Russell Harvard is one of the most popular and richest TV Actor who was born on April 16, 1981 in Pasadena, Texas, United States. In an episode of CSI: NY, he was featured alongside fellow deaf actor Marlee Mattlin.

Russell Wayne Harvard (born April 16, 1981) is an American actor. He made his feature film debut in Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood (2007), playing opposite Daniel Day-Lewis as his adopted grown son, H.W. Plainview. In the 2010 biopic The Hammer, he portrayed deaf NCAA championship wrestler and UFC mixed martial arts fighter Matt Hamill. Harvard also won acclaim Off Broadway in 2012 as Billy, the deaf son in an intellectual, though dysfunctional, hearing British family, in Tribes by Nina Raine. For his interpretation, he won a 2012 Theatre World Award for Outstanding Debut Performance and nominations for Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Lucille Lortel Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor. He played Mr. Wrench in the first and third season of the television series Fargo.

After graduating from TSD in 1999, Harvard began his studies at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. At various times during his college education he took a hiatus to work as a teacher’s assistant for preschoolers at the Alaska State School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Anchorage, Alaska. (His mother later joined him, working for the American Red Cross.) While there he contemplated a career as a teacher of theater, and in 2008 he returned as Artist in Residence. At Gallaudet he maintained a high GPA and completed his bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts, graduating in 2008.

As the younger son of Kay Harvard and Henry Harvard, he was born to a third-generation deaf parent. Renny is his brother.

He won the Theatre World Award in 2012 for Outstanding Debut Performance in Tribes Off-Broadway Production.

Born in Pasadena, Texas, into a third-generation deaf family, Harvard is the younger of two deaf sons of Kay (Youngblood) and Henry Harvard. Both his parents and his paternal grandmother are also deaf. In the early 1980s, the Harvards moved to Austin, Texas so that their elder son Renny could enroll at their alma mater, Texas School for the Deaf (TSD). The family initially placed Russell (due to his speech capability and residual hearing) in an oral college for children who learn to lip read exclusively. Finding he was unhappy there, his parents switched him to a deaf school education at TSD, which included training in lip reading and speech therapy in English. Although he is able to hear some sound with the use of a hearing aid, including speech and music, he identifies himself Deaf and considers American Sign Language to be his first language.

Shortly after completing his scenes for There Will Be Blood, Harvard made his first network television appearance in the “Silent Night” episode of CBS’ CSI: NY, opposite Marlee Matlin, and later guest-starred in “The Box” episode (2010) of the Fox series Fringe. Other TV appearances include Switched at Birth and Odd Mom Out.

In August 2013, the FX/MGM production team of Fargo, the anthology TV miniseries adaptation of the 1996 Coen brothers’ film, cast Harvard as Mr. Wrench, one of two hitmen who pursue Billy Bob Thornton’s lead character Lorne Malvo throughout the series. Writer-creator Noah Hawley, a part-time Austin resident who lives near Texas School for the Deaf, cited his own neighborhood encounters with sign language as the inspiration for the “Mr. Wrench” character: a deaf assassin who uses his command of ASL as a means of menace toward his targets and of private communication with his partner Mr. Numbers (played by Adam Goldberg). During the five-month shoot in Calgary, Alberta, Harvard and the show’s ASL manager, Catherine MacKinnon, worked closely with Goldberg on translating the pair’s dialogue into the most effective ASL exchanges for their scenes.

Critical response to Harvard and Goldberg’s seriocomic turn as bickering hired killers was overwhelmingly positive. Reviewers noted that they “steal scenes as Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench” (Time), make up one of the “satisfying subplots” (Huffington Post) and “have their own original energy” (Vulture.com). For Alan Sepinwall of HitFix.com, “the relationship between Goldberg . . . and Harvard feels unlike any criminal twosome of its type I’ve seen before, even in the midst of a show that is otherwise cleverly rearranging familiar pieces of the movie and other crime stories.” And Tim Goodman, TV critic for The Hollywood Reporter, wrote, “Encapsulating everything that is joyously weird about Fargo, the killers are the dangerous—and deaf—Mr. Wrench (Russell Harvard) and his partner and translator, Mr. Numbers (Adam Goldberg) . . . Already I want a separate series that just follows around Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers.” Series creator Hawley, moreover, who has described Harvard as “magnetic and charismatic” in the role of Mr. Wrench, ended up extending the character’s appearance in the series. On June 19, 2014, the Broadcast Television Journalists Association honored Fargo with three awards (including Best Mini-series) at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards ceremony.
