Becoming an actor is a job that realistically most people can only dream about.

So to achieve success as an actor in Hollywood & land a role in a top TV show would be a huge opportunity for most .

Maybe even open doors that could lead to achieving long lasting fame & stardom.

One would think that would give you a great chance to have a successful, amazing life.

But sadly this is not always the case.

At least not for 28 year old American actor Johnny Lewis.

Because despite getting roles on popular American TV shows like ‘ The OC’ & cult favourite ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ Johnny’s life soon turned from fame & stardom to strange, erratic behaviour.

Which ultimately spiralled into a brutal murder ….

When 81 year old Catherine Davis was found savagely murdered in her home in 2012, police didn’t need to look far for her killer.

Because Johnny’s broken body was also found nearby, leaving those that knew him & of him asking many questions that remain unanswered to this day .

How could someone on the precipice of huge stardom suddenly change so drastically?

Could a head injury have played a part in his eventual downfall and grizzly fate..?

And most importantly could Catherine’s tragic murder have been prevented?

Today we take a deep dive into the glittering universe of Hollywood & fame, & into the darker side of that life that the public can’t always see.

Leading us into the compelling topic of head injuries that seems to be prevalent in many cases of killers, & the traumatic effects these injuries can have on one’s psyche.
