Lizzy Caplan, at exactly 5ft 4 (162.6 cm), embodies a petite yet powerful screen presence that defines her career in film and television.
Her compact stature enhances her ability to portray relatable, sharp-witted characters who command attention despite their average height, making her a standout in ensemble casts.
- In Mean Girls (2004), her 5ft 4 frame added to the authentic high school dynamic as the sarcastic Janis Ian.
- She brought intensity to the found-footage horror of Cloverfield (2008), where her height grounded her as a survivor in chaos.
- Caplan's height suited her clever illusions in Now You See Me 2 (2016) and comedic timing in Hot Tub Time Machine (2010).
On TV, her 162.6 cm build was ideal for Virginia E. Johnson in Masters of Sex (2013-2016), earning Emmy, Satellite, and Critics' Choice nominations for a role that highlighted her poised intensity.
