This listing is accurate I seen him at a convention a couple of years ago and I'm 5'6" and I was easily taller than him funny thing is he's listed at 5'7" but I can tell you that most of the celebrities I've seen in person that claimed 5'7" were shorter than me

There is no syndrome or any such thing. Child actors are usually older than the characters they portray, because producers and directors want more emotionally mature children who can work the hours and remember the lines they have to. Obviously, that means getting physically smaller older children. It's not some syndrome.

Another with Child Actor Syndrome which stunts the growth. Surely its no coincidence that like all child actors end up 5'4" or 5'5" range as adults.

Had no idea how tall he was but in one of the pics I noticed his short legs and came here with a 5'5" estimate in my mind. Rob do you think he's grown? Sure looks buff now but you can tell he's still a short guy.

Are you people so thick? John is the most stupidest one of all. People's heights grow at different times! There's no such thing as people growing normal heights. Lipnicki is just a few inches away from being 6 feet tall. He was short as a kid but not he's getting taller. People, use your brains for once.

i strongly agree with AA. most child stars are surprisingly short for some reason. i met frankie muniz, and i tower over him cause i'm 6'1 and he's only a bout 5'3. i'm 17 btw. and josephine, i agree with you. i dated a girl who was 5'9 when i was 5'7, not awkward at all. in fact, she was younger than me.

Jon Doe,
I personally don't have a problem dating shorter men than me. I believe that height has nothing to do with beauty or intelligence, at least I know a lot of busted looking/dumb tall males.But being 5'4" kind of makes it difficult for me to find guys smaller than that. The smallest guy I dated was my height.

Jon Doe, Mouldy was just kidding around, I think, but I agree with you. We have all these gay people (I'm not homophobic) going around in the open now, and people act like it's so normal. But when a woman is taller than a man, people laugh about it and everything.
I mean, as long as they're attractive, I like taller girls, even though I probably wouldn't date a girl who is taller than me. I'm currently in my Freshman year of high school, and although I'm not short for my age, there are quite a few girls who are taller than me. There's this one girl who looks about 5'11", and another who is about 6'3."

He does seem really short, and he always seemed young for his age. A lot of child stars do. But Joshua Jackson (Charlie Conway in "The Mighty Ducks", and Pacey in "Dawson's Creek") seems to have done the same thing. I think that Joshua was just a late bloomer, though, because he was 13 in "The Mighty Ducks," though he looked and sounded about 10. In "D2: the Mighty Ducks," he was about 15, and he seemed about 12. In "D3," he was about 17, and he looked and sounded about 17. He even grew to be 6'2" afterwards. While Joshua may have aged normally in the end, a lot of these child stars are super short and they never look their age.

jonathon told a friend of mine he was 5'6, my friend's 5'7 and 18. Is this usually considered truly short or just a little bit?

That statistic on the top of this page was taken last year. He is now 16 and 5'5.5. So he has grown 2 and a half inches so far and probably will grow from there up to the age of 18 unless he grows after he is 18 we will see.

sf your mistaken on the fact that they can work longer, young actors have strict rules to abide by when working on film sets. I just gotta say that it is a little small for a 15 year old boy, my little brother was 15 about 2 months ago and he is almost my height 6'3.

Not all child stars are short! There are quite a lot young guys and girls who are tall. For example Nicholas Hoult. The guy is only 15 and already a 6'2"-footer. A future giant!

You guys are overlooking the obvious. Like J-Dog was saying, it's usually the younger-looking ones that get many of the parts. These kids are already young looking, both in the face, and in height - shorter than most kids their age. Part of the reason they get the parts is because of this advantage. They look 10, but are actually 13. So, they are a little older, and at the maturity of an older kid, which may help them to be a better actor. So, you've got a kid better able to memorize lines, who can act better, who can work longer hours, who can stay up later, etc, but looks younger.
But, I would add, too, that it's probably possible that some stress does enter in, especially when a kid makes his bread and butter off of looking like a kid and being cute. He/she wants to stay young, and you would think that that the need to stay young and cute pyschologically, might actually have physical effects, as well. Just some thoughts...

I wonder why that is, I guess becasue aging is so quickly most kids who have a normal puberity state and growth spurt seem to age fast, and it takes time usually years for even child stars to break through, therefore the one's that look younger than they are have the best shot?

i think it must be all the stress they get. In my sixth grade year, i didn't grow at all, because I was put in a wrong private school with the smartest kids in the universe... then when i moved out, I started growing again, 3 inches a year. Now at ninth grade I am around 5 nine to 5 eight. Stress really stunts growth.

All child stars are short... and seems younger that their age. Like, in "Like Mike", Bow Wow looked about 12, but he was 15. Even Frankie Muniz seems younger, cause he is short...
