1. What do you like most on your role in SAB?  

I truly enjoy my role playing the mean girl Natalie! I also love being free to communicate in my native language (ASL) with other Deaf Actors and have hearing people use Interpreters to communicate with us. It is a wonderful opportunity to blend.

 2.  What was the biggest challenge you had working at SAB? (either character or personal challenge) 

The biggest challenge at times is having to slow down my signing speed. I have always signed fast!

3. What was the first sign you learned?  

Haha, I do not remember it, sorry!

4. What was the first sign you learned?  

"I love you" and "Angel".

5. What are your plans for the future? 

I plan to continue acting and inspiring Deaf and Hearing people around the world! I would love to travel the world to raise deaf awareness and donate to deaf schools in need.

Production Mistake & Questions: Season 2 Episode 18 - As the Shadows Deepened

For a long time I was asking myself, can a park employee leave work to go see her boyfriend in the army base? OK, the base is about 3 miles away from the park, and maybe she was on her lunch break, but in view that the whole "Deaf Day" event in Maui Theme Park was under her organization, I really cannot understand how Bay was so relaxed (at work) that she could actually take off to go see Ty and question him about his reaction when he saw her and Emmett watching the movie in the park office.

Mentioning the "incident" that caused Ty to storm out of the park (which by the way, if he was supposed to be working, how did he leave base to go to the park and even buy ice-cream cones?) Can you see the bad editing on this part of the scene? Let me show you:

1st- When Ty comes in with the cones, Bay is seating right next to Emmett:

But then when the cut goes to the camera on Emmett to show his face of disgust, we see Bay really closed to the camera, which means she is in a different distance from Emmett, as we know Ty is close to the camera, we assume that Bay is near Ty on this cut.

But guess what, right after this cut, the camera goes back quickly to Bay for her explanation, and look how far she is again from Ty and near Emmett

Bay even start moving toward Ty a little later

positioning herself near Ty and where she was on what we see on the 2nd picture above.

2nd- We know production of all the episodes must be done very fast and it is not an easy thing to do, we also loved to see the actual "Dawn of the Deaf" on screen, but do we really need to see Emmett scratching his itchy ears? Come on editing group, I'm sure you could have made a quick cut between some takes that didn't have this kind of distraction, don't you think?

For those who doesn't know about deaf people, and we see a bunch of jokes from Sean Berdy himself of people who doesn't understand that deaf people can and do live a normal life. Just because someone is deaf it doesn't mean they do not feel their ears itching, they just the hear the noise of their own scratch..that is the only difference between deaf and hearing.

1. What do you like most on your role in SAB?  

I've always had an affinity towards playing 'the bad guy' which is interesting b/c it's not really at all who i am in life. I think some of the cast members were surprised to find out I'm actually a nice guy. The thing about playing these characters is you have to find the good in them; what made them this way/how were they wronged in their life to make them make such terrible decisions? It's about empathy.

2. What was the biggest challenge you had working at SAB? (either character or personal challenge) 

My answer to 1 pretty much sums it up. playing a womanizing republican politician is about the furthest thing from who I am in life.

3. What was the first sign you learned? 

Well actually playing the character i did, there was no need for me to learn sign language. But i do know some basic signs

4. What was the first sign you learned? 

"nice to meet you"

5. What are your plans for the future? 

I finished shooting for HBO's Looking premiering in Jan. It's a wonderful new show I'm really excited about so hopefully it'll get a 2nd season & I'll be working in beautiful SF! My film TEST is playing festivals currently & will be released to theaters in April. Look for it on DVD/Netflix coming in June! I am so proud to have been a part of such a wonderful show. I think SAB has done something pretty remarkable in the way of starting a lot of conversations that no other show has really tackled yet. Not to mention that everyone on it is incredibly kind, generous & talented. It was one of my best work experiences to date. I only hope Chip Coto makes a return and gets to redeem himself!

We would like to THANKS Matthew Risch for his kindness and attention to our page/blog.

