Golden Globes: In his acceptance speech, actor Peter Dinklage, who won Best Supporting Actor for Game of Thrones, referenced a man named Martin Henderson, asking the audience and viewers at home to Google him.
Henderson made headlines this week for being the victim of an assault that has left him partially paralyzed.
The 37-year-old dwarf actor, who is best remember for his role as a Goblin in two of the Harry Potter films, was standing outside the White Horse pub in Wincanton, Somerset, when he was suddenly picked up by an unknown assailant and thrown across the pavement.
Henderson believes the man who attacked him may have been inspired by English rugby player Mike Tindall, who is said to have been a spectator at a “dwarf tossing contest” in a New Zealand bar last year.
“It all happened so quickly – I think he was with a group of mates and they thought it would be a laugh,” Henderson said. “I guess I was an easy target and the only reason I was picked on was because I am small.”
He suffered multiple injuries, and has been told by doctors he may be permanently bound to a wheelchair.
The attacker, meanwhile, remains on the loose. He is described by police as 5’8” with a slim build and dark. He was last seen wearing a hooded top and baseball cap.
In addition to justice, Henderson hopes to receive an apology from Tindall and the rest of Team England. “The whole [England] team should be made to apologise for what they have done,” he said. “I think until someone steps out and says ‘this is not acceptable’, all dwarfs are under threat.”

It’s one thing to criticize Mitt Romney for being a businessman with the wrong values. It’s quite another to accuse him and his former company, Bain Capital, of doing bad things. If what Bain Capital did under Romney was bad for society, the burden shifts to Romney’s critics to propose laws that…

For his 1948 feature “Country Doctor” — republished here, in its entirety, for the first time online, with all of the photos and — LIFE magazine photographer W. Eugene Smith spent 23 days in Kremmling, Colorado, shadowing general practitioner Ernest Ceriani. His powerful, intimate images capture in poignant detail the emotional and physical challenges faced by this modest, hard-working rural physician — and gradually reveal the inner workings and the outer trappings of what is clearly a uniquely rewarding life. When first published, “Country Doctor” was an instant classic, setting Smith firmly on a path as a master of the unique art form of the photoessay, and solidifying his status as one of the most passionate and influential photojournalists of the 20th century. Above: Dr. Ceriani makes a house call on foot.
WHY ARE WE OUTSIDE? I’M SERIOUS. I HAVE THE WORST HANGOVER EVER. IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. I CAN’T EVEN TELL IF MY EYES ARE OPEN RIGHT NOW AND I’M PRETTY SURE THEY ARE.
WE’RE OUTSIDE BECAUSE THE APARTMENT SMELLS LIKE A TRAIN STATION. I HONESTLY CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE STILL ALIVE. I KNEW YOU WERE IN TROUBLE WHEN YOU STARTED CRYING AND TALKING ABOUT YOUR BREAKUP DURING YOUR FIONA APPLE KARAOKE, AND THAT WAS AT TEN O’CLOCK. HOW DID YOU LAST UNTIL TWO?
RED BULL AND VODKA. THE LAST THING I REMEMBER IS ORDERING RED BULL AND VODKA.
SO YOU PROBABLY DON’T REMEMBER PEEING IN THE HALLWAY.
… NOPE.
AND THEN PEEING ON MY COUCH TWO HOURS LATER.
SERIOUSLY?
YOUR HEART AND YOUR BLADDER WERE WIDE OPEN LAST NIGHT.
