Does actor Albert Rutecki from “As We Seet It” have autism?
Yes, Albert is autistic. Albert himself doesn’t talk much about his autism. Although he has said at times that he was excited to portray his character in As We See It in a realistic way.
Speaking of As We See It, it’s a new show on Amazon Prime Video about three autistic friends, Harrison, Violet, and Jack. And it looks like this new show is ready to give autistic actors the chance to tell their own stories honestly.
Hollywood has a history of marginalizing actors with disabilities. In recent years, however, diverse voices from many different perspectives inside and outside of Hollywood are pushing Hollywood to be more inclusive. Casting actors on the autism spectrum to play autistic characters may just be the first step toward that inclusion. But it is an important step.
The characters Harrison, Jack, and Violet are played by Albert, Rick Glassman, and Sue Ann Pien. All three actors identify as having autism. The show’s supporting cast includes Sosie Bacon, Chris Pang, Joe Mantegna, and many others.
As We See It was created by Jason Katims, who is known for shows that tackle sensitive topics such as Parenthood, Friday Night Lives. Friday Night Lights has won many awards including an Emmy.
The show will premiere on Prime Video on January 21, 2021.
