Injured Chalk out of action

Popular Vancouver actor Garry Chalk won't be hitting his marks for a while after a dog-walking accident ended with an ambulance ride and surgery at Vancouver Hospital.
Chalk (among many other roles, the small-town sheriff caught between Freddy and Jason in 2003's box-office hit Freddy vs. Jason, and the sergeant on TV's Cold Squad) was walking his two blue-heelers at Jericho Park Feb. 5 when he slipped on a patch of ice and landed badly on his right leg, tearing his quad muscles. Two passing women called an ambulance for him and rounded up his dogs.
"Unfortunately, he was in so much pain he can't remember the women's names," says Chalk's sister, Sandy Reynolds.
Chalk got out of hospital this past Tuesday and will be off his feet for a month and a half.
"He has to go up 10 stairs at home, and he had to go up the stairs on his butt," says Reynolds, who jokes she doesn't envy the notoriously crusty actor's wife, Lynda Jane.
"It's not going to be a freaking picnic, Garry is a force to contend with if you try to keep him down. The doctor figures six weeks before he's mended, and six months to a year of physio."
