What's wrong with advocating for actors with disabilities to at least be chosen to play these roles though?


Yes, this seems like a good idea on a number of levels.

I mentally use the R word sometimes. I've rarely heard it used as an insult to a disabled person. I usually hear it used regarding stupid behavior or a stupid situation.
