Ernesto de la Cruz, professionally known as Weng Weng, was a multifaceted Filipino individual who made a significant impact in the entertainment industry as an actor and martial artist. Born on September 7, 1957, and tragically passing away on August 29, 1992, Weng Weng's life was marked by his remarkable physical stature, which measured only 83 cm (2 feet, 9 inches) tall, earning him a place in the Guinness World Records as the shortest adult actor to ever take on a leading role.
Throughout his career, Weng Weng demonstrated his versatility by taking on a variety of roles, including that of Secret Agent 00 in the films "For Y'ur Height Only" and "The Impossible Kid", as well as starring in the western-inspired "D'Wild Wild Weng".
