Tom Sizemore is in critical condition after suffering a brain aneurysm, a representative for the actor said on Sunday. Sizemore suffered the aneurysm at about 2am local time on Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. He was being treated in intensive care, his manager, Charles Lago, said. Lago described Sizemore’s condition “a wait-and-see situation”. “He is in the hospital. His family is aware of the situation and are hoping for the best. It is too early to know about [a] recovery situation as he is in critical condition under observation,” Lago told Fox News. Sizemore, 61, has acted in films including Saving Private Ryan, Heat and Black Hawk Down. He has also 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 the suspected battery of a former spouse, and again in 2011 for the same offence. In 2018, a then 26-year-old actor filed a lawsuit against Sizemore, claiming he abused her as an 11-year-old during production on the film Born Killers. Sizemore denied the allegation, and the suit was later dismissed. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Sizemore’s father was a lawyer and philosophy professor and his mother was a member of the city of Detroit ombudsman staff. One of his first big screen appearances was in Oliver Stone’s 1989 film Born on the Fourth of July. He would later star in Point Break in 1991, and Quentin Tarantino’s True Romance (1993) and Natural Born Killers (1994). For his performance in the 1993 fantasy comedy film Heart and Souls, he was nominated for the Saturn award for best supporting actor. Sizemore married the actor Maeve Quinlan in 1996, but they divorced in 1999. He became a father to twins in 2005 with Janelle McIntire. His road to recovery from drug addiction was kickstarted by Robert De Niro, he said. In a 2013 interview, Sizemore told how De Niro personally checked him into rehab. Reflecting on his family, Sizemore once said he was an “anomaly” as he was from a “kind of violent” neighbourhood, but his father was a “Harvard man” from “a family of poor people”. “He doesn’t like me talking about the family, but two of his brothers were heroin dealers; one of my mother’s brothers was a pimp,” he said. “Although my mother and father were both completely legit, it was all around me, this crime and licentiousness.”
