Ben McKenzie's Height
5ft 8 (172.7 cm)
American actor best known for playing Ryan Atwood on tv series The O.C., Jim Gordon on Gotham and Officer Ben Sherman in Southland. He told Elle magazine that "I'd like to be taller and tanner. I'm 5'9", but I'd like to be six feet tall. It's the perfect height. Maybe occasionally you'd be uncomfortable on a coach flight".

I mean, you would rule out Ben wearing elevator shoes or something, right? I'm no expert, but to me they don't seem anything suspicious, just maybe on the thicker side. Of course, as you always say, there's always a chance anyone could be wearing a smaller lift inside the shoe without it being detectable, but I suppose it's never anything huge anyway...
As for the guy, to be fair to him, he does seem quite reasonable from what I've seen, not the kind that bulls*its around, but his claim really looks unbuyable, yeah!

Editor RobIn that situation I think it's unlikely he's wearing anything suspicious, though as we've seen over the years, some people can end up looking taller or shorter quite significantly in photos and it turns out the angle/posture might be the culprit.

Rob, how tall do you think this guy with Ben is? Click Here
I know he's claimed 176 and 177 and when getting called out in the comments of the photo he even says that he was measured at 177 by the doctor last week! One thing I've noticed is that he doesn't stand well at times and even here he could well be losing more height, but considering the footwear and everything else, do you agree that anywhere near 177 is virtually impossible to say the least (my first thought from looking at the photo would be more like "are you fuc*ing kidding me?")??

They wear similar footwear and they are exactly the same height. She's supposed to be 5'7" back then, so I can't see how Ben could be 5'8". He's 5'7" tops.

Well, in that pic with Morena, he’s wearing about a 38-40S jacket and in the photo by himself, he’s wearing a 38-40R jacket. I’m 5’-71/2” flat footed and I can tell you, I look the same in those different jackets. I can say he’s definitely 5”-7” to 5’-8”

He's definitely not over 5ft 8, but does a good job of appearing taller at times, with the help of his posture and big boots. My reckoning is 5ft 7.75

He'd be shorter than David mazouz now. Looked around the 5'8 mark throughout Gotham, probably has a higher chance of landing on a strong 5'8 as opposed to a weak one, compared to robin taylor.

Don't think he is quite the full 5'9" what he had claimed himself since he looks shorter than 175cm Mischa Barton in many photos and Adam Brody who is around 178-179cm looks like 6cm taller than McKenzie. 173cm is pretty close but probably more like 172cm. Also McKenzie seems to vary in height and his footwear from time to time looks suspicious.

Once I thought he was taller, but looking at him more carefully he's probably around the 173 cm zone.

Ok, so I keep watching Ben and Michael Chiklis, a 5-7 guy, interact in Gotham. Ben is normally taller by Michael, by about 1-2inches, so I was starting to think 5-8 for Ben was a fair listing. However, things seemed off...he just has a smaller build than Michael, and given his body proportions, his legs would need to be disproportionately longer than the rest of his body, which I remmeber was never the case. So, I found this picture of Ben and Michael doing a press event. Even though Ben's head is tilted downwward, it is evident Michael has some height on him. Michael's footwear might be giving him a boost, the same footwear boost Ben gets on Michael in the show, but I think there is strong evidence Ben is a max 5-7 guy! Click Here

After watching Gotham for the whole season, I can't get over the camera tricks and angles that are done to make Ben look taller, especially when he's standing next to Donal. Based on this excellent photograph of comparative heights for the cast of Gotham, it's evident that Ben just edges out Robin Lord Taylor, a 168cm guy, in similar footwear. Based on this, I think Ben is 170-171cm tops. Click Here

5'6.5" is too short, but he's definitely closer to 5'7" than 5'8". It seems to me that is also a case of a lift wearer as he pretty routinely looks different heights. I notice that when he's around 5'6" Robin Lord Taylor who is often in flat shoes he wears heeled shoes to look a good two inches taller. He also does the trick of putting his arm around him in such a way as to pull himself up. Robin Lord Taylor seems far less concious about his height often not even standing up to his full height whereas Ben is nearly on toes in these pictures.

I could buy 171cm for Ben, but not 173cm. He wears boots/lifts in most of his roles, and the shoes he wears in Gotham make him look about 175cm. But given the photos, his build, and short appendages, I think he is closer to 5'7". With that said, he is a very good, solid actor.

