Actor Tom Sizemore, best known for battle-hardened film roles in and , has today been sentenced to 16 months in prison for violating his probation in a drug possession case. But the 45-year-old performer must return to court tomorrow for a hearing on whether he will receive credit for the time he has spent in residential drug treatment facilities. The actor admitted in court last week to violating his probation on a previous felony drug conviction and tearfully pleaded with the Los Angeles Superior Court judge for leniency, begging her: "If you would please just give me one more chance for myself.
" Sizemore was on three years probation when he was arrested May 8 outside a California hotel on suspicion of methamphetamine possession. The actor's probation for a previous methamphetamine possession conviction was revoked in 2005 when he admitted to using a prosthetic penis in a bid to fake a urine test. But he checked into a psychiatric hospital for treatment of chronic depression and drug dependency, which a doctor said he has battled for years, and a judge later reinstated his probation.
