This may come off as insensitive, so I'll say off the top that I deal with disability issues every day, but I hope that, whatever he does, his character isn't some version of "Parkinsons Guy".

Obviously it will be addressed and included, but I hope it's a well rounded character, not a cause.

As funny as the Curb clip was, a show that's just a running string of Parkinsons jokes will get old fast.
