For renegade comic Sam Kinison, nothing was out of bounds. Never afraid to be politically incorrect, Sam took on religion, women and relationships, even world hunger and the gay community. It was all the more incredible when you consider his former profession: that of Pentecostal minister. This profile looks at his early life, as the son of an outspoken preacher whose family lived in their church. It then traces his days as a minister, his struggle to make it in comedy, his reputation as a world class party animal, his transformation into one of the most successful and influential stand-ups of the 80s and early 90s, and sadly his tragic death in a car crash on the way to a performance. Includes exclusive, newly shot interviews from fellow comics and friends of Sam, including Jim Carrey, Richard Belzer, Richard Lewis, Pauley Shore and Corey Feldman, as well as members of Sam's family.

He's had a meteoric rise to fame in the '80s, co-starring with fellow Brat Packers Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore, and Charlie Sheen in a series of popular teen movies. After scandals and controversies threatened to derail his career, Lowe got back on track and officially took his career off life support when he joined the cast of The West Wing. His role in the TV hit earned him his third and fourth Golden Globe nominations, two SAG awards, and an Emmy nomination. And his guest appearances in Brothers & Sisters was an immediate hit with viewers, helped boost ratings, and landed him a permanent cast position.

Profile of one of the most gifted, prolific actors in Hollywood and one of its greatest comeback stories. At the age of twenty he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live for one season and would go on to star in several high grossing 80s movies. But then Downey was arrested in 1996 and his brushes with the law continued until 2000 when he cleaned up his act and became a regular on the television series, Ally McBeal. A Golden Globe award followed as did an Emmy nomination. Since then, Downey has put his career back in full swing and is set to star in the sci-fi adventure, Iron Man, with co-star Gwyneth Paltrow.

By the mid-1990's Australian actor Russell Crowe had proven himself with a diversity of roles that included everything from a gullible dishwasher to a brutal Nazi skinhead, and even a gay plumber. But it wasn't until the 1997 blockbuster L.A. Confidential that American audiences took notice. Just three years later, Crowe vaulted to A-list Hollywood stardom with his charismatic and Oscar-winning performance in Gladiator. Crowe's smoldering on-screen intensity has led some to compare him to a young Marlon Brando. But the comparison also includes his reputation as a bad boy, with Crowe having made tabloid headlines on numerous occasions.

Iowa native Kutcher seems like the kind of guy who's always led a charmed life, but he's had his share of heartbreaks. His fraternal twin has cerebral palsy, he lived through a stormy home life growing up, and he was busted for burglary in high school. But things started looking up after Kutcher moved to L.A. and was cast in the sitcom, That 70s Show. He moved on to film roles like Dude, Where's My Car?, and he has produced and starred in MTV's prankfest Punk'd. His marriage to Demi Moore, 15 years older, has produced much hand wringing among his female fans, but that hasn't stopped them from flocking to his flicks.

The larger-than-life Canadian with a heart to match was known for his family-friendly fare, appearing in nearly 40 films before his untimely death at the age of 43. After college, Candy became a member of the famed Second City Comedy Troupe. The success of Second City TV propelled John to Hollywood during the height of its "Canadian Invasion." Films like The Blues Brothers and Stripes catapulted him to fame thanks to his large, lovable persona. His bright career was cut short in 1994 when, while filming on location in Mexico, Candy died from a massive heart attack. Today, he is still universally loved and remembered fondly thanks to his buffoonish jokes, infectious smile, and side-splitting impersonations.
