Actors have a pretty good gig, most of the time.
They get to travel the world, rub elbows with other A-listers, and live the kinds of luxurious
lifestyles most can only dream of.
But it's not all sunshine and roses — and sometimes a day at the office means some serious
bodily injuries for actors.
Norman Reedus
Daryl Dixon might have a reputation for being the biggest badass in the apocalypse, but
according to what Norman Reedus told People's Choice, that's not really him at all.
"If you throw a spider at me I'll probably just cry.
I mean, I'm kind of a wimp."
His difficulties in the bravado department aren't reflected in his dedication to making
it look good on screen, of course.
Reedus has managed to sustain an impressive list of injuries while filming The Walking
Dead.
Among them are a couple of black eyes, courtesy of his iconic crossbow, and a major gash on
his arm that came along while filming the show's fifth season.
While filming the scene where the survivors barricade a barn door to keep the walkers
out, he sliced his arm so badly that his costars said they saw it open, just before blood started
pouring out.
Not every injury has such a gnarly history though.
He also sliced his hand open on… a vending machine.
As he later joked to Entertainment Weekly, "Why am I always getting hurt?
I get hurt all the time.
I feel like I should have like football pads on at all times, even when I'm just walking
around."
And let's not forget about the ghastly gashes he's received from fan encounters.
He recounted one particularly dangerous fan interaction to Jimmy Kimmel:
"She kinda started to shake, like that.
And then she went up like this and sort of howled.
Then she came down and bit me on the breast."
Careful, Norman.
Kristin Chenoweth
Some projects seem to lend themselves to endangering their cast and crew more than others, but
The Good Wife isn't likely to be on anyone's list of potentially deadly shows.
actress Kristin Chenoweth came in with plans for a recurring role on the show.
But when a piece of the overhead lighting rig fell on her, she suffered a host of injuries
that forced her to leave the show and concentrate on her recovery and physical therapy.
"I'm standing there waiting for action.
I have a Blackberry, a phone for my character.
And…
I woke up in an ambulance."
Her list of injuries is nothing short of terrifying.
"I cracked my nose in two places and I cracked three teeth, and I had a five inch skull fracture.
And obviously, I re-injured my neck."
Over the next few years, Chenoweth found that more and more medical issues with her ribs
and hips developed.
And immediately after the accident, she even had difficulties putting sentences together,
and she has continued troubles with multi-tasking.
Rose Leslie
You might think appearing on Game of Thrones would be more dangerous than, say, working
on The Good Wife spin-off, The Good Fight.
But in the case of Rose Leslie, you'd be wrong.
The actress broke her toe filming on an episode of The Good Fight and had only herself to
blame for the incident.
She told E! Online of her injury,
"This was purely down to me.
This was my kind of like ignorance, in thinking that I could turn and pivot on a little dime.
Of course, when I attempted it on camera, I then completely whacked it into a table."
Lucy Lawless
In 1996, Lucy Lawless was on top of the world — and climbing to the top of the television
ratings, too, with Xena: Warrior Princess.
By the second season, cast and crew were put to the test when they were sent scrambling
to figure out a way to work around an injury so bad that Lawless wasn't just unable to
fight, she needed to learn how to walk again.
While filming a skit for The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, she fell off her horse and
fractured her pelvis in several places.
When she spoke with the LA Times in the March following the accident, she was already up,
walking, kicking, and ready to get back in the saddle.
While she credited a tough upbringing with teaching her how to fight and how not to cry,
she also said that the accident left its mark in more than just a physical way.
She said,
"I'm ready to get back on the horse.
There's no medical reason why I can't.
It's just psychological now.
[...] but I can't not do everything, so I'm going to get back on that horse.
It's important for me to give myself that challenge.
Otherwise, I'm forever going to be frightened."
Halle Berry
In 2003, Oscar winner Halle Berry suffered an injury that shut down production on her
film Gothika for a week.
Her arm broke while filming a traditional, non-stunt scene.
According to the Warner Bros. statement on the accident, it was simply that, well, "Her
arm didn't go the way it was supposed to."
In 2012, though, The Movie Network talked to a source that suggested there was more
to it than that.
Apparently, Berry hadn't forgiven Robert Downey Jr., the actor who had been holding onto her,
when her arm broke.
According to their source, she felt that he hadn't sufficiently apologized for the incident
— which he said was a complete accident — and still tends to avoid him.
Talk about a tough break.
Bruce Campbell
There are few films that capture the heart of a cult classic quite like Evil Dead.
While watching, it's impossible to forget that the entire thing was essentially created
by a group of friends just goofing around and having a good time.
There's a long standing rumor that Bruce Campbell actually had his jaw broken while filming
the original movie, and according to him, it's absolutely not true.
He told the crowd at Dallas Comic Con, quote, "I love the fact that people still believe
that."
He was, however, actually harmed during filming of the TV spin-off Ash vs. Evil Dead.
He told Entertainment Weekly that, just before the season finale debuted, he had blown out
his hamstring two weeks before shooting wrapped.
He said,
"If you've ever blown a hamstring, you know they call it hamstrung for a reason.
