In a case of life imitating art, the actor who plays a steroid dealer in The Wrestler was busted for dealing steroids, the New York Daily News reports. Investigators had Scott Siegel under surveillance for steroid trafficking, and arrested him Wednesday night after a car chase that ended with Siegel smashing into five police cars. Authorities found 1,500 bottles of anabolic steroids and more than $100,000 in two homes.
