[Perform-Talk] ncis episode on cbs

It's hard to say. I do not know any actors who auditioned for this role, but there's always the possibility that the blind actors did not do well in the audition. Likely not, but you never know. Regardless, they should have specifically cast a blind actor, calling for blind actors in the casting call.

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

https://www.cbs.com/shows/ncis/video/mxTPUJVOdiZQhNejJzjU2JfYalUFKYlL/ncis-sight-unseen

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...

•	NCIS - Sight Unseen
Air Date: 04/17/18

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
