Well, here is my 2 cents worth. If you want to do a story about someone with ALS, have someone with ALS portray it. James Woods did an okay job. I wonder though where and how they did their research. The idea was however to get awareness out there. I hope that it does. I have been through all of the stages of als, and felt that they could have dealt more with certain issures. But, I was not the producer or the director. I think that we have to remember, this was acting, and not real life, unfortunatley it may or may not send out mixed messages. I still maintain that if you want to do a show about such a high adversity diesease as als, have someone with als portray the message, because there would definately not be any acting involved!
Have a nice day all, and stay strong,
