Verne Troyer would have towered over little person actor Peter Risch at a reported 2’2” ish. He played in Ghoulies as Grizzel. He died at 40. He would have been max chest high to Warwick Davies. Guinness book never included him as the shortest actor ever.

The interesting thinkmg is, very short people mostly claiming their true height than normal or tall people,because they feel blessed and proud for the god's gift,respect!

One of the reasons dwarfs kill themselves is that they often suffer from severe joint pain. I think, though, that being extremely short would be something they would used to all their lives, so I can't see someone actually suffering emotionally from being that short. It would probably be worse to be a normal man who was very short (say five foot two, like Mickey Rooney or Paul Simon), because people might be inclined to be mean to you in a way that very few would be to a dwarf.
On the other hand, you might feel terribly vulnerable. Twelve year-olds can beat you up.
Dwarfs also seem to be normally sexed. Troyer had a girlfriend. If you are a dwarf who is successful in show business, you know that your girlfriend wouldn't have moved in with you if you'd been a librarian or an electrician. There would be a certain depressing leaven of charity in her affections for you, and that might be a strain.

Sookie is measuring back to back with Verne in the other world, she can there stand with the tail and in two feet, she is taller than him of course.
In two foot is taller than the shortest men ever easily.

Editor Rob 5ft - 5ft 1 would only include another couple of people I suppose. 5ft 2 would add 12 more...
5ft 2 and under certainly won't make more than say 2 pages for 'shortest men' category.

Editor Rob it was on the list to do and I decided 5ft and under is best for the shortest men tag.
Blake said on 10/Sep/17
I guess it is subjective as for tallest men the shortest is 6 ft 11 but for women 5 ft 11 range women are the shortest when a 5 inch difference is common between men and women. However I understand that others factors come in to play. Maybe start the shortest category for men at 4 ft 11?

Rob, why don't you add a tag for the shortest men and women? You have a tag for the tallest men and women or is it considered negative to you

No way is he only 2'8, because onscreen he can easily give a 2'9 impression. That's why I say 2'9 min. for Verne.
OK, I'm kidding, but seriously, I heard he was one of the shortest men in the world.
In the movie The Love Guru, I found it funny how 5'8ish Mike Myers was so nasty to Verne's character about his height.

They said he was 2ft on entertainment news. He's is in BB in the UK. He's favourite to win. Good luck to him.He hasn't let is lack of height stand in the way of his success.

Sorry to hear that Glenn, but at least you have a positive attitude.
And it's also true that you can't go by parents. In somewhat of an alternative situation to Verne, Nick Cassavetes is 6'6, but his parents were 5'7 and 5'6. Verne looks to be 2'8, though when you're that short, does precision really matter?

Come on, Glenn! You know you'd take being a 5'8" inch, decent looking guy over being a 2-foot tall dwarf anyday! Seriously, anytime I start feeling bad for myself cause I'm short, I think about people in other situations, like Verne, etc. and I'm happy to be just over 5'6", decent looking, in good shape, etc. There's a lot worse!

I'm confused about who ever came up with 6'2 for his former wife height. Because i check her official website and it listed Genevieve Gallen as 5'6 not 6'2 as previously reported by someone or some reporters when they first got married.

Doesn't he hold the record for the shortest actor? I think I read that somewhere. Not sure if it meant the shortest of all time or the shortest currently living.
