I was thinking that since there is a thread on Golden Age Hollywood going on, I'd start one on aspie actors who aren't in the mainstream.

So far I've come up with Crispin Glover and Daryl Hannah.

only one I know of is Dan Akroyd... not sure if that's obscure enough...

someone said Courtney Love was aspie -- and she's sort of an actor.

He wasn't exactly an actor, but I've thought for years that Andy Warhol had to be an Aspie.

Never researched it though.

I've heard Dan Akroyd mentioned before as having AS. Is it true?

I've heard this and he has even claimed it in an interview. However, I wonder if it is true. I say that because he claims he was diagnosed in the 1960's, but I thought there was no such thing as an AS diagnosis until 1994 :?:

. Perhaps he was joking? It would be cool if someone as well-known and successful as him had AS, but I want to know the truth about him before I repeat the claim as such.

I've heard that Keannu Reeves is a diagnosed aspie. He certainly doesn't seem to like eye contact, judging from some pictures.

I've heard that about both actors. Incidentally, I was watching Casa de los Babys (with Daryl Hannah) before I went Christmas shopping.

I read somewhere that Keanu was an Aspie.

Others I think are are
Robert Downey Jr.
Al Pacino

Although none of these guys are obsucre.

This is a good one to think on though.
