Except LP groups are pissed because it’s jobs they could have had and can’t now. Peter Dinklage isn’t the king of dwarves.
He was lamenting the lack of roles LP get where being little isn’t the main part of the character. He wants main acting roles, not only playing the punchline or token little person or hobbit or whatever.
If anything Dinklage is a bit of a prick here for limiting roles that LP can play. He’s famous now and gets roles, what does he care? But for that struggling actor, this could have been a breakout role to get them more mainstream parts. Although it’s not really his fault the media and other outrage addicts twisted his words.
The last time they didn’t use dwarves and used regular actors with cgi it caused major controversy (Snow White and the huntsman).
Disney is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Use actual dwarves and people like Dinklage will rip them, don’t and the LP acting groups get angry, use pure CGI and everyone else complains because it looks terrible.
