Kramer said in an email to the newspaper that Rhames “feels fine” and that he spoke to the actor on the phone shortly after he was hospitalized.
“He sounded like everyday Ving,” Kramer wrote, adding that the actor made “a humorous remark” while in the hospital.
Rhames, who also appeared in “Pulp Fiction,” is the only actor besides Tom Cruise to appear in all eight “Mission: Impossible” movies, Variety reported. He played computer hacker Luther Stickell.

This year, Rhames has been hosting the History Channel series “History’s Deadliest With Ving Rhames,” Variety reported. The actor covers some of the most catastrophic natural disasters ever recorded.
