Jack Callister... Sorry, what I meant was that he's a good actor regardless. I don't think he was handed the role simply because he is autistic. That being said, I agree with you that it makes it better in a way...but on many levels, and not just on the acting, IMO, if that makes sense.
nat on2 Don't be sorry I just think that people are a little too afraid to be called insensitive and disrespectful. I agree that he probably wasn't given the role just because of his autism. I'm autistic, high functioning yet it still affects. Take it from me I don't think anyone needs to be worried about being offensive, one of the biggest parts of accepting people differences is not being scared to talk with them or about them like you would anyone else, yet still taking account of their differences. Actually in a more accepting society labels and diagnosis would not be necessary, just ultimate respect and understanding if you are being so particular as to not be offensive, trust me that's too much effort.
Anthony...I am so proud of you! It was such a pleasure working with you as your Career Coordinator. I told you it was possible!!! We transformed your dream into a reality.
Hi Jocelyn this is Anthony. Thank you for supporting me, and my show, and also helping me take steps into getting what I always wanted. I know you cared deeply for me. I think you do an amazing job assisting people. especially people with special needs. I hope I do see you again sometime in the future.
I know this is an old post, but with a brother on the spectrum this show had meant so much to us. Now knowing that anthony is on the spectrum and achieved his dream makes the show mean so much more. My brother is on the lower end of the asperger spectrum and struggled with socializing. He would draw in class (making whole comic books) and would make eraser people which would sometime get him in trouble. The school he used to be in during kindergarten had a horrible teacher who directly told my mom that "he is retarded" end quote. But even with such hate filled words he tested two grades above his learning curve. We transferred him to a new school and the made an ISP and worked with him for 5 years. He now has an amazing group of friends and is an aspiring pianist (and a good one too). I'm so proud of what he overcame, and this show holds a special place In all our hearts. Best of luck for an amazing career, you have mezmarized us all with you personality and talent.
I think Kristen Stewart might be an undetermined undiagnosed autistic woman, I watched the Robin Rashid video and she said, This role was created for Anthony. I feel like he’s like me, uses a lot more interjection than words. Looks a bit like me too
I love this kid. Anthony has grit and will not let anything stand in his way. Autism will NOT deter my life in any way shape or form. Anthony is an inspiration to us all. Anthony has the insight that acting de-stresses him. My hat is off to the kid and I truly am inspired by him. God bless you Anthony for showing us as a society to take what God have given us and go for it. KUDOS.
This dude was so funny on the first two seasons of Atypical! I didn’t even know he actually had ASD in real life until now! Hope he succeeds with the acting thing if he chooses to do more roles!
Acabei de assistir o filme quase uma rockstar e vim pesquisar sobre vc,parabéns a vc por sua atuação e parabéns aos produtores . Espero vê lo em outros filmes
He doesn't seem nervous to me at all but having cameras on you is super nerve wracking so even if he was nervous, laughing at someone for having a completely basic reaction to something is odd. Also yes I know I am commenting on a 3 year old comment but your comment is so odd to me.
He went to my high school! This is so cool im so happy for him!!!
He was great on the show. Some of the funniest lines! Good actor...didn't realize he is autistic (not that it matters).
nat on2 Well it kinda does it makes it better in a way, maybe someone without autism could not act in that way to the same standards

@@aspiretospidey You're right to some extent but Claire Danes did a great job acting as Temple Grandin
The bad guy singer is autistic female.

I really like the fact that people who are actually on the spectrum get chances to act in this show. Amazing

Christopher is hilarious! I HOPE HE'S BACK EVERY SEASON. LOVE YOU MAN
He really is hahahahaha very underrated character
Agree. Casey and Evan don't deserve all that hype they're just boring and intrusive
Really some of the funniest scenes involved Anthony.
Puriod😂😂

Beautiful! Are you a relative of his?

He's a great actor and a really nice guy!
Just saw him in "All together now" on Netflix and instantly recognised him!!
I just discovered "Atypical" today and love it. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview, Anthony! Congratulations on your role.
what a lovely young man - and a VERY compelling actor
Loving that they casted more people on the spectrum for season 2 as well! Such a great show!
Anthony im so proud of you!!!! Congratulations!! Love you!!!
While Atypical is an imperfect show, it's my favorite autism representation I've seen so far. Anthony Jacques did a great job!
He’s definitely did a good job playing as one of the funniest characters on Atypical. Definitely gives autism a good name like Sam does.
Thanks for this interview! Loved it!
Man that dudes character is funny as hell. I hope they do more with him
Love the show and love Anthony!
Love his role .. steals every scene.
I love Anthony hes my favorite character!!!
I like this guy he's cute (:
This show is really well done

He's really human* (and has the funniest line in the whole series).
its hard to relax on camera getting interviewed idiot.
