What kind of order is this in?

Tom Sizemore?
Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago at Sep 15 13:02
Alphabetical, according to first name, mainly because I wanted Al Paco first.

Tom Sizemore will go up then.

How enlightening! Tim Allen though, sure you're not just trying to raise his 'cool street' status...?

Updated guys, Kelsey Grammer, Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Fry.

This list is great, but also makes me sick. 2 years prison become 45 days, 4 days prison become 80 minutes, theft and drug consumption costs a little community service and a fine. I wonder if Mr. Normalguy would have gotten away that easy...

Description

Some of these guys are legends, some of them are Andy Dick. Whoever they are though, they found themselves in trouble with the law.



This is a list of actors who have been arrested, convicted and or jailed for various crimes, ranging from DUI to murder.

Where I can, I have found a representative mug shot. Rap artists only appear on this list if they have had a movie career also.

N.B: The correct spelling of jail is in fact gaol.

Slang terms for Prison

Jail/Gaol
The Big House
The Stoney Lonesome
The Pen
The Cage
The Clink
Con College
Crowbar Hotel
The Joint
The Pokey
The Slammer
