TIL John Krasinski fought for a deaf actress Millicent Simmonds to be cast in 'A Quiet Place'; she taught everyone sign language on set.

  I doubt the star, co-writer, and director had to fight very hard to get a deaf actress into a movie where sound (or lack thereof) is one of the main plot points.

    Studios and producers, the people who pay for the movie and ultimately end up being the people who make decisions about what to do with the movie after it is made, like re-editing and distribution. There could have been a very real fight with a producer who wanted a big named star to be more recognizable than an unknown.

  This is good but John Krasinski is still a talentless hack.
