  This is such a shocking thing to hear. It honestly hit me harder than Michael Jackson's death, just being honest. Michael C. Hall is a true gift and he's such a talented actor. I'm praying for him and I hope he pulls through this 100%. My thoughts and prayers are with him. And I'm praying for the best.
