Do you know what specific types of Dwarfism they have?

Peter Dinklage has Achondroplasia. While Verne Troyer has a much rarer condition known as Cartilage–hair hypoplasia. I'm just basing this off wikipedia, but /u/vernetroyer is also a pretty active redditor, if he wanted to chime in.

/u/vernetroyer won me over with his shark costume, and quickly found himself one of the few celebs I actually care to pay attention to. Yes, active redditor and a good contributor to the site.

Meredith Eaton, who people are also familiar with, has pseudoachondroplasia.

Friend met her while on a trip to LA and came back telling us how nice and friendly she was. Beautiful woman as well. :)

I enjoyed her in Boston Legal, very funny

Meredith Eaton

It's funny, because on an episode of House she was on, her daughter had "fake dwarfism" and Meredith had Achondroplasia. It's interesting.

It's odd, I'd never considered it but now you put it like that it's incredibly obvious.

Same here.

I just looked them up for comparison and now I am aware that Peter Dinklage is much taller than Verne Troyer, in comparison.

I also realize the differences now.

Not to mention that when it comes to women, Verne Troyer has mad game.

u/tmpick Jul 14 '15

Yeah, I'm sure Peter Dinklage wouldn't be hurting for female companionship.

Perfect response and example for the average Joe to grasp the concept.

Peter - Dwarf.

Verne - Halfling.

Dinklages accent is weird in the context of psuedo-English accents but is very consistent. I could see it believably being a mild speech impediment on the characters' part.

Yeah Peter is like a Fantasy dwarf fat and small but Verne is more like a gnome or something because hes smaller.
