Adam, I know you like to be on your feet, but you might want to sit down for this first story because I have some very, very bad news.

Actor Jan Michael Vincent.

The Arab Wolf television star who led a glamorous but troubled life has died.

He was 73.

The death certificate shows that Vincent died of cardiac arrest on February 10th.

It did.

And in North Carolina Hospital, no autopsy was performed.

It wasn't clear why it took a few weeks for his death to surface, but it did.

Now, remember, for those of you who aren't giant Jan Michael Vincent fans, and I can't imagine there's anyone here, he starred in such films as 1972's The Mechanic, 1978's Hooper, in which he played a stuntman opposite Burt Reynolds.

Right.

And his handsomeness earned him a spot on the cosmetic surgeon's 10 best noses list of the 70s.

Yeah.

However, things were not always rosy for Vincent.

Here's a quick highlight reel of some of his troubles.

He pled guilty in 1997 to drunk driving.

It left him with a broken neck.

He was sentenced to a rehab program.

He was charged in the 80s with barroom brawls.

In a separate case, he was acquitted in 1986 of hitting a woman.

Okay, we'll give him that one.
