He was discovered for the part by casting director Mali Finn while visiting the Pasadena Boys and Girls Club in September 1990. He followed this role with a string of moderately successful high - profile films and indies, sharing the screen with Meryl Streep and Liam Neeson in Before and After ; Tim Roth, Maximilian Schell, and Vanessa Redgrave in Little Odessa ; Jeff Bridges in American Heart ; and Anthony Edwards and Clancy Brown in Pet Sematary Two.

In 1998, he starred in American History X alongside Edward Norton and appeared in his first comedy role in Pecker, directed by John Waters. Of his title role in Pecker, Furlong stated, `` It 's true most of the characters that I 've played so far are kind of like suicidal. Really dark roles, which I like. But I wanted to do something different and John gave me a chance to do that. '' In 1998, he starred in the film Detroit Rock City. During filming he met Natasha Lyonne, whom he then dated. Furlong played a young convict in Steve Buscemi 's film Animal Factory, filmed in 1999. 2000s Furlong 's career and stardom declined considerably after 2000, with most of his subsequent films being released straight to DVD. In 2001 he took a role in I Cavalieri che fecero l'impresa aka The Knights of the Quest, a little - seen film by Italian filmmaker Pupi Avati. Furlong was expected to play John Connor again in Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines. However, Nick Stahl was cast just before filming began in April 2002.

The film was planned for a theatrical release, but upon release was widely panned by critics and audiences and after one week in limited theatres, it was released to DVD in 2005. In 2006 and again in 2010, Furlong appeared in five episodes of the television program CSI : NY as character Shane Casey.

Personal life Starting when he was 13 and she 26, Edward Furlong and his former tutor, Jacqueline Domac, began a relationship that lasted for several years. When California 's statutory rape law changed in 1994 to allow the prosecution of adult women who have sex with minors, Furlong 's guardian Sean Furlong filed a complaint against Domac, but was unsuccessful in having her prosecuted. In May 1999, Domac sued Furlong for violence. Furlong married Rachael Bella on April 19, 2006. The couple 's son was born in September 2006. On July 8, 2009, Rachael Bella filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. She alleged in court documents that their baby son tested positive for cocaine, which led a judge to rule Furlong 's visits had to be supervised. Substance abuse and legal problems Furlong has battled alcoholism and drug addiction, which derailed his career. He went into rehab in October 2000. Furlong said in December 2006 that from 22 to 26 he was `` on and off '' hard drugs, adding that, `` I was a heroin and cocaine addict. It was really scary. '' In the same interview, he said, `` I do n't even think about ( partying ) anymore. It seems lonely now : running and clubbing and doing coke. I have nightmares about doing hard drugs. I 'll wake up and I 'm like, ' Did I relapse ? ' '' In 2010, Furlong was placed on three years ' probation for violation of a civil protective order obtained by Rachael Bella. In March 2013 Furlong was sentenced to 180 days in jail for a violation of probation after he `` used force '' against ex-girlfriend Monica Keena, and for violation of a protective order prohibiting contact with Keena. Furlong was arrested again in May 2013 and avoided a jail sentence after agreeing to go to rehab for drug addiction for 90 days, and to undergo 52 weeks of domestic violence counselling. He had already served 61 days in jail.
