He does have dwarfism. But it’s hardly a sneer-worthy casting stretch to make him 13 for the purpose of making the character an intellectual prodigy. “Non-European in appearance”. A little Aggie-speak for his racism, I guess. Why he can’t just see people as people, and not boil with apoplexy whenever one of the lead roles isn’t taken up by a middle aged involuntarily celibate fascist and chauvinist male of Greek Cypriot descent who has no agency and contributes nothing to society or the plot (thus representing 99.99999999% of what Aggie wants to be the target viewership, of course) is beyond me. -- “Most of the Universe is knackered, babes.” - The Doctor
