dude you didn't answer his question at all. You didn't even reference to it, he was asking if the true person in the real life story was actually a midget like Peter Dinklage, or did they cast Dinklage simply on a great performance (in the audition)
the truth is we can't all be stars, but I'll be god damned if I'll settle for bronze.

I understood that Drinklage was cast personally by Lumet based upon his talent, not a likeness to the real Ben Klandis but then I've never seen a picture of Klandis.
