Must be a karma thing.

Brazil actor playing Judas dies from accidental hanging

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-17817352

A Brazilian actor has died after accidentally hanging himself while playing Judas in an Easter Passion play.
Tiago Klimeck, 27, was enacting the suicide of Judas during the performance on Good Friday in the city of Itarare.
The actor was hanging for four minutes before fellow performers realised something was wrong.
Klimeck was taken to hospital suffering from cerebral hypoxia but died on Sunday.
The Passion play was being performed in Itarare, 345km (214 miles) west of Sao Paulo.
Klimeck was re-enacting the scene in which Judas commits suicide in repentance for his betrayal of Jesus Christ.
Police are investigating the apparatus that was meant to support Klimeck. It appears the knot may have been erroneously tied.

"His method acting skills are amazing!"

RIP. That's sad. Michael J. Fox almost hung himself on the set of Back To The Future III. In a similar way, those around him were thinking he was a great actor before realising something was seriously wrong.

Don't feel too sorry for him lads. He was bitching behind the back of the guy who played Jesus, trying to get the lead role. The ****ing traitor.

You'd think someone would have spotted the big red head on him before it was too late... Poor fella.

The only thing I can think off to do in that situation would be to whip your gnashers out.

Everything else could be interpreted as you just acting but displaying your hobgoblins would force the director to cut the scene at which point it should become clear you're actually dying.

Plus, I've never tried erotic asphyxiation so that's a plus.
