Brian Dietzen, best known for playing Dr. Jimmy Palmer on *NCIS*, was rushed to the hospital after a stunt during filming reportedly went wrong. Sources close to the production say the incident occurred while shooting a high-intensity scene for an upcoming episode, which involved a staged explosion and a chaotic lab evacuation. Though the stunt was rehearsed and supervised by professionals, a timing miscommunication caused Dietzen to fall awkwardly during the sequence.

Crew members were visibly shaken as filming was immediately halted and emergency services were called to the set. “Everyone just froze,” said a production assistant. “We thought it was part of the scene at first—then we saw Brian wasn’t getting up.” He was taken to a nearby medical facility, where he underwent evaluation for what has been described as a “moderate” injury, though no official diagnosis has been released.

Dietzen’s representatives issued a brief statement assuring fans he is recovering and in good spirits. Production on *NCIS* has reportedly paused Dietzen’s scenes for the time being, with writers already adjusting the episode’s shooting schedule. While not life-threatening, the incident has sparked internal discussions about safety protocols, particularly regarding scenes involving principal cast members.
