Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

I was thinking that if I was an 8 footer I could carry a folding wheel chair to bring my height down to handle hallways etc where I'd have to stoop. A smaller person can't carry a ladder everywhere.

But overall, the taller one is going to have more opportunities than the smaller one.

I can think of more very tall actors than smaller ones.

Verne Troyer, Wee man, and Peter Dinklage spring to mind for actors with dwarfism while on the very tall side there was mostly dudes who did pro wrestling or basketball first but I don't think they had serious careers in acting like Shaq, Andre, Big Show, and Great Kali. Richard Kiel is the only notable extremely tall guy (7 foot 1 inch) who had a real acting career. He played Jaws and the tall guy in Happy Gilmore.

Kiel also had the greatest fight scene in history.
