The film's cast includes Troy Kotsur, Marlee Matlin, Daniel Durant, Eugenio Derbez, and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo in supporting roles. An adaptation of the French-Belgian film La Famille Bélier (2014), it stars Emilia Jones as the titular child of deaf adults (CODA) and the only hearing member of a deaf family, who attempts to help their struggling fishing business while pursuing her desire to be a singer.

You could say the same for the whole of CODA too. Adds Aquila, “His big thing was, ‘I need to make sure that this is not only authentic to this particular music teacher, but I need to make sure that I can do this in English in a way that is going to be as emotional as I want it.’ That was a big factor for him. With Derbez, it took two tries to get him to a yes. But whether it came down to casting an unknown and talented deaf actor or a high-profile international star, the mission-and challenge-of CODA remained the same. Rounding out the ensemble in two key supporting roles were actors on somewhat opposite ends of the profile spectrum: Daniel Durant, an actor making his feature film debut here and best known for a recurring role on Switched at Birth, as Ruby’s brother, Leo, and Eugenio Derbez, the Mexican actor and filmmaker behind the $100 million–grossing breakout Instructions Not Included, as Ruby’s singing teacher, Bernardo. “Usually, it’s 12 weeks or 16 weeks, but because of Patrick leaving Lionsgate and then taking the project with him, we got a second life.”

“There was an initial search for Ruby, a pause, another search for Ruby, a pause-it was this continual thing that, under normal circumstances, you’re just not allowed that luxury of time,” Zagoria says. The tricky role required a hearing teenager who could sign, sing, and believably live in the world of fishermen and harbor workers on the seaboards of Gloucester-a significant locale change driven by Heder, who grew up visiting the Massachusetts city. In a bit of serendipitous timing, the casting directors’ company was also in a transition between studios, allowing them to resume their search for CODA’s title character, Ruby, in particular. The film had been stalled in development, and when Wachsberger left Lionsgate in 2018, he took the project with him, reviving its chances of getting made. In any case, Matlin’s mandate was shared by others involved with CODA. We are not costumes to put on, not any longer.” (The casting directors demur on the subject when asked, with Zagoria conceding that this might have been a discussion “after the French film came out, maybe in that window when authenticity wasn’t at the paramount of everyone’s mind.”) “I can’t see any actor putting on the costume of being deaf.

“I put my foot down and said, ‘If you do, I’m just out, that’s it,” she told USA Today earlier this year. Matlin also became involved in development, and has described in interviews pushing back against what she calls a studio-led effort to have a famous hearing actor play her character’s husband, Frank. The Oscar winner ( Children of a Lesser God), one of the best-known deaf actors in the world, eagerly signed on to play the role of matriarch Jackie after meeting with Heder, who’d been tapped by Wachsberger to direct.

“Our hearts’ desire was Marlee, of course, to anchor the film,” says Aquila. Building the ensemble began with one clear goal: Marlee Matlin.
