The Welsh Theatre Company did a production a few years back with Wayne Cater, who was the shortest, tubbiest Hamlet you ever did see, and he was great.

When Shakespeare calls falstaff fat, we all think he means tubby, so why shouldn't he mean the same of Hamlet? Allegedly Burbage was on the porky side, too.
