Date:

Brendan Fletcher was shot in the throat on set of Cardinal.

But, another actor has joined the growing list of Hollywood celebrities who have been injured on set of a movie or TV show. Canadian actor Brendan Fletcher was hospitalized after suffering throat lacerations on set of the CTV drama Cardinal, which is now shooting in Sudbury, Ontario. From THR:
