Ouch! Poor guy! I would feel funny trusting the props department after that.

Holy cow! That's terrifying. @_@

I'd be gun-shy around prop weapons after that.

No pun intended, of course.

I say: props to the guy for showing up onstage again so quickly afterwards! (Dull, safe props this time.)

*Facepalm* I didn't even realize what I'd said there. XD

Yeah, I say props, too. He must have concrete nerves (I almost said nerves of steel, but caught myself).

This article was everywhere. Gruesome as it is, it's probably been good for the theater business-wise.

They should give him a cut.

:o)

It said in another article about the same incident from a different site that the actor is scheduled to play Werther from "The Sorrows of Young Werther" next, and he has to shoot himself in the head for that one. I really hope that the gun in that is safer than the knife in this play!
