Elisabeth Moss is Robert Brownshowing that making TV can be back-breaking work.
In an interview with Variety published Wednesday, Moss discussed her injury, which she'd incurred while performing a stunt on an Istanbul rooftop for her new FX spy thriller "The Veil."
As her character Imogen, an undercover MI6 agent, fended off an attack above the city's historic Grand Bazaar, Moss "hit a wall the wrong way, let's just say, and ended up lying on the roof for a couple hours." She later learned she'd broken a vertebra in her spine.
The scene, which will be on Episode 2 of the show (premiering April 30 on Hulu), "is actually the second time we shot it, about six weeks later," Moss told Variety.
The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning "Handmaid's Tale" star, 41, kept working through her injury, however.
"We actually shot the next day at the airport — those are the Paris airport scenes you see (in the episode) — and I actually have, like, a broken back," Moss said. "I tried to get them to put a green blanket over me, and just VFX me out. I was like, 'Look, just put the green blanket over me and you can scrub me out in post.'"
Despite her initial worry that the production wouldn't be able to finish filming the injury-causing scene in Istanbul, Moss said she got another chance at completing the scene.
"Well, I didn't know if we were going to be able to come back and shoot on this rooftop in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul," she says. "It's not like that is an easy thing to accomplish. But luckily, we, as a production, and then FX, thank God, let us go back and shoot it again. Which was incredible, an incredible opportunity."
Moss' producing partner, who was on set during the injury, told Variety that Moss "is underselling how hard a lot of the stunt was that she did."
In January, Moss revealed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that she is pregnant with her first child.
"I've been really lucky. It's been going really well," Moss said.
While Moss remains mum about her personal life, she was previously married to comedian Fred Armisen before the pair divorced in 2011.
