Messi was initially injured in the first half when he went down near the end line after his foot was accidentally stepped on. He was down for several minutes before walking up the sideline and deciding to play the rest of the half. He seemed as though he was ready to compete for the rest of the game as he was seen making moves with the ball.

In the second half, Messi went down again and this time for good.

He was seen walking off of the field with his cleat in his hand and his foot wrapped in ice.

On "Doogie Howser, M.D.," Sikking played Dr. David Howser, father to the title character of the series, played by Neil Patrick Harris.

Before that, he starred as Lt. Howard Hunter on "Hill Street Blues," a clean-cut Vietnam War veteran who headed the Emergency Action Team of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Sikiking based his character's uptight and quirky nature on a drill instructor he'd had at basic training when military service cut through his time at the University of California, Los Angeles, from which he graduated in 1959.

"The drill instructor looked like he had steel for hair and his uniform had so much starch in it, you knew it would sit in the corner when he took it off in the barracks," he told The Fresno Bee in 2014.

In his later career, he had guest spots on shows like "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "The Closer," as well as parts in films like "Fever Pitch" and "Made of Honor."
