Major Dad is all that I've been watching lately since it's about to leave Hulu. In the beginning of season 4 General Craig is in a wheelchair with a broken leg. He remains in a wheelchair for several episodes and then he's on crutches for a couple of episodes after that. Did Jon Cypher really break his leg?

Cypher broke his leg in two places and damaged cartilage and ligaments when he fell down a darkened stairway at the Benedum Center, where he played Fagin in the Civic Light Opera production of Oliver! The incident left Cypher playing the character while seated in a wheelchair.

I saw the show. He got around pretty well. The audience admired his moxie in going on.

That's interesting. Thanks.
