The next time you find yourself playing pickup basketball in L.A., it's best not to select Beck for your time. It's not because he's a loser, baby -- far from it. The multi-talented musician stands a mere 5 feet, 7.5 inches tall, according to his IMDB page. That's well shy of average, though he probably picks up a few extra inches from those cool hats he wears.

Beck certainly hasn't let his height hold him back. Throughout his career, he's tried everything from lo-fi folkie-rap to Technicolor R&B, and although he hasn't released a proper album since 2008's 'Modern Guilt,' he made headlines last year with 'Song Reader,' a collection of songs available solely as sheet music. He's alt-rock's answer to Prince, who, for the record, stands a mere 5 feet, 2 inches.
