No, it was very tough, but I was very heartened by the fact that I was able to do it.
I haven't done anything that physical probably since I ran from the police in 2006 (Laughs). It was tough, man, the first couple of days. Chad was really, really shy, but we ended up becoming really good friends and buddies. Tom Sizemore: No, I didn't, but they were such good guys. Were all these guys on board when you joined? Did you have a lot of time to get to know these guys before the shoot?
The cast is really great here, with younger guys like Chad Collins and veterans like Vinnie Jones and Neal McDonough. I was getting back on my feet, and he was kind enough to give me a shot here. We did Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. I was with (director) Don Michael Paul, who I've been old friends with. As for research, I looked at my notes from Saving Private Ryan, how the guys behaved and what not. I knew it was going to be a tough shoot in Bulgaria. I know a lot about the Battle of the Bulge, and a lot about World War II from Saving Private Ryan. Tom Sizemore: I played the game a couple of times. With a project like this, that has historical elements and is based on a video game, did you do any sort of research to take on this character? Take a look at what Tom Sizemore had to say in a very memorable interview.
In our wide-ranging conversation, we spoke about the extreme conditions in Bulgaria, how he surprised himself with being able to pull off the action scenes, working with a diverse cast such as Chad Collins, Vinnie Jones, and Neal McDonough, and even more candid topics such as his sobriety (he has been clean since May 2009). The story takes place during World War II's infamous Battle of the Bulge, following a group of soldiers engaging on a dangerous mission to stop Adolf Hitler from building an atomic weapon. He portrays Dean Ranson in this World War II drama, based on the popular video game of the same name, that mixes history with fiction in unique and wonderful ways. I recently had the honor of speaking with this talented actor about his new film Company of Heroes, debuting on Blu-ray and DVD February 26th. He hasn't stopped working ever since with more than 20 films either in the can or in post production waiting for release. After cutting his teeth with smaller roles in movies such as Lock Up and Born on the 4th of July in the late 1980s, Tom Sizemore broke onto the scene in full force in the 1990s with a slew of well-received roles in films such as Passenger 57, Wyatt Earp, Heat, Natural Born Killers, and Saving Private Ryan, to name just a few.
