Hollywood and Deaf Actors

Chris of DeafDC Blog opens an interesting discussion about Hollywood’s actions indicating a preference to deaf actors and actresses who speak.

My vote — do a mix. Some roles can be deaf actors who don’t speak and some do. This will be more representative of the deaf population’s diversity. Having a hearing actor play a deaf person who speaks crosses the line.
