He’s Just a Little Guy
My ode to great Midget….uh hum, I mean Little People movie characters.
Just remember, they are people too.
Hanz from Freaks:
As the circus owner who makes the mistake of marrying an “average size” woman, Hanz is slowly poisoned by his wife who wants to take control of the circus. Although Hanz, the child-man midget is a bad-ass, his crew is even crazier. They take revenge on the woman at the end…Freak-style.
Master Blaster from Mad-Max Thunderdrome:
Master is the brains, Blaster is the brawns. Together they are master blaster…..and Master Blaster runs Boarder Town…
Willow from Willow:
By far the coolest dwarf actor on the planet. Warrick Davis, known best for his role as the title character in Willow, also played the role of Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi.

All three are great representatives of this post. However, you can not have a post like this with out mentioning the movie Time Bandits. Midgets traveling through time to save the universe! It is a real movie… and Sean Connery is in it. Enjoy the trailer below:

Warrick Davis also plays Professor Flitwick from the Harry Potter series.
And let’s not forget everyone’s favorite Mini Master of Mayhem…Mini Me (aka Vern Troyer) from Austin Powers

Yeah great list but leaving Mini Me out really brings down the quality of the list. It’s kind of like makeing a list of the greatest first baseman of all time and leaving out Lou Gehrig.
that is only a small (pun intended) critique. Otherwise it is quite a nice list.

Easy….Easy….
This is a collaborative list. Mini Me has been added thanks to Mindbomb.
Any others?

Yeah and last time I checked I don’t think Gary Coleman and his wife ever consummated their marriage….

Dude….even creepier then the little Rajnikanth dude dancing is the guy with the ’stash laying on the bed/couch with a bunch of minors. You can’t trust dudes with ’stash’s.
