MedzXVIII 07/17/18 2:55:28 PM #1:	Dear Dwayne, My name is Katy Sullivan. I am an actress, Paralympian, double above-the-knee amputee from birth, and I have a request to ask of you. You seem like a genuinely good dude, so I hope this will be received in the spirit that it was intended: Actor to Actor. Your most recent film, Skyscraper, opens this weekend. Cheers! Congratulations! However, my request is for you to stop saying Yes to roles like the one in that movie. And heres why Individuals with disabilities make up almost 20% of the worlds population. We are the largest minority and the most marginalized group in Hollywood, according to a 2017 study conducted by Fox, CBS and the Ruderman Family Foundation (an organization I know you are aware of and engaging with now). The study found that in last years TV season, less than 2% of characters were written to have a disability and of THOSE characters, 95% of the roles were filled with able-bodied actors. https://society-reviews.com/2018/07/17/dwayne-johnson-criticized-for-playing-an-amputee-in-skyscraper/ --- Hi <cite>MedzXVIII posted [p:905242999] in Dwayne Joh...

nemu 07/17/18 3:02:01 PM #9:	This whole "'marginalized' people should be given roles thing" is dumb. The point of movies is to make money. They grab big names in hopes that those big names will correlate into more money. Some random nobody is generally not going to make money, and honestly, I don't think there will ever be a big name trans actor. I don't think there will ever be a big name disabled actor. Unless an already big name actor decides to transition or gets hurt, such actors will likely always be relegated to playing themselves in indy movies. <cite>nemu posted [p:905243396] in Dwayne Joh...
