You can totally open up an acting school teaching the MM technique. Sure, people give her accolades for opening up opportunities for other deaf people to get work in the biz, but still I have yet to see a broader spectrum of deaf actors. Hollywood likes casting only well-known actors, and MM is on the top of the token deaf list. It's up to the deaf acting community to jump in and aggressively pursue more acting opportunities. I'd love to see Deanne Bray do more stuff...she has more depth AND she's NICE to people, unlike miss same 'ol MM.

I agree completely with you about MM. She is great/amazing that she has put in Deaf community....but sometimes we need "real" Deaf actors to put our persepctive. I understand this hollywood tends take that the TOP A-list deaf actors to hire than whoever has empowering Deaf Actors....it take years to beat their perspective because they need include hearing audences but hearing audience always can learn what is the real culture we have.....it is important for us to recongize. You know what im saying ? But ONLY is that I'm suprised that they GOT MM for L - WORD CASTING! She will act lesbian thats steamy and hot!! Heh.
