Tom Sizemore’s 16-month prison sentence for violating probation in a drug case was dramatically reduced Tuesday.
Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis gave the actor 213 days of credit for time he has already spent in jail and two live-in drug programs, leaving him with about nine months in state prison.
Sizemore will likely serve about 4½ months of that, said Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney.
The 45-year-old actor, who has been in jail without bail since June 5, wasn’t in court Tuesday. An after-hours call to his lawyer, Fay Arfa, wasn’t immediately returned.
Sizemore, who has appeared in films such as “Saving Private Ryan” and “Black Hawk Down,” acknowledged during a court appearance on June 19 that he had violated his probation.
He faces up to six years in prison if convicted of all the charges.
