Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon has been rushed to hospital after suffering a cardiac incident, his sister has reported. The actor, 51, is best known for his role as Xander Harris in the hit 1990s drama - appearing in all but one of the 145 episodes.
Nicholas' sister has taken over his social media accounts to let the actor's fans know what had happened to the star as she shared a number of images of the actor in a hospital bed, reports The Mirror.
The Instagram account also posted an image of Nicholas being carried on a stretcher. "Nicky sends his love and wanted me to apologise that he hasn't been going live as much lately and to give everyone an update," the actor's sister wrote to his Instagram fans.
"Nicky is doing fine now but he had to be rushed to emergency two weeks ago because of a cardiac incident (tachycardia/arrhythmia).
"Some of you might remember he had a similar incident after his second spinal surgery last year (for Cauda Equina).
"This time he is trying to get a little more rest and has been concentrating on medical appointments."
Brendon's rare condition causes the nerves in the lower back to become severely compressed, and causes numbness in the lower body.
Aftyer Buffy, the actor went on to appear in Criminal Minds until 2007. Since then he has been working on his own films.
