More Sizemore Trouble?

Tom Sizemore had a hard time onscreen in Saving Private Ryan. He's having a harder time offscreen trying to save Tom Sizemore.

Sizemore appeared in a Los Angeles court Wednesday to ask permission to travel to Thailand to work on a movie. The judge didn't issue a ruling on the request but instead set a June 2 hearing to address some alleged misdeeds.

Next week's court date will determine whether the trouble-prone actor again violated the terms of his probation. This time, Sizemore is accused of moving to a new residence without notifying his probation officer.

By state law, convicted felons must provide the probation department with their new address if they move. But probation officials told Superior Court Judge Paula Mabrey that not only did Sizemore fail to do so, but he also had yet to check into a court-ordered drug-treatment program.

Sizemore's lawyer, Gary Meastas, tells E! Online that the alleged transgressions were merely a "miscommunication."

"The probation officer indicated that [Sizemore] had not reported since back in February or March, and that's absolutely not correct," the attorney added.

Meastas says his client had entered a treatment facility in the Los Angeles suburb of Tarzana as ordered by the judge. A mixup occurred, the lawyer says, because Sizemore had been in contact with an on-site probation officer, as opposed to one from the main office.

The attorney predicted the matter would be quickly resolved at the next hearing.

"I spoke with the Tarzana official, and he said the on-site probation officer was in contact with Mr. Sizemore. So, we then asked the court to put the matter over to today's date, but the next available date was June 2," says Meastas. "[At that time] we'll then provide the judge with information that will clear up this miscommunication."

The attorney also asserts that Sizemore had not violated the terms of his probation.

"He's in full compliance, all his tests have been clean, and he's doing great," adds Meastas.

The actor, known for tough-guy roles in films like Black Hawk Down and Pearl Harbor, pleaded guilty in October to felony possession of methamphetamine and was sentenced to a drug-treatment program. He made headlines again in February after flunking seven drug tests and even trying to fake one by using a prosthetic penis called the "Whizzinator" that concealed a clean supply of urine.

At a Mar. 24 hearing, Sizemore was ordered by Judge Mabrey to enroll in rehab by no later than Apr. 14 as part of Proposition 36, a California law aimed at rehabilitating serial drug users instead of locking them up.

That same day, Sizemore made a tearful plea for mercy before another judge, Antonio Baretto Jr. Baretto ruled that Sizemore could remain free--as long as he stayed out of trouble--pending an appeal of a 2003 conviction for hitting ex-gal-pal Heidi Fleiss.

Despite all his problems, Sizemore has still been able to find work. He recently wrapped a role on the indie film Fear Itself. He apparently needs the work--his drug habit and legal bills have left him destitute. He told the Los Angeles Times he recently had been living in a garage in Whittier, California.

However, Sizemore remains defiant about his situation. Last month, he gave an interview to Dateline NBC in which he lashed out at the prosecutor in the Fleiss case and then walked off the set when asked whether the tears he shed in court were just an act.
