15 Dwarf Actors with Giant Careers in Hollywood
15. Verne Troyer (1969–)
At just 2ft 8in, Verne Troyer is not only the shortest actor on our list, but also one of the shortest men in the world! He may have starred in more than 30 movies and appeared in several TV shows, but Troyer is most famous for his role as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies.
Verne’s acting work slowed down after the 2002 Austin Powers sequel Goldmember, but he hit the headlines again in 2008 – albeit for all the wrong reasons: he was at the center of a sex-tape scandal.
Troyer returned to the big screen in Terry Gilliam’s 2009 movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. And following popular appearances in UK TV series Celebrity Juice, he also appeared in 2012’s Keith Lemon: The Film.
