Wow he was a good actor...he really messed up his life

[RDTF]

I thought he was already in jail for beating up Heidi Fleiss

[Shadowstrike]

Hasn’t he had ‘three strikes’ by now.

I enjoyed him in “The Relic”.

He was a great Actor. Too bad he can’t straighten out his life.

[robomatik]

Heat was his best movie. I thought he was still in prison?

“Heat”

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Robert De Niro gave this clown the smack-down already and told him to clean himself up or his roles will dry up. You're making millions of dollars entertaining folks and you piss it away on booze and drugs. How stupid can people be?

Sizemore is a helluva actor though. Hollywood can't be all that stressful, you got hot girls and flashing cameras coming at you.

Heat was awesome.

[BBell]

Saving Private Sizemore

[BBell]

Heat sucked. It was like an hour too long. Saving Private Ryan was much better.

[Ramius]

That meth is nasty stuff.

Some get past it, but not many.

I’m in favor of legalization of some things. Not sure about the harder meds like heroin or meth. But then again... Prohibition didn’t stop any of this.

Thank you benevolent Big Brother for saving him from himself.

[Gay State Conservative]

He was damn good...DAMN good...in Private Ryan.IMO he could have a very prosperous career in Hollywood if he’d keep himself clean.

[robomatik]

heat was typical michael mann directing (thinking of heavens gate), too long, but the action sequences were awesome. i agree, ryan was a better film.

Heat sucked. It was like an hour too long. Saving Private Ryan was much better.

Blasmephous!

Ryan was good, 2 different movies, Michael Mann's movies rock, Heat was one of the best crime dramas ever made. Pacino was fierce!

[mgstarr]

Prohibition didn’t stop any of this.

Never stopped SoCons before...

[Petronski]

So absolutely pitifully sad.

I invite Free Republicans (FReepers) to pray for this talented actor. I hope my pingees will apply their pinglists.

Thanks in advance, and may God save Tom Sizemore.

"I enjoyed him in “The Relic”."

Did you by chance read the book? How about the sequel "The Reliquary"? I'm a devoted reader of books by Doug Preston and Lincoln Child, and especially enjoy their series of books that feature FBI Special Agent Aloysius X. L. Pendergast. I'm surprised more of their books haven't been made into movies.

I thought he was excellent in Saving Private Ryan (I think he was nominated for the best supporting actor academy award for it) and Blackhawk Down. Actually I can’t think of a movie I’ve seen him in where he didn’t do a very good job. He is very talented, I hope he gets his life together.

I'm in favor of legalization as well. The prison system is way too overcrowed, mostly with drug users, and consequently repeat violent offenders are let off with minimal time served or no jail time at all because there just isn't enough room for them. Meanwhile you constantly hear stories of people who haven't hurt anyone other than themselves and are doing hard time for simply taking drugs.
