Yes. And he stood in for R2-D2.
I did not know that further tidbit. Thank you for that info!

I had to Google him to learn who he was.
Why wouldn't he have received credit in the movie? Who was his agent? Was he paid for the work? And why wouldn't he get credit for it?

This is a Deep cut
Not sure. He's been in at least 29 movies.

He’s become relatively famous and is frequently cast whenever the need for a diminutive person exists. Whether he was of that prominence in 1980 is unclear
I thought he was great as all of the Oompa Loompas in the remake of Charlie and The Chocolate factory. He seems to be very talented! I heard that Hugh Grant is playing a Oompa Loompa in the latest Charlie coming out soon.
