LIFE Lewis claims that there is no medical reason for his short stature. Lewis was nominated for four Young Artist Awards. In 1984 he was nominated for Best Young Actor in a Comedy Series for ''Webster'' and lost to Rick Schroder of '' Silver Spoons ''. In 1985 he was nominated for the same award but it went to Billy Jayne of '' It's Not Easy ''. In 1986 he was nominated for Best Young Actor Starring in a Television Series which Marc Price ended up winning for his performance in '' Family Ties ''. In 1987 he was nominated for Exceptional Performance by a Young Actor Starring in a Television Comedy or Drama Series which Kirk Cameron of '' Growing Pains '' won. He recently appears in Kickin' It Old Skool , in which he has a cameo. PARODIES Emmanuel Lewis is parodied at least three times in '' Saturday Night Live '' in the infamous '' TV Funhouse '' animated sketches of " The Michael Jackson Show ." Lewis' 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 Lewis's face in an animated form. This segment is known for the catchphrase, "Double the Webster, double the fun!" (We see Lindsay Lohan and Tara Reid fighting with Webster faces). In the song " Fire Water Burn " by The Bloodhound Gang , some of the Lyrics make fun of Lewis and other 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 ". In the episode " Road To Rupert " of '' Family Guy '', Peter breaks his television and decides to create a Sitcom in his head. The title of the sitcom is "My Black Son" and it stars Lewis as the black son of Peter Griffin . FILMOGRAPHY
TRIVIA During the 1980s rumour circulated stating that Lewis had died while Michael Jackson was teaching him the Breakdancing move "The headspin". The rumour was unfounded, although it is known that Jackson and Lewis are friends. EXTERNAL LINKS
