I tend to get parts that look like little guys only they're actually much bigger. My actual height is five foot six (a figure he later amends to 5 ft. 5½ inches) so to put it bluntly it's obvious I' not going to be offered a part that might go to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Well, I wasn't being offered a lot of the Schwarzenegger parts! When you're 5ft 5in, have a round Jewish face and wear glasses and refuse to wear contacts, you're going to get offered certain parts. I didn't feel the need to change anything I was doing - I embraced it.
