According to Canada's eTalk Daily and The Hollywood Reporter, Christopher Sayour, Smallville's stunt coordinator and Tom's primary stunt-double, was injured on Tuesday morning during a 37-foot fall from a tower whilst shooting a sequence for the upcoming season. Described as a "freak accident", Mr. Sayour appears to have been doubling for Tom at the time of the incident. A statement from his family has noted that he received "multiple fractures and internal injuries" in the accident.

That's awful! I'm glad the stunt-double wasn't even more badly hurt, because I read that a stunt double died on the set of one of Orlando Bloom's movies; I think it was Troy. I hope he's all right.

Get well soon Chris. Without people like you there are no shows, and we thank you for that.
