It's not as an actor that this poses any legal risk to him.
As a producer, it may be argued that it's incumbent upon him to hire people who are...and, people who can be responsible for props - especially dangerous ones...like guns....
If I had to guess, he was a producer in that he signed a check, and that would be his inevitable (civil) defense. He'll be able to show that he didn't personally select the team, and didn't personally select them for cutting costs even if he did sign off - and probably argue that he believed they weren't doing a great job for his money. That he, at least as far as the law is concerned, is also a victim in all of this.
If he needs to, ofc, if it escalates that far - full on dirtbag lawyer mode.
