There just aren't that many hyperactive dwarfs who are actors.
Or, from another POV, too many actors are too short, so you lose the distinction.
Man, just ascend already.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I keep thinking one of the hobbits would do well as Miles, forgetting their perceived shortitude was from forced perspective shots. Both Dom Monaghan and Billy Boyd are apparently around 5'7", making them way too tall for Miles. I'm trying to remember if there is anyone around Danny Strong's height (5'2") who could fit, but coming up entirely blank.
I propose Peter Stormare as Bothari.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think using CGI/forced perspective would make Miles infinitely easier to cast.

I can't even.

Was just about to post that. A short actor + cheating = Miles.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I suppose in other contexts people like Seth Green, Michael J. Fox and Danny DiVito could be considered hyperactive dwarfs.
(OT comment on the height list: My sister went to high school with Little Jimmie Dickens' daughter. She's 6 feet tall.)

I knew exactly who needed to be Bothari, and it's gone. Peter Postelwaite, maybe?
Actually, I was just thinking about Liam Neeson. He looms very well, and he's got the profile and the chops to make Bothari both scary and sympathetic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So! I just happened to start Brothers in Arms, and there is lots of relevant information to current conversation. It's the one with Earth, and they describe London as 'nearly two millennia' old, so what does that make the time-frame, o people who know how old London is now? Also, Ivan is described as in great shape (looks great in clothes), with affable, even features and wavy dark hair. So now I want him to be Jude Law.

Clearly I need to read these books. Any advice on what order in which they should be read.

I was just about to ask the same thing myself.
