It worked with his cancer special so why not try it with his broken leg.
That's the explanation given by Tom Green, who documented his surgery for testicular cancer, about his decision to film an upcoming operation on his broken leg for his online talk show, "Tom Green Live."
Surgery was scheduled for Thursday.
"MASSIVE OLLIES"
The 35-year-old comic actor said he was doing skateboarding tricks last week in a parking lot when he suffered what he thought was a sprain. X-rays turned up a break after Green walked on the injured left leg for a week.
"I'm doing this thing for my television show on the Internet where I was going to learn a new skateboarding trick everyday. I was just doing some massive ollies," Green said Tuesday, referring to a simple skateboarding trick.
WATCH IT
Footage of his operation will be shown on Denver-based ManiaTV.com and Green's Web site, which both broadcast "Tom Green Live" and have the footage of Green breaking his leg.
LOWDOWN ON GREEN
He was the host of "The Tom Green Show" and "The New Tom Green Show" on MTV. His acting credits include roles in "Stealing Harvard," "Freddy Got Fingered" and "Road Trip."
Green was briefly married to Drew Barrymore. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in March 2000. | Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register. |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
