Scully Box: Difference between revisions

Line 65:

* In ''[[iCarly]]'', the actor who plays Freddie was very short in the first season, compared to the 2 girls in their power trio. So he had to wear a very visible pair of giant platform boots. By the time season 2 started he'd hit puberty with a deeper voice (mentioned on the show), and he was as tall as Carly. In the current episodes, he's starting to tower over Carly as well.

** In Season 4, [[Miranda Cosgrove]] has continued to get taller, while Jennette Mc Curdy has not, so in episodes from Season 4 onward she starts wearing platform shoes.

* Inversion. In the later seasons of [[M*A*S*H|Mash]] with Major Burns, Burns seems to get shorter, despite Larry linville being 6'1" and Alan Alda standing 6'2", and Mike Farrell 6'3". It may have been a nod to the movie, where Burns was played by Robert Duvall (5'8") and Hawkeye by Donald Sutherland (6'4"), and Trapper Elliot Gould (6'3").

* Inversion. In the later seasons of [[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]] with Major Burns, Burns seems to get shorter, despite Larry linville being 6'1" and Alan Alda standing 6'2", and Mike Farrell 6'3". It may have been a nod to the movie, where Burns was played by Robert Duvall (5'8") and Hawkeye by Donald Sutherland (6'4"), and Trapper Elliot Gould (6'3").

* In [[Supernatural]], both Katie Cassidy (5'7") and Genevieve Cortese (5'4") played the demon Ruby. Since almost all of their screen time was spent in the company of the 6'4" [[Jared Padalecki]] and 6'1" [[Jensen Ackles]], tall, spiky heels became a standard of Ruby's wardrobe from the get go. Katie Cassidy has stated these caused her to lose her balance on more than one occasion.

* Used in-universe in ''[[Veep]]'', where the Vice President's assistant has a folding stepping stool in his bag for her to use during speeches when the lectern is too tall. This is understandable, given that the actress, Julia Louis Dreyfus, is 5'3.
