Do You Know This Disabled Character?

Riva is Deaf.

#poll #polls #disability #disabled characters #id in alt text #riva #star trek #star trek the next generation #so fun fact i don’t recognize him by name #so i was like a riva from Star Trek who is deaf #why have I never heard of him #(for context both of the mods are HoH and like star trek) #so i go pull up his image #and what do you know i do know him #cause he was in one of the few episodes of next gen that I’ve watched #and watching that episode was a complete accident #Also the actor who played him is also deaf and advocated for a better ending for his character

I haven't seen this, and I probably won't, but I'm really tired of the 'let's show disabled people as psychopaths and murderers and people who constantly destroy stuff.'

I'm also tired of abled actors playing disabled actors when there are disabled actors out there. If you're going to make movies about us being pyschopaths and murders, I can't stop you. But at least hire someone who has the condition the main character has. There are Deaf/HoH actors out there who could have played this role if they really wanted to make the movie.

Abled actors can play disabled or abled roles. Disabled actors can really only play disabled roles. So until that changes, at least cast a Deaf actor in the role.

#deaf #disabled #actors #disabled actors #tired of disabled characters constantly being shown as dangerous psychopaths #stop casting abled actors in disabled roles #there are deaf actors who could have played this role #but seriously stop making psychopath characters disabled #films

As a young woman who is both deaf and an amputee, Alaqua Cox would seem to be an unlikely choice to star in a Marvel Cinematic Universe series. But she made a huge impression playing the role of Maya Lopez -- a.k.a. Echo -- on Hawkeye, and she was given a spinoff series, Echo. And her co-star on the show, Vincent D'Onofrio, said she's one of the most incredible actors he's ever worked with.

Echo is currently streaming on Disney+.

once again thinking about the deaf west production of bare: A Pop Opera that exists only in my mind (but vividly in my mind)

#bare a pop opera #bapo #deaf west theater #deaf musical theater #deaf theater #Joshua castille #Josh castille is such a fantastic actor #Joshua castille/chris mccarrell are my dream peter #argh I have so many thoughts abt this

Part 2 of Gender Recognition is stupid and arbitrary.

I really love that Sam’s actor Keivonn Woodard is actually deaf. It’s such a smart inclusion into the story, it works really well (I will protest the fact that the showrunners said “he is dependent on Henry even more” because that’s not entirely true but a younger Sam helps underscore it rather than make it about his deafness). 

I also love that in the show, Henry makes sure to include Sam in conversations, like with Ellie and Joel introducing themselves. Yeah he isn’t the best at it in every conversation and he changes what they say, but I feel like that’s about him being an older brother and Sam being a kid rather than just because he’s deaf. 

Also in the behind the scenes, the cast and crew worked with interpreters and picked up a lot of ASL so that they could all talk! 

update: In listening to the podcast, they do a better job of explaining the decision to make Sam deaf, they’re very respectful about it, so I will forgive what I’m going to say is bad editing on the BTS taking that clip more out of context

Can someone who has the ability to make gifs make a gif of James hamming up blushing by crossing his legs in One Killer Question, and then make another one of Donald O'Connor doing what I am pretty sure is the exact same movement during the Make 'Em Laugh song in Singing in the Rain.

#omitb #james caverly #singing in the rain #donald o'connor #james made a deaf production of music man so we know he is a fan of musicals #and donald o'connor is such a genius physical comedian that he is fun to watch whether you can hear him or not #a deaf production of singing in the rain might not be a bad idea #a deaf actor trying to transition from silent to sound film could be a comedy goldmine
