5 Biggest Little Celebrities of All Our Time!

Yes, these are the true giants in the world of tiny. Though limited in stature these diminutive greats are not short on talent, and are colossal in our hearts. Here are the 5 greatest height-challenged celebrities of all time!

1) Verne Troyer

We loved the 2 ft 8 in actor as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies. Verne was by far the best thing in The Love Guru, but for me, I think one of his most memorable roles was on the Surreal Life when he got so drunk that he peed on camera in the corner of the celeb-filled house, “The bathroom’s right here da’Brat.”

2) Wee-Man

What would Jackass be without one of Johnny Knoxville’s most beloved sidekicks? Whether he’s skateboarding as an Oompa-Loompa or doing deep-knee bends with NBA star Shaquille O’Neal on his back, the 4 ft 0.5 Wee-Man rocks big time!

3) Peter Dinklage

The 4 ft. 5 in actor had his breakout role in the Station Agent. He also kicked Will Ferrell in the face in a scene-stealing moment in Elf. Dinklage’s take on his height: “You realize you just have to have a sense of humor. You just know that it’s not your problem. It’s theirs.”

4) Tony Cox

He was Billy Bob Thorton’s partner in crime in everyone’s favorite alcoholic holiday icon movie, Bad Santa. He also played an Ewok in Return of the Jedi. A little Tony Cox trivia: he currently plays basketball with the Hollywood Shorties.

5)Danny Woodburn - Best known for having played Mickey Abbott on the sitcom Seinfeld.  Woodburn has had recurring roles on Conan the Adventurer (as Otli, one of Conan’s sidekicks), Baywatch, Special Unit 2, Charmed, Bones`, and the soap opera Passions. He has also appeared in the films Jingle All the Way, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas and Death to Smoochy.  He was also featured in a series of ads for Burger King’s BK Stacker sandwiches. He appeared in the 2009 horror film Murder World alongside Scout Taylor-Compton, and in the 2009 film adaptation of Watchmen as the crime lord Big Figure.

Honorable Mention (came up just a bit  . . .uh . . .never mind)

Tie: The Munchkins in Wizard of Oz/Oompa-Loompas in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Both these classic movies was cinemas greatest collective of little people. The land off Oz would be nothing without the wise-but-tiny munchkins. And we knew how sorely we missed the Oompa-Loompas in green wigs and orange makeup when we saw the lame Johnny Depp remake with idiotic CGI Chocolate Factory inhabitants.
