Stuhlbarg Under Siege: NYC Mishap or Case of Mistaken Identity for Larry David?
Hold onto your fedoras, folks! News broke a while back that our beloved character chameleon, Michael Stuhlbarg, had a brush with the bizarre in the Big Apple. But fear not, fans of Fargo and Call Me By Your Name, because this story isn't all doom and gloom. In fact, it's downright strange, with a dash of admirable resilience thrown in for good measure.

Rock and a Hard Place: The Details
So, what exactly happened? Apparently, Mr. Stuhlbarg was strolling through the idyllic (or maybe not so idyllic that day) environs of Central Park when WHAM! A rogue rock came flying his way, courtesy of a random dude. Luckily, it just clipped his neck, causing more of a "what the heck?" moment than a full-blown medical emergency.
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
The assailant, a 27-year-old fellow named Xavier Israel, was promptly apprehended by the NYPD. Let's just say Xavier probably wasn't aiming for an autograph that day.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
The Show Must Go On (Even After Getting Bonked by a Rock)
Here's the truly impressive part: despite this whole rock-throwing ruckus, Stuhlbarg, the consummate professional, went about his business. He was scheduled to perform in a Broadway play that very night, and you guessed it, he took the stage like a champ. Now that's what we call dedication (or maybe a touch of "the show must go on" mentality – either way, it's pretty darn impressive).

Side Note: Can you imagine Larry David in this situation? He'd probably write a whole monologue about the absurdity of it all.
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Still No Word on the Motive
As for why Mr. Israel decided to take aim at Stuhlbarg, that one remains a mystery. Maybe he mistook him for a particularly intense mime? Perhaps he was a huge fan of A Serious Man and just wanted to, well, get a little too serious with the lead actor? The world may never know.
Important Update: Thankfully, Stuhlbarg is reported to be doing just fine.
How to Avoid Getting Beaned by a Flying Rock in Central Park (Probably Not Foolproof, But Here Goes):
- Maintain Situational Awareness: Keep your eyes peeled, especially in crowded areas.
- Don a Protective Fedora: Channel your inner Indiana Jones (or Michael Stuhlbarg, for that matter).
- Befriend a Mime: Mimes, with their silent communication skills, might be able to negotiate a peaceful coexistence with potential rock-throwers. (Disclaimer: This is purely hypothetical and not based on any scientific evidence)
- Carry a Bagel: Hey, if all else fails, maybe you can bribe the rock-wielding culprit with a delicious New York bagel.
- Practice Your Best Larry David Impression: Who knows, maybe a good dose of Curb Your Enthusiasm-style confusion will defuse the situation.
