DeVito is one of the few male actors under 5-feet tall who made it big in Hollywood. He rose to fame in 1978 with his role on the sitcom Taxi. Today we’re still seeing him in movies like Jumanji and The Survivor.

“We all have these little things, our insecurities about ourselves. My height and my demeanor. I’m a little rough around the edges. I was always a little shy about it. I kind of went into the mouth of the dragon. Instead of hiding in the background, I went up to the front. I said, ‘Here I am. This is what I do.'” – Danny DeVito
