How tall is Alan Ruck

Sandy Cowell said on 29/Apr/23
I wouldn’t want to make a typographical error with Alan’s surname!

5ft11.5 peak and 5ft10.5 now. 😁

msmith04 said on 13/Oct/22
Rob can u give him 5’11.25 peak? I think that’s more reasonable. And bout 5’9.75-10.5 now

lucas d said on 9/Jul/22
Rob who you think was strong 5’11” Brad Pitt or Alan ruck (Peak)
My money is on Alan Ruck. Back in the 90s

But Alan shrunk, nd now about 5’9.5-5’10. And Brad in my eyes was never 5’11. 5’10-10.5 at most

kazi said on 10/Apr/22
in peak when he was like in his 30s solid 6' now in his mid 60s 5-9.75

Andrea said on 25/Mar/22
Actually I'd have said he could look under 5'10 a lot on the show, like even barely over 5'9 at times... Do you think it's possible he's more of a weak 5'10 today, Rob? And... are you sure he really was 5'11 at peak?? Considering that he was only about 58 at the time of the photo (where he doesn't look over 5'10), I certainly have a hard time believing he had already lost an inch. On the other hand, it is quite conceivable that he has lost a bit from then...
Btw, do you confirm that he was already interested in politics when you met him? 😛

Duhon said on 22/Mar/22
Looks 6' on Succession but as noted the cast is on the shorter side.

ViperPilot said on 25/Oct/21
Can give him 5’ 10.5” currently.

And he seems taller than that on Succession… probably because most of the rest of the cast is short.

Tall Sam said on 21/Oct/21
Something about his facial structure implies a taller man than he is, looks a pretty solid 5’11” IMO.

berta said on 21/Oct/21
i dont understand how the average guess is almost 182 when people think brad pitt could be 179? I mean brad had close to 3 cm on this guy in war machine. I personally think brad is 180,5 cm and that leaves this guy at 177,5 but lets say 178. He may have lost a little height but i doubt a full inch. My guess is 179,5 peak and 178 now.

Shayz said on 21/Mar/21
Looks 2.5 taller than Rob so must be closer to 5.11 than 5.10

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Mar/21
He could pass for the fifth Baldwin brother!

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 8/Mar/21
Nicholas Braun make Alan Ruck look 5'9 1/2 not more despite Rob have met a current height Alan.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Jan/21
Broderick made him look taller

Genau said on 5/Dec/20
5ft11.5 peak now 5ft10.75

berta said on 3/Dec/20
hm if he was 180 cm in 2014 how can he have shrunk to 178 in just 6 years? i dont believe it.

Slim 6'1" said on 24/Nov/20
181 peak

Nik said on 17/Jun/20
I can see why the average guess is high!

Andrea said on 24/Mar/19
As I said, Christian, you're free to believe so, but fact is that Alan doesn't look a mm taller than the nearly 177 girl with Rob. Whether he has better or worse posture is another story, and I'm not discussing that. In fact, if that was the case, I could even say that the difference is no more than 1 inch because Rob is dropping about 0.5 inch more height than him in posture (which is not that clear at times)...

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 23/Mar/19
@Andrea
1/4" is so small of a difference, that many people won't be able to spot the difference at first glance. But if you look closely for a while, you can tell that Alan is a tiny bit taller than the woman. 1/4" can easily be negated by postural and/or footwear differences, so I can understand how some people like you would believe that there's no more than 1.5", and some people like me believe there's 1.75", although I believe that the latter's more accurate.

Editor Rob said on 20/Mar/19
One thing is certain - Ruck was smaller than Brad Pitt in War Machine... Click Here

Andrea said on 19/Mar/19
Not really, Christian: Click Here But well, just like Bobby is entitled to believe this is a 3 inches difference, you're certainly entitled to believe so... :-)

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 17/Mar/19
@Andrea
Well, we're gonna have to agree to disagree. I see Alan being a tiny hair (like 1/4") taller than the nearly 177 woman, although it's not by a big amount obviously. But no need to have another long heated argument over this type of stuff, despite you trying to provoke me.

