"Johnny Betts is a rude 'abnoxious' jerk who needs to be 'punced' in the face."- A grammatically-challenged non-fan
	Movie Minutiae - Dwarf Mel Gibson By Johnny Betts, Moviegoer Advocate Contact Johnny   How many of you have heard of Kevin Weisman? He's best known as Marshall Flinkman on Alias, but I'm about to make him better known as "Dwarf Mel Gibson." I never really watched Alias, but I'd always see Weisman in a commercial for it, or I'd catch him in some other TV guest spot, and I'd always think, "Man, that guy looks like a dwarf version of Mel Gibson." Not to sound mean, but I honestly used to think the guy was a dwarf (take a quick look at IMDb and you'll see I'm not the only one). But after some deep research it appears that he's just a really short guy with a freakishly large head and tiny, stubby arms who happens to bear an odd resemblance to Mel Gibson. Did you ever take your dolls or action figures and scrunch their little plastic faces and have a nice, healthy laugh? If not then your childhood was seriously deprived. My cousin Brent and I could laugh for minutes on end by smushing the faces of my sister's Barbie dolls. Think of him this way - Kevin Weisman is a Mel Gibson action figure with his face scrunched. I've always wondered why nobody had gone into detail on this subject. Too sensitive, perhaps? Too edgy? Too controversial? Well, Johnny Betts isn't scared to bring such themes into the light. After seeing Weisman in an episode of Ghost Whisperer (Jennifer Love Hewitt, baby!), I realized that it was my civic duty to broach the topic. Weisman's character was that episode's ghost who needed to find the light, and he had died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Upon this revelation, I remarked, "Carbon monoxide might take my life, but it'll never take my FREEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!" Man, I laughed and laughed. Still chuckling as I type, as a matter of fact. After all, you might as well laugh at yourself just in case nobody else does.
