Elisabeth Moss fractured her SPINE after filming an action-packed scene in her new FX on Hulu series The Veil… which shut down filming for hours

Elisabeth Moss is opening up about a severe injury she suffered while filming her new FX on Hulu series The Veil.

The 41-year-old actress was speaking with Variety to promote the series, which debuts on the streaming service April 30.

She revealed that she was filming a scene for the second episode, involving a rooftop fight scenes that resulting in her fracturing a vertebrae in her back.

‘The [scene] you see in the show is actually the second time we shot it, about six weeks later,’ Moss admitted.

‘The first time we shot it I hit a wall the wrong way, let’s just say, and ended up lying on the roof for a couple hours,’ she said.

Moss ultimately ended up laying on that rooftop for a few house, with producer Denise Di Novi waiting by her side while she was examined by doctors.

‘I felt so bad for her,’ Di Novi said, adding how surprised she was when Moss was ‘adamant’ that filming continue.

She even shot a scene the next day – albeit one with limited mobility – with Di Novi adding she, ‘fractured a vertebra really badly.’

‘She is underselling how hard a lot of the stunt was that she did,’ Di Novi insisted about the scene.

‘We actually shot the next day at the airport, those are the Paris airport scenes you see [in the episode], and I actually have, like, a broken back,’ Moss admitted.

‘I tried to get them to put a green blanket over me, and just VFX me out. I was like, “Look, just put the green blanket over me and you can scrub me out in post,”‘ she said.

Moss added that she wasn’t sure they could actually return to the Grand Bazaar to finish filming the rooftop fight scene properly

Moss added that she wasn’t sure they could actually return to the Grand Bazaar to finish filming the rooftop fight scene properly.

‘Well, I didn’t know if we were going to be able to come back and shoot on this rooftop in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul,’ Moss continued.

‘It’s not like that is an easy thing to accomplish. But luckily, we, as a production, and then FX, thank God, let us go back and shoot it again. Which was incredible, an incredible opportunity,’ she insisted.

DiNovi added, ‘I think the discipline and coordination of being a dancer made a huge difference for her. I think it was great for the show that Lizzie was able to stay in character and retained the character in the action scenes. She just did so much work and preparation and rehearsal.’
