Edward James Hyland is also an actor who was also in Stop the Bleeding! But he’s had roles in Gossip Girl and Law & Order. He also performed in both parts of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Edward has definitely been a backbone for his family throughout its health issues. Melissa also told PIX 11 that he continued to work as an actor, in which traveling would cause him to be away from his wife and family, to insure his family had insurance.
He was even Sarah’s first kidney donor. After she was diagnosed with kidney dysplasia— a fetal development disorder— as a child he donated a kidney. Unfortunately, the transplant didn’t take and her body rejected it a few years later.
