Ethan Phillips, precisely 5ft 4 ¾ (164.5 cm) tall, is an American actor best known for embodying the resourceful Talaxian Neelix on Star Trek: Voyager. His compact stature enhanced Neelix's quirky, endearing image, allowing Phillips to stand out among taller co-stars in the sci-fi series.
Born February 8, 1955, this height suited his versatile career, including film roles in The Island and Inside Llewyn Davis, where his diminutive frame amplified his everyman charm. As a playwright raised in Garden City, New York, U.S., Phillips leverages his physical presence for authentic character portrayals.
