Just saw a recent pic of Mark Hamill sporting his Jedi beard. He looks like Pat Hingle (the commissioner for the '89 Batman). At this point I can only be pleasantly surprised by this movie. I don't think it could possibly come in below my expectations.

Pat never had a beard. He wore that comissioner stache since his days as a b-movie western extra.

I wasn't even talking about the stache. He has the same cheap bourbon and two pack a day eyes.

To be fair, how many roles does Hollywood create for little people? Of those roles, how many are Peter Dinklage offered first?

There are a lot of regular sized people who wouldn't be very well known if not for their work in franchises. I'm not sure why you're singling him out.

Plus, his TV show had one of the greatest moments in comedy history:

I can only watch a couple of minutes of that. Same for The Office.
