CHUBB SUES HALL

Anthony Michael Hall, who stars in the television series "The Dead Zone," is being sued for more than $900,000 (U.S. $612,000) by the show's insurer, which says he failed to disclose a mental illness.





In the negligent misrepresentation lawsuit, Chubb Insurance of Canada claims production of the series in Vancouver was disrupted when Hall was admitted to St. Paul's Hospital on May 11, 2001, following an episode of "bipolar affective disorder depression with psychotic features."


He was discharged from the hospital a day later and returned to his home in New York, according to documents filed last week in British Columbia Supreme Court.

Site owners note:
I hesitated before posting this news as I normally do not like to cross the line into the personal lives of the actors/actresses that work on the show. They are after all entitled to their privacy and personal lives. However, depresssion is something that strikes many people in various ways and after asking a few fellow fans we thought this was news that did deal with the show.

The members of this site wish Mr. Hall all the best in dealing with this current situation
