I am Verne Troyer, AMA!!!

Who would you want to play Mega-You in a movie?

Hulk Hogan

Little known fact about Verne Troyer?

Grew up amish.

Did you do your own stunts on Austin Powers?

Nobody else can do my stunts except for a doll. I'm only 2 foot 8 dude!

Verne! Thanks for doing this. Was wondering, when filming Austin Powers, how difficult was it to not talk at all? Did you slip up often?

It was difficult because Mike improves constantly and so you have to just react, but I liked the challenge of not being able to say anything but still having to get my point across. Ruined many scenes because we couldn't keep a straight face. The scene with the cat where I'm trying to bite it, I was smirking the whole time

What's the weirdest role you have been offered?

A tv series where I was inside abraham lincoln's hat, and I would come out and kill people.

Who was your role model growing up

My parents. They never treated me any different than my other average sized siblings. I used to have to carry wood, feed the cows and pigs and farm animals.

What percentage of women would you say do not wear panties?

Well I'm the only one who can see!

Hey Verne, first of all lots of respect man!

Secondly, a question. Were you ever teased/bullied with your length as a child ?

If so, how did it affect you ?

I punched a bully in the nose one day for calling me the m word. He never used it again

Verne, you must answer this: A battle to the death between you and Ajay Kumar for the rights to shortest film star and a lifetime supply of Mountain Dew. Not who wins, but how do you win?

Thanks for all the laughs in everything we've gotten to see you perform in.

I would start off by shaking his hand. Being friendly, chit chat, then slap him in the face.

Next a swift knee to the groin.

Then I'd take out his legs with a leg sweep.

I'd finish him off with a People's Elbow. Then I'd stand over him and gloat that he shouldn't F with someone who is 2 inches taller than him.

get some.

If you could work with any actor that you have not worked yet who would it be

Clint Eastwood. I'd love to do a Western

Hey Verne! What's one thing about yourself that people don't know about you that you wish they did?

Hi Verne, thanks a lot for doing this AMA, two questions about your role in Harry Potter; 1) Could you tell how successful the the films and the child actors would go on to become? 2) What was it like on set being next to the Hagrid robot/actor?

I honestly had no idea! the sets were amazing! He was so tall! I was the only american on the first film, and JK Rowling was known to say she only hired British Actors.

I really loved doing the documentary because it shows average sized people that we can do everything they can, just in a different way.

Hey, Verne.

I did a lot of stand up comedy in LA before I became a writer, and I unfortunately was subjected to being in the presence of Ranae Shrider more than a few times. For some reason she thought she had a chance in stand up, or acting, or whatever the fuck she wanted to do.

All I want to say is, brother man, I'm sorry you had to go through all of that crap, I really am. I know what it's like to have trust betrayed by a succubus she demon from the lowest depths of Hell. Do you know Lillith? My ex girlfriend. Our relationship was the foundation for Ron and Tammy Swanson.

No question, just hope that all is well and that you are having fun living life. Thanks for making me laugh when I was finishing High school. Few things did, but you were one of them. Best wishes and one love, brotha!

thank you bro!

Verne, would you ever do a horror movie?

Btw do you have a favourite horror movie?

Legend! its coming out soon!

Greetings from a sleeping England, Verne!

What is your favourite colour? Mine is orange...

black.

Hey Verne, seen alot of your stuff throughout the years, but i've got to admit, my favorite has to be on Celebrity Juice.
