Actor Dylan Mark Postl says Peter Dinklage cost a lot of people in his community jobs when he criticized the initial casting of little people in the live-action Snow White movie, causing Disney to use CGI characters instead

Isn’t he the guy who replaced Warwick Davis after shit talking the previous movies in the worst leprechaun movie like that actor label doing some heavy lifting.

Wasn’t Dinklage’s whole point that they only cast dwarf actors in stereotypical dwarf roles and not in any other capacity?

Not just paid, but they’ll get in front of an audience. They’ll get to start building a relationship with an audience. Favorites could emerge, and new opportunities from there. It felt at the time like Dinklage’s comments made no sense to me, like burning a bridge once he crossed it.

There *should* be size-blind casting and more roles for available for little people, but at this point in entertainment, generally little people only get roles that specify size. You aren’t going to make casting more size inclusive by taking away the few parts that are available for little people.

Criticized roles for people of short stature only after he did enough of them to be considered for other stuff, definition of ladder pulling.
