Verne J. Troyer, a.k.a. Mini-V, is best known for his role as "Mini-Me," Dr. Evil's smaller and more concentrated pure evil protégé, in the hit comedy Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Although the thirty-year-old, 32-inch-tall actor has just recently become recognized as a "Big Man in the business," Verne has been working in show business as an actor and stuntman for several years. Troyer, born on January 1, 1969, in Sturgis, Michigan, had always dreamed growing up of getting into showbiz. Shortly after his high school graduation in 1987, Verne moved with some friends to Arlington, Texas, where, in 1993, he got his first break into showbiz as a stunt double for a 9-month-old baby on a film called Baby's Day Out (1994). Over the next few years, Verne made several film and television appearances, often portraying animals or small children.

Did you see Mini Me was suing TMZ.com over a sex tape they had of him and his ex-girlfriend! YUCK!!! Excuse me while I throw up in my garbage can!
omg...i saw a "clip" of the sex tape on MSNBC...it was HORRIFYING! i think the image is permanently burned into my brain. i will never again be able to watch Austin Powers. it was so disturbing. and they kept showing it over and over and over.....
i'd like to sue TMZ for releasing it.
Leave it to you to give a shout out to a porn star :)
