Any Tom Sizemore Fans?
I just read that Tom was arrested a few days ago for drugs, and he is under investigation for stealing some cell phones. This comes after years of drug and legal problems. Tom briefly tried to clean up his act as seen in Shooting Sizemore, but things just keep getting worse for the guy.
Tom was one of my favorite actors in the 90s. He has starred in some of the biggest films, True Romance, Saving Private Ryan, and Heat. He brought such an intensity to those films. I hope he can pull a Robert Downy Jr and make a comeback.

As it has already been said, I thought Tom Sizemore brought intensity to all of his roles. He owned all of his scenes in Enemy of the State. He was also the best character in Black Hawk Down. I also liked him in Heat,True Romance,NBK, and Saving Private Ryan.
Unfortunately, he never reached lead actor status but he always shined in those secondary roles.

I think he's a great character actor...just really sad that he got so caught up into drugs & hookers that he probably must have ended up losing a lot financially.
I remember reading that his troubles already started before Saving Private Ryan was filmed; and that Spielberg basically told him that he will not hesitate re-shoot all scenes Sizemore was in if the actor was to relapse during production.

# The film opened at one theater, Highland Village Park Theater in Dallas, Texas. It ran for six days, and made $30 at the box office. A crew member who took a friend got a refund, so the final domestic box-office gross was $20.
# The film's very limited release was a technical necessity to comply with Screen Actors Guild's regulations.
# Lowest-grossing movie of all time (as of 2007).

Re: Any Tom Sizemore Fans?
Seeing that he has been a meth addicted crazy man for years now, how is anyone just now picking up on it?
That stuff about him trying to or threatening to kill that whore in LA, Heidi Fleiss, was ALL over the media.
The many meth arrests, and him freaking out in that 'comeback' interview and storming off the set. He was obviously wasted on meth in that interview.
Then they did some reality show I caught a couple of episodes of where he openly talked about how being a meth addicted crazy man had cost him damn near everything.
He was a good actor, but that ship sailed like 5 or more years ago.
