With filming already underway in New York, we finally have a name attached to the role of Splinter in the upcoming "Ninja Turtles" film.
Deadline.com reports that Danny Woodburn, perhaps best-known for his recurring role on Seinfeld, has been cast as the Turtles ninja master.
At 4' tall, Woodburn's height provides some insight on the character design for Splinter. Although in the latest TMNT cartoon series on Nickelodeon Splinter is comparatively tall, in previous incarnations he has been consistently shorter than the Turtles.
