Dylan O’Brien To Star In New Drama, ‘Being Heumann’

Dylan O’Brien has landed a new role! The actor is set to star in the upcoming drama, Being Heumann, based on the memoir by Judy Heumann.

According to Deadline, “…O’Brien will play Evan White, one of the few reporters covering the San Francisco disability rights protests at the heart of the story. ” The site goes on to say, “Being 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.”

Dylan O’Brien will be joined by Ruth Madeley and Mark Ruffalo in the film.
