The actor and comedian, Jim Tavaré, is best known for his part in the third movie instalment, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
A head-on collision has reportedly left the British performer with 15 broken ribs, a broken neck and a punctured lung.
Jim, originally from Essex but based in Los Angeles, is currently in intensive care and his wife, Laura, has been updating fans on Facebook.
