Everyone please welcome my wonderful friend and fellow creative Scarlett Dyer to A Broadway Body: Continued Conversations! Scarlett and I met when we both first moved to Los Angeles in 2019 through the Crash Acting community, and we have been friends ever since. Scarlett is an actor, a fashion designer, a costume designer, a writer, and an activist. She designed the wardrobe for my short film, “A Broadway Body,” and she has recently written an original feature film screenplay featuring a female lead who’s in a wheelchair.
Scarlett is a bright, shiny, vibrant incredible force of a human being, not to mention extraordinarily talented, and I am so thrilled for you to hear our conversation. We discuss all things ableism in Hollywood, how Scarlett is working to normalize leading roles that feature disabled actors, and her experience of existing in a wheelchair as an actor. She is making such an impact in the many different creative areas she lives in, and I cannot wait to see where she is ten years from now.
“ When I'm out with my friends at a bar just, like, living my normal life and some old man comes up to me and is like, “I just think it's so great that you're out living your life. You are out in public at night having fun. Good for you,” or someone else is like, “Um, you don't look like you need a wheelchair. Why are you in a wheelchair?” Like, excuse me. Don't look —? What is that? What is that? Talk about body image. Like, what is that? What is that? Because I don't look classified disabled to you? That is so offensive, not only to me, but the entire community because it comes in all different shapes, sizes, forms, everything. ”
- Scarlett Dyer
Scarlett Dyer: Yes, I did just write a screenplay. It is a romcom, and it's called Get Lucky. It's set in Ireland. I went to Ireland about a year ago, and I was just so inspired, and I had so many just ideas coming to me driving around in a van and looking at cows and sheep and I was like, “This is so a romcom. This needs to be romcom.” And I was like, “I have to write this.”
Megan Gill: I love that.
Scarlett Dyer: I literally took things that actually happened and implemented it in a more dramatic way. So it's very close to home to me. And it features a female lead who uses a wheelchair because I'm a wheelchair user, and as an actor and a writer and a designer, that's really what I want to bring into the industry and to the world is a greater representation for this community because it has been so, so underrepresented. And we need a female lead in a romcom who is not tokenized, who is a real person, who is iconic and fun and badass, the whole nine. We need that. We need to see that. So yeah, I wrote it.
Megan Gill: You wrote it, Scarlett! You wrote the damn thing. And also she sounds a lot like the energy that you bring and the energy that you give.
Scarlett Dyer: Oh, I channeled myself. I sort of wrote what I know I guess.
Megan Gill: Right? Isn't that what all the advice tells us to do?
Scarlett Dyer: That's what they all say, just write what you know! And so, I was like, “Okay!” The character, she is different from me in a lot of ways. She's fictionalized. She has things that are a lot different from me, but we share the same disability. In that way we share similarities due to that. But she's different from me, yeah. I wanted to make sure of that.
Megan Gill: Oh, I'm just so glad that you are writing this role, and would the goal be for you to play her?
Scarlett Dyer: I definitely want to play the role, for sure, for sure, for sure. So this is kind of like the first thing I've written. This is my first feature film that I've written, original feature film. But I don't really know where to begin with producing, so I definitely think I might need some help with that area, just getting it to the right people and, you know, me making friends in that kind of way, but acting in it, yes, I'm so down for that. Yeah.
Megan Gill: Yeah. I love that, and I think that's really important and an important way to get your voice out into the world, not only as the writer but also as the person portraying the role as well.
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah, yeah. Yes, thank you for saying that.
Megan Gill: Of course. When I look at you and I look at the work that you're writing and the work that you do and how you show up in acting class and how you show up in the commercials that you're in, and I'm just frickin’ cheering you on because you're right, we do need more representation, and it's unfortunate that the cultural norm just chooses to leave disability out of the conversation a lot of times. They choose to leave a lot of things out, but it's like, this is something I feel like that we are starting to see a little bit more and more, but it’s not the norm. It’s not the go-to, right?
