You have left out several important things. Are you looking for union actors or can you use non-union? Are you shooting in California? Is this a paying gig? Will you provide transportation?

I have a friend, Wayne, that I have used before in a production. He is a dwarf, but a little taller than some. He lives in Kentucky. I would be happy to e-mail you a still from the movie, if your budget allows.

I thought posting it as a reply would give you a chance to let everyone know more about your project needs.

Thanks,

Bob C

Hi, I am considering doing a project, but I need to know if it is FEASIBLE to consider little people, it is not clear to me if there are many little people actors at ALL to choose from. So in this case the cart comes before the horse. How many are even AVAILABLE? They seem to be extremely rare as actors.

Superhero story available for film production !
===
Compliments of the day to you, my name is Eddie Macaulay, a young man of 26years.I am a maverick screenwriter who passionately loves writing superhero stories,entertainment stories ... for film production.
I am new in this field even though this is what im gifted with.I love to learn the rudiments for writing a script for film production.
I started writing my first superhero story three years ago and completed the story early this year.The story is unique and will be a block-buster which is about a black superhero who came from the descendant's of 'KUNTA KINTA'.The story is about a young black boy from Africa who be the one to fight evil in Africa.I spiced up the story by blending Africa and Western cultures which makes it thrilling and unique,besides the production of this film will be the first time a superhero film will come out of Africa.
Even though the story has not been screenplay i believe the production of the film will have an immense effect as this will be the first time a black superhero will come out of Africa.
In the past, there were not many black's represented in most of the superhero films all over the world. Today, however, with success of series like X-MEN- which includes 'Storm' a heroine of African descent - the diversity of superheroes has translated into higher sales for film producing companies like 'MARVEL,DC,IMAGE...'Also, the recently produced film 'HANCOCK' starring the great actor 'Will Smith' who plays the black superhero and the main character of the film.
Nowadays, black character has some sort of stereotypical spin, which is one of the reasons I started writing didactic superhero stories. I enjoy seeing people from the black color in the mainstream of superhero films and my primary objective is to solve topical issues affecting the world through entertainment films.
The major reason why im contacting you is to kindly enquire if you are a film Producer,Director,Promoter,Investor or know people in such field...so as to kindly request for your assistant to work with me to produce this film.
Thanks you and God bless us all.I hope to hear from you soonest.
Yours faithfully,
Eddie Macaulay
