The Sad Truth About MINI ME, Verne Troyer’s Untold End 

When Vern was doing mail time in his RU-vid channel, I sent him a sword with his name engraved on it along with a poster. His signed the poster and sent it back to me. He was a cool dude for sure. Wish he was still around

Jordan, many thanks for producing this memorial vlog. Always sad when someone, who brought so much happiness to others, fails to find happiness in their own life.

I'm disabled having had a stroke at the age of nine so while not all my dreams came true like acting I was able to get many autographs from famous people and I had recently got Verne address and was about to write him but he took his life shortly after.

I did subscribe to his RU-vid, and at one episode it showed all his fan mail he would receive. He would personally respond to every single 1, and sign/return anything he was sent as long as the sender included a return posted package. What a great celebrity, very very sad indeed.😢

I am kinda happy no one left things about anything he played in movies and stuff. He deserves to be remembered for himself, not some fictional character.

Thank you, Jordan, for this video. I'm sure Verne could have lived a long and happy life had alcoholism not gotten him. I have seen the ruin alcoholism brings to the lives of the alcoholics and their loved ones.

A few of the little people actors have ended up ending their lifes. They always get a raw deal with acting. Thank you for the coverage again Jordan 😊

May he R.I.P. I really liked him in the Austin Power films. Very funny.

Just visited Verne a couple months ago. Thought that portrait of him on the headstone is so sweet. Leonidas was such a quiet town! Loved it lol

Very good video. Verne has a beautiful headstone. May he rest in peace. I love the scene of him disappearing into the cape. I will have to watch that movie.

Thanks for doing this video Jordan, and showing the normal life Verne had before entering the acting world. He was the best part of the Austin Powers movies, they wouldn't have been the same without mini-me! Verne's sad ending reminds me of Herve Villechaize, who also died by suicide at about the same age. We can't know the pain those two went through because of their physical challenges. RIP Verne

Met him in Jersey and he was not a nice guy, he seemed very bitter. He spent alot of time at the bar in the Hotel but did eventually give me a photo. I've learned alot in this video and have a better understanding of why he acted that way. Great video as always Jordan

Always great stream. Thank You for Verne Troyer's life story.

Thanks Jordan! He, later in life suffered like Andre. His condition made him self medicate, to numb the pain and depression.

Thanks again for sharing Jordan and Jah

Hope y’all had a good 4th. Those fireworks were awesome 👏. Nice video of Verne RIP.

Jordan thank you for sharing this video with us

Im happy that he's living a better life now buried with his family is the right thing to do . 😢 I used to watch his videos on RU-vid some years ago. Thanks for bringing this up to light, we will never forget him he was a great actor. Thanks Jordan. 🙏

Thank you for this video Jordan. Best wishes from the UK.

Thanks for this video, its kinda sad because i was and still am subscribed to hes youtube, i really liked this guy quite alot, he was funny and was a great actor. Its really sad that he has passed away, when i got the news about it i was low for several weeks before i could let it go..

His death is shocking ..I had no idea that's how he died. Mental health is a Demon so many of us suffer from . So very sad...he was a cool dude who had to fight his own demons ...rest in peace Sir. Thanks for the laughs

Poor Verne. Makes me very sad how he passed away. I still subscribe to his RU-vid channel and there’s some cool videos on there. Time to rewatch them and remember little Mini Me. Rest in peace. 😞❤️

GREAT, Jordan! Interesting story...thanks for bringing this to RU-vid! Those Amish don't screw around! He should have been in some Lord of the Rings movies!!!! Excellent roporting as usual! Bless his heart, I wouldn't have been real happy either....walk a mile in my shoes!!!!!

Another awesome one Jordan! Thanks.❤️❤️🐾🎈

Loved this ❤ I worked with Verne on the set of Moby's music video. He was very sweet natured and quiet. One of the extras was squealing in horror out loud at the sight of him (and in front of him) and I felt terrible for him. He must have encountered that a lot. I'm glad he was able to live a happy life within the entertainment industry. RIP.

So sad to hear about his early passing. Fascinating guy & really did so much in his short life. Self made man for sure. Thank you Jordan for sharing his story.

I met vern in 1997 at the filming of "My giant". I was 15. He was such a great dude

Thanks for sharing Vern’s story with us. I hadn’t ever heard too terribly much about his backstory, so this was all very interesting to me. I had to look it up out of curiosity… so the names on either side of his on his gravestone are his parents. Looks like they were both 24/25 when they had him. They were both born in ‘45. Rest in peace, Vern.💖

he was a good actor for sure he will be deeply miss by all

Loved Verne. This is a sad story at the end. RIP VT. ❤

VH-1's "The Surreal Life" problem w/drinking in that.

You always show such great respect for those who have passed before us. Your level of compassion is truly beautiful. 💜

Another respectful review as always. I appreciate the way you tell the facts without being critical of an individual.

I had NO CLUE about the baby’s day out movie! How cool!

Thanks for sharing his resting place and story.

Larger than life soul gone too soon. Great vlog thank you ❤❤❤❤

A sad but interesting video. Thanks for doing your research. I see parallels between his life and the life of Herve Villachaise, Tattoo from Fantasy Island. I did not realize he was born into an Amish family. I will look forward to future videos, especially those from the great state of Michigan.

I discovered Verne's youtube channel like two weeks before he died. I really enjoy celebrities who appreciate their fans, and he seemed to be just that. RIP

What would Shelley say...yep i posted this to Jordan some years ago and got a reply, which goes to show not only has he got a great channel he is a cool and nice guy to.

