Little Person Wins A Golden Globe!

     Peter Dinklage, an actor born with Achondroplasia, won a golden globe last night. Eddie and I were watching the Golden Globes and were so excited when Peter Dinklage won for Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series, Mini Series or Movie. He is in the HBO series "Game of Thrones". He also won the Emmy for the same show. Here is a picture of him and his wife (who is average height). They just had a baby girl who he mentioned in his acceptance speech. He is such a role model for Little People. This shows that LP can achieve ANYTHING!!!!!!!!

He also mentioned a man by the name of Martin Henderson and told the viewers to "Google" him. Eddie and I did Google him and discovered that Martin Henderson is a 37 year old Little Person who is also an actor. He was in the Harry Potter movies. Martin Henderson was in a bar in England when he was picked up and tossed hard to the ground. He was injured very badly. People did this to him because he was a LP. They targeted him because of "Dwarf Tossing".  I started this blog to help other families and to advocate for dwarfism. Please keep Martin Henderson in your prayers!

Here are more pics of Peter Dinklage at the Golden Globes! Peter was born in New Jersey to average height parents. He has been in many movies and was finally recognized for his work in Game of Thrones!
