H
e was always the joker: First to make his
mother laugh, and then comedy club audi-
ences. Roles in college plays led to the New
York stage, and then to a roll of the dice in
Los Angeles. Danny Woodburn’s been on
Seinfeld, Bones, and the new Showtime series, Happyish on TV, and in Watchmen, Mirror Mirror, and the 2014 redo of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the big screen. Behind the scenes, he’s an advocate for people with dis- abilities; serves on the Screen Actors Guild’s Perform- ers with Disabilities Committee; and received the DREAM Award from the Disability Rights Legal Cen- ter. Married to his muse, actress Amy Buchwald, they frequently collaborate, giving taboo topics a twist. Recently, the actor met up with ABILITY’s Lia Mar- tirosyan and Chet Cooper in Los Angeles.
