Michael McKean was hospitalized in New York on Tuesday after being struck by a car while walking. While McKean's representative told TheWrap that the 64-year-old actor is "fine," his leg was broken during the incident.

The actor, known for playing Leonard "Lenny" Kosnowski on the '70s sitcom "Laverne and Shirley" and David St. Hubbins in the rock mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap," is currently starring in the Broadway production of Gore Vidal's play "The Best Man."

According to his representative, this will mark the first time in the actor's career that he has missed a performance.

“Laverne & Shirley” star Michael McKean was injured when he was struck by a car on the upper West Side Tuesday afternoon, police sources said.

McKean, 64, a New York City native who played Lenny on the hit television show, was seen bleeding from the head after a car barreled into him at W. 86th St. and Broadway just before 3 p.m., witnesses and the FDNY said.

The actor, who also portrayed Spinal Tap’s lead singer and guitarist David St. Hubbins in the cult classic “This is Spinal Tap,” was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in critical condition, fire officials said.

No criminality was suspected in the smash-up, police said.

McKean also had roles on hit TV shows like “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
