Ian Alexander, precisely 5ft 0 (152.4 cm) tall, is an American transgender actor celebrated for his role as Buck Vu in The OA and Gray in Star Trek: Discovery. His diminutive height defines much of his charismatic online persona, where he proudly declares himself the 'little guy' on Twitter, joking at age 16 that he's '5'0 and can't reach 100 lbs but i'll kick ur ankles if u call me smol.' He frequently addresses height insecurities, lamenting concert views at 'perfect elbow height' while affirming that stature never stopped stars like Tom Cruise.
Alexander's petite frame fuels his relatable 'littleguytwitter' vibe, pushing back against taller 'cis men' claiming shortness and embracing his size as average in Vietnam heritage contexts, turning potential dysphoria into empowering humor amid rising Hollywood career highlights.
