That’s not how anyone wantsto end their Sundance experi-ence.

Madam Secretary star Tim Da-ly broke bones in both legs in askiing accident while vacationing

in Utah for the Sundance FilmFestival, the actor confirmed viaTwitter on Wednesday.

“Broke my right ankle and leftknee skiing. Simultaneously!How’s that for talent? I’m allgood,” he wrote.

Despite his injury, Madam Sec-retary is not expected to delayproduction, with the show’s writ-ers working on ways to accom-modate Daly’s situation in the

script.Options include the writers

including Daly’s injury in the plot,or using camera trickery to shootaround it, similar to how showsaccommodate actresses’ preg-nancies.

Daly, 60, is likely to appear inall of the episodes in the upcom-ing third season of the CBS show,in which he stars alongside hisreal-life girlfriend, Téa Leoni.
