Tokunation › Kamen Rider › Verne Troyer, Ferbus Suit Actor for Saban’s Masked Rider, Has Passed Away

Verne Troyer, Ferbus Suit Actor for Saban’s Masked Rider, Has Passed Away

Posted on April 21, 2018 at 5:55 pm by Den-O under General Tokusatsu News, Kamen Rider

Today we have some sad news to report. Verne Troyer, the actor perhaps best known for his role as the character Mini-Me in the Austin Powers franchise, has passed away. He was 49.

Now why are we reporting on this? Well, it’s an often over looked fact that Verne Troyer also had one small role in tokusatsu. An infamous role that has become an ironically loved character in recent years. Verne Troyer was actually the suit actor for Ferbus, from Saban’s Masked Rider. As such we felt it only appropriate to share the news of his passing with community.

The news of his passing comes way of The Hollywood Reporter. While no immediate cause of death is listed, there are quotes taken from his representatives/family that mention severe and chronic bouts with depression and suicide. Regardless of what has claimed his life, we only hope that all involved parties respect the privacy of those who cared for him and whom he cared for. If you yourself are suffering from depression or suicidal thoughts, please seek help from such sources as the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. The world is better with you in it.

    Sad to report that Verne Troyer, popular for his role as Mini Me in the Austin Powers films, and more obscurely known for his role as the suit actor for Ferbus, has passed away.

    The Hollywood Reporter has direct quotes from his family/representatives that discuss long and ongoing bouts with depression and suicide. No direct cause for his death was given, but we are deeply saddened regardless of the circumstances.

    I didn't know Verne Troyer was Ferbus's suit actor, and it's awful to hear he's passed away.

    I remember him having a booth at LexCon a few years back.

    I find myself wishing I'd made the effort to stop by it when I had the chance back then.

    Son of a bitch!!! Noooo! I'm ready to leave this world now. I don't want to be in a world without Mini Me. I'm serious. The only deaths worse than this for me, that have yet to happen, are Stan Lee and George Takei.
