Seemed 6ft ½ or 6ft ¾ peak. Probably the former. Strong listing.

184 cm is perfect for him. Saw Edward Scissorhands again (a favourite film of mine; ensorcelling) and he appeared around 6ft 0.5. Was often wearing big boots/solid sneakers too. Iconic actor. Would you agree he looked around 1.84 in that flick, Rob?

It's silly that Hollywood made Hall appear over 6'3" in Edward Scissorhands. 5'11" and most have figured it out.

If you watch psych he is consistently over an inch shorter than Timothy Omundson who is 6’0”. He also doesn’t look that tall either just by himself. My guess is 5’10 3/4”

I never would have thought 6’1” for this guy. I wonder how tall his Dead Zone co-star Chris Bruno might be? In all the bellow pictures AMH appears just a bit taller than Bruno while wearing flat converse shoes. Meanwhile Bruno is wearing police like boots which i wear and know for a fact elevate your height at least 1.5” to your normal height.

Does anyone have a guess for Bruno?

This seems way off. He looks 3/4-1inch shorter than 6’0” Timothy Omundson in Pysch. There’s not way he’s much over 5’11” maybe 5’11 1/4”.

Looked eye to eye with 6'1" Judge Reinhold in an episode of Dead Zone. 1984-1985 must have been his biggest growth spurt period. There's a big difference in his height between Breakfast Club and Weird Science which were made within the same year, looked to grow from 5'9.5" to the 6ft mark. By 1988 in Johnny Be Good he looked an inch taller than 6ft Paul Gleason and 2 inches taller than 5'11" Uma Thurman … any guess under 6ft just doesn't add up. Here he is with 5'11" Uma Thurman Click Here

I thought he looked about 2 or 3 inches shorter than 6'2" will smith in, 6 degrees of separation. Id say he's between 5'11" and 6'2". The 6'2" Google listings are ridiculous!

In dead zone he did not come across as being short. He seemed at minimum 6'1".....next thing you know someone is going to say he is 5'9".....6'minimum height...no less...not a short actor.

Well if Anthony was like 15 during the filming for the breakfast club and he was 5’9.... that’s two inches above the average height for a 15 year old so I’d say about 5’11” or a week 6’0”

in a recent photo he stood 2 inches taller than Judd Nelson and Judd is around 5 ft 6 inches. Judd was 2 inches taller than 5 ft 4.5 Emilio Estevez in the Breakfast Club and he had boots on too. I would put Anthony Michael Hall anywhere between 5 ft 8 to 5 ft 9 going by the recent photos i see of him and Judd.

Listed on Google at 6'2. No way he is close to that unless it's morning height with boots on. I think he is between 5'11 and 6'.

I'd give give him a solid six foot flat. He has a long forehead that gives him a bit of height, but he was a good inch or two less than will smith who is about six foot one though he is always listed six foot two or three. As far as the breakfast club height he was only fifteen when they filmed that in the summer of 84.

Saw him at a convention in New Jersey a few years ago (maybe 2012, after a web search). I'm 6'2.5" or so - I had a few inches on him when I walked right by him in a hallway. He's 5'11- 6' - no more.

Really hard to tell in that clip Ravi cause you can't see their footwear .... but if they're wearing trainers / sports shoes then I'd say he was touching 6ft which would be about right cause the credit says 1985, he would have been 17 and around the time of Weird Science where he looks that height. Not quite his finished height though cause he was taller in Johnny Be Good and Edward Scissorhands

I agree with a lot you say there Ravi ...although as far as The Breakfast Club goes, its release was Feb 1985, so it would have been filmed in 1984 possibly around the same time as it was set which was March 1984 ...AMH would have been turning 16 at this time so it is possible he was still 15 in rehearsals. I'm not sure he looked anywhere near 6'1" at any point in the film but maybe near 6ft by Weird Science which was made more when he was turning 17, then 6'1" by the time he was 20 in Johnny Be Good ...maybe even a little bit more 2 years later in Edward Scissorhands but his larger/athletic build by that time might have given the impression of being even taller... but yes certainly did a lot of growing between 16 and 20.

