Is Danny Devito a Dwarf?
Is Danny DeVito a Dwarf? Although Danny DeVito claims to be 5 feet tall, a skit on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" revealed that he was actually measured at 4 feet 10 inches, or more precisely, 147 cm. I have often wondered whether he qualifies as a 'dwarf.' While it may not be a significant issue, it does intrigue me. According to Wikipedia, dwarfism is defined as a medical condition characterized by an adult height of under 147 cm. If Danny is now known to be exactly 147 cm, does that mean he is indeed considered a dwarf, or is he just 1 cm away from that classification?

If medical studies show height 4′ 10″ is consider dwarfism and Devito measures 4′ 10″ then yes he is a dwarf.
You have to draw the line some where…it is what it is.
Danny Devito is 5 feet tall, while that makes him short it doesnt put him in the dwarf category either.
I am 5 one and three quarters and am 65. I used to be 5 2 and a half. My entire family is about the the same size, give or take one or two inches. We are normally proportioned and never thought of of ourselves as short, and rarely that. As a kid I thought everyone was our size. Since then it seems everyone else has some sort of freakish tall syndrome. Dwarves are Little people. We are the Randy Newman-style “Short People”.
At one time he may have been 5’0″. Men shrink as they get older. I wasn’t able to find information about him having Fairbanks disease. I would just say he’s just of short stature. I, myself have a rare congenital disorder and only reached a height of 4’8″. I am still uncertain whether or not I consider myself a LP.
A dwarf is a person whose upper body is of average height but their lower body is very short and out of proportion.

No he has Fairbanks disease according to Wikapedia like Robert Reich former Economic Secretary under president Clinton and now a movie guy himself!

I had a meal with him in a restaurant in Gloucester back in 2003. Charming bloke but stingy. Refused to pay his half of the bill – he said “I’m a little short”. I was livid.
