CODA's Troy Kotsur Tells Marlee Matlin That Her 1987 Oscar Win Gave Him Hope as an Actor

The interpreter guy is also insanely talented. A huge shout out to him!

I really hope Troy is able to find more roles. I barely needed to look at his hands or read the subtitles because I could perfectly see what he was trying to convey in his expressions. Easily the most deserved Oscar since Brody won for the Pianist.

Love how Drew talks slower and clearer so Marlee and Troy can really be a part of the conversation and not totally relying on the interpreters

I loveee Marlee and Troy and they deserve all this recognition ❤

This is the most I ever heard Marlee talk! Always been a fan, I’ll have to check this new project of theirs Also, you can truly tell that drew is thankful for her connection to Marlee, she almost teared up.

I love Marlee & Troy ❤️❤️ Also the interpreter OMG!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This episode was incredible. The interview with Marlee and Troy was inspiring and lovely. I wanna learn how to do sign language now.

I binged watch Marlee Matlin in “Reasonable Doubts” when I was in college back in early 90’s. I’ve learned sign language since then ❤️

This film changed my life. I recommend it to every single one of my music students.

He proved if we,humans use our mind to spread knowledge and peace, then physical challenge is not a roadblock. Infact , this becomes more inspiring though. Troy like your name, you tried and did a legendary work .Thnx for This beautiful, lovely movie to be watched by forthcoming generations . God bless you and your dedicated, creative team.

Thank you to the interpreters for helping to be a bridge between the deaf and hearing social groups.

Proud of you two 👏 Troy well deserving winner🏆

Sign Language is incredibly beautiful, watching you deaf people use it is beautiful and I think your fascinating culture should and will play a bigger role in all of our lives. It's clear that this kind of authenticity is impossible to be acted by hearing actors! Lots of love to the deaf community from Germany❤❤❤

Troy's acceptance speech should have been the highlight of the Oscars this year. It's sad that it was overlooked because of two people's narcissistic egos.

CODA is honestly one of my top ten films ever!! I watched it very recently & it was so touching & all of the main characters totally deserve Oscars. Its the most beautiful film ❤❤

Their all so sweet every last person sitting on that couch

Thanks Drew for having two of my favorite deaf heroes on your show! ❤️🤗🤟

Everyone needs to watch this movie, it’s amazing!!

I love seeing deaf actors representing these rolls and bringing awareness to their community, I hope it inspires more hearing people to learn ASL and value this language, anyone who is hearing today could lose that sense tomorrow. As we grow older most of us become hard of hearing, nothing has been more destressing to me working with elders than seeing the isolation they experience as a result of hearing loss. If we all could sign then we could naturally start incorporating signing with our elders as they become hard of hearing and be more inclusive with the deaf community at the same time 💕

CODA is an adaption of the french movie  “La Famille Bélier.” Love to see more of Troy and Marlee. Drew is so sweet and real, down to earth in comparision from others in the filmindustry.
