Meanwhile, also away from his career, Brian had health problems in 2020 when he suffered a major stroke while at home alone. Fortunately, the actor was able to use his smartwatch to call his wife before being taken to the hospital.
The actor recounted that ordeal to Outsiders and revealed that the Apple Watch “saved his life” because he was able to call Kelly using the Siri function. “Apple Watch saved my life. I was lying on the bathroom floor, vomiting, and I pulled out my phone and said, ‘Oh – I can’t use my fingers.’ And so I said, ‘Hey Siri, call Kelly,’ then I called my wife and I said, ‘I need help.'”
Fortunately, the father-of-two has recovered and is able to return to work. Fearing for his health also encouraged him to write more. He added to The Outsider, “I realized there was no reason why I couldn’t tell really great and branching stories and keep doing what I love in the field, and be surrounded by people who have supported me, people I support and love.”
