Eileen Grubba: Promoting Diversity in Hollywood

Ask Jordan a question!In the latest episode of What's Your Limp? Jordan sits down with actor Eileen Grubba to talk about her limp - which, like Jordan, is a literal limp. Eileen has been discriminated against countless times, losing out on roles because of her limp and even told by people in the industry that she'll never work because she walks funny.  However, despite all of that, Eileen has persevered and built a career and resume that the vast majority of actors would envy - appearing in shows such as Sons of Anarchy, Watchmen, Hung, Nip/Tuck and more.Not only is Eileen an incredibly accomplished actor, but she is an advocate for other actors with disabilities and handicaps. She has been at the forefront in the fight for inclusion and has done everything she can to get trained, disabled actors the opportunities that they've been refused for far too long.This might be the guest that Jordan has the most parallels with in terms of their struggles, insecurities and backstories and we hope that all of you will be just as moved by her story than we were!Support the show
