Actor Sent to Hospital After Being Shot...With Fake Gun

If I am not mistaken, this actor was starring in Irony.  David Birrell, an actor in London, was rushed to the hospital this week after a replica gun shot him, sending debris into his face.  The accident happened when preparing a fake duel scene.  Mr. Birrell is expected to have a full recovery and will continue acting.

The rest from Yahoo!:

LONDON (Reuters) – West End actor David Birrell was injured during a London performance over the weekend and taken to hospital when a faulty replica stage gun misfired, sending debris into his eye.

The Donmar Warehouse, where Birrell was acting in Stephen Sondheim's "Passion," said on Monday the actor was recovering in hospital and was "in good spirits."

The accident occurred during the duel scene in Passion, in which Birrell plays Colonel Ricci.

The Donmar said the show would be canceled between Monday and Wednesday and the theater "hoped to resume performances from Thursday."

Be careful, it's fake!
