Description:

The 2010 American indie film Bit Players explores the complex lives of two little people navigating their careers in Hollywood. Marty, played by Verne Troyer, and Gus, played by Phil Fondacaro, hold completely different aspirations and expectations about their futures in the entertainment industry. As they prepare for a scene where they are cast as Oompa Loompas in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the two actors face a harsh creative dilemma. Amid the glitter and stereotypes of the film industry, they struggle to find dignity in their craft. Will Marty and Gus ever be able to break out of being cast as anything but comic relief in movies? Bit Players delivers a touching and thought-provoking look at the personal struggles of underrepresented actors fighting to be seen as more than just physical novelties.
