Actor Tom Sizemore, who’s had roles in such blockbuster films as “Saving Private Ryan,” “Born on the Fourth of July” and “Black Hawk Down,” is in critical condition at a hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm, according to multiple media reports Sunday.
Sizemore suffered the aneurysm at around 2 a.m. Saturday at his Los Angeles home, TMZ reported, citing his manager Charles Lago.
The 61-year-old actor has appeared in many major films, but his career has also been marred by drug and legal difficulties.
He was convicted of domestic violence against his girlfriend, former “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss, in 2003. Two years later, he was sentenced to seven months in jail for repeatedly failing drug tests while on probation.
Sizemore appeared on the TV show “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” in 2010.
He pleaded no contest to two charges of domestic abuse in 2017 for assaulting another girlfriend, receiving 36 months of summary probation.
He was arrested on suspicion of possessing various illegal drugs in Burbank in January 2019.
Sizemore’s other film roles include “Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man,” “Passenger 57,” “True Romance,” “Natural Born Killers,” “Strange Days” and “Heat” — all in the 1990s — and “Red Planet” and “Pearl Harbor” (2001).
He also voiced a character in the popular video game “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.”
