Todd LaTourette is a US actor who's appeared in Better Call Saul. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 31 - but stopped taking his medication. That led to him having a psychotic episode and cutting off his right hand.

He admits that in the years after, he lied to two casting directors about what happened - telling them he was a military veteran.

While he still gets flashbacks of severing his hand, he says he's able to do all the work he needs to do - such as carpentry.

He wants others to learn from what happened to him.
