He met Heidi Fleiss and then it was all downhill.

I never knew much about him as an actor, but I’ve heard that he was accused of beating women.

If he were still with us, I’m sure he would not deny he lived a very hard life and was probably surprised he even made it to 61. Nevertheless, some very good performances. RIP Tom Sizemore.

Usually, I just shake my head at the ignorant, uninformed comments like yours.

This guy was a long time, very hard core drug addict and all around a-hole. He was a good “type” actor. But he did so much damage to his body over the years I am actually surprised he was alive this long.

So, this was neither sudden (he has been dying for two weeks) or vax related.

He was already in rough shape before he met and took up with her.
