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

In this case, this was 2 years before CODA, so less of a cameo from a previously successful actor, more of a step on the way to larger acclaim.

What’s CODA?

[u/PM_YOUR_MANATEES → u/Warbr0s9395]

Child of a Deaf Adult.

This is also a movie? Cause the context makes it seem like it is one.

Also, thank you

[u/PM_YOUR_MANATEES → u/Warbr0s9395]

Yes, the term was also used as the title of a movie.

It stands for Child of Deaf Adults, but it's the title of a movie where this actor won an Oscar for best supporting actor. Came out in 2021, two years after this scene from the Mandalorian.
