Tiny Asian assassin in the beer festival scene.


The Oktoberfest scene in which the various assassins bump each other off is hilarious, but I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the actor who played the little assassin with the crossbow. He is South Asian in appearance and I'm sure I've seen him in other films, but cannot find out his real name. Please help!

Although credited as the 'Italian Assassin', it is Deep Roy, AKA Mr. Sin in the Doctor Who serial 'The Talons of Weng-Chiang.' Roy can be seen in a documentary about the making of 'Weng-Chiang' (included in that serial's DVD set) called 'Whose Doctor Who'.

Thanks for the info dude! I was really confused, because in the trailer for The Pink Panther Strikes Again, the little fellow is dubbed as an assassin 'From England' and I couldn't find such a character in the credits. Cheers!

Deep Roy also plays the Oompa Loompas in the recent "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie with Johnny Depp. He's hilarious doing Van Halen!!

In the closing credits, he's literally identified as "Princess Aura's pet", but during the first scene in Ming's throne room, she identifies him as "Fellini", presumably a reference to the director.

He's also an Egytian guard in the 2009 Transformers movie. I thought I recognized him while watchiing Transformers so I had to come here to be certain. Sure enough, it was him.

I thought he looked familiar! Thanks for info. Dang, he must be pretty old now!




I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
