The Sentinel did this a lot, because Major Crimes was stocked with HUGE MEN, and Blair reminds them once that they are not representative. BAY makes Richard Burgi look a touch small.
Phil looks like a bank clerk or an accountant, one that bikes, maybe runs with a dog. Drop him in with a bunch of strapping 6'3"+ ala Brock, and he looks tiny. Not as tiny as Steve at the induction center (and was that supposed to be one near Princeton?)
Salon a number of years back had an essay about how women could look comparatively small and delicate without really being either, when the men were gentle slabs of beef, but it gets Procrustean if the men change and the relative standard remains. (Compare Spencer Tracy and Alan Alda.)
