Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf
Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf (born Henry Joseph Nasiff Jr.; April 20, 1962 – September 4, 2001) was an American entertainer. Hank appeared numerous times on ''The Howard Stern Show'' and on the televised studio segments which aired on the E! channel. He was a member of the show's Wack Pack. His career began August 16, 1996 when he entered Stern's studio at radio station WXRK (K-Rock) in New York City. Hank was tall, and weighed .
Hank received widespread media coverage in 1998 when he won a ''People'' magazine online poll asking the public to vote for the most beautiful person in the world as part of the run up promotion for the magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" issue. When the public was given the option to submit a write-in candidate, the magazine had not counted on 230,169 votes for Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf — beating out assorted celebrities by a wide margin. In third place was Leonardo DiCaprio with 14,471 votes. In the relatively still early years of public participation on the Internet, various media critics picked up on this, wondering whether this was evidence of an emerging digital democracy.
==Early life==
Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf was born Henry Joseph Nasiff Jr. on April 20, 1962 in Fall River, Massachusetts. He was diagnosed with achondroplasia dwarfism a week after he was born. His mother, Claudette, taught him from a young age that he could do whatever he set his mind to do, and Hank learned to ride a bike and participated in Little League Baseball for several seasons.〔Letters to the Editor: ''Herald News'', October 16, 2001 - Fall River, MA〕〔 When Hank was twelve he had an operation on his legs to straighten them. Although doctors had said that he would eventually require more surgery, Hank put off doing it and ultimately opted to not undergo another operation.〔As explained by Hank's mother Claudette — Howard Stern Show — September 5, 2001〕
Before being associated with the Howard Stern Show, Hank had a bit part in an ongoing performance of ''Finnegans Wake'' at a Boston dinner theater. Hank played a character that would pop up out of a beer keg at the end of each performance. He was paid $50 to say four lines of dialogue. The gig lasted two years.〔The Howard Stern Show program segment - August 15, 1997〕
