Dear Mr. Gad,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite movies that you were in were Marshall and Disney Frozen franchises. Marshall was a great biopic movie about how Thurgood Marshall started his early career as a NAACP lawyer who defends people of color who are wrongfully accused of a crime due to racial prejudice. In Marshall, I thought you did an excellent job portraying as Sam Friedman because I like on how you made him have different unique traits like working with Thurgood Marshall on helping represent Joseph Spell, an African American who is wrongfully accused of a crime, using his lawyer skills to evaluate different witness stamens including evidence to the case, having a passion of being against racial injustice, and continuing to work with Thurgood Marshall along with have a friendship with him when they would have different methods on handling a case or other differences. Marshall did an excellent job emphasizing the need to stand up against racial injustice, the need to reduce wrongful convictions, and the importance of civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination. Disney Frozen franchises (Frozen and Frozen 2) are great Disney movies about Snow Queen Elsa, Ann, Elsa’s sister, Kristoff, and Oalf going on a journey.  Mr. Gad, I thought you did an excellent job portraying as Olaf in Disney Frozen franchises because I like on how you made Olaf have different unique traits like having a sense of humor, helping Elsa, Ann, and Kristoff on their journey, gives helpful advice to them when they struggle. 

Besides your acting career, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes to reduce discrimination. Also on your activism I like on how you are working to address and support organizations to better improve mental health services. Mr. Gad, I have autism with a learning disability.  Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Another thing that I struggle with a disability is when other people including other adults get judgmental about me being different from them and have struggles to find different methods to improve myself.  Also I had done teaching time to help me learn to speak while learn how to improve my behavior, spent time in special education to help me learn different subjects in education, and many others.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes really inspires me to work hard on my disability and helps give me motivation to try to find different methods to improve myself when there are challenges.   Your characters Sam Friedman in Marshall and as Oalf in Disney Frozen franchises helps give me motivation to continue to learn the importance of kindness including compassion, use critical thinking to understand situations, and many others when the world gets tough on me.

I strongly believe that you are a very talented actor. You do such an excellent job making your characters have different unique traits. you truly inspire me to work hard on my disability, be a fan of your work, and continue to try to find different methods to improve myself. I was wondering if you could please take the time to answer my questions. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to make a great difference for society.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
