Jameela Jamil, who was born partially deaf but regained her hearing, seems acutely aware of a problem involving representation in Hollywood that until recently has received little attention. “The Good Place” star revealed to the Press Association that she turned down an opportunity to play a deaf woman because she preferred that the role go to an actress who is actually deaf. “I said it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to take that role and they should find a brilliant deaf woman to play that role,” the 32-year-old actress said. “I think you have to make those choices and not be too greedy and make space rather than take space.” She added: “I don’t want to be part of erasure.” Jamil’s comments come in the wake of the controversy over Bryan Cranston’s defense of his decision to play a quadriplegic in the new film “The Upside” after the disability community and advocates criticized the former “Breaking Bad” star for potentially taking the role from a disabled actor. “As actors we’re asked to play other people,” Cranston told the British Press Association last week. “If I, as a straight, older person, and I’m wealthy, I’m very fortunate, does that mean I can’t play a person who is not wealthy? Does that mean I can’t play a homosexual?” Though, to many, Cranston’s argument may seem sound, it echoes a dismissive attitude some feel toward the concerns of the disability community. // ?: Getty Images
