‘Saving Private Ryan’ actor Tom Sizemore hospitalized with brain aneurysm

Tom Sizemore has been hospitalized in critical condition after suffering a brain aneurysm, a spokesman for the 61-year-old actor told the Los Angeles Times.

According to the Associated Press, the Saving Private Ryan star suffered an aneurysm around 2 a.m. Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. As of Sunday morning, he was in intensive care in what his spokesman Charles Lago described as a “wait and see” situation.

Sizemore is known for his roles in major feature films such as Saving Private Ryan, True Romance and Black Hawk Down. In Steven Spielberg’s 1998 military drama Saving Private Ryan, he played Sgt. Croatian with Tom Hanks and Matt Damon.

In 2003, Sizemore was convicted of domestic violence after his girlfriend Heidi Fleiss accused him of physically abusing her. Fourteen years later, Sizemore refused to contest domestic violence charges after he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend in downtown Los Angeles.

In 2009, he was arrested on suspicion of beating his ex-wife, and in 2011 on suspicion of beating his ex-wife. He has also been arrested in the past on suspicion of carrying or selling controlled substances, and in 2006 did not dispute methamphetamine use near a motel in Bakersfield.

Sizemore has been open about his path to addiction and announced in 2011 that he would write a memoir about his “struggle with substance abuse”. In 2013, he released his book, Somehow I Got Out of There.

“The fact that I’ve been sober for over two years now – and that I’m acting just as much as I used to – proves that people can overcome obstacles even when they think they can’t,” Sizemore said in 2011.
