Does Height Really Determine Career Success?

 On the other hand, it’s well-known that Hollywood actors skew short—especially leading males. Robert Downey Jr., America’s highest-paid actor at the time of this writing, is below average at 5′ 8″. Other high earners like Mark Wahlberg, Tom Cruise, and Zac Efron are below average. (One of my personal favorites, Kit Harrington aka Jon Snow, is 5′ 8″ as well.)
