Actor Tom Sizemore was hospitalized after suffering a brain aneurysm Saturday, according to his representative, Charles Lago.

The 61-year-old "is currently in critical condition and it’s a wait and see situation," Lago said.

"His family is aware and waiting for updates," Lago added. "There are no further updates at this time."...

There's a scene in Michael Mann's 1995 crime epic "Heat" where a crew of bank robbers, led by Robert De Niro's Neil McCauley, learns they've been made by a police task force, headed up by Al Pacino's Vincent Hanna.

Do they stay or go? Meaning, do they continue with their planned heist, or do they walk away, knowing in advance it's all headed south?

Neil goes around his team, asking his partners what they think, where their heads are at, whether they should walk. Michael Cheritto, played with cool, low simmering energy by Tom Sizemore, is unfazed by the prospect of the mission going up in flames. In fact, that raises the stakes, and to him it makes things a little bit more exciting...

He was a brilliant actor. He knew how to choose roles that fit his acting style.

I used to watch Celebrity Rehab years ago. I saw the episodes when he was in Dr. Drew's rehab. He had very serious addiction issues, had been through rehab several times before. He seemed like someone whose addiction problems were biological, like something very difficult to control. He was very serious about his career and it was his main motivation to get clean again. It seemed like his personality was very different when he was using or going through withdrawal.

I'd also add he wasn't a warm or friendly person.
