LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - March 7, 2008) - Acclaimed actor Tom Sizemore has joined the
cast of the actor/director Matt Schulze's new action/adventure Web and TV
series "The Acquirer," it was announced today by Schulze, who stars as
series lead Lucien Hayes, and directs. When master-thief Lucien Hayes
(Schulze) learns that his fiancée has been kidnapped and is being held as
ransom for one of the most valuable artifacts on earth, he finds himself
propelled down an unbelievable path of deceit, danger, and intrigue --
leading him to the ultimate heist. Sizemore will co-star in the explosive
action-thriller as Arthur, a mysterious ex-CIA agent who serves as the
liaison between Hayes and the shadowy clients for whom The Acquirer is
retained.
"I am extremely happy to welcome Tom as a series regular on 'The
Acquirer,'" said Schulze. "He's a great talent who brings intensity and
determination to every role he plays -- the kind of actor that directors
and actors alike appreciate working with. We shot our first scene with Tom
and I know that fans are going to be thrilled to see him back on the screen
again." In addition to wrapping production on the first episode of "The
Acquirer," which Schulze shot mostly on location in Paris, the director is
currently in pre-production on the second installment, which will shoot in
and around San Francisco. Following that, Schulze and his "The Acquirer"
production team will head to Rome for lensing of Episode Three.
"I've been away from filming for awhile now, and it feels great getting
back in front of the cameras again," Sizemore said. "Matt is a powerful
presence in this series, both in front of and behind the camera, and I am
truly grateful that he and the Briggs Digital Media family have welcomed me
to 'The Acquirer' so openly. I plan on giving them -- and my fans -- the
best I have to offer. I'm back, and I'm having a great time."
Born in Detroit, Sizemore began his screen career in the late 1980s and
rose to prominence playing notable tough guy roles in the 1990s for some of
Hollywood's most acclaimed directors. From roles portraying Bat Masterson
in Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp" to Detective Jack Scagnetti in Oliver
Stone's "Natural Born Killers" to Sergeant Horvath in Spielberg's "Saving
Private Ryan," Sizemore excelled at every assignment. He went on to
portray a psychotic paramedic in Martin Scorsese's "Bringing Out the Dead,"
and another leading role in Ridley Scott's "Black Hawk Down." For
television, Sizemore starred as John Gotti in the telefilm "Witness to the
Mob," and starred as another mobster in "Witness Protection," for which he
earned a Golden Globe nomination. With a total of more than 75 films to
his credit, some of Sizemore's other memorable work includes roles in
"Pearl Harbor," "Red Planet," "The Relic," Strange Days" and "Heart and
Souls."
