Blame Dinklage. The last and only dwarf allowed to play a dwarf
There's no way he didn't do it on purpose. Selfish little bastard.
It was pretty small of him to pull up the step ladder after he achieved success.
Little gremlin salting the earth behind him. Honestly, guy has lost the plot and gotten rid of multiple jobs for people of his stature.
What did he do?
He complained about Snow White and pulled out some goofy "why do they have to be dwarves" statements. Now anything that casts small people has to take a hard stance about why it's 100% necessary and can't just be CG.
Oh yeah now I remember. Thanks.
Likely virtue signaled how dwarves were being exploited for their handicap or some shit. Scaring away potential Dwarven talent.
Pretty much, though instead of scaring away dwarven talent, he scared away Disney from hiring other dwarves.
He caused a ruckus about the live action Snow White, so Disney changed their plans from hiring seven dwarves to hiring the Multicultural Bandits of Peace and Tolerance.
I mean before him it was verne troyer getting all of those roles. Seinfeld did an episode about it that summed it up perfectly, where those kinds of actors either "grow" out of them or die out of them, and never get replaced otherwise.
Troyer was a different species of little person and only suitable for specific roles requiring the tiniest of men.
Ironically that guy from Seinfeld is the actor I've seen in the most little person roles outside of Dinklage.
Did Troyer ever have a serious role?
Serious no, but he did a surprising amount of movies. Once michael (has probably killed more people than the halloween villain) myers put the guy on a pedistal everyone wanted him in stuff especially here in canada. Prior to entering rehab he was supposed to be heavily featured in the trailer park boys.
