Actor's actually slit his throat audience claps as he collapsed on stage

As actor Daniel Hoevels slumped to the stage, blood gushing from his neck, the audience broke into a rapturous ovation.
But little did they know that the actor's stunningly realistic suicidal scene finale had little to do with his acting talents or clever special effects.
He had actually slit his throat after the fake blade that he was meant to use to 'kill' himself had been swapped for a real one.
The audience were still clapping as he collapsed to the boards, trying to stop the blood flow with his hands.
Mr Hoevels managed to get off stage and find medical attention, but the audience only realised something had gone horribly wrong when he failed to reappear for the curtain call at the Burgtheater in Vienna last Saturday night.
Although he bled profusely, Mr Hoevels, 30, survived because the knife missed the carotid artery in his neck. more
