American Horror Story Actor Who Played Meep Dies at 34

Ben Woolf, the 4’4” actor who played the circus geek Meep in American Horror Story: Freakshow has passed away.

Woolfe, was only 34 and had been in critical condition since being hit by the side mirror of a vehicle while crossing the street in L.A. last week.

In a way, Meep will live on for me because my friend, Matt Kaplowitz, looks just like Meep except 16 inches taller. Seriously, I always told Matt that he looked like the actor Stanley Tucci, which he was fine with. But that was before I saw Ben Woolf who looks disconcertingly like Matt Kaplowitz. Matt is actually a twin and I’m starting to wonder if there wasn’t a triplet that got discarded but managed to skitter away and eventually became an actor in Hollywood.

If you don’t believe me about the resemblance, I’ve put their photos side by side. Behold…I give you MEGA-MEEP.

And, yes, Mega-Meep doesn't always drink alcohol but, when he does, he prefers chick drinks.
