Seth Green Caught in Near-Fatal Incident on Movie Set

Tuesday 3 August 2004, by Webmaster

Actor Seth Green was left questioning his daredevil attitude, after he faced death on the set of his upcoming comedy Without A Paddle. The 30-year-old screen star, who stars in the movie alongside Matthew Lillard and Dax Shepard, was on the New Zealand set filming a scene where his character gets knocked out of a canoe into raging waters - but in real life he ended up being caught in Class 5 rapids. Director Steven Brill says, "Seth is kind of fearless. He jumped into a tide pool that he couldn’t get out of and almost got sucked under a rock. The safety guy jumped in to save him on a WaveRunner, but that guy fell off the WaveRunner, and it sank and also got sucked into the tide pool." In the end, both Green and the safety worker were rescued unhurt - but very shaken. Green recalls, "It was just a matter of holding my breath and acting the whole time."
