IIRC
He was on Banana Splits kid show sat. mornings
early on in his career too, part of or before or after
I think it was 'danger island' late 60's maybe
I do remember him in a lot of TV stuff
I never knew about the amputated leg...
Or his "alleged" cocaine/drug abuse
I always though he was the "clean cut guy" persona...
Had a really good PR guy I guess
Disney clean cut type dude
- was in the "Worlds Greatest Athlete"- movie etc.
He was always in great shape, cut & thin
not that he couldn't have been just like most the rest
of the Hollyweird Losers Druggies Trippin' Douchebags of that era...
RIP Jan,
73 isn't that old

Led a hard life, I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. One of the great 'tough guy' actors..

I remember seeing White Line Fever back in the day. The local International Harvester place had the Blue Mule on display. The dude has been in rough shape for the past few years. Had a leg amputated, That **** would take the wind out of your sails. May he rest in peace.

I remember seeing him in "Hooper" in the theater when I was young. That was a cool Burt Reynolds movie...

What a mess. Perhaps having a girl's first name is what ruined him.....
Vincent was born in Denver, Colorado, the son of Doris Jane (Pace) and Lloyd Whiteley Vincent.[7]
Vincent married Bonnie Poorman in 1968 and they had a daughter, Amber Vincent, in 1972.[8][9] Their divorce was finalized on January 2, 1977. His second wife, Joanne Robinson, left him and had a restraining order entered against him in 1998, alleging that he had abused her since their marriage in 1986.[10]
Vincent battled alcoholism and intravenous drug use for much of his life. In 1977, 1978 and 1979 he was arrested for possession of cocaine and in 1984 and 1985 he was arrested after two bar brawls.[11] He also received a felony assault charge in 1986, of which he was acquitted, after his attorney argued that the woman tripped and fell on a telephone cord in his home.[11] He then was arrested for drunk driving but avoided jail by entering rehab in 1988. In 2000 a $374,000 default judgment was made against him after his former girlfriend alleged he had physically assaulted her after their breakup and caused her to miscarry their child.[12]
During the 1990s, he was involved in three severe automobile collisions, which he barely survived. In an accident in August 1996 Vincent broke three vertebrae in his neck.[13] He also sustained a permanent injury to his vocal cords from an emergency medical procedure, leaving him with a permanently raspy voice. The first near fatal accident occurred in February 1992 and the third happened in September 1997. [14]
Vincent was charged with drunk driving again after his 1996 accident and once again sentenced to rehab and placed on probation. In an interview on the TV program The Insider on September 18, 2007, when asked about his 1996 car accident, he answered, "Y'know, I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't remember being in an accident."[3][15]
In 2000 Vincent violated probation for his prior alcohol-related arrests by appearing drunk in public three times and assaulting his fiancée. As a result, he was sentenced to 60 days in the Orange County Jail.[16]
Vincent was involved in another automobile accident in 2008.[17]
In an interview that took place on October 24, 2014, with National Enquirer, Vincent revealed that his right leg was amputated just below the knee in 2012 after he contracted a leg infection as a result of complications from peripheral artery disease. After that he walked with a prosthetic limb, although he was sometimes forced to use a wheelchair.[18] He also revealed he had a tax debt in excess of $70,000.[19]
