Ep. 12: Travis - to Act or Be Acted Upon
Manage episode 308176238 series 3011695
Introducing Travis Eberhard! Travis is a disabled actor and illustrator and a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You may recognize him from various films, most notably by playing Albert in T.C. Christiansen's film, 17 Miracles.
In this episode, we discuss Travis's experiences interacting with able-bodied people both in and out of the church, inside of Utah, and outside of Utah. We learn inside details about the production of 17 Miracles and Travis's thoughts on his character.
With both the entertainment industry and the Church having the tendency to "typecast" disabled people into limited stories, we ask, how can we diversify the roles and stories to greater showcase disabled lives?