1-¿Qué es lo que más le gusta de su papel en la SAB?

Siempre he tenido una afinidad hacia actuando como 'el malo', que es interesante porque no es realmente como soy en la vida. Creo que algunos de los miembros del elenco se sorprendieron al descubrir que en realidad soy un buen tipo. Lo que pasa al actuar como a estos personajes es que tienes que encontrar lo bueno en ellos, lo que les hizo de esta manera / cómo fueron tratados injustamente en su vida para hacer que ellos tomaran estos tipos de decisiones terribles? Se trata de la empatía.

2- ¿Cuál fue el mayor desafío al que has tenido al trabajar en SAB? (ya sea de carácter o reto personal)

Mi respuesta a la numero 1 más o menos lo resume todo. Actuar como un político republicano mujeriego es lo más alejado de lo que soy en la vida.

3- ¿Cuál fue la primera señal que has aprendido?

Bueno, en realidad interpretando al personaje que hice, no había necesidad para mí de aprender el lenguaje de señas. Pero sí sé algunas señales básicas

4- ¿Cuál es tu señal favorito? Encantado de conocerte

5- ¿Cuáles son tus planes para el futuro? Terminé las grabaciones de “Mirando” para HBO, estrenará en enero, es un nuevo programa maravilloso que estoy muy emocionado por lo que esperamos que va a obtener una segunda temporada y voy a estar trabajando en la hermosa San Francisco! Mi pelicula “TEST” está reproduciendo actualmente en festivales y estara en los cines en abril. Búsquelo en DVD / Netflix viene en junio! Estoy muy orgulloso de haber sido parte de un programa tan maravilloso. Creo SAB ha hecho algo bastante notable en la manera de empezar una gran cantidad de conversaciones que ningún otro programa aún ha abordado realmente. Y mas a parte que todos que trabajan ahy son increíblemente amables, generosos y talentosos. Fue una de mis mejores experiencias de trabajo hasta la hoy. Sólo espero que Chip Coto haga vuelva y se ponga a redimirse!

1-O que você gosta mais no seu papel na SAB?

Eu sempre tive uma afinidade para interpretar 'o cara mau ", que é interessante porque não é realmente nada como eu sou na vida. Acho que alguns dos membros do elenco ficaram surpresos ao descobrir que eu sou realmente um cara legal. A coisa sobre interpreter esses personagens é que você tem que encontrar o “bom” neles, o que os fizeram assim / como foram injustiçados em sua vida para fazê-los tomar tais decisões terríveis? Trata-se de empatia.

2- Qual foi o maior desafio que você teve ao trabalhar em SAB? (personagem ou desafio pessoal) Minha resposta a 1a pergunta praticamente resume tudo. Interpretar um político republicano mulherengo é a coisa mais distante de quem eu sou na vida.

3- Qual foi o primeiro sinal de que você aprendeu?

Bem, na verdade interpretando o personagem que eu fiz, não havia necessidade de eu aprender a linguagem de sinais. Mas eu sei alguns sinais básicos

4- Qual é o seu sinal favorito? Prazer em conhecê-lo

5- Quais são seus planos para o futuro? Eu terminei de filmar “Olhando” para HBO, estréia em janeiro É um novo show maravilhoso, eu estou realmente animado sobre isso espero que ele tenha uma segunda temporada e vou trabalhar na bela cidade de Sao Francisco! Meu filme “TESTE” está sendo exibido atualmente em festivais e será lançado nos cinemas em abril. Procure-o em DVD / Netflix em junho! Estou muito orgulhoso de ter feito parte de um show maravilhoso. Acho que SAB fez algo bastante notável na maneira de começar um monte de conversas que nenhum outro programa tivesse realmente abordadas ainda. Sem falar que todos que trabalham nele sao incrivelmente gentis, generosos e talentosos. Foi uma das minhas melhores experiências de trabalho até hoje.

