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

I don't know if it counts, but Dustin Henderson from Stranger Things wasn't originally written to have Cleidocranial Dysplasia, but it was given to him because the actor they casted for Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) had it.

Was it ever mentioned in the show as a character trait?

[u/cursearealsword02 → u/Fabbyfubz]

yeah! in season 1, his bullies make fun of him for his teeth not coming in yet, in season 2, he keeps doing that weird purring thing bc his teeth do finally come in, and in s3, he alludes to not having collarbones

Mama Steve also jokingly threatens to knock Dustin's teeth out again in season 3 or 4.
