Coming this fall to HBO:
Peter Dinklage is TALL ACTOR.
Following Kirstie Alley's cable series "Fat Actress" in which the former Cheers star whined incessantly about being too overweight to get any acting jobs in Hollywood -- after which she promptly lost all that excess weight -- the star of "The Station Agent" and "Threshhold" plays a little actor named Peter who suddenly grows to seven feet tall. Dinklage will perform his role on stilts in every scene.
"Now that I'm freakishly tall, I don't get cast for any of the parts I used to get! My career is over!" the character complains.
In a move which HBO executives have hailed as an innovative way to cut production costs, "Tall Actor" has been cancelled before going into production, and no episodes will actually be filmed.
