re: Had Brandon Lee Not Died During The Crow, What Kind of Career Would He Have Had?

I think they both would have gone the Val Kilmer route. Some new guy would come here and post a picture from the last five years and ask, "What happened to him?"

Yeah, the Val Kilmer road was also a possibility for River Phoenix. I just didn't want to bring that one up, but one thing different about Phoenix that Depp and DiCaprio didn't have (since I used those 2 in an earlier comparison) going for them, was a huge drug problem. Even if River Phoenix would have survived, he might have flamed out within a decade because people might have been tired of working with him and shite. So although I think his talent was on the same level as DiCaprio and Johnny Depp, I'm not sure he had the same discipline.
