Hugh Grant in Wonka, and 4 Other Actors Who Shouldn’t Have Played Little People

George admitted to the BBC that it was James Nesbitt’s casting as Bofur in The Hobbit trilogy that got him thinking about how there are relatively few parts for actors with dwarfism. In truth, none of the actors who appear as dwarves in any of the films have the condition. These include Richard Armitage, Ken Stott, William Kircher, James Nesbitt, Stephen Hunter, Mark Hadlow, Graham McTavish, Dean O’Gorman, Peter Hambleton, Aidan Turner, Jed Brophy, John Callen, and Adam Brown.
