“Mindy Project” star Ike Barinholtz is currently in recovery after breaking his neck on the set of his upcoming film, “The Pact.”

Barinholtz injured himself after falling from a high platform while performing a stunt on set five weeks ago. The actor fractured two cervical vertebrae and has since had to “keep his neck stabilized” by a neck brace “for the near future,” according to People.

People also reports that Barinholtz’s neck brace will be incorporated into the upcoming sixth season of “The Mindy Project.” He told the publication that a neck brace would be believable for his character, Morgan Tookers, because Tookers “could break his neck falling out of his bunk bed.”
