stop casting him as "the little guy"

I dunno Zelda Rubinstein was shorter than Dinklage and she had quite a successful career. Her biggest role was probably Tangina, the medium in "Poltergeist", and that had no focus on her height that I recall. She was on "Picket Fences" for years, too. But Dinklage may well be the first male LP actor to transcend his height.
The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.

You realize he wouldn't have got the chance to play Tyrion , if he wasn't a "little guy"?
Hopefully this does lead to more roles that aren't simply due to his height. The guy is just a great actor.
Although one role I'd like to see him play , that relies on his stature is Miles Vorkosigan, he's a badass in Tyrion's class.

my point being he plays little people because (brace yourself) he IS a little person, and like others have said, he isn't as typecast as you think

He is a dwarf. You can't just pretend he isn't There is nothing wrong with being a dwarf obviously, but just like he can't play a 2 meter tall northerner, I couldn't play a dwarf

That's actually not true at all. In the lord of the rings, the four main hobbits were played by average size actors and Gimli the dwarf was played by a 6 ft actor. There are other movies but I think i've made my point.

I don't think his height was an issue with his character in Pixelsand he had the best line when he told the creator of Pac Man:
"I made your game my b****"
lol.

I know right? That's not PC at all! Why does Hollywood always have to cast white people to play white characters and short people to play midgets?!

He should play Superman in the next reboot.

I'm tellin ya, when i see that beard and think about his voice and acting skills the first thing I think of is that he'd d a fantastic nob playing a Klingon. Yes, I know it is "against type", but still I think hed9rock it out.
