The 'CODA' actor opens up about his favorite moments from his Oscars experience and the more inclusive improvements he is already starting to see happen in Hollywood.
Another constant that has remained by Kotsur’s side throughout this entire awards season experience has been his interpreter Maurer. Being a CODA himself, Maurer has been a part of Kotsur’s celebration every step of the way, acting as the familiar voice for hearing audiences as he interpretes Kotsur’s American Sign Language during the many conversations and award acceptance speeches all across the world. So, I asked Kotsur how did he know that Maurer was the right interpreter for him....
As Kotsur looks ahead at the widening opportunities for him as an actor now, he says that there are a lot of deaf historical figures that he’d like to play on-screen next, bringing up the example of real-life baseball player Dummy Hoy and how his presence in baseball during the late 19th century changed the way we all see umpires signal for balls and strikes in the sport today.
“The reason why I made that dedication is because when I was growing up, I’m 53 years old and I had two disabled family members. My father was in a wheelchair and my brother drowned in a pool and had to survive off of machines. And so, my only barrier was communication but I’m very sensitive to all of these experiences and everything that I’ve witnessed throughout my life.
