Well I ALSO worked on this show, and I can tell you that this whole "mercury poisoning" story is a big load of BS. He's a hard partier, and he just couldn't cut it keeping that up with his Broadway schedule. That is the true story - and you will see it to be the truth.For anyone who's endured the true horror of ACTUAL mercury poisoning, Piven has disrespected them by concocting this utterly lame excuse.
