I know someone who burns through a million or so a year, but he smuggles cigarettes.
But wouldnāt this make a great episode of NYPD Blue? Well, not sure what the crime is, so maybe not.
It is sad. Iāll always remember how many breaks addicts were given on his shows. Such a deeply human set of solutions he pioneered during his NYPD Career, also. And the homepage for Deadwood has a āsouls savedā counterā¦ ohā¦ thatās a Body Counter. Well, I am sure he is a deeply compassionate man.
Otherwise itās just fodder for the totally compassionate TV writers out there who never made a dime off other peoples tragedies.
I think youāre confusing a lack of compassion with self-loathing when it comes to his writing. Addicts who are self-aware arenāt exactly happy with their situation, and artistic ones often pour that contempt for themselves into their work.

I donāt see them as mutually exclusive.
And Iām not going to accept an invitation to loathe myself over noting that someone without much apparent compassion in his career choices AND writing suddenly appears to need some. (the initial comment, not you, said it felt scummy to report on it)
I hope he finds some. He should not look here (to me) for it.
Whelp, hereās hopingā¦
Fair enough. But as I said in my comment, he does have a reputation for being very compassionate and generous to his industry colleagues, and chances are heāll find some of it returned.

I loved Luck, sad it was cancelled. After I watched the first few episodes I was utterly not surprised to find out he was involved. Heās the master of juggling way too many characters.
I kinda lost sympathy when I read āNow the Milches must get by on Davidās HBO earnings, believed to be in the low-seven figures, and residualsā.
I wish I had to āget byā on maybe 3 or 4 million dollars a year.
