American actor, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars series of films. In a Tiger Beat fact-file at age 20 he had his stats as "5'7', 130 lbs" which is the details he listed on his own resume.
Listen, I'm not so short. I'm 5-foot-8 in my heels. The director, George Lucas, is my size - I'm really playing him in the movie - and he kept putting in short jokes. I never thought of myself as short until George told the world.
-- Salt Lake Tribune, 1977
