Are there any disabled characters that are played by disabled actors?
The only one I can come up with is Chris Burke and Life Goes On hasn’t been on for like 20 years.
You’d think there’d be a little progress since then, but I guess we’re still casting white dudes as Asian and Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone so I guess we shouldn’t expect much.

Daryl Mitchell in Ed. He was in a car accident a few years after 10 Things I Hate About You and lost the use of his legs.
