Acting's a tough business. If you're lucky enough to get a
good role - and perhaps find fame in it - you have to keep up appearances at
all times. Or else you might find yourself in the same spot as Isaiah
Washington, who was out of job despite multiple apologies. What's he doing now?
Other well-known actors have found themselves in a similar spot for different
reasons. Here's a look at some of them.
