"He is currently in critical condition and it’s
a wait and see situation," the 61-year-old actor's manager,
Charles Lago, wrote in an email.
Sizemore, whose film and television career has spanned decades,
is best recognized for his roles as the battle-hardened sergeant
at Tom Hanks’ side in 1998’s “Saving Private Ryan,” and as
commander of an Army Ranger battalion in 2001’s “Black Hawk
Down.” He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 2000 for
best actor in a miniseries or film made for television for his
role in "Witness Protection."
Sizemore has struggled with drug addiction for nearly as long as
his career and has had multiple run-ins with law enforcement. A
2007 documentary series, "Shooting Sizemore," chronicled his
efforts to reclaim his life and career after being convicted of
assaulting his ex-girlfriend and entering rehab for
methamphetamine and heroin use.
The actor has been arrested for driving under the influence and
drug possession multiple times in recent years.
