Tierney, who has been part of the company since the show began previews in November 2010, played his final performance in Spider-Man Aug. 10.

"Chris Tierney is now and forever a bonafide Superhero in the eyes of the Spider-Man family," Rick Miramontez, a spokesperson for the production, told Playbill.com.

Shortly after Spider-Man began previews in 2010, Tierney was injured when he fell from a raised platform into a pit in the stage of the Foxwoods Theatre. The actor, who suffered a skull fracture and cracked vertebrae, was scheduled to be out of the production for six months, but returned early when he was given the okay by his doctors.
