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.
