Little people as actual characters (seen)
Because they are real people and are still mostly treated like circus freaks. Some of them are damn good actors too, and I wish they'd get more recognition.

- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister is the most obvious at the moment, for good reason. About damn time you get to see a little person in a relationship and so on, when it's not just a joke.
- DirectorTom McCarthyStarsPeter DinklagePatricia ClarksonBobby CannavaleWhen his only friend dies, a man born with dwarfism moves to rural New Jersey to live a life of solitude, only to meet a chatty hot dog vendor and a woman dealing with her own personal loss.First thing I saw Peter Dinklage in. I'm glad the rest of the world discovered him later on.
- DirectorGeorge More O'FerrallStarsDiane CilentoGeorge BakerJimmy KaroubiA sideshow owner and his main attraction, a midget, fall for the same woman.Depressing!
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartIan McKellenHugh JackmanThe X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.This is a sci-fi/fantasy, but Peter Dinklage was just playing a corrupt politician, so totally realistic.
- DirectorTaylor HackfordStarsJamie FoxxRegina KingKerry WashingtonThe story of the life and career of the legendary rhythm and blues musician Ray Charles, from his humble beginnings in the South, where he went blind at age seven, to his meteoric rise to stardom during the 1950s and 1960s.I haven't seen this, because I choose not to, since it depicts real people basically as monsters they were not in reality. However, Warwick Davis played the role of Oberon, "a fictional character, based on two 'short' M.C.s working in Jazz Clubs during the period." According to Warwick's website. So it was a realistic role. I've watched his main scene on YouTube and caught a part on TV, where I'm pretty sure I saw him dancing in the background. I'm a big fan (but he won't be showing up very much on this list, being mainly a comedy & fantasy actor & I totally get people being unhappy about his depictions of little people).
- DirectorTusi TamaseseStarsFa'afiaula SanoteTausili PushparajSalamasina MataiaSaili, a little person and taro farmer, has his life turned upside-down when he is denied his father's chiefly status and his family plantation is threatened.So good!
- DirectorTod BrowningStarsWallace FordLeila HyamsOlga BaclanovaA circus' beautiful trapeze artist Cleopatra agrees to marry Hans the leader of side-show performers, but Hans' deformed friends discover that she is only marrying him for his inheritance. So they seek revenge.An early favourite from my childhood.
- DirectorTadeusz LysiakStarsAnna DzieduszyckaDorota PomykalaSzymon Piotr WarszawskiA woman with limited hopes toils in a rundown motel in rural Poland, as a maid. Will the repeated visits of an interesting man, a truck driver, change the loneliness of her situation?This had me depressed for days.
- DirectorAlbert BandStarsDamon MartinRoyal DanoPhil FondacaroThe Ghoulies wreak havoc at an amusement park, disposing of those who mistake them for mere fairground attractions.
- DirectorJohn Carl BuechlerStarsMichael MoriartyShelley HackNoah HathawayA wicked troll king in search of a mystical ring that will transform him to human form invades a San Francisco apartment complex where a powerful witch lives.I love the character Malcom.
- DirectorFrank OzStarsMatthew MacfadyenPeter DinklageEwen BremnerChaos ensues when a man tries to expose a dark secret regarding a recently deceased patriarch of a dysfunctional British family.
