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!

The biggest surprise for me was Danny Trejo. He seems much taller than 5'6" .
-
Don't care how tall Danny Trejo is. He's badass beyond measure.
-
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!
-
When Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced, she commented that she can finally wear high heels again.
-
If Tommy Cruise says hes 5.7 then he is 5'2.
-
Danny Trejo is one of my favorite actors. I had no idea he was only 5' 6". His height really has not affected his career. On screen he is bigger than life . All of these men are good actors and I enjoy watching them act. Just goes to show someone doesn't have to be a giant to be a giant.
-
Um, Danny Devito didn't get his start on Taxi but in the movie, One Flew Over the CooCoo's Nest a full 3-years before Taxi aired.
-
I remember Nicole Kidman on a talk show where the host asked how she was doing after her divorce from Tom. She replied: Well, I can wear high heels now. 😋
-
Peter Dinklage is a giant of a man in talent, character, intellect and drive.
-
Cruise in no way appeared to be looking eye-to-eye with Kate. He looked like the short dude he is.
-
As a 5'6 male, I really enjoyed this! Retired Royal Marine Commando and I was not the shortest. Seriously, its about personalty, self esteem. She wont care about height if you get those squared away.
-
You missed Al Pacino. 5 foot 6.
-
Peter Dinklage is a fantastic actor - and is by far my favorite.
-
Back in the day, the most popular actors were also very short. Alan Ladd, Humphrey Bogart, Miket Rooney and James Cagney come to mind.
-
Micheal J Fox an absolute legend great actor not mention being on one of the most famous movies and some say the best movie of all time back to the future
-
I gotta say that the Danny Trejo one surprised the hell out of me.
-
General rule of thumb, you can usually subtract three inches from official billed height of anyone famous. There's no way in hell Tom Cruise is 5'7". He's 5'5" at the most.
-
You should have featured Mickey Rooney, who at one time was bigger box office than Clark Gable. Rooney’s career spanned from childhood to old age in many award winning films. Comedy, drama, musical, dancing, Rooney mastered all.
-
I normally cant stand videos like this, but this was done really well & quite entertaining.
