Kiran Shah (born September 28, 1956) is a Kenyan-Indian actor and a stuntman. Shah was born in Nairobi, Kenya. He lived in Kenya until he was twelve years old, when he moved to India with his family. While living in India, he became interested in films, and when his family moved to London, he became involved in the show business. His first film was the 1977 movie ''Candleshoe'', as a stand-in for a girl called Sara Tamakuni, and when stunt coordinator Bob Anderson asked him to do her stunts as well, his career was started. Kiran played the part of Bolum in the 1977 film ''The People That Time Forgot''. Kiran is often confused with Deep Roy; they are both dwarf Kenyan actors of Indian descent who got their starts in film and television in the late 70s. Although he is most well known for being the world's shortest stuntman according to the ''Guinness Book of World Records'', he has appeared as an actor in 31 films, compared to his 37 as stuntman or body double. ==Stand-in, stunt, and background work== He has been in several blockbuster films since, such as ''Superman'' (1978), ''Superman II'' (1980), ''The Dark Crystal'' (1982), ''Return of the Jedi'' (1983), ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' (1981), ''Legend'' (1985), ''Aliens'' (1986), ''The Sign of Four'' (1987), ''Bullseye!'' (1990), ''Braveheart'' (1995), and ''Titanic'' (1997) where he stunt doubled all the children in the film. He has appeared as a stunt double or stand-in in ''The Lord of the Rings'' and ''The Hobbit'' film series. He was the scale double for Elijah Wood as Frodo.〔J.W. Braun, ''The Lord of the Films'' (ECW Press, 2009).〕 He doubled Bilbo Baggins as played by both Martin Freeman (in ''The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'', ''The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'', and ''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'') and Ian Holm (''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'').
