Back in the day, Sylvester Stallone kept a close eye on the size of the men who appeared in movies with him. We remember once he was shooting in a soundstage some kind of fight scene with lots of extras involved when he suddenly cut the action. He looked around and and decided the other guys in the scene were too tall. Assistants had to run around the studio and quickly find short men to put on the costumes and appear in the scene. A diminutive painter was actually pulled off a ladder, costumed, and added to the action. We don’t think it’s a coincidence that Tom Cruise chose equally height challenged Jeremy Renner as his costar and his character Ethan’s “right hand man” in Mission: Impossible IV.

Janet, you say “we remember”. I assume then, that you were on the set that very day and saw all of this.
That you actually saw the painter snatched from his ladder and costumed to play in the scene.
And I’m sure that painter and the others just happened to have their SAG cards.
Really Janet, how stupid do you think we are.
Point is Janet?
It’s called movie aesthetics.
It’s not at all possible that Jeremy Renner was hired for his amazing acting skills, right? Talk about a kick in balls!!
You are really obsessed with tom`s height obviously.
Does this mean that Snookie will be getting a call soon?
That was a waste of my time Janet! Why are you so obsessed in reaping Tom Cruise apart every chance you get? It’s ridiculous! I’m beginning to think that some “long ago” days you offered yourself to him and he rejected you and this is your way of revenge? You poor thing!
Worked with William Shatner and he use to have various size boxes he would stand on so he would be similar height with his costars during scenes. A fellow coworker of mine has indeed seen this before with some other rather renowned, rather short men. I have met Tom several times and while short, he did not have any boxes to stand on. He did have lifts in his shoes though! LOL It does not make his paycheck any less though!
For those of you who are so offended about Janet’s comments about Tom and his height, (He is 5’7″)one simple suggestion, don’t read her page and leave your comments elsewhere! Janet, you go girl, you never disappoint anyone that is use to your comments. These posters must be Scientologists! ROFL
I think tiny Tom is 5 foot, 7 inches with shoe lifts in place. Funny how his current wife and his ex both towered over him. Him being a devout Scientologist though is what really boggles the mind. He claims SCI helped him become a star, yada yada yada, but if he would research SCI thoroughly he would see (maybe not) that Satan rules this domain. He and those in SCI are totally brain-washed and if the big money givers ever try to get out, their very life is in danger from these weird-o’s.
@Indy,
I believe that they are brain washed too. It’s a cult and it feeds off their weakness and their $$$.
americans are still as NAIVE as usual.
…………OFCOURSE, he just hates it to be seen as a dwarf!!
