Geoff:
Yes. I did say "perceived, rightly or wrongly". I must admit that I don't 
recognise all the names on your list but certainly Elijah Wood comes to 
mind as someone not unlike Dan - comparisons have actually been 
drawn in the past.

I think that where there is discussion about young actors who have 
gone off the rails, there are less names which spring to mind over 
here in the UK.
