In the film/TV business, success and steady work comes sooner for some. For others, it’s better late than never.
Actor and Chicago native Paul Raci seems to fit the latter.
And when he was up for the role of Joe, the owner of a substance abuse treatment facility for the deaf in Amazon Studios’ “Sound of Metal,” Raci had the acting chops and the life experience to make the film whole.
“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime it was great. I loved the writing. I love the character,” said Raci, 72. “Having deaf parents shaped my whole life because back in the day there was no technology that could help them.”
