He's 5'10" tall. Too tall IMO to be Baelish.
But after watching him on "The Wire" I totally understood that it was his acting that got him the job, not his appearance.
I mean, Sean Bean was too fat to play Ned, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams are too close in age to each other, the guy playing Greatjon Umber is to lanky, etc etc.
But in the end, their performances were what counted.
I always thought that James Callis (a bit shorter at 5'8" ) would have been great as Baelish.

Also, is it me or is he too tall for Petyr Baelish?