1-Qu'aimes tu le plus de ton rôle dans SAB? J'ai toujours eu une affinité particulière pour jouer les "mauvais gars" ce qui est intéressant car ce n'est pas vraiment qui je suis dans la vie. Je penses que certains membres du cast ont était surpris de se rendre compte que je suis quelqu'un de sympathique. Un des éléments principal avec ce style de personnage c'est que tu dois trouver du bon en eux; qu'est ce qui les a rendu ainsi/qu'est ce qui les a poussé à prendre autant de mauvaises décisions dans leur vie? Il s'agit d'empathie.

2- Quelle a était la chose la plus difficile pour toi en travaillant sur SAB? (soit en dans ton rôle ou personnellement?) Ma réponse au numéro en fait un bon résumé. Jouer un politicien républicain et coureur de jupons est à l'extrême de qui je suis dans la vraie vie.

3- Quel a était le premier signe que tu as appris?

Le fait de jouer le personnage que j'ai jouer, je n'ai pas eu besoin d'apprendre le language des signes, mais je connais quelques signes de base.

4- Quel est ton signe préferé? "Enchanté"

5- Quels sont tes projets pour l'avenir? Je viens juste de finir de jouer pour "Looking" de HBO qui aura sa première sortie en Janvier. C'est une nouvelle série qui est géniale et j'espère qu'il y aura une deuxième saison en plus je travaillerais dans la magnifique ville de San Francisco. Mon film TEST est en train d'être jouer dans des festivals et va être en sortie aux cinémas en Avril. Attendez vous à le voir en DVD et sur Netflix en Juin.
Je suis fier d'avoir pu faire partie d'une série aussi géniale. Je trouve que SAB a fait un remarquable travail en ce qui concerne le fait de commencer des discussions vis à vis de sujets qui n'ont pas était abordés au préalable. Sans compter le fait que toutes les personnes sur cette série sont incroyablement sympathiques, généreux et talentueux. A l'heure d'aujourd'hui SAB reste ma meilleure expérience d'acteur. J'espère juste que Chip Coto peut revenir et se racheter.

So, let's expect a nice episode of Glee very soon with (as twitter peeps says:) Emmett's mom.

How nice it is for actors to cross over to another show? As we know one of the new cast of Switched at Birth, Max Adler who will be playing Tank on season 3, was on Glee as well. Zoey Deuch, who played Alicia Sawyer, is on the Vampire Diaries and back when The Lying Game was still airing, Blair Redford, who plays Ty Mendoza, was playing Ethan there too, let's not forget about Stephanie Nogueras who plays Natalie was on Grimm, RJ Mitte who plays Campbell, was on Breaking Bad and Gilles Marini who plays Angelo Sorrento is also on 2 Broken Girls airing right now. 

Follow the cast on twitter and find out about more of their different projects! All cast a crew tweets are on our side bar "Cast & Crew" too.

Season 3 New Promo

Is this the end of Switched at Birth?

Lizzy Weiss and Paul Stupin, creator and executive producer of SAB are up to a new cable TV show.

Question here is: Will season 3 be the last season for Switched at Birth?

What will the fans do or think about it?

If Switched at Birth is such a big hit for the network with awards winnings and over 2 million average audience per episode, why would the network (ABC Family) not renew the show for another season?

TIME Magazine consider Switched at Birth ALL ASL Episode one of the TOP 10 best on 2013

According to TIME, Switched at Birth episode "Uprising" is one of the Best Top 10 Episode to watch on 2013. We couldn't be more proud of the crew and cast running this show, but here is the note, from my opinion: there were 21 Episodes of Switched at Birth each one as great as the other, why did TIME chose the all ASL episode? Because it was unique on mainstream TV no other TV show would make a whole episode with no voice dialogues, it had the best deaf cast ever in one place and one thing no one really talked about, it makes all the viewers really paying attention on the show, the audience cannot miss one subtitle or they would be lost on the storyline..that means, about 2 million people were really concetrated on what the TV was showing..which also can mean, they had to be paying attention on the commercial sponsors..hummm???
