Verne Troyer (January 1, 1969 – April 21, 2018) was an actor best known for his role as "Mini-Me," Dr. Evil's smaller and more concentrated pure evil protégé, in the hit comedy Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). Even though Verne has become recognized as a "Big Man in the business," he has been working in show business as an actor and stuntman for several years. Troyer, born in Sturgis, Michigan, had always dreamed growing up of getting into showbiz. Shortly after his high school graduation in 1987, Verne moved with some friends to Arlington, Texas, where, in 1993, he got his first break into showbiz as a stunt double for a 9-month-old baby on a film called Baby's Day Out (1994). Over the next few years, Verne made several film and television appearances, often portraying animals or small children.
(TV Adaptation - 1 season per book) An archaic guild known as Black Serpent needs to locate the despicable Thirteenth Knight’s body and revive him using the Holy Grail to break a curse inflicted on them by the warlock Merlin. The grail is in shatters, and the pieces are possessed by the descendants of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, so Black Serpent must hunt them down to complete the chalice. However, Merlin has other plans, and he recruits the remaining descendants - now deemed the Order of Chivalry - as guardians to the Holy Grail’s remains. Will the renewed, unseasoned order succeed in keeping the fragments safe from the cursed creed by working as a functioning unit or crumble under their grapple with ego, conflicting ideals, and fear?
