Can you name short actors who consistently played lead roles?

When I look at actors like Daniel Radcliffe or Macaulay Culkin, I think of failed artists in the sense that when all of the cuteness disappeared, there were no roles for them. I'm talking about actors of our generation. Tom Cruise, Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman are from a different era where the average height for men was a tad lower. Tom Cruise played lead roles through most of his career, but he is borderline short.

See Radcliffe, he played a lead role in a romantic comedy. It seems like that's all that's left for short adult actors, movies that play up dumb stereotypes of short guys being buffoons (Ben Stiller, David Spade, Martin, etc).

Well looks at a lot of the latest films. There are tons of short men who take the lead like Jason Statham. He is billed 5'10 but people all over said he is not over 5'9 and I believe him to be about 5'8 myself.
