Nip/Tuck star Dylan Walsh and family involved in major car crash
Nip/Tuck star Dylan Walsh and his family were involved in a serious car crash over the weekend in Rumson, New Jersey. The 61-year-old actor, who played Dr. Sean McNamara on the six-season medical drama, and four other passengers were reportedly heading northbound on a local street when the car suddenly swerved into the opposing lane before smashing into a utility pole, according to TMZ. Police told the publication that two people were taken to the hospital after complaining of pain at the scene. It's unclear who required medical attention or who was driving the SUV, a 2022 Ford Explorer, but photos of the crash show the front of the car heavily damaged with the front airbags deployed. 'Over the weekend, Dylan Walsh and his family were involved in a car accident in Rumson. Thankfully, everyone is safe and has since returned home,' Walsh's representative told The Independent. 'The family is deeply grateful for the swift response of the Rumson Police, Fire Department, and EMS, as well as the staff at Riverview Medical Center for their care,' they added. 'They would also like to extend a special thank-you to the management and staff of The River Point Inn for their support in the immediate aftermath.' The Independent has contacted the Rumson Police Department for comment. Per local news outlet Towns Of: Monmouth County, NJ, Walsh's wife, Leslie Bourque, posted about the crash in a since-deleted Facebook post. 'It was our family who was involved in the car accident on River Road yesterday afternoon. We just want to thank everyone who took care of us in this scary time,' Bourque reportedly wrote. '1st of all to the managers/staff at River Point Inn who immediately ran out to make sure we were ok and comfort our kids (literally one lady wrapped her arms around all of us letting us know it would be ok) — bringing ice bags and the fancy Evian water bottle.' She concluded with an update on the family's wellbeing, adding: 'We are a bit bruised from seatbelts, but grateful for them and air bags which saved our lives. We apologize for anyone who lost power or inconvenience.' Walsh and Bourque have been married since 2022 and share two children: daughter Amelie Bell, 13, and son Hudson Scott, 12.

He's more recently starred in the CW's Superman and Lois as General Sam Lane and the police procedural Blue Bloods as Mayor Pete Chase. Solve the daily Crossword

Harrison Ford's Emmy chances for 'Shrinking,' by the numbers
Hollywood awards voters owe Harrison Ford a serious apology. A supporting Emmy for his performance as the gruff yet insightful therapist Paul Rhoades on Apple TV+'s comedy 'Shrinking' would be a good start. 1 Ford's Emmy nomination for 'Shrinking' Season 2 is his first ever. Granted, most of his small-screen work has come about recently. 1986 But Ford's prolific film career also has yielded just one Oscar nomination, for lead actor in 1986, for his soulful performance in 'Witness.' 10 Factoring in Screen Actors Guild (two), BAFTA (one) and Golden Globe nominations (five), Ford's major awards nominations barely reach double digits. 0 Ford has never won a major competitive film or television award. 20+ On the other hand, he has a trophy case worth of lifetime achievement awards (from AFI, César Awards, Cannes and more), which suggests that his contributions to the industry haven't gone unnoticed. 7 'The Fugitive,' a 1993 blockbuster led by an emotionally charged Ford, drew seven Oscar nominations, including for best picture and eventual supporting actor winner Tommy Lee Jones, but none for Ford. '42' Ford drew some critics groups' attention for his thoughtful performance in this 2013 film as baseball executive Branch Rickey, who brought Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) into the major leagues. 83 Forty years ago, no one envisioned a supporting actor TV award as a career highlight for Ford. But an Emmy at age 83 would be lovely — and he's the frontrunner. 2 'Shrinking' Season 3 has already wrapped, giving Emmy voters a clear path to justice for Ford: not just one but multiple Emmys.
