“Memory” star Peter Sarsgaard has seen a lot in his 52 years, but his experience as a street-loving Brooklyn resident has accounted for an outsized portion.

Sarsgaard, in an interview on the “WTF With Marc Maron” podcast, recalled a time when he saw a cyclist killed in the New York City borough.

“My family knows that I’m frequently a first responder to bicycle accidents in Brooklyn, of which we have so many,” Sarsgaard said.

Maron wondered whether it was due to texting drivers but Sarsgaard went straight to the point.

“I saw a guy die in Brooklyn. I was the first responder there,” Sarsgaard said, adding that he put his coat over the victim.
