I've heard conflicting info that it was a fan, a photographer, or a security guard. Hopefully Don heals fast!

Poor Don. The double edged sword of being incredibly good at his job.

How does this happen at a press conference?

From the video it seems like the security didn't know that Don Callis was part of it and probably thought it was a crazed fan.

The worst part is that it sounds like he was caught off guard and suffered some pretty rough injuries. He must have been quite shaken.

His character might be villianous but not his IRL self. Sadly this kinda of stuff was incouraged back during the 90s and not enough was done to teach people to be a better audience.

Turns out being a carny piece of shit is a dangerous profession.
