this has no importance whatsoever; just a fun post.
i have a thing about height; just like watching tall people. As I enjoyed a second viewing of The Ice Harvest last night, I realized that the lead actors were all tall, so I did my IMDB research. This is so interesting to me; I wonder if John Cusack has a subliminal draw towards taller people!(I'm guessing he had a lot to do with the choice of actors for this film.):
john Cusack 6'3"
harold ramis(director) 6' 2"
oliver Platt 6' 3 1/2"
randy quaid 6'4"
mike starr(hired killer) 6' 3"
connie nielsen 5'10" (very tall for a woman)
billy bob thornton is the midget on this one- 6'0"

funny huh?!
btw, more trivia : connie is danish, as is the woman who starred opposite john in High Fidelity; AND connie's fav band is said to be(IMDB)
The Clash, which is a fav of john's!!

The way to have what we want
Is to share what we have.

Interesting! And I'll add that Harold Ramis (the director) mentions the height of the actors in his comments on the DVD. In fact, he said this was the "tallest" cast he had ever worked with.

More fun facts: Nielson used to be married to Lars Ulrich, the drummer for Metallica.
