Actor Ike Barinholtz broke his neck in a terrifying accident while shooting a fall stunt on an upcoming film, The Pact, People can exclusively report.

The impact of his fall from a high platform on set five weeks ago left The Mindy Project star with two fractured cervical vertebrae in his neck.

“We knew something was wrong right away,” Barinholtz tells People of the moments after the fall last month. “It was scary and was touch and go for a while.”

“Luckily, I’ve had great doctors who have really helped me with my recovery,” he adds. “I do as they tell me.

The summer of 2015 could have been the summer of Judy Greer, with the long-time character actress snagging roles in massive tentpole features like “Jurassic World,” “Ant-Man,” the “Entourage” movie and “Tomorrowland,” but what stood out most about Greer’s turns in those blockbusters was just how little they did to capitalize on her talent or charms. In three of those films, Greer was cast as a mostly ancillary mother character, while “Entourage” didn’t even bother to give her role a name (she was just “Casting Director”).

Instead of offering the actress, a two-decade veteran of the industry who has worked in both film and television, a chance to make a well-earned splash on a giant scale, she was mostly pushed to the background. That was nothing new for Greer, but even as she’s struggled from a phenomenon described by Scott Meslow of The Week (which asked, “How did...

"In good company...

They’ve been trying to make things work for awhile now, and it seems Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly are finally calling it quits on their marriage.

The “In Good Company” hunk and his lady released a statement to TMZ, officially announcing their plans for divorce- "After careful consideration, we have decided to end our 12-year marriage. The decision was made amicably and with mutual respect toward one another."

Additionally, said the Quaids, "We will always remain great friends and devoted partners in raising our children.” Dennis and Kim have eight-year-old twins named Thomas and Zoe.

Marvel has released a new featurette for Captain America: Civil War. It’s called “In Good Company,” and it focuses on the heroines of the story. It also features new footage of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, and Emily VanCamp as Agent 13. The actresses also discuss their characters in the film. When talking about Black Widow and where her loyalties lie, Johansson says:

“Natasha is a bit torn between either side. With Cap, they really have a relationship where she wants to reason with him, but she sees Tony as a path of least resistance.”

As for Agent 13, Van Camp says she’s a little more sassy and gets in on some action, and when talking about Scarlet Witch, Olsen say that she’s terrified of her own abilities. I’m really excited that we are going to get to see these continue to grow in the McU…...

Lines will be drawn when Captain America: Civil War comes out next month, leading many of the heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to clash over the new government legislation regulating superheroes. For the latest featurette on the blockbuster, the spotlight is turned on the three leading heroines, Black Widow, Agent 13 and Scarlet Witch, and what role they’ll play in the movie. Take a look! With some new footage sprinkled alongside scenes from previous trailers, the latest Captain America: Civil War featurette, titled "In Good Company," features interviews with Scarlett Johansson, Emily VanCamp and Elizabeth Olsen talking about how their characters are participating in the Phase Three kick-off story. First up, Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, who’s been a major player in the McU since Iron Man 2. Although she and Steve Rogers developed a close relationship in Captain America: The Winter ...

Exclusive: The Match Factory is working again with Belgian director Sam Garbarski on international sales for his new feature film, starring Moritz Bleibtreu and Alba Rohrwacher.

Described by Garbarski as “a historical comedy, a comedy of life, more moving than humorous because it’s true”, Bye-Bye Germany (working title) reunites with the Cologne-based sales company after their previous collaboration on the Locarno 2013 title Vijay And I.

The film will also see him reunited with German actor Moritz Bleibtreu, the star of Vijay and I, as a Holocaust survivor with a remarkable secret.

The international cast includes Alba Rohrwacher as an Italian Jew with a Harvard degree who hunts down Nazis, Hungarian actor Pal Macsai (‘Terapia’), Anatole Taubmann (Quantum Of Solace), La-based Israeli actor Mark Ivanir (Schindler’s List, ‘Homeland’), the German Film Award-winning Swiss actor Joel Basman (We Are Young. We Are Strong.) and Berlin-based, Turkish-born Tim Seyfi (‘Spiral’).

Despite Hand of God‘s Old Testament-esque title… and the presence of a pastor as one of its main characters… and the fact that its protagonist thinks a higher power is communicating with him via signs and wonders… the new Amazon drama is no holy roller, cast member Garret Dillahunt says.

“It’s oddly not a show about religion as much as it is about man’s interpretation of it, or twisting it to his own ends,” says the Raising Hope alum, who plays Kd, a former white supremacist whose introduction to Christianity hasn’t completely bled him of his violent tendencies.

Chicago – Actor Sam Eliott will make you smile. The distinctive voice, his famous mustache and his character presence in a film or TV show increases any potential in the production. He recently was in Chicago with director Paul Weitz, as they teamed up in the film “Grandma,” starring the incomparable Lily Tomlin.

“Grandma” has a very unique premise. Tomlin is the title character of Elle, who is visited by her granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner). The girl is seeking an abortion, and her feminist poet grandmother seems like the right fellow traveler on her way to the procedure. Sam Elliott portrays Karl, Elle’s ex-husband – she left him for a same sex partner – who harbors a resentment toward circumstances in their relationship. The two meet along the way to the clinic, and the resentment boils to the surface.
