Hollywood was built on tall, dark and handsome, right? Well, ever since rumors circulated that Tom Cruise stood on a box to kiss Kelly McGillis in Top Gun, we've known that the diminutive 5ft 7in actor can only check two boxes on that list.

Take a look at 15 dwarf actors whose small statures translated into big screen success.
