Anton Lesser, precisely 5ft 5½ (166.4 cm) tall, is an English actor whose compact stature enhances his authoritative screen presence in intricate roles.
Born in Birmingham on February 14, 1952, he studied architecture at the University of Liverpool after Moseley Grammar School, bringing a structured mindset to his acting career.
His 5ft 5½ height suits him perfectly for commanding characters like the cunning Qyburn in Game of Thrones, where physical intensity amplifies intellectual menace. This trait shines in TV roles across Endeavour, The Hour, and Little Dorrit, and films such as Charlotte Gray and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, allowing nuanced performances that punch above his exact stature.