Really? I thought he looked like a strong 5'7/weak 5'8 kinda guy. 5'7.5-75 range would be my best guess.

Looks 5'8.5" on Gotham, unless he's wearing lifts. Don't think he wears boots in it.

Do you think Colton Haynes is wearing lifts next to him in the first of these images? And why do you think Ben look so much shorter next to Stephen Amell in the second compared to the first?

Editor Rob I think in that photo maybe a little camera and footwear disadvantage for Ben, yeah on Gotham he can look a decent 5ft 8 range.

he is 5'7.5, slightly taller than ellen degeneres. He always wore boots in the OC, which probably lifted him up to 5'9, slightly shorter thant 5'9.5 adam brody, you can see this on the show, that the difference between is slight, no way adam brody is 5'11, for that to happen, mckenzied would have had to wear almost 4 inch lifts

I think realistically this guy is no more than 5'7, but I think he does well to disguise it, with his posture, build and of course his shoes. I'm 5'8.5, but my slim/toned build and good posture, along with shoes which give me an invisible 2 inch lift, can make me look at least 5'10 and even pusing 5'11 ;)

He's definitely max 5'7, and that's on a good day. He lies about his height and wears lifts, giving a distorted view of how tall he really is.

if ben mckenzie is really 5 8, then how is he still shorter(an inch maybe) than 5 9 barton when shes in flats and hes in those monster boots? this is visible in plenty of scenes where theyre standing side by side/face to face.. i just find it extremely hard to believe hes a full 5 8

He's 5'7.5 or 5'8" at the tallest. The reason he looks so short is, because of his proportions and his build. He has the body proportions of a short man in the 5'7-5'7 1/2" range.Click Here

Hello,I found a good scene to judge he's height, check out episode #10 of the O.C.'s first season, "the perfect couple" there is a scene where Mischa is wearing 1/2" sandals and Ben is not wearing shoes, if Mischa is 5'9" Ben can easily be 5'9" or at the very least 5'8.5"

I think he's 5'7.5". It was almost laughable picking up on the crew's effort to create the illusion that he was taller than Mischa on the O.C. She was always in flats (even her boots were flat-healed), standing a few inches farther back, and hunching over. Oh well, he's still got a well-muscled physique to work with ;)

k, im sorry. but no. i don't care if he is lying about his height in some degree. but that pic from global with him and the rest of the four can literally sum it up. he can be 5'4'' for all i care, but mischa is slunching down from her full height by an inch. her back isn't curved to the point to dramatically lower your height and she has one of her legs LOCKED. when you lock your leg and you arent double jointed in the knee you arent losing more than a centimetre or two of height. she basically loses a bit more than an inch. id say 1.5 to please you people. ben is around 2 inches taller than her at that point with him standing straight with his head bent. that basically cancels mischas slouching back. his hair may add a little bit because of volume. but the "evidence" is there. brody is 5'11'' or close, and he looks almost 2 inches taller than ben. let it go. the boots help obviously, but depending on shots and the actions either actors are doing, on can look taller than the other. this screen shot has them basically standing still. its the best judge and it works.

kirk, those boots are so ugly that Adam Brody is ashamed to be photographed next to Ben.
Ben McKenzie has said that he wished he was taller, saying that he thought 6’ was perfect height.

why does everybody found those boots so ugly??? i like them! and by the way... i don't think ben has a problem with his height... in one interview he says he has the perfect height... and i also think he's 5'7''... and the argument "he looks small because he is muscular" is crap... he has very narrow shoulders what should look him even taller!

Mehm's pic has the answer. He's wearing shoes with a huge 4cm heel, also he's standing much closer to the camera (this is often ignored in pics) and still looks 3 inches shorter than Adam.
He can't be above 5'7".

same frame as Whalberg. Still amazed people think these guys are of real average heights. They are not. Both are 5'8" MAX. If Ben was as tall as 5'9" which he is not he would look around Brodys height with his huge ass heeled boots but there is never ever as single shot where these two look the same height and Brody is always in converse or very flat shoe. Get real people!! They use all tricks to dimish the huge gap between Mischa and Ben.

