“He’s in the hospital,” Lago told FOX News. “His family are aware of the situation and are hoping for the best.
‘It’s too early to know [a] Recovery situation as he is in critical condition and under surveillance.’
TMZ broke the news of Sizemore’s condition first, and has reached out for comment from his rep, who has not yet responded.

Sizemore is best known for his role as Sgt. Mike Harvath in Saving Private Ryan
Sizemore is best known for his work in films such as Black Hawk Down, Born on the Fourth of July, Natural Born Killers and Heat.
He will now star in a new indie sci-fi film, Impuratus, in which he plays a police detective who is forced to believe in the supernatural after witnessing a Civil War veteran’s deathbed confession.
But the action star’s career has been fraught with scandal as he battled drug use and has had multiple run-ins with the law.
He was arrested for drink driving, domestic violence and possession of a controlled substance.
In 2013, Sizemore published a tell-all book about his affair with Elizabeth Hurley. He torments the actress, then-girlfriend of Hugh Grant, as the seductress he fell in love with on the set of Passenger 57 in 1992.
He was later married to actress Maeve Quinian from 1996 to 1999.
Sizemore’s new film is expected to be released next month, but the first public screening will be next week in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, near where Impuratus was filmed.
Speaking to Age of the Nerd about his latest project, Sizemore said he signed on because he “enjoyed the script” and was an “excellent lead.”
“It was a time of peace, which was interesting, and I really like the people who were involved,” Sizemore said of the film, which also stars John Quigley, Robert Miano and Lew Temple.
He added that he saw a “very early cut and I was blown away.
“The quality was amazing, the acting (including some of mine of course) but seriously everyone was outstanding and the photography superb,” Sizemore said, adding he “can’t wait to see the final version with the music.” . ‘
When asked about his 30-year career, Sizemore attributed his success to his “passion for work.”
“I’ve always loved movies,” he said. “That’s why I started, and after all these years, I still love movies.”
He noted that the industry has changed over the years, “so I think it’s just about having a real passion for stories and my budding curiosity.”
Sizemore added, “I feel like I have a second act coming up and that I need to start doing more dramatic roles and stay away from the villain, military and cop roles.”

Sizemore was born in Detroit, Michigan, where his mother was an associate of the Ombudsman and his father worked as an attorney and philosophy professor.
His early roles included appearances on Oliver Stone’s Born July 4, 1989, as well as Point Break and Natural Born Killers.
He also starred in the 1993 independent drama Love is Like That with actress and model Pamela Gidley and had a supporting role in 1994’s Kevin Costner’s Wyatt Earp as Bat Masterson.
For his work in Heart and Souls, Sizemore was nominated for a 1993 Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor.
From there he had a number of well-received supporting roles, including his portrayal of Michael Cherito in the 1995 heist film Heat.
His biggest hit was playing Sgt. Mike Harvath on Saving Private Ryan in 1999, the same year he had his first major starring role as Detective Vincent D’Agosta on The Relic.
In the early 2000s, Sizemore appeared in action films such as Pearl Harbor starring Ben Affleck and Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down.
But in 2005, the same year he fathered twins, his career collapsed with the release of Tom Sizemore Sex Scandal, a sextape of him with multiple women.
Two years later, VH1 aired a six-part series titled “Shooting Sizemore,” which chronicled the actor’s efforts to regain his career while struggling with methamphetamine and heroin addiction.
The show also followed his efforts to appeal an assault charge for assaulting then-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss.
He was convicted of domestic violence in 2003 and sentenced to seven months in prison and four months in drug therapy for repeatedly failing drug tests while on parole.
One of his earliest roles was as a supporting character in Natural Born Killers (pictured)

In 2010, Sizemore made another appearance on the entertainment network as a patient on the third season of Celebrity Rehab.
And in November 2017, it was revealed he had been kicked off the set of Born Killers in 2003 after being accused of sexually molesting an 11-year-old on set.
He denied any wrongdoing and was allowed back on set after the Salt Lake County Attorney’s Office decided not to pursue the case, citing “witness and evidence issues.”
By May 2018, the then 26-year-old actress filed a lawsuit against Sizemore, seeking at least $3 million. But on August 27, 2020, a Utah judge dismissed the lawsuit.
The following year, however, Sizemore did not plead against two domestic violence charges for assaulting his girlfriend. He was sentenced to 36 months probation, 30 days of community service and a year-long domestic violence program.
Still, Sizemore’s career remained stable, with two of his films making their Sundance Film Festival debuts in 2008: Red and American Son.
He then enjoyed a career resurgence when he was cast as a series regular on the USA Network show Shooter and later appeared in the revival of Twin Peaks.
More recently, in 2022, Sizemore won an IndiFEST Award and an Accolade Competition Award for his supporting role in The Electric Man.
