Following his success in the Austin Powers franchise, Troyer appeared in a number of films, including How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) and Bubble Boy (2001). He portrayed Griphook the goblin in the first film of the globally successful Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), although the voice of the character was later dubbed by another actor.
Despite a strong start, Troyer struggled to replicate the popularity of his earlier roles. He appeared in several lower-performing films such as Postal (2007) and The Love Guru (2008), the latter of which was critically panned. Nevertheless, he remained active in the entertainment industry through acting, commercials, and guest appearances.
Apart from film, Troyer was a frequent figure on reality television. He notably appeared on The Surreal Life in 2005 and went on to join the cast of Celebrity Big Brother in 2009. In 2012, he featured in Celebrity House Hunting. These television roles further showcased his unique personality and kept him in public view.
In 2004, Troyer briefly married model Genevieve Gallen, although the marriage was annulled shortly after. Despite limited information about his private relationships, Troyer remained a beloved figure to fans for his humor, resilience, and memorable performances. At the peak of his career, he amassed a net worth estimated at around $10 million.
Rumors of Troyer’s death circulated online in June 2012, causing concern among fans. However, his representatives soon confirmed that the reports were false and that the actor was alive and well at the time. Verne Troyer's legacy continues through his contributions to pop culture and his advocacy for individuals living with dwarfism.
