Little Big Guys

ElMaruecan82
Jebediah Springfield once said "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man". We can all say "Amen!" to that.

Yet, as true as it is, this creed wasn't fully embraced by Hollywood where heightism seems to have prevailed for decades and decades, allowing only a few vertically challenged actors to portray heroic characters instead of the usual sidekicks, comic reliefs, or vile antagonists from the sneaky traitors to the villains with 'Napoleon Complex'.

Celebrating the "little big guys" of cinema, which of these heroic characters played by actors under 5'8 is your favorite?

After voting, you may discuss the list here

(only male adult roles, characters over 20, and no member of a group or creatures of naturally small size)
