Cameron Clapp Appears in 'Stop-Loss'

Over the past few years, trilateral amputee Cameron Clapp has appeared on the television comedy "My Name Is Earl," and the Emmy award-winning HBO original series "Carnivale." Now, Clapp makes his big screen debut in the wartime drama Stop-Loss, according to Hanger Orthopedic Group.

From Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly Pierce, Stop-Loss follows a decorated Iraq war hero (played by Ryan Phillippe) through his celebrated homecoming, his adjustment into civilian life, and his unexpected call back to duty in Iraq by the Army. In the film, Clapp plays a young United States veteran who lost his legs and an arm in the war. In Clapp's scene, he is shooting pool and having a conversation with actress Abbie Cornish. He has a few lines and all of his prosthetic limbs are in full view. There is even a close up of him using his body-powered upper-extremity prosthesis to line up and make a shot.

Clapp has been featured in numerous national and international news programs and publications, including "The TODAY Show," "CBS Early Show," The New York Times, The San Luis Obispo Times, the "Tyra Banks Show," Discovery Channel's "Medical Incredible" and "Science of Star Wars," and a Swedish documentary called 45 Minutes.
