“FDR has always been a role model of accomplishment for me,” says Toy of playing the late president, who was also wheelchair-bound. “I tip my hat to NBC and the producers of Annie Live! for authentically casting a person with a disability for this role. I'm proud to represent the community and hope that we will continue to see more of the Disability community in roles across entertainment media."
