I just took a year off and I went back to New York and didn't do anything. I didn't work. What happened to Brandon Lee was a tragic accident and I don't think you ever get over something like that.

[on the accidental shooting of Brandon Lee] It absolutely wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't even supposed to be handling the gun until we started shooting the scene and the director changed it.
Works and lives in Los Angeles, California. [August 2002]

Involved in the shooting accident on the set of The Crow (1994) that resulted in the death of Brandon Lee. In character, and as scripted, he discharged a gun at Lee during a scene, unaware that the gun had been improperly prepared with a live round. Though he was in no way at fault, he was so devastated over the incident that he took a year long sabbatical from acting.
