Actress Amy Adams has explained how skills she learned in preparation for a role in CBS’s Dr Vegas helped her save the life of a knife attack victim. More than 20 years ago, Amy Adams got a role as Alice Doherty in CBS’s doomed show Dr Vegas. It was one of her earliest TV roles, and to get into character, she learned basic medical skills. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled shortly after its premiere, but those skills didn’t go to waste. via CBS In an interview on the Smartless podcast, Amy Adams opened up about the moment she saved a victim’s life, though “I’ve come across a couple of scenes where we’ve been sort of the first people on the scene,” she said. “We were in Santa Monica and coming out of our favourite restaurant, and I was with my dad, and these people were screaming and a guy was walking, and they’re yelling, ‘He’s dying!’ and my husband’s like, ‘That’s blood.’” She continued: “We ran over, and he’d been stabbed in the neck,” the Enchanted actress recalled. “So he was bleeding, and his friends were freaking out. So luckily, we were going to the beach. We grabbed towels. My dad has been on lots of scenes — I guess he attracts them as well — and applied pressure.” via CBS Amy wasn’t present for the actual stabbing and wasn’t sure how the man got his injuries. “I mean, as far as I could make out, they had run into an old college friend and had some drinks and then went to the liquor store. They were going to go back to someone’s house, and he just freaked out. I don’t know kind of what the whole story is,” she explained. The actress then revealed that a year after the incident, she had a chance encounter with the same man while out in public. A guy walks up to me… He’s like, ‘I heard a story that you and your dad were on the scene of a guy getting stabbed,’” she remembered. “And I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s you.’ And it was him.” For all the latest film and TV updates and hot takes, like our Facebook page.
