Alan, I admire you sooooo much. Always know that! :) Please keep in mind, though, regarding the reference of labels before a person's name. As much as we despise the labeling of "gay actor," the same goes for people with disabilities. ALWAYS put the person first. As you were explaining how movies don't give actors with disabilities roles to play characters with disabilities to Ari, you contradicted yourself by saying "famous disabled people" in your argument. Best to be consistent across the board: the person always comes first! Much love!!!
