(I thought this might begin a series of posts, about surprising biographies found when looking up film people).
I remember Michael Dunn as the recurring nemesis "Dr Loveless" in The Wild Wild West TV show of the 1960s. He was also in an original Star Trek episode "Plato's Stepchildren" which I think of as "tug of dwarf".
I just saw Gordon Hessler's Murders in the Rue Morgue (1971) where he has a prominent role. The commentary track had a long section about him, which I now see was a recitation of his wikipedia page. I'll let people read that rather than copy it all here.
One of many surprising facts: his sidekick in The Wild Wild West was normally-sized actress Phoebe Dorin, a friend with whom he had worked up a nightclub act. In the TV show they would break into song while performing nefarious deeds. She's still acting.
