Tom Sizemore in critical condition after suffering brain aneurysm

Tom Sizemore is in critical condition after suffering a brain aneurysm, a representative for the actor said on Sunday.

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.

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.
