is used we spend a wicked old witch
Agnes is dead thank heavens for small
blessings welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 most influential little
people hey they called him you
I hear Lee hates that nickname for this
list we’ve tried to choose actors
diagnosed with dwarfism who are active
advocates for little people’s issues and
have ranked them based on their
influence and impact while actors like
Gary Coleman Emmanuel Lewis and Michael
J Anderson weren’t diminutive enough to
be classified as little people they did
not have dwarfism and omalu’s number 10
Kenny Baker he may not have the same
recognition as others on this list but
he’s got legions of fans across the
galaxy whether they know it or not I’m
suddenly distinct from guild leaders
well you like the new Star Wars fakers
the man who brought the beloved beeping
r2d2 to life throughout the entire Star
Wars saga even though we never saw his
face
Baker infused his character with a
unique personality and made a place for
himself in cinema history don’t you call
me a mindless philosopher you overweight
glob of grease number nine Herve
Villechaize
bill Shay’s his role as tattoo on
Fantasy Island
made sure he was beloved by millions so
much so that the show barely lasted a
year after he was fired due to a
contract dispute
unlike most little people he demanded to
be called a midget biotic bitch and this
put him at odds with other little people
celebrities I get along with everyone I
mean I really do however he was still a
beloved part of pop culture until his
1993 suicide number eight
Zelda Rubinstein you’re gonna give me
whiplash looking at that dear
her voice was one in a million
very thorough through her role as the
unusual medium in the poltergeist
franchise Rubinstein helped raise the
profile of little people in Hollywood
young man hanging back you’re jamming
that frequency while it’s unclear
whether she actually had dwarfism few
were as active as Rubinstein as an
activist for little people’s issues and
she was also an early aids activist as
Steven Spielberg once said of her good
things come in small packages
number 7 Danny Woodburn
just keep out of my business your big a
probably most famous is Kramer’s
volatile actor buddy Mickey Abbott on
Seinfeld Whitburn has long been known as
a talented character actor stand-up
comedian and advocate for little
people’s issues fighting for integrity
in all his projects Woodburn has pushed
against stereotyping and the use of the
slanderous M word can’t you just switch
with another midget it’s Little People
you got that Woodburn now picks and
chooses the parts he plays so he’s able
to ensure his characters are
well-rounded and thoughtful let’s
consider all our options I got no way to
avoid number 6
David Rappaport he made it his life’s
mission to change public perception
about little people and he succeeded by
becoming one of the most accomplished
and famous four factors ever what is
she’s at choice now with roles in Time
Bandits TV’s The Wizard and even Star
Trek The Next Generation however after
his suicide that role was recast with an
actor of average height proving
Rappaport had been hired for his talent
and not his size I always recommend
number 5 Verne Troyer as one of the
world’s shortest men Troyer began his
career as a stunt man
from there he became one of the most
seen stealing little people in recent
memory unlike some of his little people
actor contemporaries try are often plays
into the stereotypes of his condition as
long as it’s in good fun today she’s
tying it though he struggled through
scandal and addiction he remains one of
the most prevalent little people
celebrities you brought my glasses
yes you little heart that’s not right
number four
Matthew Roloff if awareness is the first
step to acceptance then roll up and his
family have been vital to society’s
opinion of little people the point of
marriage is you trying to merge your
life together you know so the fact that
any and I had such territorial eyes
there’s so much space and so much room
in so many ways you know yet we’re
fighting over little inches you know
it’s ridiculous on top of being
motivational speakers and hugely
successful entrepreneurs the charismatic
Roloff family and their show little
people big world
introduce the everyday concerns of
people of smaller stature to a wider
audience and succeeded in becoming one
of a few functional families on reality
TV so that that’s really where we’re at
people and everybody to help with this
thing
number three Warwick Davis as part of
some of the most popular film franchises

support to that population oh wow and he
always keeps his sense of humor what do
you think I’ve got this ring for I don’t
know you’re a hobbit just go back

Mick Detroiter but usually works in
cartoons we do it my number two Peter
Dinklage
let’s do this refusing to play elves or
leprechauns he’s an angry elf Dinklage
spent years toiling to make ends meet so
Stewart what is it like living the
drawbridge
Kenneth that hard work paid off when he
broke with the station agent a
critically acclaimed film about his life
not his sighs Here I am
take a look
possessing leading man qualities
Dinklage brought awareness to the issues

person or not never forget what you are
the rest of the world would not wear it
like armor and it can never be used to
