Renowned American actor Tom Sizemore is celebrated for his remarkable roles in various films; however, his struggles with addiction have often overshadowed his career achievements.
Despite his involvement in impressive movies, Sizemore’s battle with substance abuse has been a dominant narrative.
Previously, in an interview, Sizemore recounted an incident where he clashed with co-star Val Kilmer on set.
Nonetheless, the actor later clarified that they managed to resolve their differences amicably.

Reports surfaced about Kilmer’s displeasure regarding the shipping of Sizemore’s exercise equipment during production in Australia, further straining their relationship.
In his memoir, By Some Miracle I Made It Out of There, Sizemore detailed a heated argument with Kilmer that escalated into a shouting match.
Allegedly, Sizemore threw a 50-pound weight at Kilmer in the heat of the moment, narrowly missing him.
Following this incident, a producer intervened to prevent further escalation.
During an interview, Sizemore expressed regrets about the disagreement, stating, “I’ve never gone to another planet with you again!”
However, he later mentioned that they reconciled their differences peacefully.
Tom Sizemore sadly passed away on March 3, 2023, at 61 years old.
