Hollywood's shortest actors
Tom Cruise is a giant among some of Hollywood's smallest leading men.

"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.

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