Actor shows his inner 'Sheen'
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNF
LOS ANGELES - Ask Gary Busey about his life these days, and he's likely to flash his trademark toothy grin. He might also jump up and declare, as he did in a recent interview, "he's CRAZY good!"
The 66-year-old actor is keenly aware of the perceptions about him. He knows you think he's crazy. And he knows it has everything to do with a litany of well-publicized highs and lows that span more than three decades in Hollywood; a battle with drugs after his lead actor Oscar nomination for 1978's "The Buddy Holly Story"; a near-fatal motorcycle crash that caused a traumatic brain injury in 1988; an appearance as his "crazy" self on a 2007 episode of "Entrourage"; a stint on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" in 2008; and an unsolicited neck smooch delivered to a startled jennifer Garner on the
red carpet at the Academy Awards in 2008.
in 2008. The actor was even a punch line on last week's "Saturday Night Live" during a skit where a ranting Charlie Sheen (Bill Hader) read an e-mail praising him for making "perfect sense," adding, "Finally, I know, I'm not crazy." Signed "gbusev69".
Busey's off-kilter personality is on full display again in the latest edition of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice."
Apprentice.
"There's a lot more to Gary than we've seen on 'Celebrity Rehab,' said Eden Gaha, an executive producer on "Celebrity Apprentice." "His whole process is different. The question is whether he's crazy or a genius. He has no filter."
But for those who think Busey is way off the deep end, he's got a message.
"I'm not difficult," insisted Busey, his gruff voice accompanying a graceful waving of his arms. "It's not in my vocabulary. Because of a few difficulties with myself, it caused me to retreat from my true self. After 'The Buddy Holly Story', I went over the rainbow. I didn't know how to handle everything that came at me. It's different now. I've moved on into the light. It was just all a part of the journey of finding me."
findin me.
In many ways, there's a thin line between the new Busey and the former "wild and crazy" Busey. A visitor he had just met was treated like an old friend, with affectionate pats and hugs.
pats and hugs.
During one point in an interview, he suddenly threw a couch pillow at a photographer who was clearing his equipment after shooting Busey. "Am I making too much noise?" "Naw," said Busey with a wide smile. "I just want to show you I like you."
