The actor had suffered a brain aneurysm on Feb 18 at his home in Los Angeles and died in his sleep on Mar 3 at a hospital, his manager said.
Tom Sizemore, the Saving Private Ryan actor whose bright 1990s star burned out under the weight of his own domestic violence and drug convictions, died Friday at age 61.
As the global #MeToo movement wave crested in late 2017, Sizemore was also accused of groping an 11-year-old Utah girl on set in 2003. He called the allegations “highly disturbing”, saying he would never inappropriately touch a child. Charges were not filed.Despite the raft of legal trouble, Sizemore had scores of steady film and television creditsthough his career never regained its onetime momentum.
He racked up a string of domestic violence arrests. Sizemore was married once to actor Maeve Quinlan and was arrested on suspicion of beating her in 1997. While the charges were dropped, the couple divorced in 1999.the same year he pleaded no contest and avoided trial in a separate abuse caseand sentenced to jail.
Fleiss also sued Sizemore, saying she suffered emotional distress after he threatened to get her own probation revoked. Fleiss had been convicted in 1994 of running a high-priced call-girl ring. That lawsuit was settled on undisclosed terms. “God’s trying to tell me he doesn’t want me using drugs because every time I use them I get caught,” Sizemore told The Bakersfield Californian in a jailhouse interview.
Many of Sizemore's later-career films had a sci-fi, horror or action bent: In 2022 alone, he starred in movies with such titles as Impuratus, Night Of The Tommyknockers and Vampfather. But Sizemore still nabbed a few meaty rolesand guest spots on popular shows like Entourage and Hawaii Five-O.
