Tom Sizemore passed away on Friday in Burbank, California.
He was a tough-guy actor whose career featured parts in important movies like “Saving Private Ryan” and “Black Hawk Down” was occasionally overshadowed by his issues with substance addiction and the law. He was 61.
Tom Sizemore cause of death: How did Tom Sizemore die?
Charles Lago, his manager, made the announcement of his death. The reason for Mr. Sizemore’s stroke on February 18—which resulted in a brain aneurysm—was not immediately apparent. Since that time, he has remained unconscious and on life support.
In roles as soldiers, gangsters, cops, and baseball player Pete Rose in a television movie, Mr. Sizemore could be aggressive, charming, and crazy.
In Steven Spielberg’s 1998 film “Saving Private Ryan,” he played Sgt. Mike Horvath, the committed second in command to Captain Miller (played by Tom Hanks) in a small squad of Army Rangers tasked with finding a soldier whose three brothers had previously perished in war.
