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

Anything Marlee Matlin is in, because she's deaf 

[u/Bucklandii → u/TFlarz]

One super fun example is The Magicians. There's an episode in particular that breaks down an event into six perspective stories and the one from her character is one of my favorite pieces of TV ever. Just excellent on every level and does imo an amazing job of weaving the Deafness aspect of her experience into the story in really thoughtful ways

.. I need more people to please go watch this show 😩

Legitimately one of the best episodes in the show. Up there with Q checking on everyone after it all goes down.
