"I worked with him for a long time. He’s a great comedian. I always want to make that point. As written, Mini-Me is almost like a prop, but he brought it off the page and made it better than written, and we just ended up giving him more and more stuff to do. A great physical comedian and a great dancer, just a fantastic guy."
