Mira Sorvino is learning the life of a female Indiana Jones can be little dangerous. During the filming of her new NBC miniseries The Last Templar in Morocco, she studied karate, did her own stunts – and broke five teeth.
"When we were doing the boat scene, we were supposed to be on the Turkish sea in a storm to end all storms," Sorvino, 41, told reporters at a Television Critics Association panel on Thursday. "A big wave came and washed my contacts out of my eyes, and a hook got caught, and it slams into my face and breaks five of my teeth. "
