Sizemore, 61, of Detroit, rose to prominence in the 1990s and 2000s with parts in films such as ‘Natural Born Killers,’ ‘Stranger Days,’ and ‘Pearl Harbor.’ But, he is widely remembered for playing Mike Horvath in the World War Two film ‘Saving Private Ryan’.

In addition, for his work in ‘Witness Protection,’ he was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2000 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie. Most recently, he appeared in episodes of the television shows ‘Twin Peaks’ or ‘Cobra Kai’.

Sizemore battled drug addiction for a long time and suffered a slew of legal issues during his career. He was convicted in 2003 on domestic abuse charges after his former fiancée, Heidi Fleiss, accused him of assault.
