Actor Caught Using Fake Penis
ACTOR Tom Sizemore had been jailed for violating his probation after he was caught trying to use a prosthetic penis to fake drug test results, a Los Angeles County prosecutor said today.
Sizemore, 43, who played a battle-hardened sergeant in the war movie Saving Private Ryan, would remain behind bars until a hearing on February 24, unless he posted $US25,000 ($32,000) bail, Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney said. Last month, Judge Antonio Baretto agreed to allow Sizemore to travel to Cambodia to shoot a new film on condition that he passed a drug test every day prior to his departure.
Mr Carney said the actor's failed attempt to fake his drug test results came on the first day of the new requirement.
The actor is required to undergo random drug tests as a condition of probation for his convictions on separate charges of methamphetamine possession and beating his ex-girlfriend, former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss.
During the latest proceedings, prosecutors told Judge Baretto that Sizemore had failed three drug tests in three days, the first after he was caught using a fake penis sewn into his boxer shorts and filled with a clean urine sample kept warm by a heating pack.
Mr Carney said the ruse was revealed when the temperature of the sample proved too cool to have come from Sizemore's body, and he was asked to remove his pants.
According to prosecutors, Sizemore had been caught once before trying to use a similar device, sold over the internet under the brand name the Whizzinator, and had failed drug tests on at least five occasions.
Mr Carney said two drug tests on the days following the fake penis incident showed Sizemore had methamphetamine in his system.
During 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, Mr Carney said.
But Judge Baretto told Sizemore that his drug use was "out of control", adding: "I had hoped and wanted to see a positive performance."
But nobody listens to me anyway. I'm just a disabled guy living in The Peoples' Republic of Oregon. Oh, well . . . whatever.
Isn't this guy also known for beat the crap out of his girlfriend. Sounds like a real winner.
Amazing the lengths an addict will go to.
Wonder if it has a money back guarantee?

Oh, give me a break.
Mr. Sizemore ought to give his money to tsunami relief and beat himself to death with his Whizzinator.
Caution...don't go past the front page. There's a warning on the front page of the website.
I can't help but comment on the name of the actor and the title of this article.
Arthur C. Chambers might be interested.
I don't think that he's located in L.A, but he's somewhere around that area.
FYI.. I left Oregon and moved to Texas.. The world is still in balance.
Labyrinthos -- Yeah, I was gonna do that, too.
Is he the inspiration for that song "Detachable Penis" by King Missile?
Truly a shame. I hope he gets his act together.
From the site that sells this Wizzinator gadget:
I don't know why, but there are two posts on the subject of male appendages on FR. (and why did I find both of them?) Take a look at this:

Wonder if this actor buys the same brand ketchup?
I'm just guessing but you must have looked them up under the "P Word." Right . . ?
I agree, he is a good actor. He was very good in "Heat".
It's called, "Operation Fake Urine Sample" or OFUS.
I don't know what is stupider, Using a fake penis or dating Heidi Fleiss.
