This dude is super funny. Whenever I see him come on the screen, I know I'm about to laugh.

I love him in ''Friday'' and ''Date Movie''

He was in Date Movie. His character was a satire of Will Smith's role in Hitch. Apart from the line "Do I look like Will Smith?", not too much was made of his size. Not a great movie, but he was good in the role.

This guy has had two of the funniest smaller roles I have ever saw in movies. His short role in My Myself and Irene was priceless (she'll be eating blubber as soon as I free Willy). And Bad Santa, well do I really need to say much about it. He has not been a gimick at all, but has really made some great movies much better than they could have been

There was an episode of CSI that involved a murder at a "litt5b4le person convention" in Las Vegas. Obviously a show like CSI doesn't rely on gimmicks like that. I don't remember if he's in that episode, but I do remember seeing one actor that looked kinda familiar.

Mickey! Played by Danny Woodburn. Yeah he was cool. Remember the episode where he went with Kramer on a double date wearing the same shirts and everything! That was a great episode! "I love Merlot!"

What about Kramer's friend in Seinfeld? Can't remember his name I guess it wasn't a movie, but it's still a good example, I think.

The Station Agent was good and no, Dinklage wasn't a gimmick.

Cool!

fine ill agree with you there. i never said that all people that have a short stautre are their for their size. its just that i hadnt seen many
A crisis is when you can't say: "let's forget the whole thing".

What about Bridget Powers(a.k.a. Bridget the Midget) in the movie SWAT with Sam Jackson? She just played a news reporter. I think we've got a winner!

i haven seen that film either. sorry
Verne Troyer played 'Mini Me' in Austin Powers, i guess that was only because of his size.

yeah it was most likely for his race. Has there ever been a short person who wasn't a gimmick in a film? I never saw that Peter Dinklage film
The Station Agent
was he a "gimmick" there? Was it good?

i was on about the
you people
thing. i think that he was a gimmich in that role. i think i understand what you are getting at.

Yeah but his size had nothing to do with anything. Every character in every movie that crosses the main characters path is cast to interact with the main character aren't they?
If you are talking about the "you people" line then that was a racial thing. Still I think he was no gimmick in this film and he was quite funny!

Tony was cast so that Carrey's
Charlie
could interact for Tonys charecter to get insulted

In Me Myself and Irene he wasn't a gimmick. He just happened to hook up with Carrey's wife.

i did like him in
Bad Santa
though

I don't know. I've only watched a few movies of his filmography, like
Me, Myself & Irene
,
Bird
,
Beetle Juice
and
Return of the Jedi
. And, to be honest, I only recall him from
Bad Santa
.

yea but he only got the role because of his stature. is there a role where he is not got the role 4 his size?

He has a big role in
Bad Santa
, which is, by the way, a very funny movie, although not appropriate for all tastes.
