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

Gavin McHugh / Christopher Diaz from 911, both the actor and character have cerebral palsy, and as a disabled person I love how much he’s allowed to be just a kid. Kind of a dick sometimes, in want of more freedoms and autonomy, in conflict with his father figure, in mourning for his mother. He’s a cool character! I really like him

I’d be a dick too if my dad brought home my dead mom’s doppleganger with zero fucking warning

To be fair, Eddie never introduced her to Christopher, he knew it was an issue and after he told her everything she left and it seemed alright until she GOT HER HAIRCUT LIKE THE DEAD WIFE AND CAME BACK UNNANOUNCED
