Ralph Richardson

His career has often been compared with that of Olivier, Alec Guinness and John Gielgud. In 2004, he starred in the movie Paparazzi. His film appearances included The Heiress, Richard III (playing Buckingham to Laurence Olivier's Richard), O Lucky Man!, Oh! What a Lovely War and Time Bandits. Sizemore, who had long battled drug addiction, was convicted in 2003 of assault and battery against his girlfriend, Heidi Fleiss. After World War II, he became co-director of the Vic, and also appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-on-Avon. It was cancelled mid-way through its first season. Thereafter he became one of the Old Vic's major stars. In 2002, Sizemore starred in the well-reviewed but short-lived television drama series Robbery Homicide Division.

Richardson was born in Cheltenham and made his West End début in 1926. Sizemore continued to play leading and character parts in many films, notably Saving Private Ryan, HBO's Witness Protection, Pearl Harbor, and Black Hawk Down. Sir Ralph David Richardson (December 19, 1902 - 1983) was an English actor, one of a group of theatrical knights of the mid-20th century who, though more closely associated with the stage, did their best to make the transition to film. His first major leading role was in 1997's The Relic. A succession of well-received supporting parts followed. One of his first film roles was in Oliver Stone's Born on the Fourth of July in 1989.

He subsequently moved to New York City to pursue an acting career. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Sizemore attended Wayne State University and earned a Master's Degree in theater from Temple University in 1986. Tom Sizemore (born September 29, 1961) is an American film and television actor.
