Angel Giuffria, bionic woman and disability advocate, can be seen on Chicago Med, FBI: Most Wanted, Snowpiercer, as well as on films such as The Tomorrow War. Today, she joins Sam to dissect her experience in the industry and the nuances of being an actor with a limb difference. Having been born with only one arm, Angel speaks about how her mom always taught her that what makes her different is actually her strength. She mentions the harm that came along with having such low visibility of disabled people in media when growing up, and how that translated into her believing she shouldn't take up too much space when acting on set. It wasn't until Director Martin Campbell made her a featured extra on the film Green Lantern that she began to see that she could (and should) take up space — that she could act in roles that had nothing to do with her disability. Angel also speaks about the how far commercials have come in regards to disability representation and just how far TV and Film still have to go. In terms of her acting career, Angel goes into depth about how her disability has shifted her casting type and how it even changed the framing of her headshots. She explains her feelings on abled actors portraying characters with disabilities, how to make stories more inclusive, the need to make sets and casting offices more accommodating to those with disabilities, her thoughts on being labeled "inspirational" for simply doing everyday tasks, the value of having disability consultants on set, and how the industry should work towards having more diversity across the board in every category. At the end of the day, we all love this industry and should want to open up opportunities for all actors of every community to be able to audition for any role. That love for what we do doesn't mean it's not a difficult industry to be in. While Angel has a Master's degree in Psychology, acting is what makes her heart whole and what she chooses to continue to pursue despite all of its ups and downs. When things get tough, she reminds us that we all just have to keep going and try to do the things that remind us why this is the thing we simply can't not do.

This week I interview the lovely, talented, and down to earth Angel Giuffria. Angel is a congenital amputee who is missing a large portion of her left arm. She has used prosthetics all throughout her life and currently uses a bionic arm, which allows her to grip and rotate her hand. We cover all sorts of interesting topics, so please enjoy our wide-ranging interview. Currently Angel is keeping quite busy by working as an actress, informing the masses through public speaking, and grinding out the rest of her graduate school program. Find more of Angel on twitter at https://twitter.com/aannggeellll or on her imdb page at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6262260/?ref_=nmmd_md_nm
Could humans one day scrap our flesh-and-blood limbs for bionic ones? High-tech prosthetics are improving in leaps and bounds, so bionics seemed like the perfect topic for the fourth episode of our Futuropolis podcast. In the past few years, researchers have developed bionics that can act on signals from muscles--we talk to actress Angel Giuffria, who uses one--and even the brain. And we speak with a researcher who’s working on prosthetics that give the wearer a sense of touch. We also look at prosthetics from the past, when they were far less advanced. For that, we turn to a couple of 1940s stories in the Popular Science archives. But for the future, bionics could go beyond replacing body parts--and start augmenting them. As inventor Dean Kamen reminds us, this idea is not that crazy: If you’re reading this thanks to corrective lenses, you’re already participating in such a world. Hugh Herr, who co-directs the Center for Extreme Bionics at MIT and is a member of the IEEE, helps us see what that future will look like if bionics go even further. Plus, we dive into the philosophical questions of the difference between human and machine. Futuropolis is a biweekly podcast on the Panoply network.
