Troy Kotsur (b. 1968) is an American actor who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in CODA. He was the second deaf actor to win an Academy Award, after Marlee Matlin.
Kotsur appeared in a 2022 Word of the Day web video with Rosita, Count von Count, and Kotsur's interpreter, Zavier Sabio. Discussing the word "diversity," Kotsur teaches the Muppets about American Sign Language (ASL) and how to sign the word.
Touring with the National Theatre of the Deaf for two years, Kotsur moved to Los Angeles and worked with Deaf West Theatre as an actor, playing leading and principal parts including the title role in Cyrano and Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. When Deaf West's ASL revival of Big River moved to Broadway, Kotsur reprised his roles of Pap and the Duke. On the TV series Sue Thomas: F. B. Eye (about a lip reader), he served as ASL consultant and recurred as informant Troy, while guest appearances include The Mandalorian, CSI: NY, and Scrubs.
