Lightsabers and Lollipops

is there still a demand for midget actors in hollywood?
there just aren't many movies that call for a vast array of short characters such as: munchkins, ewoks or even pint sized robots.
and the guy who played mini-me seemed to be hogging all the short guy roles for awhile.
i bet the midget actors union hated him.
heck, even the vertically challenged actors in lord of the rings had their faces digitally replaced!
sigh. poor little guys...
