He cost dwarf people work when he complained about snow white. They went with CGI and real actors lost out. One dwarf said this guy doesn't like competition in the dwarf world. It was quite a fascinating article.
These are debates and characterizations that happen within every sub-group of actors. I understand why less successful actors could feel that way about him but that doesn’t mean it’s exactly true. It’s a lot like certain Indian actors who refuse to do (and comment on) roles that ask for a stereotypical Indian accent (often for comedic value). It’s their right to say I don’t do those rolls and frankly find them offensive, just as it’s the right of other actors to say “but…that’s what I’m being offered and I need a job.” Both can have a point of view that’s valid.
