Russell Wilson cameo leads to broken leg for ‘Entourage’ star

Super Bowl champion quarterback Russell Wilson has a cameo appearance in the upcoming “Entourage” movie. Sounds like a fun idea, right?

Well, what did your mom always tell you about playing ball on the set of a popular TV show turned feature film?

That’s right. It’s all fun and games till someone gets hurt. In this case, that someone is Kevin Connolly, who plays Eric Murphy on the long-running HBO series due to make its big-screen debut next summer.

During filming in Los Angeles, Connolly broke his leg in two places while catching passes from the Seattle Seahawks quarterback. The New York Daily News reports that the actor tripped on a sprinkler.

Both men made light of the situation on social media.

Connolly has proved to be a pretty tough guy through the ordeal. Director Doug Ellin tweeted that Connolly made the catch despite what had to have been a pretty painful injury.

And according to Deadline.com, Connolly was ready to shoot the next scene after merely icing down his leg -- and showed up for work the next day as well. Costar Jeremy Piven was impressed.
