The deaf activist, model and actor -- and the first deaf winner of America's Next Top Model and Dancing with the Stars -- is teaming with producer Daniel Dae Kim on a potential comedy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the untitled show will be based "on his experiences as a charismatic, street smart deaf man in modern times. Potential episodes will offer funny, character-based storytelling designed to provide a deeper perspective on the experiences of the deaf and hard of hearing communities in America."
