GLEE Guest Star Weinstein Talks Career With Disabilities
Actor Zack Weinstein will be appearing in next week’s episode of hit television show GLEE. What makes the appearance stand out is that, unlike Kevin McHale – who plays GLEE’s Artie Abrams who is confined to a wheelchair – Weinstein faces disabilities on a daily basis. The actor became paralyzed during a canoeing trip in college. While he was left with only the use of most of his upper body, leaving him unable to use his hands or legs, Weinstein has fought to continue his dream of acting.
