Temple alum Tom Sizemore’s breakout roles as a psycho cop in Natural Born Killers and a soldier under fire in Saving Private Ryan seem tame compared to his real-life personal dramas. There’s the drugs (heroin and meth). The booze. And, of course, the women. (His split with Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss led to a domestic abuse conviction he's appealing.) We didn't even get into the 44-year-old's homemade sex tapes before he had to cut our chat short, but thanks to his frank talk (and a cameo by Robert De Niro), Sizemore turned in another fine performance. Be forewarned: This is rated R.
