    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.

      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

        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's a great actor, when this is all over Im hoping to see him in Blockbusters.

                    He should play Superman in the next reboot.
