Top 5 Little People in Hollywood

For no reason whatsoever here's my top 5 'little people' in Hollywood.
From this point forth I will be using the term 'LPA' in reference to 'Little People Actor' as i'm not totally sure what the PC term is.


Danny Woodburn
Danny is one of the most prolific LPAs in the business. He's done everything from Jingle All the Way to Beverley Hills 90210 to Watchmen. Not only that but he's the best sidekick to appear in Seinfeld, as Kramer's friend Mickey. This guy has comedy timing coming out of his ears!


















Deep Roy
Most of Deep's roles seem to put him under a mask but you'll probably recognise him as the Oompa Loopmas in the remake (aka the bad) Willy Wonka movie. That's not the only bad Tim Burton remake he's been in though as he played two child apes in Planet of the Apes. He has been in good films though, he plays Droopy McCool the Kitonak chidinkalu horn player in Return of the Jedi and was the snail rider in The Neverending Story (which is better than Labyrinth but that's another story for another time).

















Peter Dinklage
Dinklage is considered one of the best LPAs in the business. He's generally known for refusing roles which in any way look down on LPAs and its paid off; he's been nominated for the Independent Spirit and Screen Actors Guild awards for best actor for his role in The Station Agent and was genuinely terrifying as Miles Finch in Elf. Unfortunately he played a mime in the Bloodhound Gang video for The Bad Touch... he isn't a very good mime. Best stick to being a badass Pete.
















Billy Barty
The late Billy Barty started acting in 1933 when he was just nine years old. Unfortunately due to his stature at nine years old he played a baby. I imagine in this day and age LPAs are more inclined to turn down this kind of role as it is incredibly insulting but back then it was a different time and Billy was still a trend setter and an inspiration to all LPAs everywhere.
Billy appeared in Willow and true to form he was the elder statesman all the others looked up. He also appeared in Masters of the Universe and was creepy as hell in it.


















Warwick Davis
This guy has done it all. As recognisable as any 'normal' actor in Hollywood, Warwick is THE man. He owns a talent agency which specialises in work for actors under five foot or over seven foot to help them avoid niche roles. It does seem like he takes the best work for himself though as he plays three different characters in the Harry Potter films, has been in The Chronicles of Narnia, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Phantom Menace, and of course both Leprechaun in the Hood movies.
