Sizemore was born in Detroit, Michigan, where his mother was a member of the ombudsman’s staff and his father worked as a lawyer and philosophy professor.
His early roles included appearances in Oliver Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July in 1989, as well as Point Break and Natural Born Killers.
He also starred in the independent drama Love is Like That in 1993 with actress and model Pamela Gidley and had a supporting role in Kevin Costner’s Wyatt Earp as Bat Masterson in 1994. For his work in Heart and Souls in 1993, Sizemore was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Mike Harvath in Saving Private Ryan in 1999, the same year he had his first major starring role as Detective Vincent D’Agosta in 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 became a father of twins, his career came crashing down with the release of Tom Sizemore Sex Scandal, a sex tape of him with multiple women.
