Just saw this on our local news:

(http://www.metal-archives.com/images/7/9/9/0/7990_artist.jpg)

Michael McKean, the actor best known to metal heads as David St. Hubbins of "Spinal Tap" fame, was seriously injured when he was hit by a car while crossing a Manhattan street today. He's got a broken leg and was in critical condition for a while, though this report sez he's now been upgraded to stable condition.

Talk about WOW.  I can't believe it.  I hope he will be okay.  I love that guy!   Holy shat.   MICHAEL McKEAN.  He was "Lenny" for one credit.  Huge talent.
