hang in there bro, even though you are a constant source of irritation to the good Lord, he loves ya and he's pulling for you too, I'm a fellow alcoholic too, but, amazingly, through divine intervention and grim determination, I was able to turn my situation around
@WALTERBROADDUS its called, the hollywood vultures school of acting where if you have the looks they will just give you rolls, you dont have to audtition, but if you party drink, do drugs, sleep around, they will just keep giving you rolls and telling you eabutiful you look until of course , you go over the edge of sanity, but they WILL make money off of you.
I don't care WHAT sin or flaw one is fighting, EVERY ONE falls down and has to get up. I respect this man for continuing to fight to stay sober, and I pray he has the best of success in the future. My prayers are with him and all of his family. God bless them. I also wish him professional success as well.
He's an old man ... nothing to do with the devil's water or the devil's weed ... the guy is almost 70 ... time to retire from 'old-age-hating' Hollywood!
God bless Jan Michael Vincent. He is a great actor. Alcohol and other drugs have messed up a lot of people, but a lot of people have overcome the problem, too. Here's hoping that Jan Michael triumphs over addiction.
This is sad to watch for me and I've seen enough. I pray he goes on a spiritual pilgrimage to find his inner self and come to terms with his demons. That's the only way I know that would help him overcome his drinking addiction.
Man this is sad :( I used to watch his shows and movies. I had no idea he wound up like this :(
It looks like he's got a family who loves and cares for him though. Sometimes that's all there is left in life. I also hope he's doing better today :)
Man, talk about a fall from grace. Jan had it all, and he coked and drank it down the drain. I don't know how old this clip is, but I hope he stays both clean and sober.
People can change, sometimes it takes a event that affects the heart to turn you around. I should know, Back in 1985 I messed up. In the end I lost the first gal I ever truely loved. For the first time I hurt myself too. It was then I promised myself to not ever end up like that again, and to this day I haven't. He just has to know that people care. I have always been a fan of JMV. My best goes out to him. I am one fan you will never lose, I understand more then you know.
@xtremepayne True that brother I can relate with that..I have lost things for stupid reasons..and I didn't care. It's not when I got older I look back and say I shouldn't have done that. A good actor. Still brings back memories growing watching Airwolf and I would jump up and down when the intro came.
@CanineFaeces (Warning this is a translation with foul language for equalization purposes only): Now to the poster :You are the kind of spirit that needs to get the fuck out of his hair and ours! Your blabbering is just another curse poured out upon the masses! You are an empty soul, a pawn of a cursor and you have no power over yourself. Wait, for someone to have compassion on you. You obviously cry out for help. Someone will hear you too and help you. In the meantime keep quiet!
@ekocentric, yea its sad how these idiots try to make themselves look better by asking the actor a stupid ass question. JMV gets a little down on his luck and the idiot thinks it open season. I'd like to get he and his family on camera and start asking about their sex life just to see him squirm! I'd like to see JMV get back into acting. He's still beloved by many!
Hollywood does not give a shit about him! They just pretend, so they can feel good about them self, when they go to sleep at night. The live by the code "What can you do for me, today"
I hope he gets set free from his addiction to alcohol. like most people your not a drug addict, cause you do drugs. they do it cause its in the heart.
The guy had a car wreck an almost killed him, and broke his neck. I would be thanking God, I could walk and talk! even if its sounds strange. still a good actor
@txredneckcop Have you noticed that the members of the press practice their rights to go through movie stars trash (which is considered public property), they can hide outside those people's homes and photograph the actor's friends and family? Have you ever seen any of their family members or friends?
I only really saw this guy in "Big Wednesday". I loved the film, and Jan Michael was inspiring. We all fall over, in our own ways and in our own time. God Bless you Jan.
This must have been a while ago. Today you can`t even understand him when he talks and seems to have no memory at all, like someone who had a massive stroke.
you still are my most favorite actor...come what may you'll forever stay in my heart & that ur one of hollywoods greatest actors ever ,.,,do take care ...we are still here loving you!!!!!
i think he looks pretty good. he looks younger than he did about 3-4 years ago. this guy was one of my heros when i was growing up and watching airwolf. i wish you well jan. take it one day at a time brother.
@adamh0075 I agree ..... he is looking better and better, and your advice is so true.....take it one day at a time. I am sure he has worked very hard to pull himself back up. God be with you, Jan.
As an actor in Hollywood now, it pains me to watch these interviews but is such a good lesson to learn in all of our lives. As a leading man there comes a "stereotype" of what and how you should conduct yourself early in your career. Babes, boos, and brawls so to speak. The reality is no one wants to have that kind of life. I pray that he continues to seek sobriety and happiness in his life.
Choose the road less traveled and you just might catch your star.
fortunately for me....the experiences in my youth with booze and "the other stuff" was so bad that I learned my lesson well.....it just isnt worth the puking or the paranoia
I would LOVE to hear Charles Bronson stories. He never mentions him in any interviews that I have seen. Not that I have seen them all. I just wonder how well they got on behind the scenes or was it all just work.
I loved "The Mechanic". They just don't make actors like Bronson, Karl Malden, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman (who else?) anymore. RIP and thanks for the memories.
i'd love to hear some of his Mitchum and John Wayne stories, some Ernie Borgnine anecdotes, I remember going to see The Baby Blue marine at the theater one afternoon when I was a kid, I loved, still love The mechanic, great movie
