LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Actor Tom Sizemore has been jailed for violating his probation by failing a drug test after he was caught trying to use a prosthetic penis to fake the results, a Los Angeles County prosecutor said on Friday.

Sizemore, 43, who played a battle-hardened sergeant in the war movie “Saving Private Ryan,” was placed in custody on Thursday. He was ordered to remain behind bars until a hearing on Feb. 24, unless he posts $25,000 bond, Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney said. . .

[D]uring the hearing, Sizemore’s lawyer told the court that his client was destitute, living in a garage in Whittier, California, and that he was an expectant father, Carney told Reuters.

But [Judge] Baretto told Sizemore that his drug use was “out of control,” adding, “I had hoped and wanted to see a positive performance.”
