Played the hero by saving the life of an Ohio tourist

Which quirky director, producer, and actor played the hero by saving the life of an Ohio tourist? After coming upon an elderly man who had fallen in the street and wounded his neck, this eccentric actor sprung into action, stopped the bleeding, and kept the man calm until emergency services arrived. While he downplayed his role in helping the injured tourist, we think he may be destined for an against-type leading role in the next superhero blockbuster.
