Matt Hamill To Make Big Screen Debut…Sort Of
Hamill addresses the controversy surrounding his decision to cast a hearing actor in the starring role in a film about Hamills life. He expresses shock at the controversy and acknowledges that he understands the segment of the deaf community that is criticizing his decision. Yet, he remains firm in his decision to cast Eben Kostbar as the role of Hamill in the un-yet-made film. It is too bad that the controversy caused audition cancellations for other deaf actors and actresses at RIT and Gallaudet.
