type casting
The inherent problem with being a little person is that no matter how good of an actor you are you will only be type-casted into a role because of your size. Even in something like “The Baxter” when considering Dinklage the main thought was “dude is a little person that will make it funny or funnier” This is also a problem for African American actors, in that very rarely do you see an African American playing a truly colorless role.
