        I don’t think it’s the reason here, but he’s not very liked by other actors with dwarfism/short persons. He’s basically worked hard for and succeeded in getting a monopoly in Hollywood for short person roles that is anything other than playing fantasy/sci-fi roles in full suits. I’ve seen interviews from several other actors with dwarfism who all strongly dislike him and this whole thing.

        And please tell me if any words I used here are not ok, my understanding right now without having the time at this very moment to look up and learn all the generally accepted terminology for short people and if there’s a better gender neutral word for actors/actresses, are the words I used. Last I checked, which was a few years ago, the words I chose were not bad, at least.

          Actor is technically already gender neutral. Actress is kind of 20th century gibberish. Just fyi.

            Which is why I used the word actor for the main comment and only used the word actress in the last part.
