[Perform-Talk] ncis episode on cbs

[Maria]

I think it was a true shame that they did not hire a blind actress for this role.  I know many blind actresses auditioned and it was unfortunate that they decided to go with a sighted actress.

hello all,

sory, for the late notice but, I should've posted this to the list
this past week but, due to personal issues in my life I do apologize
for this late notice. as you all know this past Tuesday night on cbs
ncis aired theepisode about a blind actress who happened to be blind
aired. I didn't know if any of you caught this live or not which
unfortunately, I didn't but, want to rewatch it or catch it online if
any of you including myself missed it!   so, here is the link for the
show which aired on april 17,2018

in case you all didn't know what the episode was about or not before
you watch it so, you know what it was all about here it is...

so, let's start some discussion on thistopic on this episode. and, I
want to hear you guys input, opinions, or suggestions, or thoughts on
what you all thought it if you watched it or not here on this list?
so, I will begin with my 2 cents worth. I thought the episode was a
very good way in blindness was portrayed in a humerous way even though
this show is a drama but, it showed blindness in a positive manner
but, i'm glad that the nfb got involved with this and, that thisd
division was also involved in getting people to be a part of this
craft as portraying actors in a positive manner of blindness.  I also
thought I liked how she educated torris about blindness even he had
some misconceptions and, that the other agents including gibbs didn't
midjudge her or her abilities even though she was bblind.


so, that's my 2 cents worth on this topic. so, let's keep the discussion going!




hugs,
amy