Yep, Anthony Michael hall had a lot of growth spurts
in 1983, national lampoons vacation he was getting aloooooot of height. he was around 5'3'' and then by the end of the film he grew to 5'6
in 1985 judd nelson who was bender, 5.9.5 said
Nelson has stated that Hall was in a rapid growth spurt during the course of the film, saying that he was two inches taller than Hall at auditions, half an inch taller during rehearsals, and by the end of the shoot, Hall was taller than him.(hall was 17 during this), so he went from 5'7.5 to taller than judd, to a final 6'1.
look how different he looks from weird science/ breakfast club/ sixteen candles to 4 years later in Edward scissorhands. some major growing right there.

Sorry Rampage, that's impossible. He is an inch shorter than Timothy Omundson on Psych, and I think he is 6ft1.5-6ft1.75,/187cm range. Rob could this guy be closer to 184cm? Unless Omundson is actually 6'2.

He does look 6ft2 at times.
186-187cm is closer than 185cm, IMO.
"Anthony Michael Hall's height is 6ft 1.5in (187cm)"
But 6ft1.25 is equally acceptable.

He was a late bloomer. I think he'd measure somewhere between 6ft1-6ft2, possibly closer to the latter. Rob, do you think an upgrade to 187cm is possible?

I've seen Breakfast Club hundreds of times, the only reference to his height was when Ally Sheedy's character quotes from his drivers license 'five nine and a half, 130 pounds' ... now here's a theory, that film was released very early in 1985 so it should have been filmed in 1984 any time from when AMH turned 16 and was obviously still growing fast. Weird Science was released in 1985 but much later, so he was probably nearer to 17, in fact you can see at the end of the film he's around the same height or taller than 5'11 Bill Paxton. Johnny Be Good would have been filmed when he was 19, you now see him a little taller than 184cm Paul Gleason. Edward Scissorhands would have been filmed when he was 21 and by now he's reached his full height of 186/187cm.

It could have been someone else who asked him, but he did answer with 5'10. I guarantee it. I've watched the movie many times and Bender never asks how tall Brian is. In fact height is never discussed in the movie... I actually think AMH was 5'10.5 / 5'11 in Breakfast club because he was always an inch taller than Bender... His license said 5'9.5" in the movie.

Yeah I agree Patrick...I think what makes people believe he's not as tall as that is that he kept growing to an unusually late age, I think from Edward Scissorhands onwards he's been at his full height of 6ft 1 or even 6 ft 2

He looked so tall next to Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands and she is only 5'4. I do think 6'1 -6'2 is correct because she looked like a hobbit compared to him in that movie.

FYI...coooorection. According to the NFL--Jim is listed at 6 feet. So that would make AMH --not so tall. He was 20 years of age in the movie johnny be good. Playing a Texas football player, and always wearing those boots. Cheers if he is 6'2", but I doubt it. I woulsd like to see a new pic of him next to Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, or Hugh Jackman...

In the Breakfast club movie, Ally Sheedy's character(can't remember the name), Ally says that Anthony's height is 5'9.5"
Most DMV's do not print .5" heights and they make you round to the nearest. So in Anthony's case, they'd make him round to 5'10".

Yes, I agree, although the point that I'm making is that Editor Rob has him listed here as 6'1"...surely he should change this to 6'2" given all the pictures and evidence below?
After all..this is a site for listing celeb's heights as accurately as possible.
What do you think Rob?

I saw him in Boston a few months ago. I'd say looked around 6'2-6'2.5/.

Well... truth is that Hall was only 15 coming on 16 when making Breakfast club in early 1984 (released in early 1985) and doesn't look much taller than 5'9.5". Look at him in Weird Science made in 1985, a year later when he was 17, he's suddenly pushing 6 foot. I've read that he had a late puberty... he looks about 6'2" and beefed up ever since Edward Scissorhands.

Patrick, scroll down to my message on 14th Feb... there's 3 links that say 'click here' in blue. Anthony's partner Sandra Guerard (5'10")has heels on making her around 6ft - 6'1". He's a big guy.

Rob, take a look at those pictures I posted here on Feb 14th. Do you think you should still be listing him as 6'1"? I think more signs point towards Anthony being 6'2".

As for me, he is 6'2 but i have no proof.
i'd just add that David Ogden Stiers (rev. Gene Purdy) is known for being very tall (6'4) and he NEVER towers over A. Michael; just taller; he's 6'2.

Thanks Footballed28....with every other listing of Anthony's height being 6'2"...and going on those photos, I don't think he's above 6'2"..but I'm starting to think that he's not below. Also, I've just seen an episode of Dead Zone and he's much taller than Chris Bruno (Sheriff Walt) who's listed as 6'0" on a couple of sites, and Sean Patrick Flanery who's 5'11". What do you think Rob...should you not have kept him listed at 6'2" looking at the photos I gave?

