Actor Tom Sizemore’s family is currently facing end-of-life decisions after receiving updates from doctors, according to a statement given by his manager Charles Lago on Monday evening.
Sizemore, who was hospitalized following a brain aneurysm earlier this month, has remained in critical condition, in a coma and in intensive care, ever since.
Lago also informed TMZ that the brain aneurysm was caused by a stroke Sizemore suffered on Feb. 18 at his Los Angeles home, which caused him to collapse and be rushed to the hospital. Paramedics were called after an unnamed person found the “Saving Private Ryan” star around 2 a.m. unconscious.
The statement also mentions that Sizemore struggled with cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine addictions and ran into legal trouble for drug possession and domestic abuse.
He appeared on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” in 2010. In 2003, he was convicted of domestic violence against his then-girlfriend, Heidi Fleiss.
Sizemore is best known for his role as Sgt. Mike Horvath in the 1998 World War II blockbuster “Saving Private Ryan,” which scored five Oscars. He also appeared in other notable projects such as “Heat,” “Natural Born Killers,” “Pearl Harbor,” “Black Hawk Down,” “Lock Up,” “Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man,” “Point Break,” “True Romance,” and “Strange Days.”
Recently, Sizemore appeared in episodes of the TV series “Twin Peaks” and “Cobra Kai,” and one of his last films was “The Legend of Jack and Diane” in 2022. He is also attached to projects set for 2023 and 2024.
The family is now deciding end-of-life matters, and a further statement will be issued on Wednesday. Sizemore’s manager requested privacy for his family during this difficult time and expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support they have received.
