Chase Stokes Got Knocked ‘Out Cold’ By Outer Banks Co-Star Rudy Pankow – Looper

During a cast interview with MTV News while promoting the 3rd Season of “Outer Banks,” Rudy Pankow let it drop that he accidentally caused series lead Chase Stokes to suffer an injury while filming a scene from the new installment that involves the two actors acting the sequence on a plane. When asked what his favorite behind-the-scenes memory was of Season 2, Pankow replied, “I mean, there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes moments,” before he was humorously cut off by Stokes who interjected, “Go for it. Why don’t you tell us?” prompting him to let the world know what happened.

The actor then shared “I accidentally injured Chase. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite thing in the world.” Jonathan Daviss (who plays Pope Heyard) cut in and revealed that Chase Stokes’ injury was a concussion. Rudy Pankow then shared the story: he was following his co-star’s orders to exit the plane quickly, and with a bit too much haste his leaving the plane brought the aircraft’s door down on Stokes’ head a bit too hard.

The injured star of the show provided details on how he was left completely unconscious for a few moments, but woke up and continued to shoot the scene that involved jumping into the water below and swimming. There is no bad blood between the colleagues though, and Chase observed how he is completely okay from the accident — to which Rudy still offered an on-air apology.
