Disability Visibility

Ep 67: Disabled Actors
Today’s episode features an interview with Liz Carr (@thelizcarr), an actor, activist and comedian based in the UK. I first listened to Liz when she was a co-host for the BBC Ouch podcast with Mat Fraser. Hearing two disabled people cackle and joke was a revelation many many years ago. There’s no doubt in my mind that Liz and Mat influenced me as a podcaster on how important it is to have disabled people in conversation together. You’ll hear Liz talk about her acting career and the challenges she faces in fighting for characters and storylines that matter. We also discuss her lead role as crippy smartass forensic examiner Clarissa Mullery in BBC’s long running drama, Silent Witness. Disability Visibility is a production of the Disability Visibility Project, an online community dedicated to recording, amplifying, and sharing disability media and culture.
