stop casting him as "the little guy"


he's fan-friggin-tastic! Just cast him in leading man roles, dernnit! Do his height always have to be a "character"?

They didn't type cast him in The Angriest Man In Brooklyn he's Robin Willams brother a lawyer.
He's so handsome. I had no idea he was born in the US I thought he was English.

In the few movies where he is a leading man,a big part of the plot has to do with his height. I think directors also want to cast him as ugly characters, like M.O.D.O.K. from Captain America. X-men Days of Future Past was the only movie that I saw that didn't mention his height or anything.

Kind of hard to do when he's only 2 feet tall. Maybe he can wear stilts or something?

Tell me you couldn't see him doing a great job as Tony Stark. Other than RDJ i can't imagine another actor that could put such a vreat spin on the portrayal. PD is captivating enough to take center stage productions.

Exactly this, his character in xmen was the only movie I've ever seen that didn't make him a dwarf, the movie pays no attention to it or ever mention it. He's a great actor, doesn't deserve the asterisk some people include to mention he's a great *dwarf* actor

That wouldn't work either, he'd still have his midget face. lol

in 13 episodes of Threshold they never once reference his height

His Iron Man suit would look ridiculous/cute instead of cool/intimidating, though.
