At 6-foot-7, "Succession" star Nicholas Braun would seem to have a literal leg-up in life, but the actor said his frame has its drawbacks.
"If there's a father, and he's shorter than 6-2, I have no chance of playing his son," Braun said on ABC News' "Popcorn With Peter Travers." He continued: "I've lost a lot of roles because of my height, because it's hard to photograph maybe for some people. Or they don't want to put the lead actresses on apple boxes, which I understand."
Braun, 31, told Travers his height has caused problems on set, recalling a time his love interest in a film received apple boxes _ "20 pieces of wood lined up and taped together" _ to overcome the height difference.
Braun also added that, at his height, when apartment-hunting in New York you have "to spend money to just have room to move around."
"Succession" follows a billionaire media magnate and his family members' machinations as they prepare for his departure from the business.
It's currently in its second season.