You can't walk.
So, to do fight scenes for two weeks when you can't walk — now you're living the dream!"
"There must be some spell I can say to undo all this.
The other first thing I gotta do, is some cardio.
Because my heart is jackhammering like a quarterback on prom night."
Ellen Burstyn
1973's The Exorcist is still a legendary horror favorite, and for good reason.
It was ground-breakingly gory, and Ellen Burstyn's pained performance as the mom of demon-possessed
Regan was incredibly memorable.
Especially for Burstyn herself.
For a scene where Burstyn was to be thrown against a wall, she was equipped with a harness
and rig that was supposed to yank her off her feet.
After getting one take, Burstyn says she not only protested the idea of doing another one,
but insisted she was going to get hurt.
When she went to the director to tell him she wasn't comfortable doing it again, he
told her they'd go easy on her.
When she turned away, though, Friedkin reportedly told the stuntman on the other end of her
harness to "Give it to her this time."
"I screamed in horrendous pain.
Billy motioned for Owen to tilt the camera down on me."
The pain on her face in that scene is real, and the ambulance was called after the cameras
stopped rolling.
Unsurprisingly, Burstyn was furious that the crew finished filming her reaction shot before
calling her paramedics.
Tippi Hedren and Melanie Griffith
During the filming of the 1981 movie Roar, there were a litany of injuries caused by
its supporting cast of 132 animals, including lions, tigers, and a 10,000-pound elephant.
A whopping 72 people were injured on the set, including star Tippi Hedren, who first rose
to fame in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.
By the end of shooting, she had suffered a broken leg that had been crushed by the elephant
and went gangrenous, as well as scalp wounds.
Additionally, her daughter, Melanie Griffith, was mauled so badly that she needed facial
reconstruction surgery to fix the damage.
After that experience, it's no wonder movies like Life of Pi relied on some CGI to make
their human-tiger interactions happen on-screen.
Vincent D'Onofrio
Sometimes, actors will go to extremes for a role.
And Vincent D'Onofrio has turned extremes into an art form.
After being cast in Full Metal Jacket, he rushed to gain 70 pounds for the part of the
portly Private Pyle.
"What is that, Private Pyle?!"
"Sir!
A jelly donut, sir!"
"A jelly donut?!"
"Sir, yes sir!"
Going from fit and athletic to putting on that much weight in that amount of time did
some damage.
In a 1987 New York Times interview, he revealed just what it did to him.
The change was so drastic that he found himself having trouble doing even the most mundane
of tasks, like tying his shoes.
When it came to shooting the scenes where the Marine recruits were going through boot
camp, it was as physically grueling in real life as it looked on screen.
During the filming of one of the obstacle courses, D'Onofrio blew his knee out so badly
he needed to have surgical reconstruction done.
A year later, though, he was back to running six miles a day.
Charlize Theron
Long before she became an Oscar winner, Charlize Theron was still known for her work in the
action genre.
On the set of her film Aeon Flux, she was injured so badly that she came close to paralysis.
During a backflip stunt, which she had to do while wearing platform shoes, she slipped,
fell, and landed on her neck.
The fall herniated a disc near her spinal cord, and production stopped for eight weeks.
Originally, doctors had suspected she might be at least partially paralyzed.
While she was back at work surprisingly quickly, she later said she'd learned a valuable lesson.
She said,
"Now I know there's a time and a place.
You have to be smart about it and I've definitely come to a place in my career where I would
be the first to say, without feeling guilty or not badass enough, 'You know what?
I don't need to do this.'
It's wise because I felt guilty for shutting down production 10 days into shooting for
eight weeks."
Erik Estrada
Chips star Erik Estrada has his long-lived buddy cop series to thank for both his international
fame and a near-death incident on the set.
While filming the show in 1979, Estrada was filming a ride-around scene that was slow
and nothing like the high-speed chases the show was known for.
But Estrada crashed, and was sent to the UCLA Medical Center with fractured ribs and possible
damage to his heart.
Not only had he crashed the 500-pound motorcycle he'd been riding, but he'd been hit by the
car they were supposed to be going around.
The final injury toll was a broken breastbone, a few broken ribs, and a broken wrist.
Luckily, he survived the incident, and according to him, that was an absolute choice on his
part — he later claimed to have had an out-of-body experience.
"I think maybe I was grabbed by my guardian angel and I was given a choice if I wanted
to stay or get back in the body."
Jim Caviezel
When Jim Caviezel auditioned for Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, he actually thought
he was up for a part in a surfing movie.
But rather than carting a surfboard around a sunny set, he ended up carrying a cross
— and enduring a few harrowing injuries during his performance as Jesus in his final
days.
The role required being on the receiving end of some very brutal beatings and torture scenes.
Along the way, Caviezel came down with some frightening injuries.
He suffered a lung infection, pneumonia, a skin infection and headaches from the makeup,
a brush with hypothermia, and a dislocated shoulder.
Not only that, but he also had a brush with the wrath of God — well, sort of.
He was actually struck by lightning during the shoot.
Wonder what could've brought that on...
"I hope to be struck by… well, let's put it another way."
