Kiran Shah (born September 28, 1956) is a Kenyan-Indian actor and stunt-double.
He is 4 ft 2 in and best known for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), The Rise of Skywalker (2019), and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).
Not to be confused with Deep Roy, another Kenyan-born little person of Indian descent who began acting in The '70s and is less than a year younger than Shah. You can see how people would get them mixed up.
