We may not be doctors, but we know an epidemic when we see one: Why are some of our favorite actors making such woeful, career-threatening decisions?

It's time to bust out the prescription pad and cure what's ailing Hollywood. A Tijuana-size bottle of Percocet? No, our approach is more holistic. We asked those in the know — managers, producers, among others — to give the careers of selected actors the once-over.

To guarantee their candor, we allowed them to speak anonymously. Let the healing begin!
