I agree that he's a poor choice for the role. I also realized from reading his IMDb page that he's been in several movies that I've seen, yet I had no memory of him even after being told he was in them. 5-0 is the first time that he's made an impression on me, and it's not a good one.

None are 5'5". In fact, I'd bet few are under 5'10".

Edit: I realize pretty much everyone has already read this post and has moved on to the next page. Consequently, very few people will even see this edit. However, I decided to just consolidate the various lists I had posted into a single list so that all the information would be in one place. All the information came from various websites, so the heights might be off by an inch or so one way or another (they're most likely shorter than listed), but it gives you a good idea of the size of various people in Hollywood, and it shows that there are plenty of successful people under 5'10" and under 6'0".

In fact, if you look at the list of the top grossing actors of all time on Box Office Mojo, you'll see that 61 of the top 100 men on that list are included on the list below (in bold).

This list is by no means exhaustive. I'm sure there are hundreds more famous actors under 6'0". Enjoy!

I don't particularly like any of the cast members. But they seem to work well together as a group, and the writing hasn't demonstrated any horribly stupid thoughts yet, so I watch it. Actually after the last episode I do recall saying to myself that Scott Caan hasn't even been that bad in the show, so maybe the show is also rehabilitating him a bit in my mind.

 

[whitson77]

He's 5'5".

Really? You don't like him because he's short?

Actually I think he should be applauded. It's VERY difficult for a male under 6 foot to get very far in the Hollywood world.

It is? Almost every big star is well under 6 foot that I can think. It seems like very few big names are over 6 feet.

I admit it is wrong to want him to be taller. And I'm not saying he shouldn't have work, but I hate him in this roll. I think he terrible for this, and he just doesn't look the part to me.

Someone should post a list or something.

 

[JYoung]

Grace Park was one of the final five in Battlestar Gallactica.

No she wasn't.

Spoiler

She was just a standard Cylon

 

[Graymalkin]

I like Scott Caan. I like the show. But what I LOVE is the theme music. They can play that every three minutes for me.

 

[Stormspace]

I agree that he's a poor choice for the role. I also realized from reading his IMDb page that he's been in several movies that I've seen...

Oo oo, Let me guess...

Time Bandits?
Austin Powers as Mini Me?
Willow?
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Wizard of Oz?
Return of the Jedi?

Wrong!!! Scott Caan wouldn't even make a good Oompa Loompa.

You caught me. I didn't go to page 2 when I responded. I curse the Steelers for your insolence.

 

[tivogurl]

Too short to be worthy of a regular television role, too tall to be an Oompa Loompa. Short guys just can't win. (This is only partly sarcastic)

 

[Snappa77]

Isn't Tom Cruise 5'5"?

 

[Jon J]

But what I LOVE is the theme music. They can play that every three minutes for me.

Unfortunately it's only half as long as the original. I keep waiting for the last 32 bars that never come. :down:

 

[DevdogAZ]

Isn't Tom Cruise 5'5"?

According to most of the websites that report on celeb heights, he's more like 5'7" or 5'8" (which probably means he's barely 5'7").

 

[rrrobinsonjr]

Where is the option "You can't 'ruin' a show that already sucks"?

 

[sean67854]

I really like Caan in this show. I am getting tired of the main dude doing running tackles every episode.

 

[Craigbob]

I don't mind Cann, but every time he opens his mouth it sounds like he's channeling his father. this is not a bad thing as James Cann is one of my favorite actors.

 

[retrodog]

I liked James Caan ok, right up until the show Las Vegas. He sucked in that. But so did everybody else... except Sam.

 

[Johncv]

None of the actors bother me. It is just a cop show with great scenary.

I agree with you, but I do enjoy Scott Caan in this show. This is the Danno Hour.
