you have two choices I believe:

1. Use interpolate on the size of x and y on the actor to shrink the one image

or

2. You will need to use the same size images in the animation but your character shrinks within that image (ie: you will have a lot of transparent space. Animation does not change the size of the primary actor so if the first one is 100x100 and then you drop in an animation character of 80x80 it will stretch out to 100x100. You need the second, third etc image in the animation to still be 100x100 but more and more of those images will be transparent even though the visable part is smaller.

change size grows your actor or shrinks (negative values) without much control, Interpolate gives you control over ending size and duration.

Weswog did a video on changing the alpha (transparency) of an actor and you do the same for size. If you follow his steps when he clicks to set the alpha you will also see Size and if you click that you see width and height as a choice. You will need to set two interpolates one for width and one for height.