when was this? this may have been from 10 years ago or so because I heard that ricky martin song in the backround and that was played a lot in 98'-99'.
Oh please, he is an old man now. How can people compare him to the way he was in the 70s? He's in his 60s now. I'd like to see how all of you will look in your 60s or if you even make it to that age. In the Insider interview he was 64. He did'nt look great but there are lots of non-drinkers that look much worse at that age.
We all have our failings in life. We shouldnt judge people that we dont know. We only hear things from the media, like this interview, the media has alot to do with people falling from Grace and not just famous people either.
Career? Wouldn't it be nice if the poor guy could straighten out himself and be happy? You sound selfish, Why do you think he gives a fuck about his career? His LIFE is in jeopardy.
alcohol takes away your life,fades your love of life,i feel for the rich and the poor.if any young one was to listen to me i would say....dont EVER let it touch your lips....its a lie that thirst for your soul,,do not believe anything it trys to tell you.please dont
Back then a lot of actors were usually blackballed and could not find work (Lauren Tewes lost her job on Love Boat because of cocaine addiction). It is strange that it is more accepted today (Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr., Lindsay Lohan etc.) These people have been in trouble with the law more than once and they keep coming back.
What about Mickey Rourke? Mickey's big break comeback was "Sin City" and other movies. Last year he did "The Wrestler" which the critics praised.
they keep comming back because of the two faced society we live in.nobody really cares about REAL life´s!people, MANY people only care about fancy SHIT!just take a look where some people´s channel´s end.i´ve seen many womens here (just an example) which started with normal video´s and once they reached a TON of views, they turned into fancy and superficial sluts!but LUCKYLY we still have good people in this world.
Why the name calling? Lets be mature and respect all views. The American Medical Assoscaiton said addiction a disease in 1956; insurance companies agree.
I don't feel one bit sorry for this guy. He had what many people can only dream of. He was one of the very luck few in our society who became a star and he had it all. A great job, money, a good family and he chose to throw it down the tubes over booze. Maybe if he wan't coddled from the beginning and told that he had a "disease" he may have pulled himself together. What a total waste, what a loser.
I completely hate how fickle people can be. When an actor is making them money, they are completely on bored with him but as soon as he has a problem, they don`t want to know. Shame on them!
Yes my friend Jan Micheal Vincent was great in "The Mechanic" he was a 27 year old cocky kid then . Had the loooks the money and the talent. What happened?
you might aswell put plumbers or builders on a pedestal as actors. is he supposed to be the "airwolf guy" to please everybody? he suffered 2 car accidents & has a problem with drugs, how do you expect him to be? he's no worse than the next alcoholic.
What ignorance-the commentator said he"threw it all away." Oh yes he woke up one morning and said I think I will ruin my career and my life--fun fun fun. ALcoholsim is a progressive chronic life threatening DISEASE.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Spintation, that is exactly what he did. (If you think alcoholism is a disease you are a total brain-washed idiot. No the guy is a loser and threw it down the tubes so he could stay drunk and it is people like you who make it worse by telling people like Vincent that he has a disease. No he has no disease, he chose the easy rode of being drunk rather then dealing with the problems of every day life because he is a coward and a loser.
Fuck these cocksucker bloodsucking interviewers, leave the guy alone, they're only trying to make a buck on this man. He is a human being with real life problems.
At least he was honest when he said he was hanging on by white knuckles. Couldn't have been long after this interview he fell off the wagon again. The saddest story in recent Hollywood-history, what a tragedy :/
I was actually watching an episode of "The Banana Splits" (with JMV in his "Danger ISland" role) in the background when I was clicking this link. I know it's been a fourty year time span, but.......whoah!
sad...he reminds me of my alcoholic grandpa -- same gaunt face with shriveled up nose and broken capillaries, same ghost eyes and raspy voice. alcohol is like a slow death, it really is.
I know Jan's messed himself up big time, but you gotta admit - this guy is a survivor!! He's still around, he's still alive, and he's still kicking!!! Better a survivor than being dead - look at at Heath Ledger! I wish Jan all the best....
I fell so sad for jan i used to love airwolf,i've just watched an episode on tv and wondered what he was doing,i hope he can sort his life out,and enjoy the rest of his life and his family
Jan could be the star he once was. He looks totally awesome in this interview.
Jan is an excellent actor, kissed by the gods, so to speak. A pleasure to watch.
Jan portrayed "Stringfellow Hawke" on Airwolf and inspired us all to be heroes who love America.
The guy doing the interview is a nothing who can never ever come close to Jan. The interview was mean spirited and poorly done. He didn't know what questions to ask Jan.
Jan be the star he once was? Absolutely no way. This interview is pretty old. Search for Jan on The Insider. It's a 2007 interview. Jan, while denying just how bad off he is in terms of health, is on the verge of death at this point.
On the verge of death? Not hardly. The guy is 63 for pete's sake. That doesn't make him on the verge of death, and he didn't sound it. His attitude didn't seem it either.
Sure, I enjoy knowing that there are so many JMV fans out there, just like me. At first, a few years ago I thought I was alone in this but soon enough I found out I'm soooooooo not alone.
hang in there bro, even though you are a constant source of irritation to the good Lord, he loves ya and he's pulling for you too, I'm a fellow alcoholic too, but, amazingly, through divine intervention and grim determination, I was able to turn my situation around

