On the one hand, I agree with Dinklage - typecasting little people sucks. They are legitimate actors that deserve to have roles that aren’t just about their appearance.
On the other hand - Dinklage has made it big. He has paid his dues and sacrificed and now doesn’t have to worry whether he can pay next month’s rent, but most little people actors (or even actors in general) don’t have that luxury. By bullying Disney to change the cast, he cost 7 other actors a job that, considering it’s Disney, might have been a big break.
