AceShowbiz - Dominic Purcell was seriously injured on the set of FOX's "Prison Break" revival. The 46-year-old actor suffered a broken nose and "a hundred stitches" in his head after a set piece was dislodged and fell on his head during Monday, May 30 shooting, causing him to be airlifted to a hotel in Morocco.

Dominic has been updating fans on Instagram following the accident. He first posted a photo of his bloody head and arm as well as a large bandage on his nose. "I'm good. #thanksforsupport," he wrote, "Had a little accident on set. Haha ! Back at work asap. Pays to have a thick skull when an iron bar falls on your #head!!"

"Busting it open severely also broke my nose in two places. Haha. I got a free nose job out of it," he added, "Stoked to be alive. All good. #chill. Oh. I didn't get knocked out took a knee. Ha!! Doc said I have an unusually tough tissue fiber that's what saved me apparently. Thank god for my #Viking heritage hahaha !!!!"

Dominic added a photo of him back on the gym one day after the accident. "So what do u do when you escape the #grimreaper and lose 12 pounds in the desert? Well life goes on with or without. I wish I could say I discovered something profound out of my near miss. Ummmmm nothing yet just a broken nose and a hundred stitches in my head. So just Get going and see what the f......k happens I guess," he captioned it.

On Friday, June 3, Dominic posted a selfie with his bodyguard, writing, "@rachid_fikri my body guard and dear friend. Before my 'little accident'. Ha. Think I'll take him every where I go. He's a cool silent killer. We've struck up a very close friend ship. He doesn't let me out of his sight. The one annoying thing. He never lets me carry my own bag. 'no sir I take'. ... Dude your making me look like a spoiled brat. !!!"

Dominic is seemingly about to make a fast recovery as he's seen hitting punching bag in a new video.

Slowly nice gentle hitting the #bag #casablanca. #boxing keeps me sane.
