So these shots in the post are from the first season of Only Murders In The Building.

The character is deaf, and is played by a fabulous deaf actor.

Unfortunately, given the storyline I doubt that he will appear in the third season, which is about to premiere

Apparently, the actor was allowed a huge input into the way his character was portrayed, which had a (positive) ripple effect amongst the cast and writers.

@GrumpyPenguin @Tooden @ned by letting the actor with the real life experience have input on his character, they literally improved the show. Iโ€™ve heard a lot of acclaim for this show and Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing it.

Typically, writers are โ€˜making upโ€™ experience they donโ€™t have in these characters, and typically they cast fully abled characters to play challenged roles.

How refreshing! I hope more of this โ€” a lot moreโ€” becomes mainstream.
