Whether it\u2019s rapping<\/a> on A Different World<\/em>, or cracking hilarious jokes<\/a> as a stand-up comedian, no door ever remains closed for CJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had the pleasure of interviewing CJ and learning more about working as a Deaf actor in an industry that has only just started changing its perspective on Deafness. CJ shared insight into his role in the new blockbuster film Baby Driver<\/em><\/a>, dished about his company Sign World TV<\/a>, and answered a few other questions about his upbringing and personal mission as a Deaf actor.

To the right is a video from our interview with CJ in which he signed his responses. The text in this story is transcribed from his interpreter\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
