Actor Tom Sizemore is sued by a stuntman named Steve De Castro over car crash on the set of "Shooter".
The actor is sued by De Castro for running him over at the Agua Dulce Airport when filming USA's series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The stuntman also names Viacom and Paramount as defendants, slamming producers for not firing the actor after the accident.
"Sizemore became intoxicated knowing he would operate a motor vehicle and then operated said motor vehicle in a reckless, dangerous manner," De Castro claims in his lawsuit.
The stuntman reportedly suffers injuries that left him "disabled" and "disordered" both internally and externally.
De Castro is suing for negligence, battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Neither Sizemore nor "Shooter" has commented on the matter, but the show led by Ryan Phillippe is scheduled to premiere November 15 after a couple of delays.
