Mini Me is getting his own reality show–just don’t call it a mini-series.
Verne Troyer will star in an NBC pilot called “Life is Too Short,” a half-hour reality comedy starring the 2-foot-8 actor and his surrogate family, Variety.com reports.
The show will follow Troyer, his manager Elena Fondacaro and veteran actor Phil Fondacaro (“Willow”)–all of whom are of small stature–as they live and work in Hollywood. The trio will room together “Real World”-style in a San Fernando Valley, Calif., home specially built to accommodate their size.
Fondacaro says the three are not out “to make a spectacle” of themselves. Rather, “if I educate one person about what it’s like to walk in my shoes, that’s great. That’s huge.”
As long as nobody tells Dr. Evil.
