Briggs Digital Media to Launch New Web
Series March 21 at www.cinsay.com
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."
