Actor Nathaniel Marston, who's perhaps best known for his work on the soap opera "One Life to Live," is in critical condition after getting into a car accident this past weekend.

Marston's mother, Elizabeth Jackson, has been posting updates on her son's condition to Facebook since Saturday.

Her latest update said Marston, who reportedly broke his neck and back in several places in the accident, was heading into surgery Monday afternoon. "The Dr said that there is a good chance that he will recover the use of upper body movement and a slim chance that he will walk again," she wrote.

Marston starred on "One Life to Live" from 2001 to 2007. He played a few guest roles on "Castle" and "White Collar," but hasn't acted since 2011, according to IMDb.

Jackson did say in one of her Facebook updates that Marston was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs when the car accident happened.
