Afficionados of Brick Lane Music Hall pantomimes will remember Rusty Goffe’s historic performance in Snow White and the Dwarf, where his character was masterminding a benefits scam which involved taking the parts of all seven dwarfs, all musicians, including a French accordianist and a Spanish guitarist.

Rusty has taken on some epic roles over the years, in a whole variety of elaborate disguises including roles in several major films. Rusty was an original Oompa Loompa – pictured below alongside Gene Wilder (Rusty is on the left). He is known world wide among Star Wars fans for his role as Jawa in the film.  He has apppeared in several Harry Potter films, including most recently as the Goblin Bank Teller (left, next to Anthony Allgood), in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

In this year’s pantomime, Big Dick Whittington, Rusty plays King Rat.

Big Dick Whittington runs until March 8th.
