Sizemore had a degree from Temple; I had not known this. He was a terrible addict, a real POS when under the influence (This I did know.) I liked him most when he played against type, as in
Heart and Souls and
Saving Private Ryan.
This is a good article, very informative. My guess is that the writer took his time with this article, as Sizemore had been brain-dead for a week or so.
During his career, the prolific actor inhabited an array of troubled characters. Offscreen, he was one himself.
