Who the Hell's Todd Sizemore?

With all the hoopla surrounding celebrities and the law, I saw this particular article on Yahoo! and the first thing I thought to myself was, "Who the hell is Tom Sizemore?"

I've heard the name, but I couldn't tell you where, when, or what it was in regards to. Then I read the article and realized that it was more than likely in regards to his legal record, because Saving Private Ryan came out many, many years ago and I don't remember him from that. The article doesn't mention anything else he's been in that I would have seen and, though he looks vaguely familiar, I couldn't place him.

Even if his recent fame came from some actual acting ability, this is the whole reason people like Paris Hilton think they are being singled-out to be made examples of: it says that Sizemore missed eight - 8, eight - drug tests and tried to cheat on a urine test from a 2005 arrest involving crystal meth. It then says that he was caught again with crystal meth, Vicodin, and about three - 3, three - other drugs about two - 2, two (sorry, that was... just ignore that) - weeks ago after getting into a fight with some hotelier.

Now, if this had been you, me, or especially Paris Hilton, we'd have been in jail the first time we missed our probation. We'd have gotten additional charges for trying to cheat a urine test. We'd have racked-up more charges for assaulting a hotelier. We'd have had our name and face splashed all over every yellow rag out there.

So, I ask again: "Who the hell is Tom Sizemore?"
