I get it’s a hard business and it’s especially hard for those marginalized, what that may be, but on the other side, how is playing someone disabled akin to playing someone of a different race? We all agree that a white person should not play a minority but how is that similar to an abled person playing someone in a wheelchair? Gay people don’t have problems when straight people play gay roles so why should this be any different?
ReplyCODA was great. hope they get an oscar
ReplyI had a great aunt and uncle who were both deaf and they raised 4 hearing children including a set of identical twin girl’s.
ReplyI wonder if she has a hard time reading Stephen’s lips. Y’know, cuz doesn’t have any.
