American actor Tom Sizemore’s action characters often seem to reflect the drama and frustrations in his personal life.
The actor, mostly in negative roles in some of the most popular films of the 1990s and 2000s, such as ‘Black Hawk Down’, ‘Born on the Fourth of July’, ‘Natural Born Killers’, has died at the age of 61.
Sizemore was expected to star in the new independent action film from the major studios, Impuratus, as a police investigator who comes to believe in the supernatural after the near-death confessions of a US Civil War veteran.
But he suffered a sudden stroke on February 18 at his home in Los Angeles that left him in a coma, before his family decided to stop the machine that was keeping him alive.
Sizemore was born in Detroit, Michigan, his mother worked for the public defender while his father was a lawyer and professor of philosophy.
His fame came in the 1990s with roles in films such as ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Pearl Harbor’ and the action drama ‘Heat’.
In 2013, Sizemore published an autobiographical book detailing his relationship with British actress Elizabeth Hurley, who later married actress Maeve Quinian.
His name has been involved in several sexual scandals as in a video he showed that he had sex with Paris Hilton – who denied it on her part.
In 2003 he was sentenced to three months in prison for domestic violence and failed drug tests several times while on parole.
Sizemore is survived by two children, Jagger and Jayden, and a private crematorium ceremony will be held by the family in the coming days.
