According to his account, he became an alcoholic after he lost the role of Woody Boyd to Woody Harrelson in the sitcom Cheers.

Charlie Russell, who studied bears and raised them and lived with them in Kamchatka, Russia for a decade, and who worked with Treadwell, wrote a lengthy response in which he criticized Treadwell's lack of basic safety precautions such as pepper spray and electric fences, as well as Werner Herzog's portrayal of Treadwell in his documentary Grizzly Man, which Russell said was inaccurate.

In 2005, director Werner Herzog made Grizzly Man, a documentary about Treadwell's work with wildlife in Alaska.

The film was to be scripted by Ned Zeman, based on his Vanity Fair article, and DiCaprio was expected to play the role of Treadwell.
