LOS ANGELES — Tom Sizemore is in critical condition after suffering a brain aneurysm, a representative for the actor said Sunday.
Sizemore suffered the aneurysm around 2 a.m. Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. He was hospitalized in intensive care, his manager Charles Lago said. Lago described Sizemore's condition “a wait and see situation.”
Sizemore, 61, has acted in films including “Heat” and “Black Hawk Down.” He is best known for his portrayal of Sgt. Mike Horvath in the World War II movie "Saving Private Ryan."
Sizemore also has had a history of drug abuse and run-ins with law enforcement.
He was convicted of domestic violence in 2003 against his girlfriend, Heidi Fleiss. In 2006, he pleaded no contest to using methamphetamine outside a motel. Sizemore was arrested in Los Angeles in 2009 for suspected battery of a former spouse, and again in 2011 for the same offense.
In 2018, a then 26-year-old actress filed a lawsuit against Sizemore, claiming he abused her as an 11-year-old during production on the film “Born Killers." Sizemore denied it, and the suit was later dismissed.
This is a developing story. It will be updated when more details are available.