Thanks for this video i never knew this about his life

Verne was an adorable actor, just loved him, ty for this Jordan. Be safe🤗🥰🐾

Another great video Jordan so sad Verne was great in his movies with Mike Myers rest in peace Verne Troyer

I was sorry to hear of him passing. I thought he was a good actor. I hope he is resting in peace and free from all his problems. Thanks for showing us this Jordan. Take care.

bring back the green sunglasses at the beginning of the vlogs!! im glad they had a great memorial headstone for mini me!! i only saw him from the mini me from austin powers movie!!

Great report, Jordan. You tell the best stories.

Love your video, I am right around the corner in Kalamazoo Mi.

Hey, thanks for doing one on Mr. Troyer. It was a bummer when he passed. Like some actors when they pass? You feel bad for the family? But there's some actor's male or female that when you hear about the passing? It hurts in your soul. Paul Reubens and Carl Weathers recently but Vern's passing hurt too.

Small in stature, but great in life what a wonderful being you was❤

You are a wonderful story teller! 💥

I'm lucky I got to meet him in 2010. Super nice guy. I remember shaking his hand. It was so small but he had a good grip. I ask him about making another Austin Powers movie and he told me its up to Mike (Myers).

He had us laughing during Surreal Life even though he was humiliating. We couldn't have known how serious his condition was. Wish he could've hooked up with Dr Drew.

Very cool video. Thanks!

He was in our British big brother years ago he was so funny he got drunk and he was on his scooter and bumped into the diary room door.

Hey! He's a Bigger Man , Than Myself . Believe it He Help Me. God works in His Ways .Bless His Spark. Bless All.❤

I watch his videos on RU-vid, cool channel miss Vern RIP.

I remember when I was about 10 or 11 years old I waited in line for 3 and a half hours and they announced he would be done soon he cut the line off right behind me and my father he was very very tired from a long day swarmed by fans they had run out of his photograph but they had some of phil phondicardo who was also there and when we got up he wasnt sure where to sign but we flipped it over and he gladly signed the back my father and me shook his hand it was cool to meet phil too they were really nice to me and I miss him. now him and my dad are in a better place I look forward to seeing them both again. He signed with best wishes from verne troyer aka MINI ME

Met Verne shortly before his death at Venice Beach. Extremely nice guy and very approachable and real.

Great story on Verne Jordan.

I was just in that area of Michigan visiting family. My family has been in that area for a very long time. Had no idea he was from there.

Wow..Thank You Jordan for such a memorial blog. I didnt know that Vern passed. Hollywood can be harsh but Im glad to see that he was able to find such happiness in the biz. Its really so awful that the alcohol did him in like it did. I wouldnt call it "suicide" even if it was self inflicted. It was likely accidental. I wish they would change that. Unless it was apparent it was intentional. I would hate to accidentally kill myself and it be logged as suicide. He really bring joy to so many. And it wasnt because of his stature. He was a quite mighty man. Bigger than life really. Im just in shock. 😪🌈💔

Some people make the best of the cards their delt .RIP❤

Awesome Shirt

"He was actually a big man on campus." I'm not laughing, you're laughing.

Verne Troyes was “very Special” to my daughter and I… When I knew he was coming to an Auto Show here.. I got tickets. Paul Le Mat , Veryne Troyer and Peter Dinklage were doing “meet and greets”! First Stop…Mini Me! I took my daughter and her friend… and they hit it off with Mr. Troyer. I took off to meet Paul La Mat and see his yellow car from American Graffiti. When I got back, all 3 were still talking. I told them “we need to go”… As we were walking away… I looked back and Mr.Troyer was standing on his chair “waving”… He had Hot Wheel Shoes on that day… We won’t forget “Mr. Troyer”. He was so sweet and kind to all of us. Big Loss to all of us.

Rest in peace

I did not know he was dead. I hope he is in a better place.

I remember when he was on the surreal life he was so hilarious in that show RIP Verne Troyes

I see the stone I left from a few weeks back

I always say, if you don’t have good mental health, you have nothing. RIP Verne🙏💖🙏

I followed his youtube page till he died

It would be miserable to live his life. I don’t judge him for ending it.

HI JORDAN..... I AM DOING GREAT!

"Larger than life" - Yeah, there ya go....

Good video, rip to him

Rip Verne Troyer😢❤

He was also on the show Trailer Park Boys as himself

It must have been hard for him to be treated like a “freak”. I’m extremely tall, and because I’m a tall woman people used to treat me like a “freak”. Things have changed a lot since the early to mid 2010’s thank goodness But I understand why he was angry, I get it. 😢

God Bless him ❤

OMG we're from the same state Michigan the only difference is I'm from the Southern part of Michigan

RIP Vern aka Mini Me!

Poor Verne. I had no idea.

I wrote a script about aa far away planet where dogs rule, and CG Vern Troyers were the Humans

Reuben jr & Susan on his gravestone are actually his parents who are still both alive !

Rest In Peace 🙏

He was also in some of The Harry Potter movies.

Rip

He was on Wife Swap farting! It was so funny!

i love his cooking videos

I think thoes names on the head stone with Verne is his parents names

Rest in peace Vern troyer a.k.a. mini me

👍👍

Pour dude drank 2 beers and died of alcohol poisoning.

I love me some mini me!

Is there a reason why there's no date of death on his parent's headstone?

So much to talk about…. So LITTLE time 🤣….

How awesome he was Amish. I knew Verne

You come to Cherry Fest?

Who is buried next to him?

Billy Barty died at 76 not 72

Could those be his parents? He is buried with .
