    Peter Dinklage, possibly the most famous dwarf actor at the moment.

    I was with some friends on Broadway and 13th, right outside the movie theater, and I saw him! I looked extra close to make sure it was him as I passed, and he glanced over at me and gave me the most scornful look ever. I mean, if looks could kill.

    So he's a tripod?

    I thought that was just a myth about midgets.

    you know, you're probably right. I do believe Dinklage has had more media buzz in recent years though.

    Manhattan NY.

    I didn't just glance at him, I definitely looked long enough to verify that it was him. I wasn't surprised if he seemed pissed, because dwarves don't like being stared at, and celebrities generally don't like being stared at, so I can understand if my gawking rubbed him the wrong way.

    and you guys are horrible. you shouldn't make fun of midgets, except the ones who try to fight a wild lion en masse.

    Well, on my computer, the image that was posted was blocked because it's property of Tripod.

    So, yeah, I made a dick joke.

    Yeah, that guy was an asshole in Elf.

    I'm not surprised he gave you a dirty look.

    It was blocked for me too, but I'll take advantage of any opportunity to call you a queer.

    Fair enough.

    But what kind of queer smokes Pall Malls down to the filter and swigs Heaven Hill from the bottle?

    A manly one. That's what.

    Peter Dinklage has quite a resume which includes a BA from Bennington College in Vermont, to studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and the Welsh School of Music and Drama in Wales [​IMG]



    But for all of his hard work and determination the most he can hope in this world of prejudice is to play the role of a loveable little dwarf in a children’s movie, or an evil troll, or leprechaun in a horror flick [​IMG]

    what do you think came first. his dwarfism or his dwarf name? because with a name like that, it seems he was doomed to dwarfism.
