Gimli, then Thorin, then Doc:^))

Alberich, the Niebelung
Not that I'm a fan. I just want to add him to the list.

Tattoo?

Dan

Tyrion, for the win!

The only one I have a Tshirt of is Grumpy so he wins.

Hermi should be on the list though.

Dr. Robert "Mongo the Magnificent" Frederickson. (See the works of George C. Chesbro.)

Does Miles Vorkosigan make the height standard?

After that I'll have to scrounge. Poul Anderson has one in Three Hearts and Three Lions at least worth nominating, not to mention the ones in Hawk the Slayer and The Warlord. And who was the attorney on LA Law? (And was he the same as the one on Ally McBeal?) If we're going to do this, we ought to to it right!

Tyrion
Gimli
Kili
Fili
Thorin

isn't Dr Cornelius from Planet of the Apes?

Ahem, as I was saying:
Hugi (Three Hearts and Three Lions)
Baldin (Hawk the Slayer)
Oren Koolie (Ally McBeal)
Hamilton "Mighty Mouse" Schuyler from LA Law

I'll go with Miles Vorkosigan definatly a hunchback dwarf.

Here's a couple from D&D novel series:

Flint Fireforge (Dragonlance)
Bruenor Battlehammer (Icewind Dale)

Miguelito Loveless.

Bradley Laise. Numerous appearances on The Craig Ferguson show and movies. He played the uncredited Dwarf on Charmed!

Grombrindal

"I am Grombrindal, the reckoner, the grudge keeper. My watch is eternal"

The Master, Thunderdome 1985.

Oh, good one, Dan! How could I have forgotten Dr. Loveless and his plan to equalize the stature of mankind? Of course, today it would have to be personkind, but still…

And Volc from The Warlord. "I will make a slave of him, so he will make a lord of me." So much of human history in one sentence!

Dr. Loveless is there so MiniMe needs a nod.

Bridget the Midget.

White

as in The White Dwarf. Citadel did a nice figure as a D&D style character.

Michael Dunn was great as the incomparable and evil Don Miguelito Quixote Loveless.

Dan

My favorite "Dwarf" are my Squats …

Thanks for the images of Michael Dunn! Reminds me to add Alexander, from the Star Trek episode Plato's Stepchildren. Regardless of what you think of the episode, the character of Alexander was excellent, and masterfully portrayed by Dunn. (One aspect often overlooked is how well he carried off the impression of being "controlled" by his mental overlords. His movement and action completely and instantly conveyed that idea. The final "mental duel" between Kirk and Parnem is almost entirely based on the movements and actions of Alexander. Dunn makes the viewer believe he is under the conflicting control of two wills other than his own. Yet it's simply the actor using his own gestures, expression, and body movements to create that illusion. No wonder Dunn was nominated for an Oscar and a Tony in other roles. Like Peter Dinklage, his talent was far more than just being unusual in appearance.)

Barundin, King of Zhufbar
Gotrek Gurnisson
Thorin Oakenshield

I like Dwarf Carrots!
