Peter Dinklage & Anne Hathaway star in the indie romcom, “She Came To Me”

I've always loved Peter Dinklage...... until I listened to him on a couple of interviews. He's VERY serious about him, seems very self precious, touchy, talks about his "art", etc. My impression was that he's the white, shorter version of Phylicia Rashad. Then again, maybe he's actually a gas to be around and work with, who knows?

R1 minorities have to be very serious or others won’t take them seriously. They already have a disadvantage because of what they look like etc. him being a little person makes him a minority, one who has a limited selection of roles.

Yeah, well we have a VERY limited selection of roles now that Sir Dinklage has decided only HE can take dwarf roles. Thanks, dickhead!

R3 does make a point because I've heard Dinklage bitch about non-dwarves being cast as dwarves just because they're short or something. Sorry bitch, you don't get to use your physique as a crutch AND insist you're a highbrow thespian who should be cast in normal leading-man roles. Pick a lane!

R4 what is a normal leading man role? The role called for a little person. They cast a little person…

The role of the seven dwarves called for 7 little people, but he found it offensive, so he took one of the roles and had them re-cast the others. So he can use his stature for roles but no one else can? Also, hi Peter at R2 and R5!

R6 you sound retarded. As always. All he did was speak out and give his opinion, retard. He had no hand in the casting. Retard.

R5, he's on record bitching about not getting cast in non-dwarf roles. He has a point about wanting, and there needing to be roles where people like him are portrayed without their height being a part of the story. I get that. But he seems to insist he and other little people be cast as everything from Maverick in Top Gun to Jerry McGuire. That's just not going to happen, no more than they're going to cast an average looking middleaged white guy like me. Not all of us get the world we want to live in and we have to make-do with what we've got. And he's been very fortunate. He just wants more. And more. He's not an entirely pleasant person. Or maybe he just comes across that way in interviews.

Retard? Good one, you sound like a bitter midget.

R9 you’re a retard. You live off your mother.

R9, R6/R10 was speaking the truth, nothing "retard" about that. Sheesh. You're clearly a fan of the guy. So am I. Being a fan of someone and also discussing their less-than-flattering attributes isn't mutually exclusive you know, so calm down girl. It's not that serious.

And you children stop calling each other retard or daddy's gonna turn this van around!

He's gruff. This is from an inside source. He's gruff. As R2 wisely stated, if you are a minority (and I'd call Dinklage part of a Super Minority), you have to take yourself dead serious, or no one else will.

I mean, imagine growing up as a dwarf. Inside, you feel like every other guy. You feel cool. You're wicked smart, maybe you are obsessed with music (Dinklage was into the Pixies and Dinosaur Jr), and you have a raging libido - just like every other guy. You have a bevy of cool qualities, like being really deadly funny, creative, a dreamer, a bit anarchic, a romantic. And yet, externally, you are wearing a flesh suit that is half the size of every other guy. That renders you either invisible to the opposite sex, or an oddity. Or worst of all - "cute" like a toddler. Imagine how depressing that would be. I know from a source that Dinklage struggled with suicidal ideation in high school and college.

But this motherfucker doubled down and rallied. And he pursued his dreams. He got the career, he got the girl, he has children, friends, respect, money, fame, all of it.

However, the anger and bitterness and rage it took to get him here, well, that takes a toll. So he's got this edge to him, a bit of darkness, bitterness. And my sense -just a hunch - is that he feels, consciously or subconsciously - that tore down the wall with his blood sweat and tears. And some part of him resents the idea of a bunch of happy-go-lucky dwarf actors coming alone and getting roles handed to them on a silver woke platter. So he put out this garbage about how Snow White shouldn't cast dwarves.

He want's to be the only dwarf and he wants to erase the fact that he's a dwarf, and he wants to be seen just as an actor, a normal actor. And then close the door on hiring dwarfs in Hollywood to play little people roles. Basically abolish all little people roles.

He sounds nuts, even if it’s justified.

"Dinklage's comments picked up steam online, and Disney responded to his concerns in a statement reported by Variety and other outlets on Tuesday.

"To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community," a spokesperson said. "We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period."

And what'd they go with? Just one dwarf and six uggos.

Oh for fuck's sake, he's not Rosa Parks! EVERY aspiring actor has a grueling story to tell unless they're nepo or so beautiful AND talented that it can't be ignored. Being a dwarf hasn't stopped him from acting for decades now. I'm sure it wasn't easy but I'd hardly say he has a significant reason to have "anger and bitterness". Maybe he's just an asshole. And yeah, for bitching about the casting of little people and wanting it to stop while also making millions working as one, that makes him an especially big asshole in my book. He's a fine actor, but he's also an asshole. There, we've solved it.

Peter Dinklage: "STOP making movies exploiting dwarves!!!!! How DARE you write stories with dwarves!"

Also Peter Dinklage: "How DARE Disney make a Snow White film and cast non-dwarves!! They better cast dwarves as the 7 dwarves!!

Thank God none of the dwarves is Jewish.

How about his cock? Normal sized? Teeny tiny?

He needs to lay off the Grecian formula in his beard. Why can't he just spin some straw into gold?

Peter Dinklage should do a film in which he plays Jenna Ortega's husband. She's more height appropriate for him.

Has anyone watched it?

Shame to see Dinklage stealing all the dwarf roles from Cruise.