Scarlett Dyer: It’s really not. It's really not. Yeah, it's overlooked, and I am all about representation for all communities, for all marginalized groups. But yeah, you know, the disabled community has been so overlooked. And even going into auditions for these roles, like “wheelchair user,” they don't know what they're looking for. Are you looking for a manual wheelchair? Are you looking for a power wheelchair? It's different and sometimes they don't quite know what to expect, and that can also conflict with casting and it kind of can make it awkward sometimes. And it's like, “Well are you able to do this? Are you able to move your arms in this way and do this sort of thing?” And it's kind of like that sort of dehumanizes it in a way.
So I just really, with this script, it really shows how this character lives her life, and that is really what I wanted to show.
Megan Gill: I feel like that hits for me for you, being able to show up as you are and not have it questioned, not have someone ask you something.
Scarlett Dyer: I get asked so many things.
Megan Gill: I can only imagine. But also it’s so devastating and sad because that just falls down like the emotional labor of that –
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah.
Megan Gill: – constantly, I can imagine, is coming back to you and coming back to you. And yes, there's a lack of education in general in society, in our culture
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah, there is.
Megan Gill: But then showing up in a space, like in the casting office and having these questions asked of you, where we're already, you know, as actors, a lot of times you're showing up to an audition in person. The nerves are already there, and it's not fair for them to be tenfold because you're like, “Well, are they gonna ask me something out of pocket today? What weird question am I gonna have to answer today?”
Scarlett Dyer: And don't get me wrong, there have been so many, so many cool instances where they're so nice and so cool and like so accepting and excited to be casting differently-abled roles. But sometimes they'll just expect that I can do something, and then I show up to the thing and it's like I can't do it. And even some of the things my agent sends me – I had to have a meeting with them and just say, “This is kind of hard for me to do, these kinds of things.” Because doing self-tapes even when it's like, “Okay, well, they're obviously not gonna pick me because I can't do this activity,” you know?
Megan Gill: Mm-hmm.
Scarlett Dyer: Or I can do it, but I can do it in a different way – in my own way.
Megan Gill: You can do it in your own way, right.
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah, where it's like, I'm not sure they're gonna go for that. They're just gonna want somebody who can do it easily, quote “normally,” which I hate.
Megan Gill: Yeah, I hate that too. I'm sitting here thinking do you ever put yourself on tape for those roles where you're like, “They're probably not going to cast me because I quote unquote ‘can't do this’ the way they're probably gonna quote unquote ‘want to see it?’”
Scarlett Dyer: I still do.
Megan Gill: Okay, I love that. I love to hear that.
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah, I still do. Thank you. That’s so supportive!
Megan Gill: Even though I know mentally it potentially could be taxing I to have the preconceived notion that maybe you won't book it, but it's only because I've been there in my own ways as an actor.
Scarlett Dyer: Absolutely.
Megan Gill: And I don't mean to speak for you in that matter.
Scarlett Dyer: No, no, no. That is so accurate. And it's also like, okay, are they gonna see this and be like, “Hmm, nice try sweetie”? And that thought kind of makes me be like sometimes I don't want to do it. But then I over think that, and I'm like, “No, I'm getting in front of these people. It’s fine. I'm just gonna do it. I'm gonna do my best.” And yeah, I just recently did one for a makeup brand and they wanted – I do my makeup in a very unique way, and it's not typical, “Get ready with me.”
Megan Gill: You did a tutorial, and you shared it!
Scarlett Dyer: I did share it.
Megan Gill: And it was incredible, and I'm so glad you did that. It’s also so badass.
Scarlett Dyer: Thank you. That means everything. I love makeup. I've taught myself how to do makeup in my own way. And so yeah, they were like, “Show us how you – show us a little makeup routine.” So I did. I did one for them, and I didn't hear back, and I was kind of getting my hopes up a little because I was like, “Oh, maybe they'll want to feature this unique way of doing makeup.” But it's okay. I don't let it get to me. I just am like, “That's fine. Next!”
Megan Gill: I can see a world in which somebody is going to represent you in that way, someone's gonna be like, “Her. We want her, and we want her way of doing it.”
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah. Yeah. That’s really special.
Megan Gill: It would be incredible to see a beauty spot where you are doing the makeup in your own way.
