On his way to rehearsal, standing on that rather disgusting C train platform at Penn Station, he saved a complete stranger's life at risk to his own.And, he's adorable.The Maddow clip after the jump from tonight's show is required viewing. And especially for you, you know who you are scouting locations in Vancouver -- if someone drops out, wouldn't this make amazing nexus-of-everything casting?Get this, he was it a show called Kasper Hauser, and, well ... (NY Times):Mr. Lindsey, 33, is from Harbor Springs, Mich. He moved to New York City three years ago and settled in Woodside, Queens. He can take it from there:“Iwas waiting for the C,” he said from his office on West 30th Street,where he works as a proofreader. “I’m an actor — shocker.” Hesaid almost everyone seems to be an aspiring actor nowadays, but inthis case, it is a critical point to the story: Mr. Lindsey currentlyappears in an Off Broadway show called “Kasper Hauser,” in a role that requires him to repeatedly lift a character who cannot walk. OnMonday, as he waited for the train, about 2:30 p.m., he was thinkingahead to the reading he was heading to. “I’m kind of zoned out, and Isaw this guy come too quickly to the edge,” he said. “He stopped andkind of reeled around. I felt bad, because I couldn’t get close enoughto grab his coat. He fell, and immediately hit his head on the rail andpassed out.” Mr. Lindsey said he sensed a train wasapproaching, because the platform was crowded. “I dropped my bag andjumped down there. I tried to wake him up,” he said. “He probably had amassive concussion at that point. I jumped down there and he justwouldn’t wake up, and he was bleeding all over the place.” You gotta click over and read the rest of it. And you can see him talk to Rachel after the jump. Second clip is the news report from CBSNews.com, because you gotta share the embed love, and it's a great report with a computer simulation and footage from the show, which btw, casting people, is at The Flea Theatre downtow
