    Michael Moriarty badly beaten in unprovoked attack

    Hollywood actor assaulted in Vancouver
    Michael Moriarty badly beaten in unprovoked attack

    Wednesday, January 09, 2002


    MAPLE RIDGE, B.C. - A Hollywood actor who now makes his home in Vancouver has been badly beaten and hospitalized.

    Both police and hospital officials are being tight-lipped, but a number of sources confirm that Emmy award-winning actor Michael Moriarty was badly beaten at about 2:45 a.m. Wednesday.

    It happened outside the Wolfe Lounge at the Quality Inn Motel in Maple Ridge.

    Apparently, the 60-year-old had been drinking at the lounge with a friend when police say three to five males attacked him.

    The attack, which was unprovoked, left Moriarty on the ground unconscious.

    According to one source, he was bleeding from both ears, had an injured eye, and a broken wrist, but there is no confirmation of that.

    Moriarty was transported to Ridge Meadows Hospital in Maple Ridge where a source told BCTV News on Global Moriarty was in emergency and could not be disturbed.

    The actor most recently appeared in a Vancouver courtroom charged with assault after allegedly slapping his common-law wife while they were out at a Vancouver restaurant.

    The charges against him were stayed on Jan. 31st.

    Moriarty has been frank about his difficulties with drinking, but it isn't known what role that may have played in the assault.

    Police did arrest a suspect, but he was apparently released on an appearance notice.

    That frigging sucks.
    The guy is a hugely talented actor. His performance
    in The Holocaust mini-series still haunts me to this day.
    Catch the bastards and beat them to death

    that picture is from his Law and Order days. He left back in the late '80s or early '90s I believe.

    He played Ben Stone in the first through fourth seasons. Since the show first aired in 1990, the pic should be from between 1990 and 1994.
