It’d be like a studio needing to fill a role for a black character with a black actor, putting out a casting call for black actors, then a famous black actor coming out against it.
It’s stupid and only harms those that he’s trying to help.
It’s not like the studio was just going to hire the first 7 little people to show up, they were still gonna have to try to get the role.
I’m also confused, hasn’t he had plenty of roles that were typecast for little people? The two I know him most for are Game of Thrones (a character with dwarfism in the source material) and Elf (a character who’s entire written purpose seems to be “little person that Buddy mistakes for an elf”).
It’s such a stupid take on his part
