Should be a no brainer to have an expert in along with a person who has a specific condition, on set. Studios should start always using a varied/random group of individuals for background scenes. Just watch many mid-twentieth century movies and count people of color in the crowd, usually 1 or 2 right? Now take most films and try to spot people (extras) with canes, crutches, wheelchairs, guide dogs and prosthetics. The result here would be probably more towards zero. We humans are primitives, anything different or unfamiliar makes us fearful (and if one knows Yoda one knows where that leads). So get those secondary players to be more varied and maybe those primary roles will follow. Anything in video or print regarding this issue is headed in the proper (I would have said right, but too political 😉) so thank you Footless Jo.
