Actor Slits Throat and Real Blood Runs on an Austrian Stage!
Watch your back, actors!
This weekend, a thespian named Daniel Hoeveles , who is starring in the Vienna, Austria, production of the play Mary Stuart , was the unfortunate victim of what's presumed to be an evil switcharoo, according to a report.
A fake knife he uses in a suicide scene was apparently switched out for the real thing!!!!!
He slit his throat on stage with the real knife and slumped over with blood pouring from his neck while the audience broke into applause at the "special effect".
It wasn't until he didn't get up to take a bow that any one noticed something was wrong!!
Luckly, Hoevels missed a major artery. The doctor who treated him said, "Just a little bit deeper and he would have been drowning in his own blood."
Police are questioning everyone working on the play and will be carrying DNA tests.
Maybe it was the understudy?!
Crazy!
We thought LA actors were ruthless!

Wow, that sounds like the plot of an Agatha Christie novel. Hope the actor is OK.
OMG! that's crazy! poor guy
ghaaastly!
Thanks for making me sick, Perez.
I thought this was going to be about Demi Lovato! She's already slitting her wrists!

TALK ABOUT SOME VICIOUS QUEENS!
.
HOW "ALL ABOUT EVE!"
.
At least there will be a job opening for a new prop guy.
MAN ACTORS LIVE THE "THUG" LIFE! HARDCORE!
.
.
SIGNED - MASSAGED UDDERS DURING THE ELECTION! LOL
Somebody's going to be in a shitload of trouble when they find out who did that. And they will find out.
Oh my god, thats so sad!
how do you put a knife to your throat and not feel the sharpness? guy sounds like an idiot.
yikes!
Let's depend on karma here shall we? creepy, poor dude!!!
Re: mamajud – LOL! I c
Re: mamajud – LOL!
the story goes like this: the original knife was broken. they bought a real knife as a replacement. a prop man had to prepare it for the use in the play - he forgot this
oh shiiiiit
poor guy
that is so creepy..i betchya there are going to be some jokes made bout it tho…
wow imagine being in that show?? as an audience watcher
Please tell me this is not real.
And please tell me the video will not be plastered all over the web tomorrow.
This was an episode of Monk
the one called "Monk and the Theatre"
holy shit thats crazyyy
AAAAWWWWSSSSSOOOOOMMMMEEEE
That's frickin awsome…………..
maybe they cut the budget for special effects due to the economy and now actors have to do their own…
…and he didn't et the memo…
Re: Milky Milky-Ambassador to Canada – Hey Milky Milky, it had to be someone jealous of him or someone that owed him moola.
Cash will get you killed, so will a jealous demon from hell. HAHA
wow….that's some crazy shit!
OMG…eerily similar to an episode of MONK…ruth. less.
Piggy why not posting it with a warning and not having that hard to see pic of him… idiot!
Omg Austrians are evil! The last article you featured about Austrians was about that monster that kept his daughter locked underneath his house for over 20 years and fathered her children. Coincidence??? I think not.
:O
thats scaryy!!
..Sounds like they need to call Jessica Fletcher, or Columbo. It seems they would be able to solve this mystery!
omg fucken shit how awful
That is seriously disturbing. sounds like something that would happen in a movie, not real life
Yuck. Poor guy.
That's some crazy shit! How do you not know the difference between a real knife and a fake one, though? Not that I'm trying to blame the victim. I'm just sayin'.
OMJ! That's like what happened in Monk! Crazy that it could happen for real! Thank God he survived!
holy toledo! thank goodness the bloke didn't die. now that would have been a tragedy. let that be a lesson to every thespian–check your weapons before you use them! never know when a fake one might be the real thing! remember that's how brandon lee died. he thought he was shooting blanks from a gun, but there were actually bullets and he basically shot himself to death. of course there's been a bunch of theories, but the fact remains, a fake action became reality.
OMG! That is awful…someone sure wants him dead!
omg thats insane!
jeez that poor guy.
oh my god. that's horrible… who would do that to someone?
i hope he gets better =]
Re: DLR in Canada – I thought that Brandon held the gun against his head and even though they were blanks they killed him because it was such close range? That is how I remember the case anyway. It was an accident rather than anything sinister.
ill bet it was the understudy
.
in the conservatory….
.
with a knife (and a lead pipe)….
I think someone has seen one too many old Columbo reruns!
damn you think people would be careful on sets with prop weapons after what happened to bruce lees son…anyways i think this is kinda suspicious…how would you not notice it was a real knife…maybe he wanted some attention?
that's craziness!
Someone took the series finale of Oz to the next level, by imitating it in real life.
That would really suck. Ouch.
This is def a WTF moment….
can you imagine being in the audience? Thats fucking nuts. I bet he has a sweet scar now though… and a trippy story behind it!
Hi, reality? Jessica Fletcher called and said she wants her plot back
Same thing happend on the Dexter set.
YEAHH BIRNG IN MISS MARPLE!
Bummer, that is harsh …… poor guy
That is soooo fucked! I cant believe that..so fucked…
OoOoOh DAMN!
O_O
Gah. That sucks.
It was actually an accident, the actors are originally from a german theatre in hamburg,the fake knife they usually used was broken.
the prop lady from the vienna theatre bought a new knife and forgot to grind it.
and there is no dna testing and there never was.
this is no mystery. gossip can be false in the end, but this is just pure disinformation to make a boring story entertaining and get some more hits on the page to make more money. i wonder if there is any info here thats actually true
FAIL buddy
Cut throat business to be in.???????
say what?
