Though, to be fair, it's impossible to imagine anyone with Keller's actual conditions playing her, the role is so physical, so fully choreographed, and so intertwined with Annie Sullivan's. If the two actors don't have all their faculties and the ability to constantly read one another's signals, it'd be a bloodbath of black eyes, concussions and bloody noses before the end of the fourth rehearsal.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
To make dill pickles?

From Teppy's link, I think my favorite is Zack, the Keebler cookie foreman:
Zack enjoys his tunes, and They Might Be Giants is his favorite band. The thing he likes most about being an elf is, "They let you sit up front at concerts."
Man, I'm glad *someone* checked out the elf bios! They're hilarious!
Worst pain: my back, in the 4-6 weeks prior to surgery. But all y'all got to hear all the details as it was happening, so I really don't need to elaborate further.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
No reason the receptionist who makes with flirtatious banter couldn't be in a wheelchair, or whatever.
No reason she couldn't be fat or just funny looking either, but nearly as rarely is.
I think American casting tends to favor the perfect in general. I watch Britcoms and think "huh, these people look so normal ."

Without, still, being any more disabled.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Darryl "Chill" Mitchell was in The Laroquette Show, Galaxy Quest, and a bunch of other shows/movies, before he was crippled in a motorcycle accident in 2001. Since then, he's appeared in the show Ed, and maybe one or two other episodes of other shows.
It's a shame. He was cool.
The worst pain I've probably had was my skull fracture, but the worst I've felt was from the stomach flu a couple of years ago. Not too much pain, but I literally had to take an hour nap when I foolishy tried to walk from one room to another.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, I forgot he was in the chair in real life.

By stereotypical British standards, Tom Cruise is the disabled one.
