Verne Troyer Hospitalized After Seizure – ‘Austin Powers’ Star Tweets ‘Everything’s OK’

Verne Troyer was rushed to the hospital on Saturday after suffering a seizure in Texas, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Troyer, best known for his role as Mini-Me in the "Austin Powers" movies, was attending the Heart of Texas Comic Con when the incident occurred.

Fortunately, test results came back normal and he's "doing fine," his rep told The Hollywood Reporter. The 46-year-old Troyer tweeted Saturday evening, "Everything's ok guys. Thanks for the concern."

He later posted a video message from his hotel room to ensure that he really is feeling fine. Troyer said he spent a couple hours in the hospital but would return to the convention on Sunday to sign more autographs.

The 2 foot 8 inch actor is one of the shortest men in the world due to his cartilage-hair hypoplasia dwarfism. He last starred in the horror flick, "Gnome Alone."
