he was a real mess on Dr. Drew's rehab show. Left the rehab facility early, as I recall

"Grease" actor Jeff Conaway critical after overdose

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jeff Conaway, former star of the film "Grease" and the 1970s TV series "Taxi" has been hospitalized due to an apparent overdose of painkillers.

Conaway's manager Phil Brock said on Thursday the actor was in "critical but stable condition" at a Los Angeles area hospital and was "unconscious and unresponsive".

The 60-year-old actor, who has a history of addiction to cocaine, alcohol and prescription painkillers, was found unconscious at his home last week by a friend and may have been there for about 10 hours before being discovered.

I hope he pulls through. LOVED him in "Grease," and on both "Taxi" and "Babylon 5"!

Hate to hear about stuff like this.

5. The reality show with Dennis Rodman?
Rodman looked like death on rollerskates.