Canson said on 12/Mar/19
Thank you Rob for having and providing some sense

Andrea said on 11/Mar/19
Actually, he doesn't look any taller than the challenger girl, who, considering the heels and the old stadiometer error, was slightly under 177 (176.8-176.9) at the moment of the photo: Click Here

Canson said on 11/Mar/19
@Bobby: that’s definitely not 3” difference there. His hair may give the illusion he’s that much taller than Rob but going to the top of both heads it’s not. Throw in the footwear advantage and it takes us closer to what he’s listed here. Definitely not 3” tho

Andrea said on 9/Mar/19
No, there's not, Christian. And of course I'm not including (and I never include) Rob's hair, to gauge the height difference(s). Rob, maybe a height chart can help our friend Christian to clear his head? 😊

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 9/Mar/19
@Andrea
There's a 1.75" difference in the pic worst case, but not 1.5". You have to consider the fact that Rob has slightly thick hair, so some of his hair doesn't count. Alan can look 5'10.25" worst case but not shorter than that.

Andrea said on 7/Mar/19
Actually, you're wrong too, Christian. He does look about (and no more than) 1.5 inch taller than Rob in the photo above. Add 0.4 inch for less footwear, and he basically comes in at just about 5'10 flat here, all things considered.

Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 6/Mar/19
Charlie and Bobby are both wrong. Not 1 inch but not 3 inches either. Looks 2 but with footwear differences, it's more 2 3/8" so Junior's right. He's about 5'10.5" as listed.

Bobby 5'10 said on 19/Nov/18
@Charlie Evans

What? He doesn't look as short as 5'9. He visually looks around 3 inches taller than Rob.

Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 8/May/18
Look 5'10 1/8 with Rob. But Rob mention he have 0.4-0.5" more shoes so 5'10.5" was right.

Charlie Evans said on 17/Jan/18
correction on my previous comment. I stated that he looked 1.5 inches taller. I zoomed again. I used a ruler and calculated from the top of the head to the middle of the eye that's the center. I got 1.25 inches taller than Rob. But then Rob looks like he is slouched a little and his head is leaned a bit forward. Rob totally looks relaxed where Alan is standing straight like a Soldier. This would give Alan a half inch advantage. Alan is standing straight stiff as a nail. His neck is straight too. Many in the comment section will argue with what i'm about to say but here goes. Because Rob's body looks relaxed and slouched a little where Alan is standing as tall as he can.It almost appears Alan is deliberately enhancing his height. His posture is perfectly straight and his chest looks like its breathed in giving him some extra height. All this said i am going to say Alan is 5'8.75 but i'll round his height to 5'9" tops.

Slim 185 said on 13/Nov/17
5’10.5” today, 5’11.25” in youth, he looked tallish/upper average in “Ferris Buellers day off”.

Ben said on 6/Sep/17
He looks close to 5'11" in this photo

6 footer said on 22/Jan/17
He's at least 6ft he is the same size as geena Davis

Anon said on 24/Oct/16
Looks barely over 5-9

Sam said on 19/Oct/16
He looks just over 5'10 here but could give a 5'11-6'0 impression on film during his peak.

berta said on 14/Oct/16
he looks to be 178 in the photo but i get a feeling that he is a guy that is taller than you think when he is measured. 179,5 these days and a little over 180 when young maybe 181

That guy said on 18/Apr/16
looks 5'10 flat nowadays

Crypto139 said on 21/Mar/16
To be honest I know quite a few guys in the low 180 cm range with his exact proportions. Long neck, low shoulders, normal to smallish head, skinny. I have no idea why but it is really common to me.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Jan/16
He had about 3in Broderick who was never quite 5ft8

Fire Vixen said on 10/Jun/15
Wow,I really thought he was apx 6 foot, shocked to read 5'10.5 ,amazing, shows how deceptive the tv screen can be!

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 4/Apr/15
Wathcing FBDO, I thought he was close to 6ft

Crypto139 said on 1/Apr/15
I see 5 feet 10.25

CDS said on 23/Feb/15
This guy is an interesting case- he looks on screen, with his shape and build, like a tall-ish dude- like a legit 6 footer, however, you can easily tell, just by comparing him to others, that he is more average height. Like in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", he really doesn't look all that much taller than 5'8" Matthew Broderick. And that photo with 5'8" Rob really says it all. I'll have to say 5'10"-5'10 1/2"(peak)-?? (Rob, I assume you're 5'8" barefoot?)

jtm said on 19/Feb/15
i remember the days when most people here thought he was a legit 6'0.

