Honestly, anyone under 5'10" doesn't look particularly elvish in real life. There are camera tricks and platform shoes, but at some point, the proportions are off. We don't have to care *too* much about that, but I would hesitate to cast a 5'7" male actor for a role that is meant to be a tall male elf.
I am 5'3" and enjoy dressing up as an elf. But I don't *look* like an elf at all, and not just because my body type isn't 'willowy'. With 6" platforms, I look more elvish .
