How did they find so many small people for 'The Lord of the Rings'?
Watching the 'Behind the scenes' portion of the DVDs you get to see the people who played the body doubles for the hobbits. Acting has always been an option for those with short stature. Their type of Dwarfism is called Proportionate Dwarfism; they are shorter without the inconsistent bone growth seen in other types of Dwarfism. I did not see statistics on the number of people with Dwarfism, of any type, but there has to be a large group because there are quite a few humans inhabiting the planet.
