Actress Angel Giuffria in Alleles Design Studio prosthetic cover. The 28-year-old has appeared in films such as The Accountant alongside Ben Affleck and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 with Jennifer Lawrence.“A lot of times when they have a character with difference, they want to make that character only about the difference,” Giuffria said. “I wore my fake arm originally—which looks very real and fleshy, but has little function—because I thought that was my way into acting: ‘I’ll trick em.’ Then I realized once I got the opportunities, a lot of times doors would close very quickly because they felt deceived or they were being close-minded or it couldn’t work for that project. Also, I can’t audition for something unless it’s written. I got my prosthesis four years ago and I decided this is me, this is who I am, and I’m not going to hide that. So now I’ll walk in there with my bionic arm and audition unless it’s, well, a period piece,” Giuffria laughs. “Obviously not then.”(Great article) -- source link
