Additional (uncredited) performers include George Claydon, Frank Delfino, Rusty Goffe, Angelo Muscat, Rudy Borgstaller, Malcolm Dixon, Ismed Hassan, Norman McGlen, Pepe Poupee, Marcus Powell, and Albert Winkinson as the Oompa Loompas. In an article for the Guardian, Goffe wrote that since there weren't a lot of short British actors at the time, several of the Oompa Loompa players were non-English speakers and that translation for repeated instructions was often frustrating for director, Mel Stuart. He also noted that choreographer, Howard Jeffrey, had to adjust dance sequences to account for the actors' shorter legs.
