Rusell CroweAcademy Award-winning actor Russell Crowe was filming a scene for his new film, “The Next Three Days,” with co-star Elizabeth Banks when a fire truck clipped their vehicle.

Crowe and Banks were on location in Pennsylvania shooting the crime drama when the incident took place, according Pittsburgh's WTAE Channel 4.




The truck was reportedly pulling out of a fire station when it knocked the front end off a van parked in the street. Crowe and Banks both emerged from the vehicle without injuries. In fact, no one was hurt during the fender-bender and the scene seems to have been quite calm. A witness told the local TV station "everyone was laughing" about the accident.




It sounds like Crowe has really loosened up from his days of throwing telephones at hotel concierges. Whoever was driving the fire truck really lucked out.

MY FAVORITE RUSSELL CROWE MOVIE IS LA CONFIDENTIAL. THE CHARACTER OF BUD WHITE SHOWED ALLOF RUSSELL'S TALENT. HE WAS TOUGH HONEST BRUTAL AND VULNERABLE. YUO HATED BUD WHITE AT FIRST THEN YOU REALLY ROOTED FOR HIM

Ditto! We all wanted to know who he was
after LA Confidential. We found out
upon release of "Gladiator".

My favorite Russell Crowe movies are "L.A. Confidential", "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" and "State of Play" with an honorable mention going to "Virtuosity" because that was the movie that introduced me to this amazing actor.

I can't pick a favorite, I like all his movies. Maybe Master and Commander especially. I would go to see any movie he is in.

Russell's career was well and truly under way in Australia and many other countries before LA Confidential. I think his talents were quite honestly better displayed then due to the roles he played than some of his more recent movies. Do yourself a favor and check out some of his Australian movies, available through Netflix.

Gladiator is my all-time favorite movie. Russell Crowe was brilliant in the lead role and totally deserved the oscar for best actor that year. Master and Commander is my least favorite Crowe movie. Other Crowe faves of mine are The Insider, A Beautiful Mind, and Romper Stomper.
