UKS Mobility reports that “the awareness of disabilities and long-term illnesses in the media has risen considerably in the last few years, where actors with disabilities are making a positive impact and landing key roles regardless of their disabilities. There’s an on-going argument where non-disabled actors are playing disabled roles, even though real disabled actors are available, which is particularly evident in Hollywood films.”
As a result UKS Mobility has produced this feature looking at 12 disabled actors, and the positive impact they are having as they raise disability awareness in the media.
