austin baby bear biggest definitely gorilla played powers role
I've played a baby panda bear to a gorilla to an alien, but Austin Powers 2 is definitely my biggest role ever. Hopefully, it's not my last!
adapt grew tall
I don't know what it's like to be tall. I grew up like this. You just adapt to every situation. It's a tall world out there, but I'm used to it.
across challenge definitely point silent speaking
It's definitely a challenge not speaking and getting your point across to the audience. It's like back in the day when we had silent films.
offend people
It's a movie. It's entertainment. If other little people feel like they're being offended, it doesn't offend me, so just take it as it is.
became factory great hard suck
I was working at a candy-wrapping factory before I became an actor. I admit I snuck some hard candy, which is great because you can suck on it while you're working.

L.A. is so fake - girls there are so superficial.
cast everybody great mike party work
Just being able to work with Mike Myers and everybody in the whole cast was a great experience. It was like a big party all the time.
ask industry legend music work
Being able to work with Madonna... she's a legend in the music industry and she's so beautiful, so I couldn't ask for anything else.

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

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

I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class I had like 92 people
talking people double-me
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.
costumes done film
I've done approximately 15 films, and most of the things I've done have either been stunt or costume work.
average trying roles
I stay away from the elf roles; I stay away from playing a leprechaun. All the roles I try to do are something that an average actor would do.
