Tom Sizemore has died of a brain aneurysm aged 61. Probably best remembered from Heat, Saving Private Ryan and Natural Born Killers.

Seems to have done a lot of pretty shitty things in his personal life, but for today let's remember that the action is the juice.

RIP always thought he was great at portraying sometimes likeable shitbag characters. Probably because he wasn’t having to act.

One of the great hard man stares in film. Like you don't ever want to make eye contact with him ever again

Loved his character Michael Cheritto in 'Heat'.

RIP

A fine acting talent, but let's not downplay his crimes by calling him a troubled soul, he was a repeat violent abuser of women who showed his contrition by trying to cheat his way out of drug tests. He was an awful person whose career deservedly fell apart because why would anyone want to work with that. RIP in any case.

Seen an article about people the Oscars left out of their obituary and i only find out now the actress(/model) Charlbi Dean from Triangle of Sadness died last year, a few months after the premiere at Cannes. Watched the film months ago not knowing, absolutely stunning and was great in the role, could definitely act, about to become a star no doubt...

Blood ran cold when i read that. Tragic.

Goddamn it another The Wire actor has died, Lance Reddick. Aged only 60. Also in Bosch, Fringe and the John Wick series.

Real shame, one of those actors where his name popping up meant good quality.

Was listening to a dramatised sci fi podcast and he was in it, has such a unique voice.

RIP.

Literally sitting here rewatching Fringe as I'm reading this news. Fuck me, that's sad. :'(

Great actor, shame man. Loved him in John Wick.

That's fucking gutting, that. Was great in everything he played a part in. For me one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. He had quite a few similar law man roles in the likes of The Wire and Fringe but completely got the characters right.

60 years old ffs, that's nothing really is it. A great body of work, though.

Very sad news. A commanding actor...great in everything he appeared in...and managed to make iconic shows even better.

RIP to a genuine TV legend.

Always reminds me of the greatest TV show of the 90s... Oz.
Brilliant in everything else he starred in too. Some people just have a vibe that's natural and impossible to replicate. RIP

Terrific actor. Far too many Wire alumni falling early, almost as though life is imitating art in its depiction ofAmerican decay. RIP.

just learned that lance had died, gutted

a great screen presence but goddamn that voice - one of the most distinctive, rich and wonderful voices in modern tv/cinema and gaming too

i first saw him in Fringe and that voice immediately grabbed you and imparted authority, gravitas, trust

truly bummed out by that news

adios dude, loved your work

reddebs · « **Reply #236 on:** March 19, 2023, 07:50:07 am »

I recognised him but haven't seen any of his work. Apparently he's also one of the main characters in the Destiny games which Paul plays every day.

RIP
