While many of us are home for the Holidays celebrating, one of the many people that helped make Splinter Cell what it is today has been hospitalize thanks to a unruly terrorist attack. According to CBA, Canadian actor Michael Rudder “took three bullets” during the horrifying Mumbai attacks – which happened around Wednesday. The actor had been in the restaurant of the Oberoi Hotel when militants stormed in. According to Bobbie Garvey, vice-president of the U.S.-based Synchronicity Foundation.

After being hit by three bullets, Rudder “was taken to the hospital. He did have surgery [that was] very successful. He was in intensive care for a little while, but he is very stable and he is healing at the moment,” she added.

Rudder was one of two Canadians from the Synchronicity delegation wounded in the attacks. Rudder is a voice actor who has played roles in cartoons, commercials and video games, including top sellers Assassin’s Creed, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3 and – somewhat ironically – terrorist-slaying black ops game Splinter Cell. He has also performed in the animated PBS series Postcards From Buster.
