Troy Kotsur says that sharing his love of “Tom and Jerry” with his friends inspired him to be an actor: “There was no dialogue. It was just cat and mouse chasing each other... All the deaf kids were together on the bus, and I’d tell them about the episode” bit.ly/3ITdTcA

“Some of these kids didn’t even have a TV at that time,” says Kotsur. “I would share the story about ‘Tom and Jerry,’ and I’ll never forget seeing their eyes light up and their reactions and laughter.” bit.ly/3ITdTcA

“It made me feel so good,” he notes. “It was there something clicked. I wanted to continue that feeling. That led me to stage acting, TV and film.” bit.ly/3ITdTcA

Will Smith has released a statement after last night's incident at the #Oscars: "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable." bit.ly/3uxeGuV

Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally,” Smith wrote on Instagram. bit.ly/3uxeGuV

“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.” bit.ly/3uxeGuV
