Wayne Knight, precisely 5ft 6 ¾ (169.5 cm) tall, leverages his compact stature to embody memorable, larger-than-life comedic characters that dominate the screen.
Best known for his role as the scheming postman Newman on Seinfeld, where his height accentuates the character's slovenly, adversarial charm opposite taller co-stars, Knight also shone as Officer Don Orville in 3rd Rock from the Sun. His film highlights include the frantic computer expert Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park, the hapless Stan Podolak in Space Jam, and various antics in Rat Race, with his 169.5 cm frame enhancing his everyman intensity and physical comedy prowess.
