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.
