The producers have done an amazing job making sure that everything on the set is accessible to me. I even have this really cool trailer that has a ramp off the back that allows me to get my wheelchair inside and to set up a hair and makeup station on my back porch. Show less «

About a year and a half ago, my agent asked me to send in a "personality tape" for an "untitled Scott Silveri project". I put together a tape of me just talking about myself and joking around. A year later, January of 2016, they had requested another personality tape for the same project-then titled Speechless. A few days later the agent said the casting director was sending some scenes over. I spent an entire Saturday putting together the audition tape of the six Speechless scenes. My parents verbalized all of the other character's lines (off camera) while I reacted to all of the dialogue on camera. The agent told us they loved the tape and would be in touch. Two months later, I found out I booked the role of JJ on my 18th Birthday. Best birthday present ever! Show less «
