Corrections: Dina wishes to clarify that the deaf actor who appeared in the TV show “Fargo” and the film “The Hammer” is Russell Harvard, not Daniel Durant.

Additional Info: When she was 12, Marlee Matlin met and was encouraged to become an actor by Henry Winkler. The two became lifelong friends and advocates for those with disabilities (he has dyslexia). Matlin even had her wedding at Winkler’s house.
