Imagine you are a movie director, passionate about creating captivating films for your audience. While working on a new movie, you come across a situation that poses a tough decision. There's a role for a disabled character, which is not a major part in the story. Your casting director presents you with two options: an able-bodied person who can convincingly act as a disabled character and a person who is actually disabled but lacks acting experience.
Now, you find yourself in a dilemma. On one hand, the able-bodied actor can portray the role accurately, bringing authenticity to the character's experiences. On the other hand, the disabled individual can offer a genuine perspective, as they live with the disability in real life.
Consider the importance of representation and the ethical implications of your decision. Should you choose the able-bodied actor for their acting skills or the disabled individual for the genuine lived experience? What would you do in this situation?
