Shorty Rossi

American star of Pit Boss (2010-2013), a reality television series on Animal Planet, and the owner and talent manager of Shortywood Productions, a company that works with little people in the entertainment industry and Shorty's Rescue, an organization set up for Pit Bull rescue (which is no longer in service). Rossi was raised by his parents, also little people. His first job in show business was at Universal Studios Hollywood, where he was "Alvin" for an Alvin and the Chipmunks stage show. Since then, he has appeared in many commercials and movies, the latter including The Grinch, with Jim Carrey, and The Kid, with Bruce Willis. He has also appeared on dozens of TV shows and has performed in theatre for years. Since owning his first pit bull terrier at the age of 14, Rossi has championed the breed. This led him to form Shorty’s Pit Bull Rescue, a second business that rescues, rehabilitates and places neglected and abused pit bulls in new homes. It also aims to restore the reputation of the breed through education, activism and positive pit bull involvement in the community. Shorty has written a tell-all memoir Four Feet Tall and Rising, which was released in 2012. Link to Wikipedia biography