When did this 20/20 air?

Did he ever go back to drinking after this interview, and is he drinking now?

Unfortunately, his 2007 interview on INSIDER is 100 times worse than this one. The poor guy is a wreck. It's on youtube too.

Yup. I just watched the 2007 one. With my fist in my mouth. OH MY GOD. Poor, poor guy.

It's very sad to see how alcohol has changed a once handsome leading man into a shaddow of his former self.
Rent a copy of "The Mechanic" with Jan opposite Charles Bronsom from the 70's, you'll see what I mean.
Best of luck to the man.

"the world at his feet"...what bullshit.
you might aswell put plumbers or builders on a pedestal as actors. is he supposed to be the "airwolf guy" to please everybody? he suffered 2 car accidents & has a problem with drugs, how do you expect him to be? he's no worse than the next alcoholic.
ringrangadongforahol 3 years ago
This is not sad, this is the story of a man who is fighting for his life right now.
This is the story of a man with problems with alcohol but I always will remember him like STRINGFELLOW HAWK.
God bless you Jan Michael Vincent

What ignorance-the commentator said he"threw it all away." Oh yes he woke up one morning and said I think I will ruin my career and my life--fun fun fun. ALcoholsim is a progressive chronic life threatening DISEASE.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Spintation, that is exactly what he did. (If you think alcoholism is a disease you are a total brain-washed idiot. No the guy is a loser and threw it down the tubes so he could stay drunk and it is people like you who make it worse by telling people like Vincent that he has a disease. No he has no disease, he chose the easy rode of being drunk rather then dealing with the problems of every day life because he is a coward and a loser.

Fuck these cocksucker bloodsucking interviewers, leave the guy alone, they're only trying to make a buck on this man. He is a human being with real life problems.

At least he was honest when he said he was hanging on by white knuckles. Couldn't have been long after this interview he fell off the wagon again. The saddest story in recent Hollywood-history, what a tragedy :/

sad...he reminds me of my alcoholic grandpa -- same gaunt face with shriveled up nose and broken capillaries, same ghost eyes and raspy voice. alcohol is like a slow death, it really is.

I know Jan's messed himself up big time, but you gotta admit - this guy is a survivor!! He's still around, he's still alive, and he's still kicking!!! Better a survivor than being dead - look at at Heath Ledger! I wish Jan all the best....

Jan could be the star he once was. He looks totally awesome in this interview.
Jan is an excellent actor, kissed by the gods, so to speak. A pleasure to watch.
Jan portrayed "Stringfellow Hawke" on Airwolf and inspired us all to be heroes who love America.
The guy doing the interview is a nothing who can never ever come close to Jan. The interview was mean spirited and poorly done. He didn't know what questions to ask Jan.
clarencecmcgee 4 years ago
Jan be the star he once was? Absolutely no way. This interview is pretty old. Search for Jan on The Insider. It's a 2007 interview. Jan, while denying just how bad off he is in terms of health, is on the verge of death at this point.
DJRedBarron 3 years ago
On the verge of death? it's not that bad but he has to stay on the straight and narrow his body isn't going to put up with too much more shit.
clarencecmcgee 3 years ago
On the verge of death? Not hardly. The guy is 63 for pete's sake. That doesn't make him on the verge of death, and he didn't sound it. His attitude didn't seem it either.
