Hollywood's Shortest Actors.
Hollywood's shortest actors
Tom Cruise is a giant among some of Hollywood's smallest leading men. By Martin Chilton, Digital Culture Editor 12:39PM BST 15 Jun 2011 "Tom Cruise, 5'7", is preparing to play Jack Reacher, a character nearly a foot taller than he is - but some Hollywood actors have always been a bit touchy about their height. Humphrey Bogart was 5' 8" but he was concerned that audiences would notice that he was smaller than Ingrid Bergman, his co-star in Casablanca. In some scenes, Bergman was told to slouch down on a sofa - with Bogart sitting on extra cushions - to level up their heights. The 1940's film noir star Actor Alan Ladd (5' 6") would sometimes stand on a box to appear taller than his female co-stars." Actually there are arguments about Bogarts height. Some say 5'8", some 5'9" Sort of like actors and actresses ages, hard to verify. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/f...st-actors.html |

And, of course, some are just short on talent.
