Personal Life
Beginning during his career on Airwolf and continuing through the mid 2000s, Vincent battled alcoholism. In 2000, after violating probation for prior alcohol-related arrests by appearing drunk in public three times and assaulting his then-girlfriend, he was sentenced to 60 days in Orange County Jail.
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." He then discussed being an alcoholic and admitted alcohol had robbed him of his career and memories.
Vincent has a daughter, Amber Vincent, from his marriage to first wife Bonnie Poorman.
As of 2008, Vincent resides in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Devout believers are safeguarded in a high degree against the risk of certain neurotic illnesses; their acceptance of the universal neurosis spares them the task of constructing a personal one.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education, feel a politely disguised contempt for it; and thus the study of one of the most pervasive and powerful influences on human life is traduced and neglected.”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
