Danny Woodburn

Danny Woodburn is someone I respect well beyond his filmography, and the filmography itself is enormous: more than 150 television and 30 film appearances, most famously Mickey Abbott on Seinfeld. What really lands for me is that the Philadelphia native, a Temple University graduate, turned his platform into advocacy, becoming a prominent voice for disability rights connected to his dwarfism. Plenty of working actors stay quiet; he used his visibility to push the industry to treat performers with dwarfism as actors first. That combination of relentless craft and principled activism is rare. I admire him for refusing to let the work and the advocacy be separate things.
