Olivia joined The OC in Season 2 after show creator Josh Schwartz sold her on a role that would let her meet real musicians performing in the show's bait-shop bar — only to discover how massive the show was when the first episode aired. She did four to five seasons on House, working alongside Hugh Laurie, who she calls 'the dreamiest dreamboat' and quotes with his famous line about acting with an accent being like 'playing with a tennis racket while holding a salmon.' She got a deal that let her take pay cuts in exchange for doing movies during hiatus. Then comes the Cowboys and Aliens horse story: galloping full sprint across the desert alongside Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, she fell into a six-foot ditch ahead of 40 oncoming horses in a cloud of dust. Lying face-down on the ground, she had the thought 'it'll be quick.' Walton Goggins saw her, turned his horse sideways, and absorbed the impact to shield her. She says she owes him her life.
On the Cowboys and Aliens set, Olivia Wilde fell from a horse into a ditch ahead of 40 galloping horses; Walton Goggins turned his horse sideways in front of her, shielding her body and saving her life.
