Peter Dinklage
Peter Dinklage will win an Oscar some day, and the best part about it is it will probably be for a role that didn't necessarily have to go to a midget. Let me bring you up to speed: The Dink broke through in 2003's "The Station Agent", a good movie pushed to greatness by his quiet, unshowy performance. Seriously, he was good in it. Since then he has been in everything, including an awesome 7 eppy run on "Nip/Tuck". Typically eschewing the usual dwarf-elf-gnome casting calls that haunt his tiny brethren (with the very large exception of being a major player in the whole Narnia universe. I figure he just needed the money), The Dink has earned a spot in Hollywood that few people his size ever get to see. A great actor that can play any role, regardless of the character's height. - RH

Tony Cox
All that I know about people is that they like 3 things. They like little people, they like black people and they like swearing. It's a small wonder then that, like a prayer answered, Tony Cox was dropped into our collective laps. Disgustingly clever pun aside, Tony Cox plays a serious bad ass in everything I have seen him in. He's rude, he's loud as fuck and he's shorter than...a short thing. He's small I tells ya! Small but mighty. - JRN

Warwick Davis
Here is a brief selections from Mr. Davis' seriously illustrious career: "Harry Potter" franchise "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" "Ray" The "Leprechaun" franchise "Willow" "Star Wars - Return of the Jedi" He also played an uncredited ewok in the Star Tours ride at Disneyland so yeah, he's pretty fucking amazing. I think his work speaks for itself but in case it doesn't, he is fucking amazing. And Chuck once shook his Jimmy Dean sausage fingers. - JRN

The Lollipop Guild
These little fuckers practically define the word spunk. With their sweet choreographed kicks and their pleasant(in actuality, really creepy), high-pitched singing they generously offered a giant sucker to Dorothy. Plus, you know under their friendly sheen, they are the ultimate enforcers of Munchkinland, destroying any minion of the Wicked Witch with a vengeance. They're like a little dog that thinks its tough, but you could pick it up and snuggle the shit out of it, much to their annoyance. - MG

Kenny Baker
Kenny Baker played R2-D2 which automatically makes him the greatest midget of all time. Sure, all he did was drive around the world's smallest Hover Round and turn R2's head, but Baker's six turns as R2 represent the six greatest performances by a midget actor ever. And holy shit, I think I just realized I actually mean that. I mean seriously, rack your brain. Can you think of another performance by a midget more touching, entertaining or lovable than Baker as R2? So, the obvious question is, can you really attribute R2's undeniable charm to Baker, or was he simply a rat in a wheel so to speak? Well, I can't answer that question for you, but I can tell you that Baker has to sit inside that thing for hours on end in the middle of the African Desert and the Arctic Circle. Oh, and sometimes they'd break for lunch and forget he was still in there. True story. - BV

Kevin Connolly
Ah Kev Con. He's one midget that reached for the stars and actually managed to stretch his spine a little. As Eric Murphy on Entourage (better known as “E”, which stands for “Eeeee...I'm pretty sure that's a midget”) Connolly proves that even a little person can find great success so long as they are sycophantic towards a big Hollywood star. E goes to great lengths to successfully mask his height. He's fit, wears elevator shoes, and has this season even started dating a troll so as to appear less freakish. Way to go E, and way to go Kevin!- BV

Little Foot
Now I'm sure you're thinking Little Foot doesn't count as a little person... and that makes you a a racist (speciest?). He is an adventurous Apatosaurus with a unfathomable zest for life, and welcomes creatures of all kinds as his friend. THrough his many adventures he has shown he is a capable leader with a cunning intelligence belied by his playful nature. He has triumphed over the tragedy of losing his mother, continually motivating his friends throughout their tribulations. He truly is a little person to be admired... unlike all of those creepy midgets on this list. - MG

Billy Curtis
Billy Curtis is on this list because anytime I can find a reason to talk about "The Terror of Tiny Town", I jump on it. "Tiny Town" is, of course, the first last only musical western featuring an all-little people cast. And the hero of the film, appropriately named The Hero, is played by one Billy Curtis. Also, the movie is public domain, which means you can release your very own version of it! Anyway, I understand that you are no longer reading this, having thrown your computer against the wall and raced to your closest video store to find a copy of this film, so I'll just end it right here. - RH

Jordan Prentice
I haven't seen Jordan Prentice in that many movies yet, but I think he's a great up and comer, and here's why; he's a mildly serious midget. See, guys like Peter Dinklage are serious midgets. You won't see them in anything with midget in the title and they usually play attorneys and doctors and shit. Then there's guys like Wee Man who ONLY do flippant fare. Wee man is a wacky midget. But Jordan rides the fence, putting in hilarious yet more serious turns in movies like In Bruges but also throwing his hat into the wacky ring in films like Midgets Vs. Mascots. And this brings up an important point. As an actor, you've got to milk all of that midgety goodness. You demand to be given dignified roles that could go to any heighted person, and you also shame your brethren by dressing up as a baby with an over sized lolly. It really is the best of both worlds, and I think that Jordan is the only one that really gets it. - BV
