  8. It's Vincent Gallo, he apparently was a hustler for a period before he became an actor/writer/director/annoyance.

    (Not to suggest that any of the others are off the hook, though!)

  9. I don't consider RDJ eccentric. I'm on the Vincent Gallo bandwagon.

  14. My first thought was Crispin Glover, but why a blind about him? Doubt it's Joaquin b/c he was in Space Camp & Parenthood when he was a kid &...my mind will just not go there.

  22. It was rumored that John Travolta turned into a big old bottom on Broadway when he was a chorus boy looking to succeed. Does he count in the eccentric column?
