Ack! I’ve been rejected for a role in the new Johnny Depp movie before I was even able to try out. I don’t understand how Hollywood can continue to harbor such a backward and discriminatory industry. It’s a little known issue, but in the entertainment industry there is a glass ceiling – a low-hanging glass ceiling that forces tall people to stand all hunched-over and awkward-like.
Thanks, Johnny Depp, for making me an outcast in my own town. Before you know it,pubs and movie theaters will be hanging those big yellow “low clearence” bars across their doors – preventing people like me from enterin. I don’t like where this is going. Not one bit.
It’s time that those of us on the fringes of height rally together – tall and short alike. And remember the words of one of the pioneers in the size-equity movement: “Size matters not!”
