[Perform-Talk] ncis episode on cbs

Sun Apr 22 18:48:31 UTC 2018

I don't know that established and famous are the same thing. And while a few have broken through in the industry, it's more the exception than the rule. To date, very few disabled actors are working in the industry. There's a big, gapping ratio between disabled and abel-bodied performers.

There has been some famous blind actors. The girl who played Kimmy on the show Rug Rats was blind. They converted all of her scripts into braille.
