Not from what I’ve heard.

Stars gotta be insured in case they fall down, go boom in the middle of filming (very expensive when that happens). Out-of-control substance abusers can’t be insured, therefore no producer will hire them for fear of having their shooting schedule upended. Hollywood can forgive just about anything, up to and including pedophilia (re: Victor Salva, Roman Polanski) but that’s where they draw the line.

True on all you said. If you have deep enough pockets, you can self-insure, though.

How long has Sheen been doing TWO AND A HALF MEN?

How long was John Belushi doing SNL ?

That's why Robert Downey Jr. hasn't made a movie since the 80s.
