PUBLISHED NOV 1, 2018

'Better Call Saul' actor Todd LaTourrette is finally in the mind-space where he feels he can come clean about his acting career, as per reports. The actor, in a recent interview with KOB4, admitted to cutting off his right arm nearly 20 years ago when he was off the medication he took to treat his bipolar disorder.

“I severed my hand with a Skil saw,” LaTourrette explained to the outlet. “The state of mind was a psychotic episode.” After that near-fatal incident, the actor admitted that his injury got him acting jobs as a war veteran after he lied about being injured while serving overseas. 

LaTourrette went on to explain that he hopes that by sharing his story he can spread awareness on mental illness and provide hope for those struggling with bipolar disorder. (Source: IMDB)
