The First Little Person In A Major Commercial As A Person “This Means There’s Hope” - Alexia Vassos I'm Kind Of A Big Deal

However, Alexia (fittingly pronounced Ah-Lex-Uh) Vassos broke this streak by being featured in an Amazon holiday shopping commercial in the Fall of 2020 - and she played a human person. Alexia talks about what the commercial means to her and how she is striving to appropriately represent the dwarfism community.
