Deaf actor Russell Harvard is back on Broadway

Russell Harvard is playing the roles of both Link Deas and Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway.

During Broadway's shutdown, Harvard says he had a downfall:

"I'm sure many have felt this way, too. This is a perfect time to address the things that I've been fearful of, but I'm going be open and completely transparent. I'm a person in recovery. I decided to go into rehab and that was the best decision I've ever made. I've had many people that were supportive and very helpful with my new journey. I was able to meet many deaf people in recovery and be able to go to meetings. It was a very magical journey."
