Birth Name: Thomas Edward Sizemore, Jr.

Place of Birth: Detroit, Michigan

Date of Birth: November 29, 1961

Ethnicity: English, German, Scottish, French, possibly other

Tom Sizemore is an American actor.

He has English, German, Scottish, and French ancestry.

In his book autobiography, Tom states that his maternal grandfather was the illegitimate son of a white plantation owner, John Oliver Chennault, and a Native American woman, Nina. It is not clear if Tom’s Native American ancestry has been verified. Tom’s maternal grandfather is listed as “White” on the 1940 U.S. Census, but that does not mean that he did not have non-white ancestry.

Tom’s paternal grandparents were Blevins Sizemore and Vina King.

Tom’s maternal grandparents were Samuel Schannault (the son of John Oliver Chennault and Nina/Effie Tompkins) and Mildred Dean Hayes (the daughter of Robert Leslie Hayes and Lonetta “Nettie” Anderson).
