Chris Hollyfield - Using difference to make a difference

Chris Hollyfield started out as a Pro Wrestler but his big break came when he was invited to join the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), bursting into the arena as Little Boogeyman.

He is also a radio and TV personality, appearing in 3 independent movies - ‘WWF SmackDown!’ (1999), ‘Hell Date’ (2007), and Festival (2011).

Chris has also appeared on talk shows including Maury, Sally Jessy Raphael, and Jerry Springer, as well as appearances on ESPN, 60 minutes, NBC Dateline, and Primetime Live.

He has also made the rounds of the reality show circuit, featuring in - Road Trip, Gamers, 5 Days in the ‘A’, The real World Extreme Challenge, and Miami Ink.

Chris is an African American born with dwarfism. An undersized man in an oversized world, very determined to succeed in life. Standing just 4 feet 4 inches, Chris never let anything get in his way and despite al the amazing accolades, Chris is most proud of being an awesome Dad.

With an incredible career to his name, and with some differences to carry though life, Chris decided it was time to give back.

Chris wrote the book ‘Big Message Short Story’ to share the massage of anti-bullying. He certainly got his share of that over the years. He then created the ‘Got Respect Tour’, where he visits schools and organisations presenting as a motivational speaker on the topic of anti-bullying, with the tagline “I’m different to make a difference”.

Chris also gives back by coaching a Special Olympics Power Lifting team.

Physically Chris may be little, but the size of his heart is almost as big as him!
