Though he did not state a reason for Tuesday's filing in Los Angeles, his manager said that it will provide Busey a "new and clear path" to personal and career success.

In early January, Busey, 67, appeared in an episode of ABC's Celebrity Wife Swap. He was on the second season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and the fourth season of Celebrity Apprentice, besides starring in the films Point Break and Lethal Weapon.
