for his performance in the 1992 production of The Speed of Darkness
Correction

Lang’s Tony-nominated Broadway production of The Speed of Darkness was in 1991, not 1992.

Full reasoning

Authoritative theatre records date Stephen Lang’s Tony-nominated Broadway run of The Speed of Darkness to 1991. Playbill lists the production as opening on February 28, 1991 and closing on March 30, 1991, and it shows Lang’s 1991 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play for that production. The official Tony Awards nominees database likewise lists Stephen Lang, The Speed of Darkness under the 1991 nominees for featured actor in a play. So calling it the 1992 production is incorrect.

Claim
including the Drama Desk and Helen Hayes awards
Correction

Sources show Lang won a Helen Hayes Award, but his Drama Desk recognition was by nomination, not a Drama Desk win.

Full reasoning

This phrase overstates Stephen Lang’s theatre awards by saying they included a Drama Desk award. Playbill’s Stephen Lang page lists his Drama Desk recognition as "2008 Outstanding Solo Performance — Beyond Glory — Nominee"; it does not list a Drama Desk win. Goodman Theatre’s biography of Lang likewise describes his Broadway work as including a "Drama Desk Award-nominated performance" in Death of a Salesman and separately notes a Helen Hayes Award-winning performance in A Few Good Men. So the article is mixing a real Helen Hayes win with a Drama Desk nomination, not a Drama Desk award victory.
