Revisiting Ryan OConnell on his Netflix comedy series Special
For years, Ryan O\u2019Connell was in the closet: not because he\u2019s gay, which he is, but because he was ashamed of having cerebral palsy.\xa0 His cover? He\u2019d been hit by a car--which was true. But eventually, that lie took a toll. With his Netflix series \u2018Special,\u2019 O\u2019Connell is out in a big way. He tells us about the 4-year struggle to find a home for his autobiographical comedy, which is now nominated for 4 Emmys.\xa0
