CNN Russell Andrews, a veteran actor who’s appeared in “Better Caul Saul,” “Insecure,” and “Straight Outta Compton,” has revealed that he’s been living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The 64-year-old shared the news Saturday evening on CNN’s “The Story Is with Elex Michaelson” alongside his fiancée, actress Erica Tazel (“Justified”). He said he was diagnosed with the disease — a neurodegenerative disorder that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord — in late fall of last year after experiencing pinched nerves and twitching, both common signs of early ALS.
