Klebba has called “Game of Thrones” star Dinklage “one of the top 100 actors of all time.”Regarding little people who may have chosen not to audition for a voice role in “Snow White” over the CGI controversy, Klebba said, “They were welcome to audition for the voiceover.

If they decided not to, that’s their right.”“But I didn’t look at it like that,” he added. “I was like, look, if it’s going to be CG then they’re looking at me just as an actor and they’re just giving me the opportunity.
