    Is the character supposed to be a midget? I’m watching the show and it’s a bit jarring to see how short the character is. Would have been better to have casted someone taller and put the actor as a background character.

        Buy the character is like an NPC in the show. They should have just casted some normal size person.

          I think you are mixing up vault 33 for vault 108. People usually have different and distinct characteristics.

            It just takes me out of the story immersion when you see some sickly deranged looking midget. He’s supposed to be a good guy but he looks like a bad guy.

              Spoilers ahead…

              The character is the result of 200 years of inbreeding in a small and closed society of middle managers with limited food and resources living underneath a post global-nuclear-exchange induced irradiated apocalypse wasteland.

              Which may be part of the reason why he’s short and doesn’t look like Brad Pitt.

      The height is not a problem at all. I’d say it’s even better to have a shorter actor. We meet him as a little coward and then it grows (as a character) thru the events.

      Did you say “Frodo is too short to be the main character” too?

        The Lord of the rings movies would have been better if the hobbits were just regular humans like the rest of them.
