\n\tEXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Madeline Delp<\/a> (Ballroom), Rob Delaney<\/a> (Dying for Sex), and Ray Fisher<\/a> (The Piano Lesson) are new additions to Being Heumann<\/a>, Apple<\/a>\u2018s civil rights drama based on the bestselling memoir from disability activist Judy Heumann.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trio joins previously announced stars Ruth Madeley, Mark Ruffalo and Dylan O\u2019Brien in the cast. Delp will play disability rights activist Kitty Cone, with Fisher as the Black Panther Party\u2019s Chuck Jackson, and Delaney as Congressman Miller. The latter character is presumably modeled off of George Miller, who played a key role in supporting Heumann and her fight for disability rights during the 1970s.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeing Heumann follows Heumann as she leads over a hundred disabled people to take over the San Francisco Federal Building, kicking off a 28-day sit-in in 1977. The protestors quickly form a tightly bound community, refusing to leave until the government enforces section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which required all federal spaces to become accessible.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the film from CODA Oscar winner Si\u00e2n Heder, Madeley plays the title role, with Ruffalo as Joseph Califano, the U.S. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare under President Jimmy Carter, and O\u2019Brien as Evan White, one of the few reporters covering the San Francisco disability rights protests at the heart of the story.<\/p>\n

\n\tHailing from Apple Studios, Being Heumann will be directed by Heder, under her overall deal with Apple, from her script written with Rebekah Taussig. David Permut (Hacksaw Ridge, Face\/Off) will produce for Permut Presentations alongside Kevin Walsh (Napoleon, Manchester by the Sea), whose The Walsh Company is under an overall deal with Apple. Heumann\u2019s managers John W. Beach and Kevin Cleary of Gravity Squared Entertainment will also serve as producers, with Heumann, Being Heumann co-author Kristen Joiner, Diana Pokorny, and and Jim Lebrecht exec producing.<\/p>\n

\n\tDelp is an unrepped actress, model, and disability advocate who will be seen starring in the upcoming indie musical drama Ballroom.<\/p>\n

\n\tMost recently seen in Dying for Sex, Bad Monkey, and Deadpool & Wolverine, Delaney is repped by UTA, Kara Baker at Avalon, and Leigh Brecheen and Stephen Breimer of Brecheen Feldman Breimer.<\/p>\n

\n\tComing off turns in the Rebel Moon films from Zack Snyder and Malcolm Washington\u2019s The Piano Lesson, Fisher will next be seen starring in Ben Affleck\u2019s Netflix thriller Animals and is repped by Paradigm and Entertainment 360.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Madeline Delp (Ballroom), Rob Delaney (Dying for Sex), and Ray Fisher (The Piano Lesson) are new additions…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[239,26022,171,26023,53,26024,26025,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-30507","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-being-heumann","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-madeline-delp","12":"tag-movies","13":"tag-ray-fisher","14":"tag-rob-delaney","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114779353519056620","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
