Hollywood actor Verne Troyer, best known for the role of Mini Me in the Austin Powers<\/em> franchise, has passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Standing just over two feet high, Verne Troyer’s diminutive stature made him unique within the Hollywood film industry. Early career roles include being a stunt double in John Hughes’ 1994 film Baby’s Day Out<\/em>, and in comedic ventures Dunston Checks In<\/em> and Jingle All The Way<\/em>. Typically cast in “freak” roles for his size, Troyer played supporting roles in Volcano, Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas, Mighty Joe Young<\/em> (as Baby Joe) and Instinct<\/em> (again, as a baby ape), before landing the role of Mini Me in the Mike Meyers comedy sequel Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me<\/em>. The role would come to define his career, and he reprised the part in Austin Powers In Goldmember<\/em> a few years later.<\/p>\n

Troyer is Mini-Me, a clone to Mike Myers’ Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers film: Austin Powers in Goldmember.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Troyer would co-star alongside Meyers again in The Love Guru<\/em>, and would have a minor role in Terry Gilliam’s fantasy feature The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus.<\/em><\/p>\n
