Peter Dinklage – 4 feet 5 inches

He was born with achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism. Since childhood, a desire to act ran through his veins, as Dinklage and his brother performed puppet musicals for people in their neighborhood. He struggled to find work as an actor, partly because, with his condition, he refused to take the roles typically offered to actors, such as “elves or leprechauns.” A long-distance race that paid off when he became one of Game of Thrones’ protagonists.

Tony Cox – 3 feet 6 inches

Encouraged by relatives and friends, he moved to Los Angeles at 18 to try his luck in the acting world. He started classes at the Merrick Studio School of Acting and soon began working in commercial, film, and television roles. Until his great moment in Me Myself & Irene, where Cox played a memorable role and starred on the screen with world-famous stars like Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger, he got secondary roles. Cox has broken stereotypes, as a dwarf actor in a leading role was his role in Bad Santa.
