The same with Pitt- whom I have a tad more respect for- but Achilles? Cruise in anything makes me puke. Maybe I am biased but I don't think one of these guys is over 5'6" in height or weighs more than 150. What is up with this munchkin dynasty of actors?

The average male height of males in the Early Iron Period of Greek civilzation (1,150 to 650 B.C.) was 5' 5.6". I think he Pitt could reasonably meet that standard.

Pitt looks like a bleached out Wonderbread. Not my choice for any mythological figure. Di Caprio would be great in "Little Men" but not as a Greek God. Only American who could pull any of this off would be Mel Gibson, but, alas, even he's getting on in years. Better look to England where they can ACT and are beyond 5' 6".
