	Actors - Emmanuel Lewis

Emmanuel Lewis (born 9 March 1971 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor. He is best known for his title role in the 1980s television sitcom Webster. He is only 3 feet 4 inches tall (1.02m). He is said to be a close friend of Michael Jackson. He is often confused with Gary Coleman, star of Diff'rent Strokes.

He also released the Japanese number one hit "City Connection", which is considered to be rare and impossible to find.

Parodies

Emmanuel is parodied at least three times in Saturday Night Live
in the infamous TV Funhouse
animated sketches of "The Michael Jackson Show." Emmanuel's animated look is just like Webster, but with grey hair and a grey beard (a joke about him "aging"). One segment shows Michael wearing glasses to see his "close friend," whose celebrity face becomes Emmanuel's face in an animated form. This segment is well-known for the disturbing catch-phrase, "Double the Webster, double the fun!" (We see two female celebrities fighting with Webster faces).

In the song "Fire Water Burn" by The Bloodhound Gang, part of the lyrics makes fun of Lewis and other famous celebrities: "But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well, I'll spend my days with JFK, Marvin Gaye, Martha Raye, and Lawrence Welk, and Kurt Cobain, Kojak, Mark Twain and Jimi Hendrix's poltergeist, And Webster yeah, Emmanuel Lewis 'cause he's the anti-christ".
