WOW, raf-33! Fantastic Asimov quote!

He should play Superman in the next reboot.

He's a great actor, when this is all over Im hoping to see him in Blockbusters.
e god don' le wen oral play w er oy.

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?!

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.

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.

Sing along with Mister Ed: A dwarf is a dwarf, of courf, of courflolz

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

Exactly! i thought he would have made a better Mountain than Hapthor.

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

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.

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.

He may be the first "little person" (I say that because I understand that's the acceptable term) to become accepted as an actor, and not just as "a little person actor". It obviously has a great deal to do with his fantastic performance as Tyrion, which marked something of a first in that he had one of the leading roles and his stature has never been played for laughs.
Probably thanks to his work as Tyrion, when watching him in X-Men: Days of Future Past, I found that I wasn't paying attention to his stature at all. More just marveling at his badassery. Respect.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I'd love to see him play a T-1000 when James Cameron gets his rights back.

While still a lot of movies deals with his height.
seems like his role in the upcoming pixel could have been given to any guy of normal height..
seems like he was just picked as an actor.

He could be a leading man. I know many women who think so.

Yeah he should start lifting weights, bulk up, and get cast in an action film. He could be the next Rambo or Terminator.

Actually he's 4'5", rather tall for a dwarf, and a major-league hottie. He doesn't have "dwarfish" features either. Anyway, you're sounding like a troll saying lame things about stilts. His brilliantly-played lead role in The Station Agent was an ordinary guy who just happened to be a dwarf. I thought he was funny in Pixels, but wish there were more roles where his size wasn't such a significant factor (or where producers/directors had the guts to not see it as a factor).

If you bothered to read his biography you would see that the only thing that is not normal about him are his arms and legs. He does not have a midget face. He's actually quite handsome.

Kind of hard to do when he's only 2 feet tall. Maybe he can wear stilts or something?
That wouldn't work either, he'd still have his midget face. lol

His Iron Man suit would look ridiculous/cute instead of cool/intimidating, though.

Tell me you couldn't see him doing a great job as Tony Stark. Other than RDJ i can't imagine another actor that could put such a vreat spin on the portrayal. PD is captivating enough to take center stage productions.
