The Shortest Male Actors in Hollywood, Ranked by Height (Look Closely)

Ойын-сауық

Have you ever noticed that male stars in Hollywood don’t tend to be very tall? It happens for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that it makes it easier to film them in scenes with female costars, who usually happen to be shorter as well. But even though the average Hollywood male actor is slightly shorter than the average person, there are some big stars who are even shorter than the average actor. In this video, we’re gonna take a look at the shortest male actors in Hollywood, by descending height.
▬Contents of this video▬
00:00 - Intro
00:22 - Tom Cruise - 5’7”
01:39 - Danny Trejo - 5’6”
02:53 - Daniel Radcliffe - 5’5”

We’ll start with perhaps the biggest star on the planet, Tom Cruise. And while Tom is known for wearing shoes that enhance how tall he seems, it’s public knowledge that he’s quite short. But he’s actually the top end of our list of short male actors in Hollywood. We have a hugely talented group that we’re talking about today - men who have achieved huge things, despite their smaller stature. Some are quite obviously short, like Danny Devito, who is known for being a very short, but very talented and successful actor. And for other actors with forms of dwarfism, their short statures are part of what have made them so distinct and recognizable. And then there are people like Danny Trejo, who project power and size on screen, but are actually pretty short! Clearly, all of these men prove that you don’t need to be above average height (or anywhere close to it) to make it as a huge star in Hollywood.
They’ve each gone on to do incredibly well so check out this video today to learn about the short actors who have not only compensated for their lack of height but have thrived in a business that takes physical appearance way too seriously!

    As a studio carpenter for twenty years, we made what's called "apple boxes" of varying heights - 4" high, 8" high, 10" high - for the short actors to stand on in shots where they were right next to a person that was a lot taller than them! We made a lot of them! They're in use all the time!

    Burgess Meredith was maybe 5 foot 4. During WWII, he starred in a short subject (no pun intended) called "The Rear Gunner." It seems that the rear and ball turret gunners on our heavy bombers were best manned by short men. The film (which is on KZread) aims to recruit guys who were nicknamed, "Peewee" and "Shorty" who wanted to get into the fight, but felt their size was against an active role. Rear gunners were all NCO's (because the Germans treated NCO prisoners better than lower ranked ones.) Of course, their chances of surviving were 50-50, the odds being set by the number of missions they would have to complete, starting at 25 and rising into the 30's after the Nazi's ability to fight diminished. This is the key point that drives the plot to "Catch 22).

    A man can be fit, muscular, and short, but the narrator is speaking of the projection of physicality. Taller people who are fit and muscular tend to project that more easily. Lundgren, Momoa, (Alexander) Skarsgard, (Chris) Hemsworth, Schwarzenegger, Evans, Pratt, etc. are all tall. Shorter actors like Van Damme, Statham, Cruise, Efron and Trejo can project, too, but they're not as imposing. Height does make a difference here. Think of the guy (Bjornsson) who played The Mountain in Game of Thrones as an extreme example.

    I figured that Dinklage would make your list because of his height. He may also be the best actor in your video ... and I challenge anyone; male or female, to find me a short guy or anyone as beautiful in the looks department. I'm not so sure I'd change places with him, but it can't be all bad. Great career, great money, probably a trail of used Female naughty-bits ... I can't speak for everyone, but that trade isn't completely out of the question.

    Don't leave out Al Pacino in this comparison. Mr Shorty. Film him in front of everyone else by a few feet, put the camera down to his height, and le looks like a normal height person.

    A good example of the height difference with Al is in Sea of Love. Look at the scenes where Al and Gruber arrive at the apartment building first investigating one of the crimes. When Al is on his own the height difference is dramatic. In the elevator scene, they shoot Al in front of the elevator and Gruber in the back and they look the same.

    Michael Mcdonald is billed at 6'3". I met him in Iraq, and I was his height... I'm only 6'1". I'm not sure how true any of these billed heights are.

    He was only 16 when he joined the Army in 1942. He had a forged birth certificate and a letter from his older sister. I think he was quite a bit shorter then.
