"Peter Dinklage has opened up about the little-known movie Tiptoes.  Tiptoes centres on a man named Steve who comes from a family of dwarves. When his girlfriend Carol becomes pregnant, he worries that she will give birth to a dwarf as well.   In addition to Dinklage, the film stars Matthew McConaughey as Steve, Kate Beckinsale as Carol and Gary Oldman as Steve&amp;#039;s dwarf brother Rolfe. The film was poorly received and was particularly criticized for casting Oldman as a dwarf.  &amp;quot;It was sort of an amazing idea for a movie, but the result [of the new cut] was what we were fighting against - the cutesiness of little people,&amp;quot; Dinklage told The New York Times.  He went on to say that a number of people expressed concerns about the film.  &amp;quot;There was some flak,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;&amp;#039;Why would you put Gary Oldman on his knees? That&amp;#039;s almost like blackface.&amp;#039;  &amp;quot;And I have my own opinions about political correctness, but I was just like, &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s Gary Oldman. He can do whatever he wants, and I&amp;#039;m so happy to be here&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  Dinklage can next be seen on the second season of Game of Thrones, which debuts on April 1 on HBO in the US and on April 2 on Sky Atlantic in the UK.  &amp;gt; Game of Thrones Peter Dinklage: &amp;#039;There&amp;#039;s big battles in season two&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Game of Thrones breaks HBO DVD record Watch the trailer for Tiptoes below:       "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