Scarlett Dyer: I know. Thank you for saying that.
Megan Gill: It's not just you doing it in your own way; you're representing this whole community of people.
Scarlett Dyer: I would love if someone with any sort of disability went into Sephora and saw a video of a makeup brand. You know how they have little displays or something. I would love that if it was like, “Oh my god, look how she's doing her makeup. Maybe I should try it that way. Who is that?”
Megan Gill: I'm getting chills!
Scarlett Dyer: Megan! You're making me get jealous. I want to see that too.
Megan Gill: I want to see that for you and for everyone who moves in this world in – I don’t mean to say in an unconventional way, but in a way that society doesn't deem as –
Scarlett Dyer: As conventional, as normal.
Megan Gill: The way it’s represented in the mass media.
Scarlett Dyer: Yes. Yes, and it’s all about adaptation, really, my body and how I move, how I work, how I do all of the things that I love, like how I draw and all these things. I’ve taught myself through years, and I've never had a bitter bone in my body about using a chair or having, quote, “limitations.” I don't see it as limitations. I see it as kind of my thing, you know?
Megan Gill: Yes, girl. I know, and as your friend, someone who loves you, you're going to get hired for that. I know it. I know it, and the fact that you believe that deep down, I mean, just like everything, it radiates out of you at all moments. The whole time that I've known you, I've always received that type of energy from you, which I also think is really important for you to be representing the disabled community in the media with this type of energy.
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah, thank you for saying that because there's so much taboo around it. I don't know if you've seen, I've been making funny videos about it, literally things people have said to me and how I wish I responded. And it's things like that and things I run into on a daily basis. It's like this wall in my apartment. Let's just normalize this. It's human. I'm not an alien.
I love having conversations with people like you about this, and there's a special way to have the conversation, and it's like not coming up to somebody and being like, “Hey, why are you in a wheelchair?” It's befriending the person and then being like, “So can I ask you about your, and how you – because you're so – the way you move and like the way you work is so cool, and I just want to know more about it.” That is okay with me. I love talking about that. But if it's like said in a rude way, like, “So, like, why are you in a wheelchair”
Megan Gill: Yeah, no. That should never be a thing that's said to you.
Scarlett Dyer: No, and it has, and it's okay. I've grown used to it. It's mainly from random strangers, so I try not to let it bother me. It’s so fucking awkward when I'm out with my friends at a bar just living my normal life and some old man comes up to me and is like, “I just think it's so great that you're out living your life. You're out in public at night having fun. Good for you,” or someone else is like, “You don't look like you need a wheelchair. Why are you in a wheelchair?” Like, excuse me? I don't look –? What is that? What is that? That is body image. Like, what is that? What is that, because I don't look classified disabled to you? That is so offensive not only to me, but the entire community because it comes in all different shapes, sizes, forms, everything. It's so offensive.

Megan Gill: So in light of what you're writing, you are writing this piece for a wheelchair user, right? You mention that a lot of times you'll go in for an audition, maybe for a commercial where the breakdown says wheelchair user. Is the professional life you’re living as an actor right now; are you being sent out for this breakdown that does not mention a wheelchair user? Is that very much in your talks with agents and everything?
Scarlett Dyer: I would say 70-80% of the things my agent sends me, I would say that percentage is non-wheelchair roles. It's just like Gen Z, cool, hip vibe. And that was the Venmo thing. They did not cast a wheelchair, and that's what made me so fucking happy. Same with I booked an AT&T commercial.
Megan Gill: Oh, my gosh, congrats, girl!
Scarlett Dyer: Thank you! I filmed it in the early fall. But you know what? Commercials are great. Commercials are great, but sometimes mm. So yeah, that percentage of commercial work is non-wheelchair specifying, but I do get some that are like, “We want a wheelchair.”
And then in terms of theatrical, most of the things they send me are wheelchair users, which is interesting. Yeah, but some of the things they send me are also non-wheelchair, like this person is just a 20-something-year-old.
Megan Gill: The breakdown doesn’t specify?
