1. Falls at that age are very serious: I wish him well in recovery, but everyone shouldn’t be surprised in the coming days/weeks if we hear some tragic news.

2. I hope he is gonna be well. I just love him so much.

3. Hope he is going to be ok

4. Oh no! I hope he will be okay. He is such a gem

5. Someone said “Macbeth” backstage.

   I hope he’s ok

6. I hope he does not pass. Seriously. He’s one of the good guys.

7. No! He’d better make a full and speedy recovery

8. Damn plastic railings…

9. Dear lord 🙁 HE SHALL NOT PASS

10. I saw him with Patrick Stewart in Waiting for Godot in 2009 and I was blown away by how dynamic he was. Crazy that he’s still doing physical acting scenes at 85. Such an immense talent.

11. I saw him naked in King Lear and he was packing a pretty serious hog- it probably broke his fall a bit.

12. Not like this, please God, not like this.

13. I’ve met him once he was so lovely. Hope he is going to be ok.

14. He has fallen into shadow…😢
