I’m sorry for the grief this accident has caused his friends and family as well as my wonderful cast and crew.”

He continued, “It’s scary seeing your friend get hurt, but fortunately, Dylan is going to be just fine. After a few weeks of rest and recovery he’ll be back up and running to finish our adventure together. All the best.”
