Sizemore off drugs

Tom Sizemore

US actor Tom Sizemore says he is done with drugs.

"I'm not trading my whole life for some powder," the 45-year-old actor told the Bakersfield Californian in a jailhouse interview.

"God's trying to tell me he doesn't want me using drugs because every time I use them I get caught," Sizemore said.

Sizemore is serving time in Kern County for violating probation in a drug case. He was arrested in a Bakersfield hotel in May for methamphetamine found in his car. He will be released next month.

The actor was charged with seven drug-related counts, but pleaded no contest to a charge of transporting drugs for personal use. He was sentenced last Wednesday to treatment in a drug therapy programme.

Sizemore's films include Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down.
