But such statements apparently didn't trigger an inquiry. "I was astounded and went to multiple faculty and asked why he was even in the Army," the officer said. "Political correctness squelched any opportunity to confront...
...Each episode focuses on a different contestant. There's Will, a man long on bitterness and - like many of the children of mothers who were prescribed Thalidomide to prevent morning sickness - short of limb. The character is brought to the screen by Mat Fraser, a performer so determined to transcend his disability that he became a rock drummer before turning to acting. April, a research scientist suffering from cherubism, a condition that causes severe facial disfigurement, is played by first-time actor and cherubism sufferer Victoria Wright. Peter Mitchell, another debut performer, had looked forward to a career...
