Once Flaherty reached Malone, he got him into a passing boat and performed CPR. Waiting on shore were two other off duty Boston firefighters, Ryan Long and Andrew Lane.
Boston EMS arrived and rushed Malone to Boston Medical Center.
Malone is an actor who is originally from West Roxbury.
He's appeared in the films "The Fighter" and "Gone Baby Gone."
