Endgame Johnson 1 Episode. Paper Empire Damon Moore 6 Episodes. Blade: Trinity Blade II Blade The Big Hit Around the same time that Snipes filed a lawsuit against New Line Cinema and those involved in the production of Blade: Trinity , the actor also filed a lawsuit against the city of New York.

According to People , Snipes claimed that New York City had no jurisdiction to arrest him in the matter regarding an Indiana woman's claims that he fathered her child.

The woman, whom Snipes referred to as "mentally ill crack addict," allegedly made similar claims against other celebrities.

Snipes also claimed to have never met the woman, and the whole ordeal was detrimental to his reputation—with even Saturday Night Live having fun with the story.

The paternity case against Snipes was ultimately dismissed when a DNA test proved another man to be the child's father.

Snipes responded by stating outside the courtroom, "The good Lord says 'Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. The prosecution blamed Snipes for following the advice of both his accountant and another firm anti-tax proponent.

Snipes, who had already paid millions of dollars in taxes, was sentenced to three years in Pennsylvania's McKean Federal Correctional Institution, before being transferred to the New York Community Corrections Office for home confinement.

With the IRS breathing down his neck and big-time movie projects looking slimmer by the day, Snipes' people tried to arrange a celebrity fight between the actor and Joe Rogan, as a means of grabbing some fast cash.

I said whatever, let's just do it. Though both Snipes and Rogan were eager to throw down in an epic, pay-per-view celebrity martial arts match, the fight never happened.

Still, Rogan is confident he would've emerged victorious. I'm gonna get a hold of him, and I'm gonna squeeze the expletive out of him, and they're gonna give me a lot of money, and he's probably not even gonna get hurt.

Snipes decided he had enough, and filed a lawsuit against the government's tax collection agency. Snipes argued that the IRS was just arbitrarily throwing out figures in an effort to collect as much money as possible—which directly contradicts their " Fresh Start" program.

Created in , the program is supposed to assist those with feeling the burden of financial hardship resolve their tax issues in a manner which is mutually beneficial to both the taxpayer and the government Anyone who's ever had to pay a large tax bill can probably empathize with Snipes' efforts to work out some sort of reduced arrangement with the IRS.

Though Snipes doesn't get very many big-time movie offers anymore, he still gets plenty of small-time movie offers.

Most recently, he's starred in some stinkers like 's Armed Response and The Recall , but he wasn't really that bad in either of them.

He also had a role in The Expendables 3 —which wasn't particularly good but served to put Snipes name back into contention, nonetheless. Even more promising, Snipes played Cyclops in Spike Lee's Chi-Raq , which is undoubtedly the best project to involve the actor in recent decades.

Whether or not Snipes' three-year prison sentence was justified, the actor accepted the consequences of his actions and used the time to positively re-evaluate his life.

So there's no illusion there. So then they model their lives based on the value of time that they've learned, the value of consequences for your actions.

Most people on the outside don't do that. You know, they waste time. They figure they can move through a life without consequences.
