Actor nearly blinded in subway attack returns to TV with a vision

A Broadway actor who almost lost his sight in a brutal random attack at a Manhattan subway station is celebrating his recovery — by returning to the spotlight.

After undergoing successful eye surgery, Alex Weisman, 33, hit the small screen Tuesday appearing in NBC’s medical drama “New Amsterdam,” just under five months after the injury. The role, coincidentally, involved a medical trauma of its own: Weisman played a Superman character in Times Square who gets hit by a bus.
