cos they are all ***** little thieves and drunkards and fighters and gingers and MASSIVE chips on their shoulders.

I take great offence to this statement :mad:

If there was a massive chip on our collective shoulders then surely we would have eaten it by now

Here is the answer:

Almost everything he was in he used a Scottish accent, though he was raised in the US. Perhaps it was the part of Pennsylvania he was raised. He has been in just about every film that required a dwarf, so possibly the idea is based on him.
