While filming Oliver Stone's Savages, he was involved in an accident in which one of the film's transportation vans lost control on its way down a 40 degree rocky hillside slope in Mystery Mesa Ranch, California. The van flipped, rolling down a ravine and landing on its roof; of the 15 passengers, 6 were injured, including Wraith, whose shoulder came out of socket and he was still able to help the injured out of the up side down van.
