Verne Jay Troyer (January 1, 1969 – April 21, 2018) was an American actor, comedian, and stunt performer best known for playing Mini-Me in the Austin Powers film series. He was notable for having been only {{convert|2|ft|8|in|cm|abbr=on}} tall, the result of cartilage–hair hypoplasia;[1][2] this made him one of the shortest men in the world.

Early life

Troyer was born in Sturgis, Michigan, the son of Susan, a factory worker, and Reuben Troyer, a repair technician.[3] He had two siblings, Davon and Deborah. He stated that his parents "never treated me any different than my other average-sized siblings. I used to have to carry wood, feed the cows and pigs and farm animals".[4] Troyer was initially raised Amish, but his parents left the faith when he was a child.[5] During his childhood, Troyer spent much time visiting Amish relatives[6] in Centreville, Michigan. He graduated from Centreville High School in 1987, and a plaque was dedicated to him in 2003.[7]

Career

Troyer's film career began when a former president of Little People of America contacted him, looking for someone of a "certain size" to serve as a stunt double for the infant character "Baby Bink" in John Hughes' film Baby's Day Out (1994).[8] He gained further work as a stunt double with some minor comedic roles in several films of the 1990s, including Dunston Checks In, Jingle All the Way (both 1996), Men in Black (1997),[9] and My Giant (1998).[10]

Troyer first met with Jay Roach to discuss portraying Mini-Me in the Austin Powers series,[11] directed by Roach and starring co-creator Mike Myers, before filming for the series' second film began. Myers was impressed with Troyer's performance, rewriting the script for The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) to give Mini-Me more screen time and remove the character's death.[12] Troyer reprised the role three years later in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), and collaborated again with Myers on The Love Guru (2008).[9]

After reaching a large audience as Mini-Me, Troyer portrayed the goblin Griphook in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001),[13][14] and played the role of Percy in Terry Gilliam's fantasy film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009).[15] He also made several appearances as himself in reality television series, including The Surreal Life (2005), Welcome to Sweden (2007),[9] and the sixth series of the British Celebrity Big Brother (2009).[16]

Personal life

On June 25, 2008, a private home video was leaked of Troyer and his former live-in girlfriend, Ranae Shrider, having sex. The video, filmed in 2008 in Beverly Hills, California, and Shrider's hometown of Fort Cobb, Oklahoma,[17] was leaked to the public by Shrider and TMZ.[18] Kevin Blatt, the man responsible for brokering the deal for Paris Hilton's sex tape in 2003, tried to sell the video. Troyer, through his long-time attorney, Ed McPherson, sued TMZ, Blatt, and online rental company SugarDVD, for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement.[19]

In May 2015, Troyer, his girlfriend Brittney Powell, and her son Tyson appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap, where she switched places with Hines Ward's wife.[20]

In early April 2018, Troyer was admitted to a hospital after an incident in his home.[21][22] He had previously been admitted to rehab to undergo treatment for alcoholism.[22][23]

Death

On April 21, 2018, Troyer died at the age of 49. No cause was immediately released.[24][25][26] His death was reported as a possible suicide to the coroner, who found very high alcohol levels in his body, suggesting and later confirming alcohol poisoning as the cause.[27][28] His death was later ruled a suicide.[29] He was cremated and his ashes were inurned in a niche at Colon United Methodist Church Colombariam in Colon, St. Joseph County, Michigan.{{cn|date=February 2019}}
