Brad’s response to a current Backstage article: As a photographer who works with a wide variety of actors, I absolutely agree that the key to your success will be your persistence and determination. My clients include people with a range of disabilities, due to instances of Down syndrome, deafness, loss of limb, etc. Their passion for acting is clear, and, like all actors, they work hard to find roles that are a good fit. Zack Weinstein, an actor who uses a wheelchair, arrived in LA after Glee was cast, and was disappointed that he missed the opportunity to audition for the show. He knew, however, that the auditions had been open to actors of all abilities, and they ultimately chose the best actor for the role (Kevin McHale as “Artie”). Zack later auditioned for a guest-starring role and nailed it. He appears in episode 18, “Laryngitis,” playing the role of an injured football star. He excelled in two beautiful scenes, and sang a moving duet with Lea Michele at the end of the show. I loved seeing his real-world success, and wish you the same opportunities to express yourself as a performer. http://www.backstage.com/bso/advice-the-working-actor/how-does-a-disabled-actor-find-an-agent-1006747552.story
