Watching those clips, I think I would have enjoyed an Eric Stolz version of Back to The Future.
his most notable role for me was the drug dealer in Pulp Fiction. Another one whose career kind of just tailed off.
He was very good in Caprica (prequel to Battlestar Galactica, 2000s version), which ultimately didn't work out as a series as it was cancelled during the first season but I loved it and he was one of the main reasons.

I'm sure he is - nobody who made Psychoville and Inside Number 9 could be anything but!
I think Rose's comments may be because by suggesting a cure for deafness it may feel like there's something 'wrong' with her, and that she has had a life lacking in something, when she feels she hasn't.
I understand the Down's Syndrome response to some extent, too. Sally's view is that Down's people may not look to your 'normal' human as if they have an enriched, fulfilled life, but they do - it's just not what non-Down's-people consider enriched and fulfilled. So her point is that we shouldn't eradicate Down's people from the world and treat them as inferior or something to be dealt with. If my child had Down's I imagine I'd feel the same way.
In a sense I can see where they are coming from but I just find their feelings of "heartbreak" and "fright" really OTT since it isn't being forced and never would be, and because let's face it would most people willingly choose to have what the majority would consider difficuties to deal with?
I don't know who Sally is but it appears Rose has had a lovely upbringing with tons of support and likely no big money worries... that won't be the case for a lot of people who have disabilities.
It's all about individual choice isn't it so that's why I can't relate to Rose, Sally's etc reactions. It's like they are trying to shame people who would want to "fix" their own issues or parents who'd have to make a choice for their little children. I think that's very wrong.
