Didn't seem to stop Daniel Day Lewis playing Christy Brown in My Left Foot. He got an Oscar for it.

It's all about star power in Hollywood. Nothing else really matters.

I understand Gary Sinise had his legs removed for his role in Forrest Gump.

That's because he's truly dedicated to his craft.

That's not the right question. Just put disabled actors in roles!

Somehow an able-bodied actor has every right to take any role but a disabled actor has to prove to be above&beyond other's capacities?pic.twitter.com/eL2pgNGNBx

That's absurd! It wouldn't be "acting" anymore. It would go against the purpose of acting as a craft. And Gyllenhaal is outstanding in this.

Is there a disabled actor as big a box office draw (or as good an actor) as Gyllenhaal? If not the question answers itself.

the inability of many ppl to use their imagination, to imagine themselves as others, is also lack of empathy. art is spsd to be a bridge!

to have an amputee, say, play the main role would be an act of manipulation, not art. but many want to be manipulated, it's easier that way.

Not if the disabled actor isn't as good as Jake Gyllenhaal. Why do social justice thinkers assume infinite resources?
-
As if there are thousands of highly accomplished lead actors in wheelchairs just waiting around for roles.

Most movies are less likely to make back their cost, let alone profit, without a star to attract audiences. Stars protect one's investment.

An advisor to an actor for sure but a disability doesn't make one a good actor.
