Jimmy Vee
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Jimmy Vee (born 3 February 1959[1]) is a Scottish actor who has parlayed his 3'8" stature into playing various aliens in Doctor Who since 2005. He has also appeared several times in The Sarah Jane Adventures. His most frequent alien is the Graske.
Vee's involvement with Doctor Who began because the prosthetics designer for the Moxx of Balhoon thought Jimmy would fit into the prosthetic. Vee had also played one of the bank goblins in the first Harry Potter film.[2] In the Star Wars franchise Vee played R2-D2 in Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, succeeding original actor Kenny Baker, and performed creature and droid puppeteering in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
