DWARFS CUT DINKLAGE DOWN TO SIZE

Fury after he sank Disney acting jobs for little people

-

DWARF actor Peter Dinklage is short on friends in the Little People community after he strong-armed Disney into “rethinking” a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs remake — throwing pint-sized actors under the bus!

Disgruntle­d dwarfs are giving Dinklage a drubbing after the Game of Thrones star publicly spanked the studio for its “backward” plan to make a live-action version of the classic 1937 animated tale about a beautiful princess in a house full of shorties.

“Peter Dinklage is the biggest dwarf actor probably of all time but it doesn’t make him king dwarf,” grumbles Dylan Postl, 35, who has played Hornswoggl­e the leprechaun in WWE.

“It makes me so sick to my stomach to think that there are seven roles for dwarfs who can’t get normal acting roles, or very few and far between roles, and now they are gone because of this guy!” Hollywood sources say it’s “selfish” of Dinklage, 52, to squash these casting opportunit­ies when the Golden Globe winner pocketed $1.2 million per episode of GOT, where he played the drinking, whoring Tyrion Lannister.

The 4-foot-5 actor was born with dwarfism, which affects bone growth.

One disgusted dwarf says Dinklage is pulling the rug out from under all the short actors who would love to play Doc, Dopey, Sneezy, Grumpy and Snow White’s other miner pals!

“When Peter was cast for a little person role in Game of Thrones or in Elf, those checks cashed just fine,” huffed the source. “Now he wants to be progressiv­e? Come on, man!”
