Ugly Betty Actor Mugged, Glad Co-Stars Werent Hurt

Posted in Actor |

Over the weekend, David Blue attended a party for the cast and crew of Ugly Betty, but as soon as it was over, he came face-to-face with a two men armed with a gun. As Blue was walking back to his friends’ car, the men held him and his friend at gunpoint and quickly stole his wallet, camera and mobile phone. Fortunately, the two victims were not harmed in the incident.

There’s a sad part of me that is just happy that I got away alive and that my friend wasn’t hurt, Blue, who plays Michael Urie’s love interest in the current season of Ugly Betty wrote of the incident on his MySpace blog. There’s another sad part of me that is happy they got me and not America Ferrera [Betty Suarez], Michael Urie [Marc St. James], Judith Light [Claire Meade] or anybody else at the party with WAY more money than myself.

He also admitted that he was glad he immediately handed the money over as to not create any more fuss.

I can tell you, even with a gun in my face, my first reaction was to nail this guy in the face with as many punches as I could muster, he said. but instead I looked at my female friend and realized it’d be better to hand over my wallet and call the police.

David Blue then collaborated with the police, who said that some others had also been caught up in the same situation in the past weeks.

On top of that, as we were in [the police] car, we heard a radio call saying another mugging happened with the same description…about 30 minutes after ours, Blue added.

As for the Ugly Betty party, it wasn’t a wrap up celebration as some might think. In fact, Blue says that it was a well-deserved get-together which they all arranged after concluding the production for the last available script.

I think everybody wholeheartedly hopes that the strike will end soon and we’ll all be back to work by February, Blue wrote, saying that as he is only part of the recurring cast, he is not privy to any information like when/if the next episode shoots.
