Anyone have some names? I am not looking for drug problems behind the scenes, just the actors/actresses that were actually high while filming.

Wasn't the entire cast of Apocalypse Now fricked out of their minds for most of the filming?

Martin Sheen was actually drunk off his arse in his famous “drunk off his arse” scene in Apocalypse Now. That what you mean?

Apparently Samuel Jackson had a pretty bad drug issue early on in his career. I think he went to rehab after Jungle Fever.

Dennis Hopper said he was on acid pretty much the entire time on the Apocolypse Now set.Charlie Sheen said he was partying every night during Wall Street.

Tom Seizmore was supposed to have been using coke/crack pretty heavy during Saving Pvt Ryan...Tom Hanks and others supposedly tried a mini intervention.

Carrie Fisher was supposed to have been pretty high during Star Wars filming

Those folks were all admitted addicts so I don't think any of those stories are shocking.

The mountain of coke in Scarface was real. After the scene was over, Pacino did the whole thing by himself.

Always heard Annette Haven did Cocaine anally before doing rough anal.

Johnny Depp was lit during the entire filming of that Las Vegas role he played right? That was the rumor.

Robert Downey, Jr. Was supposedly cranked out of his mind during the shooting of Less Than Zero.

Heath Ledger was always on drugs during filming late in his career.

The kid that played Harry Potter .... I saw an interview with him where he claimed he was shite faced on set all the time.

Brittany Murphy was on downers while shooting Girl Interrupted.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was on all sorts of drugs while filming the Bond movie and the Hunger Games movies.

And no doubt, Hopper and Fonda said they were both dropping acid while filming Easy Rider.

If weed and cocaine count, then its a lot of them. If you include alcohol then its almost all of them.

Richard Pryor was based out of his skull for most of his movies. Especially after he hit it big.

I'll have to find the interview, but he basically said he didn't even remember some of his roles because he was so high while filming.

Nah.Studios were far more tolerant of drugs and alcohol in the 70's,80's and 90's and many actors were continually hired with known drug problems and studios just looked the other way.

Studios just won't put up with it for the most part these days.
Far too much on the line.

Cary Grant was on acid during most of the filming of Operation Petticoat. He was introduced to it during therapy and was a big proponent of its effectiveness.
