Where the actors in wheelchairs disbled actors or just playing them on TV?: Curb Your Enthusiasm

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" continues to be funny in the most surprising, totally un-PC ways, but the humor is always generous and uplifting, you're never laughing at characters, it's never mocking - except for the central character himself, Larry David, who can certainly take it, with his success and prowess. Episode I saw last night - Larry meets girl in coffee shop, asks her out, as she moves around the table he sees to his surprise that she's wheelchair bound. This leads to dilemma for him, but he comes to realize that it will be a great asset to his character to show that he's broadminded enough to date someone "handicapped" (he doesn't quite know how to address this issue: are you handicapped? disabled? challenged? - I am right now, she says). Again, the plot clicks beautifully, with the subplot - his public tiff with Rosie O'Donnell leading to a takedown in a fight over who's picking up the tab for lunch, merging with the main plot, in which Larry invites two "wheelies" to the same private party and both show up - so pushes one date into the coat closet - the two "wheelies" chase him through the house while a classical recital takes place (shades of the Marx brothers), he thinks he'll evade them by going up the stairs, but Rosie picks up the pursuit. Insane, very funny in a wholehearted way. I wonder if the two beautiful women in wheelchairs are actually disabled actors. I hope so - not that I wish those two to be disabled of course, but I think it's great that casting is now seeking disabled actors to play the roles of the disabled - old high-school friend Henry Holden leading the charge on that issue.
