Very true Zuper, I hope I did okay on the episode. I will see you again in the live part 2 episode on this much under discussed topic, which will be happening this Monday evening. I hope this first episode was at least somewhat entertaining & informative.
@@johncollins1884 Don't be self conscious you did great. This is real life not a glossy, Hollywood production. The quirks only emphasizes the fact that we are all amateurs at this not professionals.
This has been a wonderful discussion. So insightful and actually very educational. I respect that this conversation is not clinical and scientific or antiseptic. We all have our foibles and tribulations to deal with. I appreciate all of your guys very much ❤
Thank you Ean, Thrash and Jon for having this conversation on disabilities, everyone should watch this video i really enjoyed it and everyone had an input in the matter , thanks again Ean I love the chsnnel.
I think of Raymond Burr in Ironsides as well also a TV show that did not last very long in the 70s called Long Street about a blind insurance investigator I think it only went about 20 episodes. What is funny now is that I am a blind fraud investigator where I look into theft and items like that happening at a location so I can really associate with Longstreet and think that was my first time ever seeing a blind person on TV yet the actor was not one blind scurry. Again are you Siri to write these comments and that Midsouth can be a challenge ask Pondo ponds he loves try to figure out what I’m seeing we’re saying since Siri just corrected that
Mental disabilities have really been used--why was One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and others, never scrutinized? Or was it? There's been many movies portraying folks with mental health issues. I suppose that as long as the actor shows respect for that particular community, it is acceptable. What are your thoughts?
My particular thoughts on the issue (And by the way, I'm glad that you enjoyed this particular episode so much.) Is that everyone should be at least genuinely considered for any role or portrayal. Especially, however when it comes to any sort of disability that actors with actual disabilities be interviewed and whenever possible chosen particular for those particular portrayals. For mainly two reasons: (1) Specific unique representation matters in all forms of media - furthermore it matters equally to and for all sectors of a given population... American people tend to respect something more fully (whether it be a project relating to entertainment or dare I say a political cause and/or party) when they see themselves reacted to and reflected upon positively or championed correctly by someone who is similar in situation to themselves; or at the very least the person that they see reflecting their particular circumstance on a wider mass scale genuinely; respects and empathizes with their particular circumstance which the viewer/consumer deals within their everyday life first and foremost authenticity, honestly, dignity, and class. (2) And simply put in the first place; Hollywood and entertainment as a whole, is always clamoring for and saying they strive for authenticity. So therefore within their cacophonous clamor for authenticity within the portrayals of characters; then if this indeed is there cry (which it is) whom then is more "authentic"to portray the character with disabilities then people with whom actually experience disabilities in their day to day lives? Does all that makes sense? And please join us on Monday evening for our Livestream on the same subject. Feel free to ask questions then. We will answer them live during the Livestream. Thank you for your interest and question. May I ask what causes your interest within this topic?
This is a wonderful conversation! Its such a fine line--actors with disabilities vs. actors playing a character with disabilities!
Yes it is. I tried to be as causious as I could without underminding my true feelings on the subject
@@retrocereal, you did well! Thank you so much!

Yes it was, an awesome discussion. I am hoping a lot of people will be there too be involved in the Livestream discussion.
The disabled are the most neglected, underrepresented and dismissed minority in all of show business.
