what a bunch of total assholes. i don't know any dwarfs, rarely see them and have never even spoken to one! so i guess it makes sense they'd be treated as 'different', it's just, seeing someone being discriminated agaisnt wether the reporters are aware of what their doing or not is shocking. they treated him like he was a cool toy to be shown off. i hope i've never and will never act that way towards a dwarf if ever i met/meet one :(

@phoney98 I dont know if they necessarily treated him like you described, I think for the most part they're just really dumb and bad at their job. But youre right, a lot of people dont realize when they're treating someone different based on discrimination, its just instinct for them, like with Dinklage I've seen a lot of people touch him on the shoulder like almost supportively, not something they'd do to someone else of his "status", talent, intelligence, or just age for that matter.

ha, peter dinklage is so wonderfully pretentious. but to say these two reporters talked to him like a child...i think they talk like that to everyone, bubbly, annoying, and simple. it's not like peter dinklage is as famous as steve, not many are

[Cynlouaye]

@boxed119 I wouldn't say he's pretentious at all... I mean idiots have been gawking at him since he was born, so fame's probably not very different for him. I'd say he's pretty laid back and tends to give people the benefit of the doubt, and he's careful about being too offensive with his wording. These people though, you said it, they're quite noticably morons around everybody. People like Dinklage just seem to pick up on it quicker.

Idiot: "Your character......."

PD: "Get to it really quickly."

Idiot: "I think that's a fun time period for a man, that's a very manly time period."

PD: "It's a fantasy time period so it's sort of like... y'know... a non-time period."

Idiot: "..and he talked to you like a peer!"

PD: "Yeah, kinda'..." *look away* "Ooh it's shady here.."

Like a boss. =)

Why do I get the feeling these airheads are talking to Peter Dinklage like a child? "Hey Peter!Come on up here!" I mean for god's sake the man is a Shakespearian actor!

[Cynlouaye]

@ThanatorRider Hahaha yeah that's why I took a jab at them in the description... I noticed Pete just turned it around and started patronizing THEM lol... Awesome.

the whole interview seemed condescending, they talked to him like a child idk how peter managed to keep his cool, i think steve carell noticed this and bailed on the interview

"...He talked to you like a peer!"

Most patronizing interview line ever.
