Like, Harry Earles, he also appeared in "Freaks". He had a prominent role in the infamous wedding banquet scene which was immortalized in the Ramones song "Pinhead". Unlike Earles however, Rossitto had a long career in Hollywood. Over the next 5 decades he played assorted pygmies, martians, and was even a stunt double for Shirley Temple. During the 1970's, he played characters on the Saturday morning kids' shows "H.R. Pufnstuff" and "Lidsville" as well as having a recurring part on Baretta as "Little Moe", shoeshine boy/street informant. His final role was also his greatest. He was the master half of the Master Blaster duo in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" (1985). That was 53 years after his role in "Freaks" !!
