As someone who's disabled (visual impairment) I want to say thank you for not playing Billy as a moron. Too many times the disabled person becomes the butt of the joke and it really does harm to people's perceptions of who disabled people are. You're helping to give a true face. I also love that the show pulls no punches. Billy is treated just like anyone else. He isn't babied by his brother or Jim. He's just treated like anyone else. Which is what most of us want & is rarely shown on tv & movies. Especially in comedies. So thank you very much.
Thank you also for taking your time & talking to fans on Twitter. It really does mean a lot to fans when our favorite actors respond back. You sir rock. :)
BTW the offer is still open to eat ice cream and watch Legit together. :P
