Dinklage is the man. I found it pretty cool that his role in X-men as Bolivar Trask was (if I remember right) absent of any mention of achondroplasia - I don't even think there were any height references of any kind. He was just another character.

Yes! That's what I was trying to remember. You're correct - his height was never mentioned in the whole thing.

From what I remember, he was cast based on his audition. They weren't looking for someone with dwarfism, so they didn't write the character as a dwarf, so they didn't cock it up with the usual stupidity.

Was too! When he went to the congress I think or somewhere they made a height joke I'm sure of it
