On the other hand, Edward Furlong shone brightly from the start. He won Teen Idol and went on to play John Connor in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. His portrayal of a skinhead in American History X was praised for its realism but panned for its terrifying violence. Over the years, Furlong has appeared in films such as Pet Sematary 2, American Heart, Detroit Rock City, The Green Hornet, and A Home of Our Own. His acting career lasted until the 1990s, with varying degrees of success (including another Terminator film) and a single, Hold on Tight, that was only released in Japan.

Edward’s life had finally become unbalanced. As a result of his rapidly worsening drug and alcohol problems, his reputation began to crumble. In October of 2000, Edward was finally admitted to treatment. He said, “I was a drug user who used opium and cocaine. It was very frightening. I haven’t spoken about [partying] in a long time. Playing, clubbing, and doping coke seems to be lonely now. Taking heavy drugs gives me insomnia.” On his face, his previous drug addiction issues are clearly visible.
