The Angus Project, an upcoming ABC comedy pilot that drops in December, presents disability on screen in new ways.

It is loosely based on the real-life story of actors Angus Thompson and Nina Oyama.

Angus is a 26 year-old actor from Bathurst who has cerebral palsy.

Nina was Angus’ carer during his Public Relations studies. Together, they would often “go to parties, get super drunk…get semi-regrettable tattoos and eat hangover food.”
