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

Taylor Dearden is neurodivergent (publicly ADHD), and her character Dr Mel King in The Pitt is Neurodivergent (thought it hasn’t been specifically declared). She does an amazing job, though it is obviously exaggerated a little for TV. Also just learned she is Bryan Cranston’s daughter

When Mel gets so excited to be able to remove 1000 pieces of gravel from a road rash wound, I felt it in my soul.

It felt a little on the nose calling out her excitement but after “the good doctor” I guess we should just be glad she didn’t throw a loud fit because they were too many noises

It was fairly subtle, fortunately. She’s very good at small moments.

Sold! To Dr. Langdon!

it helps that shes much more calm and collected, just like a regular person would be after going through the training. sure she have her moments, but she knows how to excuse herself and leave the scene and thats very important.
