NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Jeremy Piven's doctor says he ordered the actor to drop out of the Broadway play "Speed the Plow" because he had "shocking levels" of mercury in his system.
Dr. Carlon Colker, an internist and attending physician at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City and Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut, told People magazine the "Entourage" star became ill after eating too much sushi and Chinese herbs. Colker said, though serious, the condition is "completely reversible" if Piven gets rest and stays away from the sushi and herbs.
