HOLLYWOOD - Former Law & Order star Michael Moriarty, whose alcohol addiction has landed him in U.S. and Canadian courts on various charges in the past, has now landed in the hospital after being attacked by three to five men in Vancouver following an evening of drinking. The Canadian Press wire service quoted sources as saying that the attack was unprovoked.
The extent of Moriarty's injuries were not disclosed, although one TV report said that Moriarty was bleeding from both ears.
The actor, who moved to Canada six years ago after condemning the policies of former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, is a Grammy, Tony and Emmy winner. The CP commented that since moving to Canada, "Moriarty has appeared a troubled man."
