Tom Sizemore’s successful film career was often marred by issues in his personal life that included addiction, domestic violence and incarceration.
In 2017, Sizemore wrote a memoir, By Some Miracle, I Made it Out of There, in which he shared stories of his troubled life. He shared a story living in his car for two years and asking fellow actor Jack Nicholson for $10 million when his drug addiction was at its worst.
“I’m asking certain people for money. I asked Jack Nicholson, ‘Can you loan me $10 million?’ and he said, ‘In a word, no,’” Sizemore shared.
In 2003, Sizemore was sentenced to six months in jail for physically abusing his then-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss in 2003. He was sentenced to 16 months in prison in 2007 for violating his probation, Yahoo! reports.
