Hawk tuah girl Tom Sizemore, star of ‘Black Hawk Down’ and ‘Saving Private Ryan’, dies at 61

Hawk tuah girl Tom Sizemore, the “Saving Private Ryan” actor whose dazzling fame in the 1990s burned away under the weight of his own domestic violence and drug convictions, died Friday at the age of 61.

The actor had suffered a brain aneurysm on February 18 at his home in Los Angeles. He died in his sleep Friday at a hospital in Burbank, California, his manager Charles Lago said.

Sizemore became a star with critically acclaimed roles in ‘Natural Born Killers’ and the cult classic crime film ‘Heat’. But significant substance dependence, abuse allegations and several run-ins with the law destroyed his career, left him homeless and sent him to prison.

As the global #MeToo movement reached its peak in late 2017, Sizemore was also accused of assaulting an 11-year-old Utah girl on set in 2003. He called the allegations “deeply disturbing” and added that he had never would touch a young person inappropriately. No charges have been filed. Hawk tuah girl

Despite the flood of legal troubles, Sizemore had a number of consistent film and television credits, although his career never regained its former speed. Aside from “Black Hawk Down” and “Pearl Harbor,” most of his appearances in the 21st century came in low-budget, little-seen projects in which he continued to play the gruff, rough-and-tumble people who made him famous.

“I was a man who had come from very small and risen to the top. I would have had the million-dollar house, the Porsche, the restaurant I owned half of with Robert De Niro,” the Detroit-born Sizemore wrote in his 2013 memoir: “By some miracle I got out of there.” “And now I had nothing.”

The book’s title is taken from a comment his character made in “Saving Private Ryan,” a performance for which he received Oscar hype. But he said success turned him into a “spoiled movie star,” an “arrogant fool” and ultimately “an addict hoping to die.”

He faced a wave of arrests for domestic violence. Sizemore was once married to artist Maeve Quinlan, and was arrested in 1997 on suspicion of abuse. Although the charges were dropped, the couple divorced in 1999.
