He had it all, but the years of coke and meth addiction and his marriage to Heidi Fleiss really sealed his fate. You can't drink and do meth for decades and expect it to work out. I liked his acting and the roles he played. Like Michael Madsen or Chris Penn, he always was interesting to watch. Hoping for the best.

Sexual abuse allegations
In November 2017, it was revealed by The Hollywood Reporter that Sizemore had been kicked off the set of the film Born Killers (then known as Piggy Banks) in 2003 for allegedly sexually molesting an 11-year-old actress when the film was in production near Salt Lake City, Utah.Sizemore denied any wrongdoing, and was allowed back on the film set after the Salt Lake County prosecutor's office decided against going forward with the case "due to witness and evidence problems.

In May 2018, the actress, by then 26 years old, filed a lawsuit against Sizemore, claiming that his alleged abuse caused longstanding emotional problems and seeking at least $3 million. A statement from Sizemore's publicist again denied the abuse, noting that nothing amiss was reported by a Born Killers staff member whose duty was supervising child actors on set.

On August 27, 2020, USA Today reported that a Utah Judge had dismissed the lawsuit. Sizemore again denied her claims, stating: "Beyond the loss of work and the pain and humiliation this has caused me and my family, the thought that an 11-year old girl would think I violated her, whether it be because she misconstrued some inadvertent touching when the director placed her upon my lap for the photo shoot or someone else instilled this idea in her head for whatever malicious, self-serving reasons, is what devastates me most."

Substance abuse and legal problems
Sizemore, who has battled drug addiction since he was 15, was convicted in 2003 of domestic violence against his girlfriend, the former "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss. Sizemore was sentenced to seven months in jail and four months in drug treatment for repeatedly failing drug tests while on probation on March 25, 2005.Sizemore was caught attempting to fake the urine test using a Whizzinator. Fleiss's restraining order against him had lapsed by the time they appeared together in the third season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2010.

On May 8, 2007, while still on probation for a previous drug conviction, Sizemore was arrested outside the Four Points Sheraton hotel in Bakersfield, California, for possession of methamphetamine.

In 2013, Sizemore appeared on an episode of the talk show Dr. Phil, titled "Explosive Relationships", where he discussed his rise to stardom and the subsequent fallout after his years of struggling with substance abuse and run-ins with law enforcement, as well as his relationship with Heidi Fleiss. Season 11 Episode 138 aired on April 18, 2013.

In early 2014, a recording emerged of Sizemore alleging that former girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley had an affair with Bill Clinton in 1998.Under threat of legal action, Sizemore admitted that the allegation was false. He elaborated that the recording was made without his knowledge during a time when he was battling substance abuse.

Sizemore had been approached to appear in the first season of the reality television series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, but declined. He met with Drew Pinsky about appearing in the second season, sitting in Pinsky's office for two hours, as Pinsky recounted, "sweating and completely high on drugs, talking a million miles an hour, acting like he was going to do it then deciding he didn't want to." Sizemore ultimately decided to appear in the show's third season, but did not appear in the season premiere. Because Heidi Fleiss was also in treatment on the show that season, both she and Sizemore had to consent to appear together. The season premiered in January 2010, with Sizemore's arrival at the clinic chronicled in the third episode, and his reunion with Fleiss was amicable. By the season's end, Fleiss lashed out at Sizemore at their graduation ceremony, taunting him that "the thought of being with [him] would turn women gay."

In February 2017, Sizemore pleaded no contest to two charges of domestic abuse for assaulting his girlfriend, for which he was sentenced to 36 months of summary probation, 30 days of community service, and a year-long domestic violence program; he was also subject to two protective orders associated with the charges, and ordered to pay various fees. The deal was made by Sizemore to avoid spending 210 days in jail.

In a 2013 interview, Sizemore claimed that he began to achieve sobriety after a stern interrogation from fellow actor Robert De Niro.De Niro personally checked Sizemore into rehabilitation.

On January 5, 2019, Sizemore was arrested for misdemeanor drug possession of "various illegal narcotics" in Burbank, California.






If he was a construction worker or worked at Burger King he's a POS. But since he an actor I'll put

Had it all? I'm not sure about that. I think Whitney Houston still owns that title.

Online sources are estimating his net worth at $500K. Not exactly someone I would say "had it all".

He had fame,most likely fortune and he pissed it all away on drugs and bad choices.So it's nobody's fault but his and not much sympathy from me.

Net worth. Who cares.
No man deserves to die this young.
He entertained us for some time. Did a great job.
Got a little caught up in sin.

You need to work on your comprehension skills. He was getting millions of dollars per film in the '90's. He did indeed 'have it all'. Then lost it. Simple as that.

People I know who are still 'experimenting' with drugs past their 20's tend to be life-long addicts. When you're doing meth in Bakersfield in your 50's, you're pretty much ****ed.
