The deaf community is nearly never portrayed accurately on television/film because most writers never took the time to immerse themselves in the deaf culture before portraying it on television. They also never got to know their deaf actors. Sean Berdy accuratelyactorcommunity share on social
The more people that learn sign language, the better. This is part of my life, but it's not part of everybody's life, so it's nice to expose this to the world. Sean Berdy exposelanguagelearn Change image and share on social
The availability of roles for deaf actors has always been very limited. After 'Switched at Birth' began including deaf actors, a ripple effect has definitely been created in the industry. 'Switched at Birth' has made an impact for the better. Sean Berdy actoravailabilitybegin share on social
I love to talk about the drums and music. I started playing drums when I was probably six and played a lot until I was about ten or eleven years old. So, I guess five or six years where I played. I had a drum set at home, and I would just bang on it. I'd even go on the Internet and study basic beats and so forth. Sean Berdy bangbasicbeat share on social

Planking is not as easy as you think, but it was very addicting to do in public! I liked the fun attention from the people when planking. Sean Berdy addictingattentioneasy Change image and share on social
Deaf people are struggling to find their favorite show or something that represents them. It's hard. There are some examples of shows that have a deaf storyline in one episode, like Cold Case, or another show where they are focusing on the cochlear implant or the medical aspect.

I smile every time I hear that I'm a fan favorite or a teenage hottie. It is a nice compliment, and the remarks from the fans are great. Sean Berdy complimentfanfavorite Change image and share on social
There are two worlds: the deaf world and the hearing world. There are some people in the deaf community that feel that hearing people look down on us. Sean Berdy communitydeaffeel Change image and share on social
