Me, Myself and Irene and Bad Santa really made him known to the public eye. And even though his dwarfism was addressed in both movies, they never made any joking remarks about his stature.
Then he did Date Movie and Epic Movie, two roles that are basically nothing but little people jokes.
It seems like such a step backwards.
Anyone agree?

you gotta see it from his perspective he probably gets a good ammount of money for just doing minor roles in films because they specificly want him because he's recognizable from bad santa, friday, me myself & irene, and other movies so in other words, he's found a perfect nitch for himself. he makes big name money for playing the same minor rolls he's been playing for years, and this way he gets to spend more time at home with his family and horses.
it's a supply and demand issue, the filmmakers most of the time specificly want HIM, and he's capitalizing big time from it. chris tucker did the same thing just because of his voice. chris tucker became the highest paid actor and has only appeared in 11 films. -

I just thought that he would rather want to be known as a good character actor from good films that don't address his size then a lot of very bad humorless films that are nothing but jokes in his expense.
There's a word for that, selling out.
