Saving Private Ryan actor Tom Sizemore has been hospitalized following a brain aneurysm, his spokesperson, Charles Lago, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Sizemore was found at his Los Angeles home Sunday around 2 a.m. unconscious after he had collapsed following the medical emergency. After he was found, the actor was transported to an L.A. hospital, where he is now currently under observation in the intensive care unit. Sizemore’s rep says his family is “aware and waiting for updates.”

“He is currently in critical condition and it’s a wait-and-see situation,” Lago said. “There are no future updates at this time.”

Sizemore is best known for his portrayal of Sgt. Mike Horvath in the Oscar-winning World War II film directed by Steven Spielberg. The film, which starred Tom Hanks, garnered four Academy Awards, including best director, with an additional six nominations, including best picture, during the 1999 ceremony.

The 61-year-old performer, who became notable for his roles in ’90s actioners, has also appeared in the Oliver Stone-directed, Quentin Tarantino-written Natural Born Killers, which also starred Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr. and Tommy Lee Jones; a year later in Michael Mann’s heist film Heat; the Ben Affleck-led war drama Pearl Harbor and Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down, which were both released in 2001.

A guest appearance in the latest season of Netflix hit Cobra Kai as well as a recurring role in Showtime’s 2017 revival of David Lynch’s cult classic Twin Peaks are among his more recent work.

In 2000, Sizemore garnered a best actor in a miniseries or motion picture made for TV nomination at the Golden Globes for his role in the Richard Pearce-directed Witness Protection. The series was based on Robert Sabbag’s 1996 New York Times Magazine article, “The Invisible Family.”

Updated 4:56 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 19: Corrected the name of Heat director Michael Mann.
