If Napoleon never had a chance at respect for his height, then I don't blame actors for lying about it to get past directors who hide behind "artistic license" to cover their bias against short men. True directors cast actors because--they can act. Not because of their shoe size. A good director can find cinematic styles to adjust for any height differences, such as in Tom Cruise's movies. You never notice his height difference, because the way he is filmed minimizes that difference in his movies.
Fortunately for him, that's most likely due to his personal requirements of any director, which is opposite to every other actors relationship with a director.
While Cruise can obviously demand such things, no one else can just tell the director "I'm short, suck it up and do your job".
As far as height in general, it's all relative. There are enough good actors out there to compliment anyone's height. A good director casts for the quality of the acting, then finds people who's heights correspond to each other appropriately for the story line.
Cinematic backgrounds can be adjusted, especially for a movie like GotG where most of the background is going to CGI. Scaling can be done to emphasize any comparable heights you could dream of, so having "truly huge actors" is not a real excuse. Height parity or disparity can be shown between anyone of any height. A 5' actress standing next to a 5'9" actor would look the same on camera as a 5'9" actress next to a 6'5" actor, and that's without compromising the shot. You don't even need such drastic differences in height if you can use your camera properly.

You can be sure that Tim Robbins has been used to always being the tallest man in the room, ever since he started pursuing a career in acting at age 12 and his days with the Theater for the New City.

With certain camera tricks and elevator shoes , characters can be made to look significantly taller or shorter than they are.
