In Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, Kiran plays Nambi Ghima, a female Aki-Aki who resides on the planet Pasaana, and Yipsit, a Shahkirin male mechanic who served the Resistance. Shah worked as a puppeteer on the Disney+ series Andor, where he portrayed the character Granik.
Since 2003, Shah has held the Guinness World Record as the "shortest professional stuntman currently working in film." Shah's many film credits include Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Dark Crystal, the villainous dwarf Ginarrbrik in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (where he was Elijah Wood's scale double as Frodo).
