- Lost his vision gradually between the ages of 13 and 25. Could still see shapes and colors in his late 20s and was able to play poker by having a bright light that shined on his cards.
- Clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg 2008-2009. Had previously clerked for Judge Thomas Ambro of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
- While at Harvard, edited the Law Review and became the first student fellow of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society.
- He was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a degenerative eye disease that limits a person's night and peripheral vision and can eventually lead to blindness.
- Graduated from Harvard when he was only 19.
- I'm not out to set records, and I've been very fortunate in my life. For many others with vision impairment, it's a different story.
- We are the sum of our experiences, and of course as an actor and litigator, to some extent, I had to perform on my feet and be persuasive. I hesitate to say those experiences were directly relevant because this is really from the heart, so I hesitate to view it as performance. But obviously, I am who I am.
