Actor Verne Troyer Dead at 49

Actor Verne Troyer, who appeared as “Mini-Me” in Austin Powers “The Spy Who Shagged Me” and “Goldmember” is dead.

Three weeks prior, he had been diagnosed as “suicidal” and “depressed”.  Consequently, he was forcibly placed in a mental health care facility.  His last YouTube video was on his worst “pet-peeves”.  “I don’t like it when people pat me on the head.”

TSA searches Verne Troyer at airport security.

I recall a few years ago, the British newspaper known as the “Daily Mail” posted the above photo.   After all, nothing says terrorism more than a 2 foot, 8 inch dwarf.  What kind of insanity would cause them to do that?

In “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”, Verne was put in a cage and made monkey noises.  Is it any wonder he ended up like this?

Now he’s not around anymore to be tormented and laughed at, until there is somebody else.
