“Sound of Metal” actor Jeremy Lee Stone has signed with M88 for representation across acting, consulting and speaking engagements. The agency will also represent Stone in other areas.
Stone, who is the founder of Asl (American Sign Language) Elements, is best known for his work on Amazon Studios’ “Sound of Metal” starring Riz Ahmed. Stone also served as Ahmed’s Deaf consultant and Asl instructor.
The film, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, follows a heavy metal drummer who loses his hearing. As Ruben (Ahmed) navigates the world, he grapples with his identity and meets Stone’s character, who helps him.
To prepare Ahmed for the part, Stone spent seven months teaching him Asl during daily, two-hour lessons, five days a week, and integrating him into the Deaf community.
Stone was born and raised in New York City. He attended a school for the Deaf then later transitioned to a mainstream setting.
