Actor Nathan Lane got an unwanted accessory days before the much-anticipated Broadway revival of "The Odd Couple" began for previews: a broken finger swathed in a huge white bandage.

Lane, who teams again with "The Producers" co-star Matthew Broderick in the comedy, accidentally slammed his right index finger in a door and required 14 stitches, Time magazine reported. Lane said he would take off the splint and bandage for the performance.

"I'm not going to wear this in the show," Lane said, quipping: "Have you met my finger puppet Melvin?"
