Snipes owes millions

Wesley Snipes in the movie Blade.

Hollywood action star Wesley Snipes has been ordered to pay US$1.7 million ($2.38 million) in fees to the United Talent Agency which helped him land roles in four films, court documents reveal.

UTA filed a lawsuit against Snipes, the star of the Blade vampire film trilogy, in Los Angeles Superior Court last year.

Snipes, 45, faces a court case in Florida later this year on charges of fraudulently claiming tax refunds.
