'The Simpsons' will feature a deaf actor on Sunday for the first time in its 33-year history.
Even though the characters in the show have only four fingers, they'll use American Sign Language in the groundbreaking episode. And no, the episode was not written after"CODA," the movie about the hearing daughter of two deaf parents, won best picture at the Oscars last month.
"Loni pitched making the son of Bleeding Gums Murphy a man who was born deaf and could never hear his father's music," Jean told CNN. "Having a brother, who is just a year older, who was born deaf, really shaped who I am as a person. So it is a story not just close to my heart, but to my identity," she said.
"It's about hard of hearing and hearing characters coming together," he said."It's a part of history."
