Edward Furlong Wiki Biography

Edward Walter Furlong was born on the 2nd August 1977 in Glendale, California USA, of Mexican descent on his mother`s side. He is an actor, probably still best known for his appearance as John Connor in the blockbuster film “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” in 1991, alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. That particular role earned him MTV and Saturn Awards for the Best Performance by a Young Actor and Best Breakthrough Performance. His career in the entertainment industry has been active since 1991.

Have you ever wondered how rich Edward Furlong is? According to sources, it is estimated that Edward Furlong`s total net worth is $100,000. However, this amount was even higher, but due to the problems he later had with drug and alcohol abuse, his wealth has plummeted over the years. In addition to his involvement in the entertainment industry, Furlong also released an album in 1992.

Edward had a difficult childhood, never finding out who his biological father was. “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” was his entry into the film industry, and this successful film enabled Edward to continue his career, and become a star, as he earned a Saturn and MTV Awards for the Breakthrough Performance. He used the stardom to gain a role in another blockbuster film “American Heart” in 1992, following the success of which Edward was nominated for the Best Supporting Male Actor award by the Independent Spirit Awards. In 1992, he also appeared in the film “Pet Cemetery 2”. All these roles positively affected his total net worth and fame, as he became a regular in main casts of the films through the 1990s. His other notable roles include the “Pecker” (1998), “American History X” 1998 and “Detroit Rock City”.

Unfortunately, since the beginning of the 2000s, his career has been in a constant downward spiral, as his problems with the law increased. Edward only managed to acquire a few supporting roles in B category films, and a part-time role in the TV series “CSI: NY”. However, in 2003, he was cast as a lead in the Crow film series, “The Crow: Wicked Prayer”, alongside Tara Ried. In 2011, he appeared in the film “Green Hornet” and in 2014 earned a role in the film “Winter Rose”.

Regarding his personal life, it has been full of controversies ever since he entered the film industry. In 1992, he was dating the 14 years-older Jacqueline Domac, who later became his manager. For several years they lived together, until 1999 when they split up, and Domac sued him for 15% of his overall earnings. Following the end of the relationship, Edward got himself into the troubles with drugs and alcohol. Over the next few years his acting career suffered greatly, as he spent time in and out of rehab facilities from 2000 to 2005. In 2006, he married Rachael Bella, with whom he has a son, before the couple divorced in 2009, with Furlong being arrested for domestic violence, as he had allegedly hit his wife, which saw him hit with a restraining order, and eventually ending-up paying for child support.

His troubles with the law intensified in the next few years, as he has spent 61 days in jail due to his drug and anger problems. In 2013, he was also arrested for domestic violence, as he had allegedly hit Monica Keena, who was his girlfriend at the time.

Quote
1 A lot of things that you lose you just can’t help – your naiveness and all that.
2 When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, oh yeah, I’ll get girls and be famous.
3 Jim Cameron used to call me ‘Special Ed.’
4 By the time I’m old, I’m sure I’ll have lived a full enough life. I think we’re mortal for a reason. Life gets tiring, man!
5 People aren’t born racist.
6 I’ve always wanted to do a movie that takes place in the 70’s and was about rock and roll and getting high, like Dazed and Confused (1993) or Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982).
7 I had a hard time going back to school after T2. I really didn’t want to go to private school.
8 It hasn’t been a totally smooth road, but in the whole span of things I feel like a very lucky person.
9 I know a lot of people my age are still trying to figure out what to do, and I consider myself lucky that I can make a living doing something that I truly enjoy.
10 Detroit was kind of a random thing where it was like a chance to be in a rock ‘n’ roll movie.
11 If I was in a room with a bunch of skinheads talking about racism, then I would be disturbed, but after we finished a take, we were normal people again.
12 I don’t think anyone has a normal family.
13 Little Odessa (1994). Of all my movies, it’s the one that I still really love when I watch it and I’m pretty happy with what I did in that.
14 Who wants to go to school and be asked for, like, 20 autographs?
15 Being famous kind of makes you feel like a freak. And you are, in a way.
16 When [newspapers and magazines] talk about me, it has nothing to do with my career, so I’m like, whatever. Fans are what matters. Fans I like. Those are the people that go to the movies, pay for the tickets and get me the parts.
17 [1996, on his level of fame] No gun, no bodyguard, cause that would probably freak me out. It’s really not that big yet, my fame. Hopefully it will be that big one day.
18 [1996, Movieline Magazine] I am very, very competitive and ambitious. I would definitely fight hard for a role I believed in. But I will never kiss anybody’s ass. No way, man, I would say to Quentin Tarantino, ‘Hey, man, pretty awesome’, but I wouldn’t be like ‘Hey, man, let me do one of your movies’, even if to do one of his movies would be totally trippy.
19 [on filming The Grass Harp (1995)] Definitely a troubled shoot. I’m kind of judgemental because I read the book and that was so beautifully written, I really don’t know too much about the trouble, except that the director wasn’t really getting along with the studio. They just didn’t click. It was a weird shoot.
20 [1996, on landing Before and After (1996)] Barbet (Schroeder) and I met two years ago in an office, and, at the time, he was seeing everybody. It was the role, out of all the scripts I have read, that I really wanted the most. It was almost like such a great part that you don’t even have to act to look great on film. Two years later, I got a call from my agent that the movie was on again and that Barbet wanted me and that was that.
21 (1996, Movieline Magazine) If the career doesn’t work out, I’ll definitely go to college and try another line of work. If that doesn’t pan out, I can always go shoot up and be a rock star.
22 I’ve always liked women. But I don’t want somebody who likes me because I’m famous. I like girls who are intelligent and who are kind of quiet like me.
23 I never thought I’d reach 21. I used to feel that was old, but growing old doesn’t scare me anymore. I just want to have done something super special and have had someone to do it with.
24 I enjoy playing people that are totally different than me. It’s a challenge to get inside these people’s heads and wonder why they would have these beliefs.
