The Black Hawk Down star was released early from a 16-month prison sentence in December.

He was incarcerated for eight months after violating his probation in relation to a 2004 methamphetamine conviction.

And Csi: Miami regular David Caruso, who fought to land Sizemore a role on his drama, says, "He brings so much to a situation like this and he reaches deeper and deeper... We're glad to have him back."

Sizemore adds, "It was David in the end that made this work, especially in light of where I'd been."

Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss is joining the cast of next season's U.S. TV show Celebrity Rehab - and she is looking to get clean and find love.

The 42-year-old is seeking treatment for her dependency to crystal methamphetamines and prescription painkiller Vicodin, but she admits she's hoping to hook up with a hunky male celebrity addict.

Fleiss - whose former lovers include actor Tom Sizemore - says, "In rehab, everyone falls in love. I'm going there to find the love of my life."

The VH1 series is hosted by TV personality and addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky and first premiered earlier this year.

Stars seeking sobriety on the show include Daniel Baldwin, former Grease star Jeff Conaway and wrestling wonder Chyna.

Actor Tom Sizemore is set to clean up his act by playing a metrosexual caterer in his first romantic comedy action film.

The tough guy star of films like Blackhawk Down and Saving Private Ryan signed up as the male lead in former fighting champion Mimi Lesseos' new film Double Duty in an effort to revitalise his acting career after a stint behind bars.

Sizemore was released early from a 16-month prison sentence in December. He was incarcerated for eight months after violating his probation in relation to a 2004 methamphetamine conviction.

The prison spell came at an end of a lengthy legal battle for the actor, which began when former girlfriend Heidi Fleiss accused him of striking her during a domestic dispute.

Lesseos insists she had no hesitation in signing Sizemore up for his first post-jail feature and admits the actor is a joy to work with.

She says, "His agent approached us and said if he played another bad-ass character people just wouldn't give him a second chance. He wanted something soft and light-hearted.

"People will love watching him as this lovely, good-looking, clean-smelling guy with clean fingernails. His character, Craig, really takes good care of himself. He's almost too clean-cut, which adds to the comedy."

In the movie, which also stars Karen Black and Morgan Freeman's son Alphonso Freeman, Sizemore plays the love interest of a hardcore Marine who becomes the ultimate female after she's accidentally hypnotised.

Lesseos, who was Hilary Swank's boxing body double in Million Dollar Baby, stars as the object of Sizemore's affection.

The former wrestling and full-contact fighting champion, a.k.a. Magnificent Mimi, also wrote the screenplay and produces the film.

Fallen star Tom Sizemore is hoping to stage a major comeback after battling a series of legal and drug problems - with a new TV drama.

The Black Hawk Down star has been offered the chance to bounce back after a career-threatening jail spell as the star of a groundbreaking new action/adventure internet and TV series called The Acquirer.

Sizemore will play a mysterious ex-cia agent opposite the show's director and star Matt Schulze, who plays a master thief.

The actor says, "I've been away from filming for a while now, and it feels great getting back in front of the cameras again.

"Matt is a powerful presence in this series, both in front of and behind the camera, and I am truly grateful that he has welcomed me to The Acquirer so openly.

"I plan on giving him, and my fans, the best I have to offer. I'm back, and I'm having a great time."

And Schulze says, "I am extremely happy to welcome Tom as a series regular on The Acquirer. He's a great talent who brings intensity and determination to every role he plays."

The first episode of the multi-media series, which airs in the U.S. later this month, was shot in Paris, France and the globe-trotting action drama is now heading for locations in San Francisco, California and Rome, Italy.

Sizemore was released early from a 16-month prison sentence in December. He was incarcerated for eight months after violating his probation in relation to a 2004 methamphetamine conviction.
