(Ironic, considering that Marlee Matlin starred in the movie version of <em>Children of a Lesser God</em> playing the character Phyllis Frelich created on Broadway, but I digress...) Apparently, this is an example of what is called <a href="http://deafness.about.com/cs/archivedarticles/a/jonahsyndrome.htm" rel="nofollow">Jonah Syndrome</a>.

Jason Hay-Southwell was confirmed on Jan 19th, 2007 but due to not having a press agent nor being as pretty as she, he got no air time nor ANY recognition. He has Deaf parents and has been an RID nationally certified interpreter for more than 20 years. He lives in South Florida. Marlee was not the only interpreter on the field.
