Verne Troyer played Mini-Me and it wasn’t an easy role physically. He took quite a beating on-set because he mostly did his own stunts. While you might think that there weren’t too many stunts needed, he had to be kicked into different objects quite a bit.
Taking these beatings is nothing new for Troyer though. It’s interesting to note that he broke into the movie business by being a stunt baby. That’s a real job, and Vern nailed it. Sadly, Vern passed away in April of 2018.
