Being five-foot-five didn't turn out to be a detriment [to getting acting jobs]. It was okay to be a short actor because no one cares whether doctors, lawyers, scientists or psychiatrists are short. They're not very physical — they mostly sit and read and talk. You don't have to be tall for that.

I think he was similar or even a bit edged by Richard Dreyfuss. Yeah, Bob has been in a lot of quality films.

That's a mighty good CV Bob has there, so he is deserving of a comment. I've seen 'Close Encounters...', 'Lady In The Water' and 'Midnight Cowboy' 🤠, so no wonder I recognized him.
5ft5 peak and an inch less today. 😁👍