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah, and my headshots, they show a peek of the chair. I know, it's cute. I worked with Cathryn Farnsworth and she's the fucking best.
Megan Gill: Your chair is not the star.
Scarlett Dyer: She's not the star, but like she’s the supporting. Her name is Beth. I actually need a new one.
Megan Gill: Scarlett plus Beth. You get both of us when you book.
Scarlett Dyer: Look, it's a package deal, baby. It's a package deal. I worked with Cathryn Farnworth, and oh, my god, she was so amazing to work with. Ugh, I love her. We wanted to show pieces of the chair, so when I get sent in for non-wheelchair-user roles – and my agents have told me, “We submit you for non-wheelchair roles,” and I'm like, “Thank you!” And they're like, “Of course.” They're like, “You're a cool, hip girl.” I'm like, “Thank you. But we just need to show the chair in the picture, so they know, so it's not weird like when you get to the audition and it's like, “Oh, shocker.” I understand that, but, at the same time, why is it like that?
Megan Gill: Why is it like that? Why can’t you just show up as you and have that be accepted? And have that be like, “Hi, welcome, Scarlett!” You’re literally incredible.
Scarlett Dyer: Thank you. I know. That's what I want to change. That's what I want to change. And that's why playing Juliet was so impactful for me because this famous Shakespearean character is not canonically in a wheelchair. However, that does not mean that she could not have been in a wheelchair. Juliet very possibly could have been a wheelchair user, and we just wanted to show this amazing, sexy show. It was just so special and meaningful to me.
And our director, Emilia, who you know. She directed your iconic film. She was just so, so sweet, and the way she worked around my chair and the way she had the stage arranged, and the way she had Romeo around, it was just so beautiful, and I am forever, forever grateful for her for that because that’s how it always should be. I don't want it to ever be awkward for people. And I feel like a lot of times, sometimes it's like, “Oh, well, where are we gonna put her? Where is the chair gonna fit?” you know, this kind of thing. And it's like, “No, let's arrange the set around your chair. Let's arrange the acting around it. Let's include your chair in the acting. Because that’s what I do. Obviously when I'm acting, I have movement, and my chair is kind of an extension of me, so I just include it in the movements of my body. So yeah, it was just really special.
Megan Gill: Thank you for speaking on that because I think that is huge, and what an impactful experience for you. And even just speaking about what my experience of entering Crash was, and I think you were already in class. You were one of my first scene partners.
Scarlett Dyer: I was. I think I was. What scene did we do?
Scarlett Dyer: Oh my God. It was The Favorite.
Megan Gill: But I remember coming into your night of class, and there was no question about whether or not you could move around the space.
Scarlett Dyer: None, and that’s also the acting teacher and the class, Ben.
Megan Gill: Of course, it’s a huge testament to Ben and the whole community. But for me to come in and see that it was just incredible as a witness.
Scarlett Dyer: That's so meaningful.
Megan Gill: And it speaks volumes of Ben Mathes and also the community.
Scarlett Dyer: It really does. The Crash community is so beautiful and so loving, and no one has ever, ever – Ben, I don't even have words. I hope he is listening. Ben, I hope you're listening.
Megan Gill: Hi, Ben!
Scarlett Dyer: Hi, Ben! I literally, I don't even have words for what he has done for me. I was so unsure. I was like, “I want to be an actor, but I don't know if I'm accepted in this space.” And he was just like, “Shut the fuck up. You are.” He literally was just like, “No, here's your ramp. Get the fuck on the stage and do it.” The support he has given and the community of Crash, it's just like no one has ever, ever been like, “Oh, well, I don't know if I can do this scene with Scarlett because this character isn't a wheelchair user.” No, it's never been like that. It's never been like that.
Scarlett Dyer: And I love this community. It's so loving, and all of my friends, like, hello. I literally would have no friends if I didn't have Crash.
Megan Gill: Literally same.
Scarlett Dyer: So if you're looking to audit an acting class, I highly recommend Crash Acting.
Megan Gill: Crash Acting. It’s the place to go. You won't regret it.
Scarlett Dyer: You won't regret it. You will literally cry every time, but in the best way.