The Exorcist said on 18/Feb/15
He could probably pass for a (English) country gent in the photo with Rob. All he needs are a pair of wellies and he wouldn't look out of place on the set of Emmerdale. lol

TJE said on 17/Feb/15
5'10.75 peak
5'10.25 now

Judd said on 16/Feb/15
Good listing, rob! He looks 5'10" with you, but considering you have 0,5" shoes advantage, 5'10.5" is likely!

alex said on 16/Feb/15
I'm sorry I meant a legit 5'11, can you please edit it rob?

alex said on 15/Feb/15
5'11 i meant

alex said on 15/Feb/15
This is a near perfect claim, he looked a legit 5'10 in the eighties.

Alex 6'0 said on 15/Feb/15
Looks a good inch to maybe 1.5 taller than Rob here not counting the .5 footwear advantage. You take that away I see a legit 5'10 guy

kaplaaa said on 14/Feb/15
In contrast to most of the comments on this page, I actually think he looks a solid 5"11/180cm when considering the height advantage.

the shredder said on 14/Feb/15
Rob this guy looks under 5'10 , I know you have .5 footwear over him , but he still does not look 5'10.5 , I say only if he has poor posture. I give him 5'10 .

The Exorcist said on 14/Feb/15
Looks a weak 5'10".

the shredder said on 13/Feb/15
Even with the .4 , .5 over him I only see 5'9.5 here

Hypado said on 13/Feb/15
Yes, Alan Ruck, 180 cm and now, 179 cm.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is forever.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Feb/15
pffft...looks about 5ft9. Can't believe I thought this guy was 6ft

Jeff said on 13/Feb/15
In the 80's he did look a solid 5'11"

Arch Stanton said on 8/Nov/14
His neck and head alone are probably 5 ft :-) His neck and head proportions are really unusual.

bodwaya said on 1/Aug/12
in spin city he was 1 inch shorter then 6 foot boatman 5 foot 11 is right

ali said on 10/Dec/11
he look flat 6 ft

george555 said on 21/Aug/11
He looks at least 5'11''-I'd say he was 6'0'' max.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Jul/11
Looks 6ft0.25(184cm) with the hair

Legend said on 25/Jun/11
He gets most of his height from his head. If his head was normal he would be 5'10.

-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ said on 22/Feb/09
He's quite slim which makes him look taller. But I think he could be 6ft. He did look a lot taller than Matthew Broderick in Ferris Bueller.

Gene Frisco said on 18/Feb/09
His long,narrow head and face makes him seem a little taller than he realy is, I have noticed that long faced people seem or are thought of as taller then their acctual height. Alan does look 5'11.5 or even up to 5'11.75 , I too thought he was a bit taller.

jesse said on 7/Jan/09
yea i though he was more like 6-1 but he does got short co stars in fbdo

TNTinCA said on 7/Jan/09
Interesting. For some reason, I had alwas pegged him as closer to 6'2". Probably due to the fact that I remember him best from Ferris Bueller where his co-stars were quite short.

Anonymous said on 18/Nov/08
i met him
strong 6'0"
possibly a weak 6'1"
he's slouching here

Daii said on 29/Oct/08
He has always appeared taller than the above height, probably as he has a long head but he does look either 6'0 or slightly shorter

Big T said on 21/Sep/08
I really think Ruck is 6 foot or more, in the movie "Class" he looks only a little shorter than John Cusack and they both look very tall

He looks like hes been working out.Look at his arm.lol

runt said on 9/Jul/08
He's pretty young. I don't think there's been any shrinkage from a 'peak height'.

Gary said on 27/Feb/08
This is the same height diffence as me and my dad and my dad is 6.0 and im 6/3 and a half so this guy is 5.11 1/2

nate said on 3/Jan/08
his peak height was probably 6 ft though

Jacka G said on 3/Jan/08
Pretty dead on here, i walked by him a couple or years back, I am exactly 6', not 5'11.5, not 6'0.5" and I had about a half inch on him. I love people that are my hight or even a little shorter and state they are 6'1" ,6'1.5", or even 6'2"/ Stop living a lie !!!! What is the big Fu_ckin deal - get a life people!!!

D-lurker said on 27/Dec/07
I bet the suit works as an ice breaker for the celebrities..honestly, not that it should be an Issue..

seeing alan as 1.82, barry bostwick (co star in spin city) must be real tall.!

nick said on 26/Dec/07
can be 6ft, 5'11.5 looks good

derbi said on 26/Dec/07
mamun, why are you always wearing this superman stuff?
