Actors Argue to Keep Dwarfs in Snow White
There were other actors with dwarfism, however, who didn’t sign on to Dinklage’s lament.
Dylan Postl told DailyMail.com in response that he was “sick to [his] stomach” because there may have been “seven roles for dwarfs that can’t get normal acting roles, or very few and far between roles, and now they are gone because of this guy.” He added, “I know me and six other little people who would love this role. Disney, call me. This would be a dream role for me. I am begging for one.”
Actor Jeff Brooks felt Disney had “been too quick” to respond, telling the Mail, “I am hoping they cast little people and give them work.”
Ultimately, actors of varying heights got voice work: The Seven Dwarfs in 2025’s Snow White are all CGI characters.
And when a leaked photo from the set of seven actors—some men, some women—caused another uproar among those who assumed Disney had left Dopey, et al., out of the remake, Disney promptly released a photo of Zegler in character standing with the CGI septet.
