Gurdeep Roy (born December 1, 1957 in Nairobi, Kenya), better known as "Deep Roy", is a very short (4'4", or 132cm) Indian/Kenyan/British actor.

He is one of only two people to have appeared in all of the "big three" Science Fiction mega-franchises: ''Franchise/StarTrek'', ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''Series/DoctorWho'' (the other is Creator/SimonPegg, whose character's sidekick is played by Roy in ''Star Trek''). He has also appeared in many other famous SF works, including Creator/TimBurton's film version of ''Film/{{Charlie and the Chocolate Factory}}'', in which he played [[YouALLLookFamiliar all]] the Oompa Loompas.

Not to be confused with Creator/KiranShah, ''another'' Kenyan-born little person of Indian descent who began acting in TheSeventies and is less than a year older than Deep Roy. You can see how people would get them mixed up.
