1. He's really fucked himself up.

teenage girls dug him in the '70's especially after the TV movie 'Tribes' (I think that was the name).

'The Mechanic' was a good film. Never thought he was that good of an actor.

4. I admit

I was one of those teen-aged girls who loved him in the 70's. There was some movie where he was a truck driver. Something about the line in the road? Can't remember. He looks bad in that pic. What happened to him?

I was one of those teenage girls, too. ;-)

14. Wow. He has not aged well. But it sounds like he's abused himself.

http://www.weht.net/WEHT/Jan_Michael_Vincent.html

According to the "where are they now?" section:

"He's had his problems with drugs and alcohol, he was involved in a car accident in 1996 "resulting in a broken neck" (whose, I do not know), pleaded not guilty to DWI for that accident a year later. Spent 60 days in jail in 2000 for violating probation by being drunk in public. Arrested July, 2000 for battering his fiancee... "

We all make choices that go bad, but some are worse than others, I guess.
