Not to disparage the intent or the sentiment....but Hayden was more dilletante than he appears. Money was always an issue with him, either acting to raise cash for his adventures or scamming a studio for a documentary he never made.

If you want a real "leave it all and live" kinda guy, read Joshua Slocum's "Sailing Alone Around the World". No hipster bs, no pontficating...just pretty much a man with nothing left to lose, who then goes and creates a life of adventure. And, in case ya dont know the story...he builds a pretty neat little sloop, too. Unassuming, wants to go somewhere... just goes and does it. Look him up.

As for Hayden, I loved him as an actor! "Purity of essence, Mandrake."
