Well, just doing my part to show that, despite their disability, short men can still go on to “lead” meaningful lives. Right, Kiya? Chris, you know what I'm talking about.

Definitely worth an Honorable Mention, at least. Still, he's more a character actor than a true “leading man” — I don't know any films (or shows, including his new one) that he's carried by himself. “Twins” you could argue he was a lead, but a co-lead at a minimum.

I think you're right 5'7'' seems a stretch for Cruise to me. Pictures of him and his half-conscious wife show that pretty clearly…

Me too — Oldman is a force of nature, the male equivalent of Cate Blanchett. Fox gets the top nod because he not only pulled off the leading man role in feature films, but anchored a franchise and had leading-man success on two separate TV sitcoms. That gives him the edge over purely-movie leading men…

of course nathan does an article on “short men” just trying to make everyone feel really short, since he is so tall

Personally, i agree with Chris. I think Devito should at least get consideration over Woody Allen. Allen clearly has benefited from his independently financed, self-directed films. Try to find a film that he has stared in that was financed by a major studio and was not directed by himself. Obviously these were the primary factors that propelled his status. Whereas Devito had to convince others, studios and directors alike, that he was worthy of staring (see twins, in which he was clearly the main character) or co-staring roles.