AD looking at the pictures you provided I am starting to think either Hall is taller than 6'2 or Guerard is really only about 5'8

Ok...Rob says above that Michael's partner Sandra Guerard is 5'10". Take a look at pictures of them together. In all pictures that I can see, she's quite obviously wearing heels making her 6'-6'1". Have a look at this picture just as an example... the idea that he's as tall as 6'1" - 6'2" ain't that crazy!

hey Rob I never said he wasnt 6'+...heck he could very well be a solid 6 footer...but never 6'2...he just doesnt have the frame for it...as for Bill Gates, I peg him 5'9 1/2 any day...he is not a solid 5'10

footballed28, I'm not understanding your logic. Just because the person an actor is playing is shorter or taller, doesn't mean they can't accurately portray the real life person. 6'3'' Hugh played wolverine whose 5'3'' in the comics. Nick Stahl whose averaged height portrayed a real life person who was 6'3'' and Persian in Bully. Re-watch pirates of silicon valley, he's slouching throughout the entire movie but compare him to Noah and you'll see he's his height even slouching. Anthony is 6 feet flat minimum.

I'd agree that he's not 6'2" barefoot... here's 2 photos of 5'5" Ally Sheedy wearing 3" heels (making her 5'8") next to Anthony Michael Hall wearing flat trainers. Taking into account a little slouching, he's about 6 inches taller than her in the pic which I guess will make him around the 6'1" mark barefoot. In the Dead Zone, he always looks one of the tallest of the cast.

did any of you watch that movie where he played Bill Gates (who is 5'9 - 5'10)...he sure didnt look tall there...maybe average..I doubt a legit 6'2 guy could play Gate's 5'10 (doubtful) frame.

His license in The Breakfast Club was actually said to be 5'9 1/2 and 130 lbs ! well to me he really did look a legit 5'9.5 in Weird Science for sure when he stood next to Ilan Mitchell-Smith (whos license in Weird Science is listed as * doubtful * 5'8 ! ) and Bill Paxton who I really think is closer to 6'0 and was barefoot half the movie ! I do think Anthony Michael Hall did grow some after that , but I do doubt he grew to 6'2 ? from Edward Scissorhands and on I personally put him as soild 6'0 ! ... P.S. ... Robert Downy Jr really did look pretty short in Weird Science !

I dont know...he never appeared tall to me....I always compare his height with other actors in various movies in the past 10 yrs and he just never seemed 6'2 to me...6' would be a more accurate listing...tho he did look big/tall in Ed Sciss and Johnny be Good (or at least taller than the almost 6' Thurman)

In that picture with Robert Downey Jr, you can't accurately tell heights. This could be to do with slouching, sloping pavement etc. If you watch ANY film with Anthony Michael Hall made after he was 18, he's very obviously above 6'....trouble is, people always remember him more for his films from his childhood / early adolescence when he was not just smaller in height, but a lot smaller in physique.

He's the typical "old-new" series leading man. He HAS to be tall. Main characters are always tall, or seems to be. Maybe he's 6', but it's unlikely...
Got to agree with ya, Rob!

He was definately taller in 'Weird Science' than he was in 'The Breakfast Club' which was made earlier the same year. Near the end of the film he's stood next to Bill Paxton (5'11") and looks taller than him. Then by 1990 in 'Upworld' he looks around the same as 6'2" Jerry Orbach. His radical change in physique also made him seem a lot bigger by the time he was in Edward Scissorhands'. Watch him in 'Dead Zone'...he's definately around 6'1" - 6'2".

Anthony Michael Hall was just 16 when he made Breakfast Club (quoted as 5ft 9.5) but had a late puberty, and by the time he was in Edward Scissorhands you see him towering over the rest of the cast and bulked up considerably! If you see him in Dead Zone next to others you can well believe him to be as tall as 6ft 2.

I'm the same extra that made that height list on Vin Diesel's listing, and I just remember I left this guy out. So I'll post his height now.
Anthony Michael Hall- about 6 ft or 6 ft 1. I originally thought this guy was going to be around my height because I expected him to be the same height he was in Breakfast Club. He definately has grown since Breakfast Club, but not quite 6 ft 2.
