Deep Roy (born 1957) played Mr. Sin in The Talons of Weng-Chiang and a Posicarian delegate in Mindwarp.
Born in Kenya, he stands 52 inches tall and has been appearing on television and in film since 1976. He has had roles in Blake's 7, The Dark Crystal, Return of the Jedi, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but is perhaps best remembered as one of the ill-fated assassins who tries to kill Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther Strikes Again.
Most recently, Roy played the diminuitive alien sidekick of Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the 2009 film Star Trek. In that film, Scotty is portrayed by fellow Doctor Who alumnus Simon Pegg.
Deep Roy (b. 1957) is an actor, puppeteer, and stunt man who was one of several dwarf performers to serve as additional puppeteers on The Dark Crystal. Roy made his film debut in the 1976 comedy The Pink Panther Strikes Again, in a memorable bit as a bow-wielding Italian assassin whom Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers) mistakes for a small child.
Like Warwick Davis and Kiran Shah, Deep Roy has found a steady living in science fiction and fantasy films, essaying Droopy McCool in Return of the Jedi, Fellini in Flash Gordon, Teeny Weeny in The Never Ending Story, a primate in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, and the Tin Man in Return to Oz (opposite Brian Henson). Recent film credits include several collaborations with Tim Burton, playing dual roles as ape children in the 2001 remake of Planet of the Apes, clown/attorney Mr. Soggybottom in Big Fish, the voice of General Bonaparte in The Corpse Bride, and all the Oompa Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In television, Roy played the sinister robotic toy Mr. Sin in the Doctor Who story "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" and also guest starred on Blake's 7 and The X-Files.
Deep Roy played Droopy McCool in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. He also played an Ewok on Endor and sometimes played R2-D2. In the 2005 film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he was digitally replicated to portray all the Oompa-Loompas. He also plays the alien Keenser in the 2009 film Star Trek.
