Verne Troyer earned his claim to fame as “Mini Me” in Austin Powers film franchise.  Verne actually began his acting career in 1993 as a stunt double for a 9 month old baby in John Hughes’ Baby’s Day Out.

Since then he has appeared in numerous films including Men in Black, Instinct, Bubble Boy, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and last summer’s The Love Guru.  This year will find Verne starring alongside Christopher Plummer, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, out on Christmas Day.

Currently, Verne is writing his autobiography for release in early 2010 and developing a late night comedy talk show with Leigh Francis for the UK.
