”). The boy later changed his name. When she was calling herself Barbara Seagull

Dennis Hopper went through a crazy phase that lasted a few decades. Oh good Lord - Good Call - Yes - he was found stoned, naked and mumbling on the set of JUNGLE WARRIORS (1984) and replaced by Marjoe Gortner. JUNGLE WARRIORS is a trash masterpiece - a bevy of high fashion models crash lands in a south American jungle, gut captured and tortured by a sadistic lesbian, and then make their break for freedom. Nina Van Pallandt, Woody Strode, John Vernon, Sybil Danning , Alex Cord and Louisa Moritz fill out the ideal Z movie cast. Make sure you get the uncut version with graphic decapitations and impalings. Hopper's turn in BLUE VELVET I'd rank in all time great movie villains.
