No matter the language, it’s easy to understand love, and Troy Kotsur’s Oscar-nominated performance in “CODA” has captured the hearts of audiences.
In"CODA"--which stands for Child of Deaf Adults--Kotsur plays Frank Rossi, a fisherman from Gloucester, Massachusetts. He's married to his wife Jackie , and they have two kids: Leo and Ruby . Ruby is hearing while her parents and brother are deaf.
One of the most moving parts of the film is when Frank asks Ruby to sing for him and he places his hands on her neck to feel the vibrations. For that scene, Kotsur drew inspiration from an experience he had with his own daughter Kyra, who he shares with his wife Deanne Bray. As for his favorite scenes, Kotsur cited one where the family attends Ruby's recital. At one point in her performance, the film's audio fades and it's completely silent.
