Toby Jones

Toby Jones is another one of those actors who you might not know by name, but you'll absolutely know by face. Fans of cult science fiction will recognize him straight away as the Dream Lord from 'Doctor Who,' but if you like spy movies you might prefer his work in 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.' Jones can play the stiff-upper-lipped Englishman very well, but he's also more than capable of letting his guard down and playing for laughs.

Rather than his five-foot five height hindering his career, it's actually helped it - one of his first major movies successes was in the Truman Capote biopic 'Infamous' - and it's not like a taller actor would have been able to play the part! Since then he's appeared in 'Sherlock,' 'Captain America: The First Avenger,' and 'Frost/Nixon.' He's a versatile and adaptable performer, whose reputation seems to grow with each passing year. It's a shame he doesn't!
