LOS ANGELES, Calif. (June 20, 2007) — “Saving Private Ryan” actor Tom Sizemore asked a judge for another chance Tuesday after acknowledging that he violated his parole in a drug case.
“If you would please just give me one more chance for myself,” Sizemore tearfully asked Judge Cynthia Rayvis in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
He asked to be placed back on probation.
“I can guarantee that I will give it everything that’s good about me,” Sizemore said.
The judge scheduled a hearing Monday to decide punishment. However, she suggested that Sizemore, 45, has shown he “cannot successfully sustain or complete” probation.
Prosecutors want him to serve out 16 months in state prison — the sentence imposed after he pleaded no contest to possessing methamphetamines in February 2006. The sentence was suspended and he was given three years of probation.
Sizemore was arrested last month at a Bakersfield hotel. Authorities said they found methamphetamine in his car. He has been in jail without bail since June 5 and has pleaded not guilty to seven drug-related charges, including transportation and possession of methamphetamines, possession of prescription drugs without the proper prescription and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
He faces up to six years in prison if convicted.
