I think that people with disabilities are often portrayed on tv as very one dimensional. I've really enjoyed watching Legit for several reasons. Your character Billy clearly isn't a savant or an innocent guy or an angry guy. He's comfortable in his body and he can be a nice guy or a dick depending on his mood. The show doesn't gloss over the things that come along with a physical disability such as transfers and portable urinals. The show has clearly made an effort to hire actors with disabilities. The show portrays friendships between people with and without disabilities realistically. What have you learned in the process of making this show? Thanks.
