Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} In his Oscar-nominated performance in “CODA,” Troy Kotsur has one spoken line, but it’s a good one. “I want those kids to not feel limited.” The Apple TV+ release “CODA,” Sian Heder’s best-picture nominee, has elevated the 53-year-old Kotsur to Hollywood’s biggest stages while making history for the deaf community. I feel like I can die happy, with a smile on my face.” The only one to ever go through something similar was Kotsur’s “CODA” co-star Marlee Matlin. He’s just got this amazing presence and he’s so funny.” Kotsur had long been used to seeing one-dimensional and victimized deaf characters, but “CODA” presented something he had rarely seen.
