Vienna theater actor possible target for murder:
An actor slit his throat on stage when the prop knife for his suicide scene turned out to be a real one.
Daniel Hoevels, 30, slumped over with blood pouring from his neck while the audience broke into applause at the “special effect”. Police are investigating whether the knife was a mistake or a murder plot. They are questioning the rest of the cast, and backstage hands with access to props; they will also carry out DNA tests.
Instantly reminded me of the ending of The Leading Man, a little seen indie from 1996 starring Jon Bon Jovi, Anna Galiena, Lambert Wilson and Thandie Newton. Anyone else see that movie?
