Tom Sizemore Wasn’t Supposed to Drive During ‘Shooter’ Stuntman Injury, Report Says

“Mr. Sizemore improvised at the end of the scene and drove away in his car,” Cal/OSHA investigation finds

Actor Tom Sizemore wasn’t supposed to drive during an incident that left a stuntman injured on the USA series “Shooter,” but he took things off-script and threw the SUV into reverse anyway, the Associated Press reports.

Citing papers from a Cal/OSHA investigation, the AP reported that Sizemore wasn’t supposed to move the vehicle.
