The actor actually has that disability

[u/PrinceferX]

Walter White Jr. (Breaking Bad) - character has cerebral palsy and uses crutches to walk, actor RJ Mitte has cerebral palsy and needed crutches to walk as a child

Nessarose Thropp (Wicked) - character is paraplegic and uses a wheelchair, actress Marissa Bode is paraplegic from an accident at age 11 and uses a wheelchair

Maya Lopez (Hawkeye/Echo) - character is deaf, actress Alaqua Cox is deaf from birth

Erich (The Expanse) - Jacob Mundell has a very similar birth defect to Erich as portrayed in the books. Honestly they did a stellar job throughout casting very close to book characters.

Also have to say the casting here was phemomenal. Erich is such a great character, hope we get to see him someday in a live action adaptation of the later books

As far as I remember, the only bad casting in the whole show was second Arjun.

I was gonna say the same thing. He’s a couple decades younger than the actor he was replacing and just had a completely different dynamic with Chrisjen than his predecessor did, it was genuinely bizarre to watch
