    Never understood people's fascination with his "disappearance." Almost seemed like a Joaquin Phoenix/Casey Affleck performance art type thing. It's been way too convenient how all these stories get planted in the media, a long play move to get him back in the minds of people before he came back. I know he was an inspiration to people and seems like a genuinely good person, but this seems likes some sort of self promotional con for a guy whose star was descending.

    Star descending..more like crashed and burned. He has been out of the limelight for many years. I honestly forgot about him...seems like he could have come up with something quicker.
