(CNN) — Tom Sizemore is hospitalized in intensive care due to a brain aneurysm, Charles Lago, the actor’s spokesman, confirmed to CNN on Sunday morning.
Sizemore is in critical condition in what Lago described as a “wait and see situation.”
“His family is aware and awaiting updates,” Lago said. “There are no more at this time.”
Sizemore is best known for his role as Sergeant Horvath in “Saving Private Ryan” and McKnight in “Black Hawk Down.”
As the loyal Sergeant alongside star Tom Hanks, Sizemore delivers the titular line towards the end of the film: “Someday we might look back and decide that saving Private Ryan was the only decent thing we could get out of this horrible shitty mess.” ”.
In addition, he was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2000 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries or Movie Made for Television for his role in “Witness Protection.” More recently, he appeared in episodes of the television series “Twin Peaks” and “Cobra Kai.”
Sizemore has long struggled with drug addiction and had several legal problems during his career.
He was convicted in 2003 on domestic violence charges stemming from a relationship with his former fiancée Heidi Fleiss. He told CNN’s Larry King in a 2010 interview that he had been addicted to cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine, and that he participated in the 2010 season of the reality show “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.”
