Tallest man in 'short film' cameo

 Britain's tallest man, basketball player Neil Fingleton hopes to break into the movies. 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.  Neil met Warwick, one of the world's shortest actors, during shooting of a new film on Tyneside. 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. Mr Fingleton, from Gilesgate, stands a foot taller than footballer Peter Crouch and hopes to break into acting after playing basketball in the US and Europe.
