There is some debate over whether or not he is a taller-than-average dwarf[2] due to the way his body proportions and unusually large head appear. His IMDb profile has his height listed as 5 ft 8 in but pictures of him standing next to Jennifer Garner (whose IMDb height is listed at 5 ft 9 in) show her as being more than an inch taller than him. Candid shots however reveal[3] that this is more than likely down to perspective, high heels and some amount of digital manipulation. He is certainly shorter than the rest of his co-stars who all top 5'8". Estimates on Weisman's height vary from 5'6 to 5'7.5[4] placing him far out of the range of any person with the dwarfism condition.
