Daniel Michael DeVito
Jr. (
born November 17, 1944) is an Emmy Award-winning
American actor, director, and an Oscar-nominated producer, who first gained prominence for his portrayal of \"
Louie De
Palma\" on the
popular ABC and NBC TV series Taxi (1978–1983). This sitcom was not widely distributed outside of
North America; in most other countries he is known primarily for his film work. He currently plays
Frank Reynolds on the FX
show It\'s Always
Sunny in
Philadelphia. DeVito is well known for his height - standing only 4\'10\".[1] Some of his
movies make in-jokes to this fact, such as his pairing up with
Arnold Schwarzenegger in
Twins. His
short stature also helped him grab
one of his most
famous roles, The Penguin in
Batman Returns. He also played the ringmaster in
Big Fish to make
Karl the
Giant seem even larger, and had a
cameo in
Austin Powers in Goldmember as a film-within-a-film version of Mini-Me. Additionally, in the film Get
Shorty, DeVito plays an actor who is
cast as
Napoleon in the movie. His wife
Rhea Perlman is 5\'1½\". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_DeVito
