His picture belongs in the Mugshots hall of fame. Nick Nolte brought sexy back to Hawaiian print shirts.

I swear that when I left my apartment this morning, this guy was going through the dumpster outside the parking garage.

Hard to believe that he looks worse here than when he played a homeless guy on "Down and Out in Beverly Hills"

Life imitates art....

The hair, the shirt! Its so wrong, yet so funny. Easily the best mugshot of all time! 

UPDATE: 30 of 32 ratings of this item are five stars. Wow...

i think in his case you know when youve hit the bottom

This is pretty much the celeb mugshot that all others are compared to.

I will never think of Nick Nolte without this image popping up and wrecking any good vibe I may have had...

That reminds me.  I have watched the movie Teachers yesterday night.

Jokes aside this shot is extremely scary and very, very sad.  It's not just the hair, but the menacing way hes looking into the camera like he's ready to kill you.  I think it's extremely sad that a man so talented has lost control of his life by letting his appearance go like that.

Looks exactly like Bill the Cat from Bloom County. Gack!

Okay, it's between Nick and James Brown.

Tied with James Brown for the all-time f**ked up looking celebrity mugshot.

he looks like a has been surfer dude that you see panhandlng

I remember him sitting at a front row at the Acadmy awards,prostesting and sneering when Elia Kazan got an Award.
Nolte deserved this!

I always wanted a hairdo like that. I just couldn't get it to part that way.

Scary..... He's a walking public service announcement.

Mom: Billy, don't do drugs or drink.
Billy: Why?
Mom: Or you'll end up looking like Nick Nolte.
Billy: When you put it that away.

He looks like a lot of people would look if they were partying real hard and then ended up in handcuffs.He's a talented actor,and it's not a bit uncommon for the wealthy folk to go out and get way too trashed.This includes the Bush twins!!!

If anyone can remember him on Rich Man Poor Man he was at one time a very handsome man. Now they don't even look like the same man. He has to be embarrassed by this picture if not I'm embarrassed for him.

Good Lord he looks stoned!

If I saw this walking torwards me, I'd turn and run far in the other direction. That is messed up!

My hope is that he will (or maybe has by now) defeat whatever inner demons drove him to this point, as I never like to see anyone in such obvious psychic pain. Also, he's a damn fine actor when he wants to be.

Yep, he definitely looks like misery has bot the best of him here, or..somewone took a real big ugly stick to him.

He's definitely taken a beating over the years. And what's with that shirt?

he looked awful messed up in this mugshot. it is like he must have done something to get in trouble for. this picture said it all.

I remember this one as being one of the most unforgettable mugshots ever! Man does he look rough.

Unforgettable indeed.

If you've got a better mugshot than this, I'd like to see it. Dude looks like he just got crapped out of an elephant's butt.

nick was having a very bad hair day. i remember how handsome he used to be when he was on rich man poor man.
