Actor Wesley Snipes has arrived at a federal prison in the US state of Pennsylvania to start a three-year sentence for tax evasion.
Snipes arrived shortly before a 1700 GMT deadline at the Federal Correction Institution McKean in Lewis Run.
The 48-year-old star of the Blade films was convicted in Florida in 2008 of failing to file tax returns.
In a TV interview on Tuesday night, he said he was not nervous about reporting to prison.
Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman, Ed Ross, confirmed Snipes had arrived, adding: "He'll go through an orientation process and will begin serving his sentence".
Snipes's lawyer says the case contains irregularities and the White Men Can't Jump and Demolition Man actor will seek a review.
The prison houses 300 inmates, is minimum security and has no perimeter fencing.
However, there are five roll calls a day, three of them overnight, Associated Press news agency reports.
Snipes, who earned millions for the Blade series, can spend less than $300 a month in prison facilities. BBC News
