Actors Who Defy Expectation With Their Height Off Screen

Richard Dreyfuss – 5’5 (165 cm)

After starring in films like Jaws, Stand By Me, and Mr. Holland’s Opus, Richard Dreyfuss quickly became a household name. The Hollywood actor stands at a modest 5’5 and frequently comments on the attention that his height garners from fans:

“It’s like being ashamed that you’re 5-foot-6 or something,” he said in the interview. “It’s just part of me.” His short stature clearly didn’t stop him from becoming a huge star in the 1970s and 1980s. How many Richard Dreyfuss films have you seen?
