Frank Rossi: Last News

Wilson Chapman editorJust five months after nabbing a best supporting actor Oscar for his turn as deaf fisherman Frank Rossi in best picture “CODA,” Troy Kotsur nearly lost the little gold man. On Saturday, the “CODA” star’s Oscar statuette was stolen in a car robbery, according to NBC News.The robbery occurred on Saturday, while Kotsur was visiting his hometown of Mesa, Ariz. to be honored for his Oscar win.

Jay Ruderman There were several beautiful, gratifying moments at the 94th Academy Awards. But you would not necessarily know that by watching the viral videos circulating social media that emerged in the immediate aftermath of the ceremony, which focus on one particular distasteful incident.Today, it is time to let the dust settle on the so-called “slap heard around the world” and shift the conversation to “CODA,” enabling this year’s Best Picture winner to receive the attention and accolades it deserves.The narrative surrounding the success of “CODA” — which also took home Oscars for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Troy Kotsur) and Best Adapted Screenplay — encompasses much more than initially meets the eye.

Troy Kotsur is operating on one hour of sleep, but he’s still smiling ear to ear. It’s Monday, the morning after he became the second deaf performer in Academy history to win an acting award at the Oscars (after his “CODA” co-star Marlee Matlin, who took home best actress in 1987 for “Children of a Lesser God”).

The 2022 Oscars witnessed many history making moments despite the physical altercation between Will Smith and host Chris Rock fast becoming the most talked about scene from the ceremony. Will, 53, lashed out at Chris after he teased Jada, 50, saying that he could not wait to see her in the next 'G.I. Jane' movie which appeared to be a reference to her shaved head, despite the actress opening up about having alopecia and struggling with hair loss.

The big finale! CODA took home the award for Best Picture at the 2022 Oscars on Sunday, March 27.

CODA on deaf culture at the BAFTAs 2022.Kotsur, who made history by becoming the first deaf actor to win Best Supporting Actor at the BAFTAs for his role as Frank Rossi, spoke to NME on the red carpet about how the Apple TV film has opened up the world to the deaf perspective.“I feel like CODA has had a tremendous impact on the world and hearing people are beginning to see a new perspective, to really have an authentic birds-eye-view into deaf culture, ASL and what a child of a deaf adult means and that experience,” Kotsur said.“And really remind people all over to cherish their families because a lot of people have passed away and lost their lives during the pandemic – that’s been a tremendous impact – and so our film can now remind people you can have a feel good message, you can feel inspired. That’s what’s truly important about the message of our film.”Asked about his favourite moment from the reaction to CODA, Kotsur added: “I sat in the audience watching our film right where we have 30 seconds of silence and the hearing audience is not used to it, and that’s exactly what my life has been like, a life of silence.“So for just 30 seconds of silence it was so wonderful for me to finally let the hearing world in as a fly-on-the-wall to the deaf experience.
