THE STATION AGENT

Finbar McBride wants to be left alone. But at four feet, five inches, blending in with the crowd is an almost impossible task. Born with dwarfism, Fin has responded to unsolicited attention by choosing a life of separation and spends his time alone with his one passion–trains.

Director Tom McCarthy picked up an Oscar® this year for Spotlight, but it was this indie gem that brought the writer-director (and actor, great in The Wire) to our attention, winning the Audience Award and Special Jury Prize at Sundance. Just as special: it catapulted Peter Dinklage into stardom.
