Christopher Nolan avoided CGI and used 7ft stuntmen to portray Laestrygonians in The Odyssey. The giant leader, King Antiphates, is portrayed by actor Josh Stewart, while Matt Damon’s stunt double is Devyn Dalton, who is just under 5ft.

ETAA: The one pictured here behind Devyn is Stephen Adentan, who portrays one of the giant soldiers. They’re 2 feet apart in height.
