Tom Sizemore’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Tom Sizemore net worth: Tom Sizemore is an American actor and producer who has a net worth of $3 million. Tom Sizemore has accumulated his net worth through his many acting roles in television and films, as well as voice acting in videos and as producer of The Genius Club. Born Thomas Edward “Tom” Sizemore, Jr. on November 29, 1961, in Detroit, Michigan, Sizemore rose two prominence a decade after he made his film and television debuts in the late 1980s. The roles that made him stand out from the crowd include True Romance (1993), Wyatt Earp (1994) and Natural Born Killers (1994). It’s true that playing tough guys on screen brought him fame, but playing the same role in real life has brought him nothing but trouble. In 1995, he was sent to drug rehab when his Heat co-star Robert De Niro staged an intervention and propelled the actor down the road of sobriety for a while. After this period, a very fertile part of his career followed with strong turns as John Gotti in the miniseries Witness to the Mob (NBC, 1998) and as a loyal soldier in Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan (1998). But Sizemore’s work was once again disrupted with a series of legal entanglements involving domestic abuse and possession of illegal drugs. On top of everything, he went through the humility of a sex tape being leaked on the net, while complaining he didn’t see a penny for his work. Throughout the 2000s, he continued to appear in movies like Dreamcatcher (2003), Paparazzi (2004) as well as on TV series like Dr. Vegas. However, by the time he joined the cast of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew (VH1, 2008- ), Sizemore’s life was more of a mess than a success. His most recent projects are the 2011 feature movie Exit Strategy and CBS crime drama series Hawaii Five-O (2011-2012).
