Successor Alan Ruck was pictured Thursday in Studio City, California, where he was seen for the first time since crashing his truck into a Hollywood pizza restaurant in a four-vehicle crash on Tuesday.
The 67-year-old actor, who was running errands during the day, was asked about the accident and said, “I’m fine and thank God no one was killed.”
Ruck wore a gray zip-up sweater over a white shirt with black shorts and gray low-top sneakers with white socks.
The actor wore black sunglasses and a knee brace on the warm autumn day. About the brace, he said, “It’s not because of the accident, it’s because I’m getting old.”
Ruck’s wife, actress Mireille Enos, 48, was pictured in West Hollywood on Thursday, talking on the phone.

The crash involving Ruck occurred Tuesday around 9 p.m. at the intersection of La Brea Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, police sources said. TMZ.
Footage from the aftermath of the incident showed part of the cab of the Rivian truck the Emmy-nominated actor was riding in lodged in the brick structure.

There was “no indication of drunk driving” in connection with the multi-car crash, which remains under investigation, sources told TMZ.
The Cleveland-born actor, who played Connor Roy in the HBO series and Cameron Frye in 1986’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, was seen emerging from the vehicle in the aftermath of the multi-car crash while talking on his cell phone, it was reported the outlet.

Fox White House producer Pat Ward said at the time that Ruck told him that “someone asked him if he wanted to ride in a presidential motorcade and he thought why not.”

Ruck has enjoyed a career renaissance in recent years in the ensemble cast of Succession, which concluded its four-season run this past May.
He played the role of Connor Roy, the oft-ignored eldest son of media mogul Logan Roy whose storyline on the show revolves around an attempt to become president.
The veteran actor received an Emmy nomination this year for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his efforts on the critically acclaimed series.
Ruck praised the writing of the Jesse Armstrong drama in a May 2023 interview with The New York Times.
“Hands down the best writing I’ve ever encountered, week after week,” Ruck said. “I’ve dreamed of a show like this for years… but I do think it would be nice to do something different after six years of playing mostly family s***.”
In the newspaper interview, Ruck said there were years between Ferris Bueller’s day off and the succession that he wasn’t sure he would play a prominent role in his career again.
“There were a lot of bad years where I was basically making just enough money to stay alive,” Ruck said. “If people came out during that period and said something about Ferris Bueller, it would really irritate me because I felt, well, that’s it. That was my chance.’
