Actors Who Defy Expectation With Their Height Off Screen

Dustin Hoffman 5’6 (167 cm)

Dustin Hoffman attracts large crowds and large box office results for his films – not bad for a small man. Hoffman has been in Hollywood since the 1960s and won two Oscars for his work. His most notable work includes Rain Man, Kramer vs. Kramer, and Midnight Cowboy.

Commenting on The Graduate and the director’s choice to cast him, Hoffman said: “[Mike] Nichols chose to give this short, funny-looking Jewish guy the role usually reserved for a tall, handsome protestant.”
