Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tom McCarthy wrote Fin specifically for Peter Dinklage after seeing him in a play; no other actor was ever considered.
This film essentially launched Dinklage's film career and proved audiences would embrace a lead with dwarfism in a non-fantasy, fully human role.