Megan Gill: Oh, my god. It's true. I'm bawling every single class.
Okay, my heart, even just expressing that you wanted to act, you wanted to be an actor, because you went to school for fashion design.
Scarlett Dyer: I did.
Megan Gill: And you didn’t act during that period of time?
Scarlett Dyer: I did. So I've kind of always acted. I've gone through different ups and downs and stages in my life where I was like, “Oh yes! I want to be an actor!” But then when I was little, yes, it was like I want to be on stage. I used to want to be a singer. I used to want to sing onstage. Then I kind of got into the teenage years and it was kind of like I let others' opinions get to me. And this is a really sad story, but I feel like it needs to be shared.
So, when I was in high school, I auditioned for Liesl in The Sound of Music, and I was like, “Okay, I love fashion, I love acting, but I really want to do this. I really want to act. I love singing. I want to do it. I'm gonna audition.” And I was so excited, and I got to the audition. I did it. And then after that the teacher, who was also the choir teacher and I was in chorus, I knew her. I was never really her favorite. She had favorites. She had favorites, as they all do.
Megan Gill: I was gonna say, they always do.
Scarlett Dyer: There's always a boy and a girl that are just, “Oh, they're so perfect! They're the perfect musical theater!”
Megan Gill: Oh, I hate it.
Scarlett Dyer: And I don't consider myself a musical theater actor. This was just the high school play. It happened to be Sound of Music because basic, but anyway
Megan Gill: We did Sound of Music in high school too.
Scarlett Dyer: Of course you did! It's so basic. Were you in it?
Megan Gill: No. I didn't make it.
Scarlett Dyer: Me either, girl. So here's the tea. I literally didn't get a callback. They had callbacks for this small-town, high-school fucking play. And I was like, cool, cool. I wasn't bitter. I was just like, “Okay, maybe I need to improve a little.” Maybe I need to take lessons, singing lessons, acting like, whatever.
So I went to the choir teacher slash director, and I said, “So I'm just curious, is there something I can work on to, you know, perfect – or not perfect, but get better at my craft of what I want to do?” And she was like, “Sweetie, no. You have the voice; you have the talent. It's just this show requires dancing, and you can't dance. And also Liesl is the tallest of the Von Trapp children, and you are in your chair, and you're shorter than the youngest. So it would just look weird in the lineup. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be right for you to be on this stage in this show.” And that kind of broke me. That really fucking broke me. I'm not gonna lie.
After that it was like, stage fright. Nope. No. I'll study fashion. I'll costume design. Yeah, I started with costume design, but then I turned into fashion, and I was like, okay, I can have my acting in this way. I can be a part of that community through designing the clothes for the actors. And it made me sick because what I really wanted to do was act and then I got here.
Megan Gill: Wait, so can you give me a timeline of about how old you were when that conversation happened?
Scarlett Dyer: I was 16 when that happened. Yeah, and then I moved out here when I was 18, and my mom was just like, “Look, fuck these hoes. I think you need to do this. you’re a fucking actor since day one. You've always wanted to be on stage. Do it. What are you doing? Do it.”
So I stayed in fashion school, and I'm so glad I did because I loved it. But I got signed with an agency, and I was so happy. And then I got in Crash, and I told Ben the whole trauma story of that, and my entire world shifted on its head. I was literally like, “No, fuck that. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna make a change in the industry and in the world, and I'm not gonna say her name because I don't want to get called out, but you know who you're girl.
Megan Gill: You know what you did.
Scarlett Dyer: You know what you did. So yeah, and this is the head space – of course, I still get in my head like, you know, as we all do. It’s the not only am I good enough, but also what if they chicken out and they're like, “Oh, we're just gonna cast an able-bodied person and put them in a wheelchair.” Like, “Ugh, this is too much work.”
Megan Gill: No, no, no, no, no.
Scarlett Dyer: Like, no. And that's a huge thing now. So I still have that fear, but I know I'm gonna do my damnedest to change it, to change that whole thought process and scenario.
Megan Gill: We need you, and we need your voice. And I'm so, so proud – proud of you? I'm proud of your mom.
