Published | Updated

Jeremy Meeks -- aka Dreamy McMug -- stands to make tens of thousands of dollars just for looking like a hot gangster.

Blaze Modelz tells TMZ ... "gangster models" are hot right now. The agency claims they can book Meeks with high-end fashion houses -- like Versace and Armani -- and he could rake in $15 - $30K a month.

Blaze also says they actually like Meeks' face tattoos ... even the gang-revealing teardrop. They thinks it's edgy and sexy. They didn't mention the Crip tattoo on his neck, but that can be covered.

Another modeling agency -- that did not want to be named -- tells us ... once Meeks is a free man they'd like to work with him as well.

Here's the problem. Meeks is currently being held on $900,000 bail with no prospect of getting out soon. He's a convicted criminal facing serious weapons charges and could be a little long in the tooth before he gets sprung.

Published | Updated

Jeremy Meeks -- aka Dreamy McMug Shot -- is a BAD GUY ... that's certainly what his rap sheet shows.

Meeks -- who has owned the Internet the last few days with his perfectly lit, eye-gazing mug shot -- has been in and out of prison for more than a decade.

The 30-year-old was charged in 2002 with robbery and corporal injury to a child. He allegedly jumped a 16-year-old and beat him to a pulp. Meeks copped a plea and was sentenced to 2 years in a California prison.

According to docs, Meeks admitted during the case he was affiliated with a criminal street gang, which is a felony in California. The docs say he was a Northside Gangster Crip.

Meeks served his time and moved to the Spokane area of Washington, and in 2007, he was charged with identity theft and resisting arrest. According to legal docs ... he was in a sporting goods store and tried to steal a package of pellets and when security guards saw him, Meeks screamed, "I'll f*** you all up." The guards peppered sprayed Meeks into submission. He was convicted and served time.

And now he faces weapons charges as well as street terrorism.

Ex-Cop Sues Meek Mill I'm Firing Blanks in the Bedroom ... Because of You

'Goodfellas' Actor Frank Sivero Quickie Jail Sesh For Gun Possession

Published | Updated

"Goodfellas" actor Frank Sivero must still have friends in high places ... because he was sentenced to 90 days in jail on Wednesday -- but served less than a week.

It's a little sketchy what happened ... Sivero told TMZ at the time of his arrest ... he was escorting a lady friend out of an apartment building and when he got to the lobby -- to his surprise -- cops were there waiting for him, found he was in possession of a gun and arrested him.

According to legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- part of the plea deal is that Sivero is not allowed to use force or violence against anyone, and the docs single out a woman. The docs don't say for sure if it's the same woman he was escorting out of the building.

Sivero -- known for playing pistol-packing mob guys in movies -- served 3 days this week before his release Friday night. He was also credited with 3 days for time served back in March. The probable reason he was released early ... jail overcrowding.

We're told Sivero cannot possess any deadly weapons for the next 36 months ... and he's required to attend AA meeting a week for 26 weeks. He also had to pay $220 in fines.

Good thing he's popular in jail.
