While filming "NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS" (Television Series -- 1964), a collapsing 84 foot crane broke his back and almost killed him. He walked with crutches and left acting for a job heading the casting department at Lorimar Productions. He returned to acting a few years later
From his wikipedia page:
Seaman 1/c Herbert B. Remsen was a crew member on the destroyer USS Laffey during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. On April 16, 1945, the USS Laffey was attacked by 22 Japanese kamikaze planes during an 80-minute period. Remsen suffered burns during the battle but was able to return to duty and survive what the US Navy called, "one of the great sea epics of war".
BERT REMSEN, 74, CHARACTER ACTOR
PUBLISHED: April 27, 1999 at 4:00 AM EDT
Bert Remsen, veteran and prolific character actor who was undeterred by severe back injuries suffered on a sound stage and amassed half a century of stage, television and film credits from Pork Chop Hill to the current Forces of Nature, has died. He was 74.
Mr. Remsen died Thursday in his sleep of natural causes at his Los Angeles home, his family said Monday.
The versatile performer thought his acting days were over in 1964 when an 84-foot crane toppled over on the television set of No Time for Sergeants. Struck by the crane, Mr. Remsen suffered a broken back and multiple fractures of his left leg.
Through months of surgeries and chronic pain, the pragmatic Mr. Remsen decided to alter his career, becoming a casting director. He was beginning to establish himself, casting for the television series The FBI and for a number of early 1970s television movies.
His work moved forward, although Carl Reiner and other friends kept finding roles for an actor on crutches. Mr. Remsen was casting the film Brewster McCloud for Robert Altman in 1970, and while searching for just the right actor to portray a psychotic cop, the director suddenly looked at him and said, “You.”
The actor went on to work for Altman in other motion pictures — McCabe & Mrs. Miller, California Split and Nashville — and soon found himself so busy acting again that he abandoned the casting business. Mr. Remsen was especially memorable as T-Dub in Altman’s Thieves Like Us and as guest William Williamson in A Wedding, toddling about on the actor’s favorite cane.
For other directors, Mr. Remsen was notable as the choleric coach Bo Winnegar in Fast Break; Kid Colors in The Sting II; a riverboat gambler in Maverick; and Ned in Forces of Nature, now in theaters.
A native of Glen Cove, N.Y., Mr. Remsen served in the Navy during World War II and earned a Purple Heart for wounds suffered on Okinawa.