Scarlett Dyer: I know. I'm so grateful for her.
Megan Gill: I don't know, proud of her feels like a weird thing to say, but it's like I'm so glad that she advocated for you and that you advocated for yourself.
Scarlett Dyer: Oh my god, let me tell you about this woman. Oh my god, she raised me the way I am to be like nothing can stop me. Nothing can stop me. She never ever was like, “You can't do that because you're in a wheelchair,” ever. My dad also, but my mom and I have a different relationship, and we're honestly more like sisters, it feels like a lot of the time. And we vibe on – we're just so similar. She fought for me so many times.
There was another instance where I auditioned for this new theater program. I was 13, and the stage was not accessible, so I couldn't even – the auditions were on the stage. I couldn't even get on the stage to do the audition, so I had to do the stage on the floor in front of everyone, and the room was full of everyone, every teenager in the upstate New York area who was auditioning, and I was terrified. I did a monologue from Twilight, and I did the “Flightless Bird” song in the prom scene in Twilight. I sang that shit, and everyone else did musical theater, and I was like, “Nope. I'm gonna do Twilight.
Megan Gill: “I’m gonna do my own thing. Hell yeah.”
Scarlett Dyer: So I didn't get in, and the guy, the director of the thing, called my mom and was like, “We wanted more than anything to get Scarlett in here, but we just can't because the stage isn’t inaccessible,” and my mom was like, “So build a fucking ramp,” and he was like, “It's in a school, so we don't have the rights to do that.” “So ask the school’s superintendent or whatever,” and he was like, “We don't have the –.” It was just excuse after excuse after excuse. And finally she was like, “Okay, then find a different space. If you really want her to be a part of your project, you can find something that will accommodate her.” And he was like, “We don't have the funds for that.” So she was just like, “Okay, this is gonna devastate her, but okay.”
So that was sort of the first breaking point, and then the Sound of Music thing happened, and I was like, “Oh cool, I'm gonna – I'm done. No.” Then I moved to LA, and I was like –
Megan Gill: Bye, bitches!
Scarlett Dyer: Bye, bitches! Bye, upstate New York! No, not that there's anything wrong with upstate New York, but you know.
Megan Gill: Right. Totally. But it's that way that certain educators are approaching the conversation around not just different shapes of able-bodied humans, but not to mention that disabled humans are in the mix too.
Scarlett Dyer: Uh-huh, and I love what you talk about body image in all shapes and sizes and everything. That so goes hand-in-hand with this. It really does because I feel like sometimes they just don't see it.
Megan Gill: And it's about representation of all communities, like you were saying.
Scarlett Dyer: Yeah, and I don't want to come off like I'm only fighting for the disabled community.
Megan Gill: But you're also an advocate for that specific community.
Scarlett Dyer: I'm also an advocate for this community because I'm a part of it, but I'm an advocate for all communities who are underrepresented, and that is my goal as an artist is to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable and seen. So yeah, it goes all around.
Megan Gill: I think that's really special and really important, and we need more artists and creatives like you trying to really get representation in all of these different spaces.
Scarlett Dyer: Yes.
Megan Gill: Like in the media across the freaking board.
Scarlett Dyer: Across the board. I told you this before we started recording, but the way you see people and the way you represent body image is just so meaningful, and you post so many beautiful things that I'm just like, wow, that actually made my day. If I'm having a shitty day or whatever, like today. I was having a shitty day. I'm no longer having a shitty day. We’ve turned that day around, honey. But being here with you, you are so just magnetic and sweet and adoring and accepting, and you always make everyone feel comfortable, so thank you. We need more artists like you as well.
“ I don't even have words for what [Ben Mathes] has done for me. I was so unsure. I was like, “I want to be an actor, but I don't know if I'm accepted in this space.” And he was just like, “Shut the fuck up. You are.” He literally was just like, “No, here's your ramp. Get the fuck on the stage, and do it.” The support he has given and the community of Crash, it's just like no one has ever, ever been like, “Oh, well, I don't know if I can do this scene with Scarlett because this character isn't a wheelchair user.” No, it's never been like that. It's never been like that.”
