[edit] A bunch of unsigned, uncategorized, old discussion

"On August 8, 2000 he was shot and killed by a group of men working for Jesse, in the mountains north of Goleta, California."

"He was apprehended on March 9, 2005 in Brazil"

I think a little more clarity would be useful here about who "he" refers to. I'm assuming that the first sentence refers to Nicholas, but could do with a pointer from someone who knows. Robotmannick 07:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

There is a dicrepancy involving the debt owed, it ranges from $1500.00(US) to many thousands more. The "He" that was shot (9 times with a semi-auto)was Nicholas Markowitz the younger step brother of Benjamin Markowitz. Benjamin had a drug debt with Jesse James Hollywood.

Poorly written. Protokurios 20:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

On August 6, 2000, Hollywood ... abducted Benjamin's 15-year-old stepbrother Nicholas Markowitz. Nicholas was unaware of the danger he was in and spent several days ... partying with his captors, even losing his virginity. ... on August 8, 2000, ... Nicholas was shot and killed by a group of men working for Hollywood.

I'm a little confused by this section. Based on the dates given, Nicholas was killed two days after he was kidnapped. Yet the article says he spent "several days ... partying with his captors." How could he have spent "several days" doing anything if he was essentially their captive for only three days and two nights?

The date has been changed to August 9th based on the FBI Press Release of Jesse James Hollywood's capture.

he spent three days with them. then they took him to a popular hiking area in goleta, dug a hole, and shot him.


My bet is that someone working for the studios wrote that lame description of Jesse James Hollywood, to make the story seem more true than fabricated.


This is NO fake I GUarantee you, please read i am sorry this is offensive to me as i considered the victim a friend http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/celebrity/jesse_james_hollywoo/1.html

This is not fake, and his name really if Jesse James Hollywood - i live in goleta and it happened in the mountins which is like a 20 minute drive from the lemon tree in which is located in santa barbara where Nicholas Markowitz spent his last hours. Everyone should see the movie its supposed to be held very true to the facts since the Santa Barbara Jusge who presided over the trials of the others that were involved handed over all trnascripts incuding confidential material to the dirctor/writer of the movie (alpha dog). if anyone does a little research it will clearly show that these people actually do exist and this actually did happen.

"When Hollywood appeared on America's Most Wanted, some tips led to Canada, where Hollywood was a bitch." I have no idea what thats supposed to mean or why it was there, but I deleted it. It was the first line in the Capture section. Mobkey 04:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HIS NAME IS JESSE JAMES HOLLYWOOD??

HAHAHA YEAH RIGHT. This article is SOOOOOO fake.--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 04:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

His name is Jesse James Hollywood, he's named after his uncle. He was on America's Most Wanted maybe 3 years ago. Just do a little research.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.8.204.62 (talk • contribs) 21:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] THIS IS IN FACT GENUINE

jesse james hollywood is in fact a serial killer awaiting trial in california, this is no fake, benjamin markowits was a citizen of Simi Valley,ca.

I know this is true b-cuz i knew ben, jesse james was a name he bought himself after he became wealthy, his birth name is not known to me.

Jesse JAmes HOllywoods associates still control much of the drug traffic wihtin Ventura County.

THIS IS NOT FAKE and it would be a GREAT INJUSTICE TO the MArkowitz Familt to pulls this article.

Jesse James Hollywood is his birth name. You can find it in the California Birth Records (which are public). --Kenny 18:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


jesse james hollywood would not be classified as a serial killer (he himself did not kill anyone, one could only be a serial killer by definition if one were to murder three or more persons one by one in a series of incidents). moving on, his real name is Jesse James Hollywood as the above person has mention it is public information and fairly easy to find. Now majority of his drug activites took place in San Fernando Valley which is located in Los Angeles county - not in Ventura County. ----User: Blackstarz26 17:58, 15 January 2007

[edit] Alleged

It seems that this article presumes the guilt of Hollywood in spite of the fact that his trial has not yet begun. Is it not necessary to write that the 'facts' in this article are disputed by Hollywood? I agree with the writer above that sources for this article are necessary, which that might clear up some of the issues. 67.190.100.152 19:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)BC


Alleged is a difficult word in this instance. There are court cases and people in jail and solid proof that the Markowitz kid was kidnapped, that the older Markowitz was a drug dealer, etc. The only "alleged" thing in this situation is that Hollywood allegedly ordered the murder. There is NO DOUBT in any case that the group kidnapped the kid, one could say that Hollywood was allegedly involved in the kidnapping, but the kid was not allegedly kidnapped. One might say that Markowitz allegedly owed money to Hollywood, but not that Markowitz was an alleged drug dealer as it has been proven that he is. One might say that Hollywood allegedly sold drugs to Markowitz, but not that Hollywood was a drug dealer...because it has been proven that he was. One does not committ an error by saying that "the group kidnapped Markowitz." It is an error to say that the group "allegedly kidnapped Markowitz" as that gives the presumption of innocense to the entire group, rather than just Hollywood. It would be more appropriate to say that the group kidnapped Markowitz and Hollywood was allegedly with them. Additionally it would be more appropriate to say that "Hollywood allegedly did it because the elder Markowitz owed him drug money." 74.132.172.179 01:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Cleanup

Is anyone heading the article cleanup. I am noticing a lot of "facts" that are not based on references such as "Markowitz also had threatened to reveal a $36,000 insurance scam involving Hollywood, who had sold a sport car for parts and then reported it stolen in an attempt to obtain insurance benefits." Markowitz had alerted authorities and there is no reference. Not going to change and reference if someone else is running the cleaning up of the article.--DizFreak talk Contributions 08:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Court document unavailable

Reference 7 is unavailable at the court's website. JensMueller 23:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
