Glee on Fox

I find it interesting that Glee has a character in a wheelchair but he is not disabled in real life. I lot of time when TV series portray the disabled it is played by a non disabled. Why? Is it they can’t find suitable actors who is disabled or they do not look? As we grow as professionals we will make it easier to be cast and such. But it’s up to us to show what can be done.

However, the Glee that focused on Disabled was a great show, it covered the disabled experience great. Taking from the loneliness to a couple understanding of who and what we are. I like how the advisor saw the hurt in his disabled students eyes when the rest of the club told the disabled student it was ok for his dad to drive separately. Then the advisor made the kids spend two week in wheelchair to get perspective. I just wish more people would understand what its like.
