Just found out the height of The Fonz and was surprised to learn he aint too tall, not for the king.

Henry Winkler 'The Fonz' - 5' 6" (1.68 m)

Michael J Fox - 5' 4½" (1.64 m)

Martin Short - 5' 7½" (1.71 m) (not so short!)

Danny Devito - 5' (1.52 m) (wow)

Gary Coleman - 4' 8" (1.42 m)

Dustin Hoffman - 5' 5½" (1.66 m)

Dudley Moore - 5' 2½" (1.59 m)

Woody Allen - 5' 5" (1.65 m)

Tom Cruise - 5' 7" (1.70 m)

James Dean - 5' 8" (1.73 m) (so so)

Bruce Lee - 5' 7½" (1.71 m)

Al Pacino - 5' 7" (1.70 m)

Audie Murphy - 5' 5" (1.65 m)

Seth Green - 5' 4" (1.63 m)

Daniel Radcliffe - 5' 5" (1.65 m)

Ben Stiller - 5' 8" (1.73 m)

Verne Troyer - 2' 8" (0.81 m) (you read it right)
 
With the exception of Jim Parsons who plays Sheldon, the other male cast members of The Big Bang Theory who play Leonard, Howard and Raj are all relatively short. Kaley Cuoco and Mariam Balik who play Penny and Amy respectively appear to be of average height, but Melissa Rauch, who plays Howard's girlfriend Bernadette, is only 4'10.
 
I wonder it their are practical reasons for short guys getting by in TV/film.

You think with those shows that are talk fests such as Home & Away you don't want the male actors towering above the babes, you want the camera shot to have their heads in the same ball park.
 
Pacino is only about 5'5 or 5'6.

Audie Murphy owns this thread though, one of the greatest war heroes in American history and then an incredibly popular leading man. People were shocked to find out he was only 5'5, used a soap box in most of his films.

By the same token, some guys are taller than you realise.

It was only when I listened to the DVD commentaries for Community that I discovered both Chevy Chase and Joel McHale are about 6' 3"-6' 4", yet I've never considered them to be towering over their co-stars.
 
Kristin Bell is 4'11.
 
I get the impression that acting is one of the few areas where being short is more advantageous than being tall. After all, there are plenty of tricks to make a short man seem taller - it's much harder to make a tall man seem shorter.

You'd be surprised at actors that are taller then they seem, as well. I'd post their heights, but I cbf.

'The Fonz' is a short arse. :D

Added Seth Green and Daniel. Seth Rogen I thought might be short but is 1.80m. Ben Stiller is my height, average, but I added him anyway ;)

Hayden is 1.74m, won't add footballers. Certain soccer players could make it onto the actor list though.
 
Elijah Wood 1.68m
Sean Astin 1.68m
Dominic Monaghan 1.70m
Billy Boyd 1.69m
