He messed up production so badly with his drinking

This foreign born B- list mostly television actor is part of that foreign show which will air its last season soon over here.

Apparently our actor likes his drink.

A lot.

Enough that he was incapable of even uttering sentences or putting together a few words.

This was not a one time thing.

If it had not been the last season of the show they probably would have killed him off because he messed up production so badly with his drinking.
