Paul McCrane, standing at an exact 5ft 6 (167.6 cm), is an American actor, director, and singer whose stature has perfectly suited his memorable character roles in film and television.
Best known for portraying the abrasive Dr. Robert Romano on ER, where his compact height amplified the character's intense, authoritative presence despite his physical size, McCrane also shone as the villainous Bob Morton in RoboCop (1987) and appeared on 24. His self-aware humor about being a 'character-leading guy' rather than a leading man underscores how his 5ft 6 frame has defined his edgy, versatile career in theatre, TV, and film.
