A troubled youth who seemed to turn his life around until it all came crashing down, this Texas-born street tough became a thief at a young age. But the family pastor — Joe Simpson, father and manager to pop princesses Jessica and Ashlee — took him in and supposedly helped Garrison clean up his act. After high school, Garrison turned to acting, and in 2005 he signed on to
Prison Break as a young pickpocket, a role inspired by his own teenage years. Although his character was killed off in the second season, the up-and-comer had launched what seemed to be a promising career, until a fatal auto accident changed his life forever. On December 2, 2006, Garrison met three teenage fans and agreed to drive them to a party. Later that evening, a drunk and cocaine-addled Garrison crashed his SUV into a tree, killing one passenger and injuring the other two. The ex-
Prison Break star was suddenly facing the prospect of real-life jail time.
