Brent Collins (31 October 1941 - 6 January 1988) was an American actor, best known for his role as Mr. Big on "As The World Turns" from 1982 to 1983, and as Wallingford on "Another World", whom he played from 1984 until his death.

On "Another World", Collins played the friend and confidante of Felicia Gallant (Linda Dano) and Cass Winthrop (Stephen Schnetzer). These three characters were given much screen time in the mid-1980s, and gave Collins the highest level of fame he experienced in his career.

A dwarf, Collins was also diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, which traditionally causes its sufferers to grow larger than normal in size. Late in 1987, Collins grew rapidly from his short stature, [cite web | title = Marfan syndrome | publisher = Bio-Medicine | url = http://www.bio-medicine.org/biology-definition/Marfan_syndrome/ | accessdate = 2008-05-18 ] which led to his fatal heart attack. This situation is very rare, and very few cases have been documented in medical records.

He also was a guest-star on shows such as "", "The Golden Girls", and "The Streets of San Francisco".
