I mean, Disney put out a casting call several years ago for little people to fill the dwarf roles for a live action Snow White. But Peter Dinklage balked at it, claiming that it was oppressive to cast little people just because they’re little and not giving them serious acting roles based on skill or merit.
However, a lot of little people in Hollywood got mad at Peter Dinklage for ruining job opportunities for them, because they’re rarely cast for anything else and they had no problem taking the roles based solely on their height.
But it was too late; Disney pulled the casting to avoid controversy and now we’re stuck with this CGI abomination to replace little people in this film.
That’s awful. A lot of people do a lot of degrading work in life… you do what you gotta do. Besides, I would imagine getting your foot in the door in a big budget movie would do tons for the rest of their careers and could have helped with getting other roles easier. Pretty sure that’s how it works for everyone in the industry. Did Peter not do anything like this?
yeah its sorta redic of him. Its like saying they should not cast backup dancers because it oppressive to the lithe. They are decent jobs and not everyone can be a starring role.
Time to retire that term. Being “politically correct” in the US clearly means being a bigoted Christian white nationalist, judging by the most recent election.

Guess in reality, you first have to afford the bills before being able to afford virtue.

For awhile it was being remade as Snow White and the Seven Magical Creatures then images from the set came out and backlash led to this CGI trash
Peter Dinklage probably feared that other with his medical condition was able to find acting jobs and he would have to fight to find a gig then.
another win for political correctness, xisters
