Verne Troyer

There’s times when you’re having dinner with a good friend and you’re in the middle of a conversation and somebody comes up and cuts you off. Can you sign this? Can I take a picture with you? I’m adjusting to all the attention.

I’ll be one of the Who’s of Whoville.

What I really enjoy the most is seeing what the crowd likes. I enjoy making people laugh.

If I did everything, I probably wouldn’t be here talking to you. There aren’t too many people who can actually double me, so I do most of my stunts though.

Now I get to pick and choose exactly what I want to do.

I was just the perfect person to play the Mini-Me character.

There’s nobody else that can double me – except for a doll.

I felt probably more uncomfortable than Beyonce. But I can’t answer for her.

I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class, I had like 92 people.

In the film, I’m not very mobile, like in the space suit.

In high school and college all my friends and my brother wrestled.

Doing stunt work is risky, but it’s something I enjoy.

I went to see the film with a regular audience for the first time on Sunday, and was basically swamped.

I think it was a good challenge for me to get my reactions across without being able to speak.

I just take it one day at a time. Austin Powers has given me a lot of opportunities as far as my career.

People have a good time with all the catch phrases.

I’ve done approximately 15 films, and most of the things I’ve done have either been stunt or costume work.

We were doing the dance routine and I dislocated my knee. I’ve been doing stunts for a long time and it’s kind of weird that I’d dislocate my knee just dancing.

I’m a big sports fan. College football is my favorite.

Me being able to beat up Austin Powers? I mean, how great can that be?

In Men in Black, it was a very small character, no pun intended.
