Right leg (below the knee) amputee

Very athletic and physically fit

I went totally blind and lost my limb from a car accident in 2005. I continue to test my abilities and stay very active in wakeboarding and snowboarding, becoming the first blind amputee to snowboard in an adaptive ski program in Winter Park Colorado. I’ve done a low budget wakeboard photo shoot for a nonprofit organization. I am looking forward to pursuing new areas of print and extra film work.

I am an above the knee amputee.  I lost my left leg in a golf cart accident.  My life experience has made me look at life differently.  “Life is too short so just LIVE.  I would love to be casted in any acting capacity.

I have done some work with an agency Amputees in Action
http://amputeesinaction.co.uk/

I will be graduating with a Bachelors in professional photography. I aspire to continue with my photography focusing on advertising.

Have modeled, danced and acted, but not for many years. I'd like to work as an actress, but am not interested in "background," or extra work. I'd like to see amputees becoming more visible in roles which don't portray them as victims--fully developed characters who just happen to be amputees (obviously that would be a part of the character development). 

As an aside, I'd also love to do radio, but my reason for being here is to try to drive a strong, positive influence in which we, as amputees, are seen as a whole... not a sum of our "missing parts."

I am a certified Personal Trainer.  I love mixing it up with all people, young and old, handicapped and not.  I grew up going to catholic schools where being involved in school plays was the norm.  I would love an opportunity to participate in any acting roles. 

Anything that can bring my handicap to the attention of others is without a doubt positive.  I imagine a world where people look and feel good and secure about ones self no matter how they look.  I know I would be a great asset to Amputees in Hollywood.

My name is Jason. I am a double AK, BK amputee. I enjoy acting and performing rock music. (I am a bass player.) I was cast for a part in Eli Roth's Cabin Fever.

My name is Nadja, I am a police officer in Puerto Rico.  When I was 22, I lost my left leg (below the knee) on duty... I've never been acting before, but, I think its never late to do what we want...
 
Me llamo Nadja, y soy policia en Puerto Rico.  A mis 22 y en cumplimiento del deber, perdi mi pierna izquierda debajo de la rodilla. Nunca he actuado ni nada, pero me gustaria hacerlo algun dia y aqui estoy porque nunca es tarde...

Below the knee

My name is Tara and I was born without my left hand. When I was younger I was very involved in dancing and performing arts. I also love music, singing and recently I have gotten a guitar pick device made so I can learn to play guitar.  

In the last few years, I have come out so much and have a new found confidence in myself as an amputee. I have a new awareness of the beauty and individuality that this gives me as a person. I would love the chance to showcase this new confidence and my pride in my body. I am interested in pursuing modeling and/or acting. sw

I am Jenny, originally from Korea.  Most of time I am staying either Hong Kong or Vancouver (Canada)

My height is 5' 7" with dark eyes.

I became an LAK in 2002 due to motorcycle crash.

I love to try some modeling or acting if I have a chance!

I do not have any experience on modeling or acting but willing to learn new things.

I'm my music career and I would love to be a part of this.

Michelle has worn a prosthetic leg and battled through a significant physical disability to find success as an athlete, a model, and now a singer / songwriter. 

As much as her prosthesis is a part of her everyday life, it's something she doesn't allow herself to dwell on. “My leg has made me a very strong person. I've gone through a lot of hard times, but a lot of good times. They've allowed me to grow and kept me grounded while giving me a different attitude in life.”

Working through school to become a certified Orthotist and Prosthetist.

I am a right leg Symes amputee.  I was athletic growing up and still enjoy sports. 

I've always wanted to be in movies, like many kids, when I was younger.  And now is my chance to "make it big", or just have a little fun!!!

Working on my third movie this summer in Ontario, Canada as a stunt actor - "Real Zombies"

I am a below the knee amputee and am missing the index finger on my right hand.

Award winning photographer, video producer and photo editor with powerful narrative skill. Dynamic public speaker and an extreme extrovert.

Appeared in Special Interest Projects & Documentaries.  Sang & performed for a Television Public Service Program. I have been an above the knee amputee for 34 years.  It's amazing to me that I have been a cancer survivor for that long - I am truly blessed.  I would love to be a part of something so positive & supportive for all amputees. 

I am currently involved in some writing projects & running my foundation.  I would really really like to get involved with writing and/or modeling of some kind. I would really enjoy being a part of creating a better understanding of amputee's in general as well as showing a positive view of how life goes on and just how powerful that can be.

Double amputee/wheelchair user. Actor/writer/director. Want to get back involved in the acting end.  I have years of experience on stage, mostly with community theater. I I do have some theater background although no experience with film or professional work.

Remain enlisted in the USMC, however I became a double above the knee amputee resulting from combat injuries in Afghanistan.  I remain active, athletic and motivated.  I am hoping to expand my career options to other areas beyond military enlistment. Compete in Paralympics events when the logistics fit in with my schedule.  I use several prosthetic devices whose function is determined by my activities.
