'This Is Us' character is blind and the actor is actually visually impaired! (distractify.com)

That;s pretty cool! I'm just saying this out of curiousity, I wonder if the move Ray was made today, if there would be any social media outrage over it. Or if a Stevie Wonder biopic was made, if there would be any backlash over that.

I'm not sure. Good point though! Honestly, I'm not overly offended if someone who has sight plays a visually impaired character, but it's just super dope when it's actually genuine.

They only starting providing AD from this season; this is probably why.

Sorry, I'm ignorant. What's AD?

Audio description.

Duh! Ahah thanks.
~~But anyway, what does AD have to do with the character? I'm confused, hahaha. Couldn't they have done literally any other disability regardless of the descriptive audio?~~
Edit: I misread your comment. We good hahaha
