My Take
I have real admiration for Russell Harvard. Making your feature debut opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood is daunting for anyone, but doing it as a deaf actor commanding the screen is genuinely remarkable. His turn as deaf wrestler and fighter Matt Hamill in The Hammer feels especially honest, taking on a role rooted in his own lived experience. A Gallaudet University background and a 2012 Theatre World Award tell me he earned his place on stage and screen alike. To me, Harvard represents a kind of representation that is substantive rather than symbolic, and that is exactly why his career matters.
