Tallest man in 'short film' cameo

Britain's tallest man met one of the world's shortest actors during shooting of a new film on Tyneside.

Neil Fingleton from County Durham has a cameo in ShortFellas, set in Newcastle and starring Warwick Davis, who played Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi.



The 26-year-old, who is 7ft 7in (2.31m) tall shook hands with the 3ft 6in (1.06m) actor as they filmed a trailer to raise backing for the movie.

It will be completed next year if producers can raise the £1.5m budget.
