Thank you for the interesting article. I always liked his work. I can add one tale. A producer really wanted Sizemore for a very low budget film but did not have much money. So he watched carefully and sort of 'pounced' on Sizemore at the moment he got out of jail. Sizemore took the role at what I'm sure was a significantly reduced rate compared to his usual pay check. (I suspect that this was a manifestation of Sizemore's enthusiasm for acting.) How the film did I'm not sure.

That’s interesting. He did solitary confinement at Chico state prison according to my research. What a relief the work in the producer’s movie must’ve been.

"Heart and Souls" has long been a favorite movie for me, and I've also been a fan of Tom Sizemore's acting through the years-- so many great roles. Thank you, Scott, for the reminder.

It’s my pleasure. I’m planning to review both “Heart and Souls” (this year for its 30th anniversary) and “Saving Private Ryan”. I’ve not seen most of his performances.
