Amy Adams recently told the “Smartless” podcast that she saved a stabbing victim’s life using skills she learned from the short-lived CBS medical drama “Dr. Vegas.”

Adams said she and her family were the “first people on the scene” of the stabbing as they walked out of their “favorite” Santa Monica restaurant.

“These people were screaming and a guy was walking and they were yelling, ‘He’s dying!’ And my husband’s like, ‘That’s blood!’” Adams recalled.

Adams said after spotting the man, who had been “stabbed in the neck,” her husband, Darren Le Gallo, stayed with her daughter, while she and her dad rushed in to help.

“He was bleeding and his friends were freaking out,” Adams said. She explained that she felt very “focused” in the moment, using beach towels to apply pressure and stop the flow of blood.
