Andrew Scott's Height
5ft 8 (172.7 cm)
Irish actor best known for roles in films The Stag, Dead Bodies, Nora, Spectre and Victor Frankenstein. On TV he has a memorable Moriarty in the BBC show Sherlock. In this convention photo we had pretty similar (0.6-0.7in) footwear. Andrew officially claimed to be 5 feet 9½ inches tall.

He's always looked like a weak 5'8 guy to me. Would have guessed him 5'7 1/2 in Sherlock. This listing is the most he looks.

@Sree, with the Tom Hardy comparisons, Hardy was taller than Scott however, Scott's footwear only seemed to be about 0.8, 0.9-inches thick whereas Hardy's footwear looked at least 1.3-inches, thus a ~0.5-inches footwear difference.
I suspect, Hardy like Rob would actually have ~0.75-inches on Scott. Hardy would be similar in height to Rob, perhaps 0.25-inches taller.

Editor RobIf he was 5ft 7.5 then he'd be a 2 inch inflator...I feel he ain't much shorter than myself up close.

As it is now, Rob has about ~2/5-inch on him, than take away shoe advantage and you're looking at a solid inch of difference between Rob and Andrew, with Rob obviously being the taller guy.

Hi Rob, I appreciate that you gave Ne-Yo downgrade to 5'7.75" and thank you for that. I think Andrew is another candidate to be on the list 172 cm. Please, Rob, look at him with Christoph Waltz: http: //tinyurl.com/ycvy2x7e
The difference of up to 3/4 inches is simply impossible, considering that Scott has an advantage of hair over Waltz. Rob, you can also look at him from Gatiss: Click Here
Between Scott and Gatiss the difference always looks very large. Andrew's hair can often deceive us and make he look taller. Rob, will you give Scott downgrade a quarter inch and upgrade for Gatiss by 1/8 of an inch?

It is pretty obvious that Rob could stand taller in that photo and even without the posture correction, there is nearly 0.5-inches difference there.

Editor Rob I don't think Andrew was much smaller than myself in person...although 172cm is rather possible for him.

I don't understand why several actors claim a precise fake height - in this case 5ft 9 and half. If you want to round up your height you should say only 5ft 9! Why just 5ft 9 and half?

Agree with 172.4cm guy. Andrew looks pretty much exactly 172.4 here. Rob appears to be leaning slightly too.
He's closer to 5'8" than 5'7.75" so this listing is fair. It would be unfair to round him down.

Big Rob, he is clearly 1 cm shorter than you. Look at your eyelevel compared to his , and even more foolproof look at the top of your head compared to his.My guess for him is 172 cm (5'7.75").Same height as giant Jenny.

Editor Rob Andrew is about 1.5 inches taller in person than someone like Big G, so yeah about 5ft 7.75 vs 5ft 6.25 is probably fair!

I just saw Spectre over the weekend, and I immediately thought...that actor (Andrew Scott) is my height! Lo' and behold Rob has a pic with him, and he measures up just as closely as I would probably stand next to Rob. He looks like a weak 5'8" guy, probably 172cm, but 5-8 looks ok.

@Rob,
Again, what do you make of the picture of him with Russell Tovey? It's not even supposed to be a two full inches between the two, but Andrew is towered in that shot.

Editor Rob MD, it looks a bit like Tovey's head is closer, which might be adding an inch to his height. I would say Scott at worst was a little fraction under 5ft 8, he really didn't feel much smaller.

Rob, why is it that most celebrities who stood with you looked a quarter inch shorter than you listed them? Either you're 5ft8.25, or you precieve people as a quarter inch taller than they actually are. I don't know, but that's just my feeling.

Editor Rob well I am basing height off being a solid 173cm myself.
Scott isn't really far off my height from seeing him...I felt he would be a guy who measured similar to Jenny, just about 5ft 8, hence 5ft 8 is ok for him.

He looked a solid 3 inches shorter than Daniel Craig in Spectre when they stood next to each other, and 180cm Ralph Fienes made him look 5'6. I think this guy is no taller than 170cm, in Spectre it looks that clear.

Rob, I think you're ever-so-slightly taller than him. Not by enough to be noticeable a first blush, but enough where if you look closely you can see it.
