His Height


Is listed as 6' here but this is wrong. He is shorter than Willis in Pulp Fiction and has claimed he is 5 ft 10.5 in. He's listed as this on www.celebheights.com- a reliable source.

IMDb is notorious for having the wong heights and dates of birth.

He's in a picture with Jamie Bamber and the rest of the cast from his new series "Monday Mornings" he's standing next to Jamie Bamber who I stood next to at Heathrow airport on a business flight and he's short probably 5'8 1/2" to 5'9".

He and Ving Rhames are standing next to each other in the picture and they look around the same height maybe a 1/2 inch between the the two men. - Monday Mornings cast picture - http://bit.ly/13YaX9a

I seem to recall when he was on "ER" as Eric La Salle's character's brother in-law he was clearly much shorter than Mr. La Salle.

Of all the times that I've seen him in movies he's a decent sized guy but not huge by any means height wise. He's a bulky guy but height I would say that 6'0" is just about right.

He's like Mike Tyson who I met when he and I were much younger, he was just starting to get a name for himself professionally and I was surprised at how short he was at around 5'9" for some reason I thought he was around 6'0.

As other have stated about other actors, they will cast other actors around the same height and if the actor is the lead they cast actors around the leads. Tom Cruise isn't very tall but they rarely cast other actors in films with him that are taller than Cruise, they're either his height or shorter.

When I was a kid they use to call guys like Ving Rhaymes husky they were big and short.

Ving Rhames has a good 6 inches or more on Cruise. Personally I think Cruise tends to stand on a lot of boxes when filming scenes with other actors. He's only 5-4 or 5-5.
