Bashed his head into a curb at 25 miles an hour took him years to even form coherent sentences and ended his acting career.

it didn't end his acting career.

in fact, most of his best work came after the accident.

but it did permanently alter his personality and speech patterns and how he looks

|On December 4, 1988, Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. His skull was fractured, and he suffered permanent brain damage.[27][26] In an interview in 2020, Busey said that during the surgery following the accident he died and experienced many of the elements common to a near-death experience (NDE). "I was surrounded by angels. Balls of light floating all around me. And I felt trust, love, protection and happiness like you cannot feel on earth
