Jake Lloyd, the actor who portrayed Anakin Skywalker in the much maligned first installment of the Star Wars prequels, has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Lloyd was serving jail time and has been moved to a psychiatric care facility. [joe.co.uk]

Lloyd was also in Jingle All the Way, with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I know it's popular to trash the prequels, particularly The Phantom Menace, but hopefully nobody blames Lloyd for that, seeing as how he was 10 at the time. I hope his treatment works out well for him and that he can have a bright future.
