Heroin addiction doesn't change its ugly face, no matter the decade. Joseph Campanella should have gotten an Emmy or Golden Globe nomination at least, if not the trophy.
Plays Ironsides' friend who has found solace from his demons in the haze of heroin. Except the high times ended long ago and now he's caught in the ugly jaws of having to have a fix to function normally.
Unfortunate for him, his dealer isn't that sympathetic, leaving Harry hanging when the Chief shows up for a weekend visit with his old friend.
Campanella, really could chewed the scenery here, since his whole part is a man spiraling into withdrawals, but he keeps it on the right side of the line. Well worth watching. There's a reason it has such a high average score, here on IMDb.
