This is sad. The guy is a good actor who had public personal struggles throughout much of his life. I'll never forget your legendary cameo in Its Always Sunny, Tom

 

[DKehoe]

Fuck. Pretty terrifying how something like an aneurysm can just happen out of nowhere.

 

[FunkMiller]

Horrible. A great actor, if a very troubled man.

And worse to see the anti vax loons trying to say this had anything to do with the covid jab. The guy doesn’t deserve to have his final days exploited like that by a bunch of cunts.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Man lot of these famous older actors are dying

I feel bad for Tom Sizemore

Hope he recovers

 

[PanzerAzel]

Damn that sucks, he was always an enjoyable watch.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Guy was fantastic in Heat.
Can't say I'm surprised though. Last "film" I saw him in was some kind of porno/sex tape where he was doing crack.

Fuck. Pretty terrifying how something like an aneurysm can just happen out of nowhere.

killed my mates mother who was having a cup of tea with her sister, one minute chatting away in the kitchen next she dropped dead... scary thing is her sister died same way a few years later

 

[GymWolf]

Shit, i always liked him.

 

[FeralEcho]

Fuck...this hit me hard.I always loved him as an actor,great presence on screen.

 

[ahtlas7]

Loved his acting and always hoped for a Mickey Rourke type return to screen. Dang, this is sad.

 

[El Pistolero]

Really liked him in both Saving Private Ryan, and in a guilty pleasure of mine: Relic.
I know he has had his share of misfortunes.
I hope he pulls through...Man, you realize that nothing is guaranteed in life...that the brief journey could end at any moment. Pretty obvious, but we tend to forget this simple, observable reality.

 

[CGNoire]

Super Sad.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I'm not super into cinema, what are some of this guy's standouts? May as well give his work the respect that I missed out on. Condolences to all involved.

his standouts are Saving Private Ryan, BlackHawk Down & Heat

I like him in Heat, that movie was fucking awesome.

 

[AlteredForms]

Unfortunate news, though I'm not entirely surprised. You take one look at the guy and you can clearly tell he's a mess.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

his standouts are Saving Private Ryan, BlackHawk Down & Heat

Thanks, haha, I know I sound like a troll, but I've honestly never see any of these, despite having some knowledge of each via cultural osmosis. Just never been a huge movie person.

 

[jason10mm]

Really liked him in both Saving Private Ryan, and in a guilty pleasure of mine: Relic.

Same here, just listened to the Quentin Taratino podcast about Relic and they talked him up quite a bit. I was yelling at my phone "WTF, you directed him in like half your movies!" then realized that I had once again confused him with Michael Madsen

Regardless of his demons, I enjoyed most of his work.

 

[Putonahappyface]

He is an underrated actor for sure and brings a strong presence with his roles. I loved him Natural Born Killers, Heat, Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down.

 

[Putonahappyface]

His performance was pretty good in Natural Born Killers as well.

 

[YCoCg]

Jeez, first Ray Liotta and now Tom Sizemore:

 

[Rival]

It’s too bad Tom struggled so much with drug abuse over the years. He was a really talented actor.

 

[F0rneus]

He passed away. RIP.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

He passed away. RIP.

Hijoles

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I can see this guy would have went far if he didn't get caught up in the drugs and booze. He is a great actor. His last roles, though...
Product of his chosen lifestyle.

WAT THE FUCK.... He passed away....

Rest In Peace, Tom. Relax, buddy.

 

[MrMephistoX]

He passed away. RIP.

That sucks brain aneurysm got my grandma despite being healthy as a horse in her 80’s: although she never did cocaine or hardcore drugs unless she made a bunch of mistakes in the 1920’s at flapper parties or something.

 

[Obsidian Ball]

He was in Lock Up with Sly. He played the prisoner who gets murdered by the gang in the room he is asked to clean. It was a set up.

 

[Chiggs]

Terrible news. Tom was such a legend.

• Heat
• Natural Born Killers
• Saving Private Ryan
• Bringing Out the Dead
• Strange Days
• True Romance
• Devil in a Blue Dress
• The Relic
• Passenger 57

[Zelphyr]

61 is way too young to go...
I remember Family Guy making a joke about him living in a shithole apartment and it actually made me sad.

 

[Paulxo87]

his defining role was in saving private ryan. Truly exceptional in that film

 

[Neff]

Amazing actor. He could do pretty much anything and was fantastic in every role he did. Even in his smaller parts (Point Break, Passenger 57) he made it look easy.

his standouts are Saving Private Ryan, BlackHawk Down & Heat

Strange Days for me.

 

[SJRB]

Intensely charismatic actor with a LOT of amazing movies under his belt.

RIP, my guy.

 

[AJUMP23]

Good actor, unfortunately he could not get past addiction.

 

[Batiman]

Unfortunate news, though I'm not entirely surprised. You take one look at the guy and you can clearly tell he's a mess.

I can’t tell he is as a mess. What’s looks off about him? I mean he looks decent for 61. And don’t aneurysms just happen out of the blue?

 

[ahtlas7]

RIP brother

I had a 20 year old cousin who fell dead from a brain aneurysm. He was literally playing with his sister one moment and gone the next. He was an amazing guy too.

 

[Trunx81]

I had a 20 year old cousin who feel dead from a brain aneurysm. He was literally playing with his sister one moment and gone the next. He was an amazing guy too.

My mom died from one when I was 4. This hits home

 

[EviLore]

RIP. Check out Strange Days if you haven’t.

 

[drganon]

Rip. He was a great supporting actor. Heat, saving private ryan, natural born killers, etc.

 

[F0rneus]

RIP. Check out Strange Days if you haven’t.

Fantastic film.

He was also excellent in the very underrated The Relic.

 

[VN1X]

Intensely charismatic actor with a LOT of amazing movies under his belt.

RIP, my guy.

What movie is this from again? Heat ?
