How to Be an Empowered Dwarf in an Average-Sized World
Christophe Zajac-Denek is a successful podcaster, actor on shows like Twin Peaks, a drummer, stuntman and competitive surfer… and he happens to be a 4'4" dwarf. Listen as he shares with us in a beautiful, vulnerable show just what it's like to be a little person in an average-sized world.
In speaking, we learned:- The realities of living in an average height world when you are a 4'4" man
- The hard things about being a dwarf actor
- Where little people get their confidence
- Stories from his childhood
- Why he's a surfer (even though he's from Detroit)
- How he's gotten along with the Southern California 'boy's club' of surf culture
- How he treats incidents of hate or social isolation
- The community around dwarfism, and how he came to join it
- What his dwarfism has taught him
May you find this show as inspiring as we did!

MORE ABOUT CHRISTOPHEI'm an energetic and thoughtful individual who is genuinely curious by nature. I host and produce a podcast about people with dwarfism. The show is called I'm Kind of A Big Deal and creating it has given me the chance to connect with all types of different people, hone my recording chops, and creatively tell different people's stories. I come from a wide-ranging background ranging from touring musician, TV producer, actor/stuntman/entertainer, and project manager. Let's just say I've dipped my toes in several different ponds and they've all been fun and rewarding. Especially the time I landed a villainous role in David Lynch's Twin Peaks!