Ben might be 170 - 172, look at his pics on getty with another actor whose listed as 5 feet 9 here and he looks easily 4 - 5 cms shorter than him and besides if that's true then mischa is probably more 5 feet 10 - 5 feet 10.5, which also seems fair and the fact that he is a little height counscious makes me believe that when he said he is 5 feet 9, he was rounding up. One more thing his official myspace says 175 cms.

There is just absolutely no way that Ben is only 1.5 inches shorter than Mischa. In the show, she is 1 to 2 inches taller than him and that's when he wears those crazy shoes and she wears flats. He's 5'7"/5'8" and she is 5'11"/5'11.5".

Astrid i totally agree with you. He certainly is no shorter than 173, he is a very strong 174, 173 at the very very least. Mischa does look pretty taller than him cause he looks about an inch shorter after wearing 2 inch heels and she wears practically nothing and we all know that mischa is more 5 feet 11 - 5 feet 11.5, even rob knows it. If he was as short as 5 feet 7, he will look abnormally short and he certainly looks normal.

How do we know he wears lifts? Yeah his boots are chunky, but I watched (and still do watch) the OC religiously, and in a couple of episodes he's barefoot next to Adam (also barefoot). He's about 2.5 - 3 inches shorter, which would make him at 5'8.5" - 5'8".
I honestly do not think he's any shorter than that. Mischa is about 5'10", and she doesn't tower over him.

I reckon that if they were both barefoot and standing upright then Mischa would have Ben beat by 3 inches.

Cmon man he looks atleast 2 inches shorter than her and i am sure she is like 181, so that makes him 177 - his shoie heels which are 4 cm minimum, making him 172 + mischas shoe which has maybe 2 cm, so making him 174 but i still think 173 is correct

Ben:5'7 tops
Mishca: 5'9 tops!! and I think she's not taller than that, she can look taller sometimes cause she's toooo skinny
Adam: 5'11, but in that pic he only look 5'10
Rachel: like 5'1 , she's so tiny!!

That's a "rule" in Hollywood. The leading man always has to be the tallest of the cast (except on Comedy, that the character is most of times a dorky freak, so he can be 5'10" or less)
That way, Ben is 5'8" and I think Mischa is 5'10.5". She's REALLY tall and her romantic pair has to be taller, so Ben wears heeled boots that makes him almost as big as 5'11" Adam Brody.

The O.C. is terrible for comparing the heights of Mischa and Ben.
In The O.C. they put Mischa in flat ‘barely there’ footwear and she’s always slouching and bending her knees to minimise her height, on the other hand Ben wears big chunky ‘man heels’ to try to make him look taller.
Mischa is easily taller than Ben, she’s got him beat by 2-3 inches.

A driver's license doesn't prove anything though. You can put down any height on your driver's license. I know 5'7" guys who put 5'9" down on theirs. The DMV doesn't check or care.

Hey Astrid. Sorry, got to disagree with you on 5'9" for Ben. Peter Gallagher is 5'9" at best as most of us have already agreed. Ben is smaller by 1 inch at the very least.

I think Ben is 5'9", Mischa is 5'10".
I've seen numerous screenshots of them both next to each other. There is a scene in an episode (can't remember which one, sorry) where Ben takes his shoes off as Adam comes through the door of the pool house. Adam (wearing dress shoes) is apparently 5'11", and looked about 2 inches taller that Ben (barefooted). If I find a screenshot of this, I will post it.

The oc, season 4, episode 11: Ben and Rachael Bilson [5"1.5] are in the kitchen in one scene. Using the 'four and a half inch' rule from brow to top of head, Ben looks approx 5"6 when comparing him directly with Rachael. I think you could be generous his way and give an extra 1".5, making him an even 5"7.5 on a really good day. Response welcome on this one if you see the scene.

It’s very funny that on the OC they had 6’3” Kevin Sorbo as his dad because it was a huge mismatch. There was a scene at the end of an episode where they hugged and Ben was standing on a step so that he could reach Kevin.

I think he is around 5'6, maybe 5,8 or 9 with shoes with the high heel. In the first season of the OC his character was always wearing those huge ass work boots that have the three inch heel in the back, and in all the publicity shots early on they always make sure he is in the foreground or standing on something to elevate him.

Well I also think, that the last episode of the 3rd season is a perfect way to measure their heights. Mischa is certainly taller than Ben. I guess 5'8 for Ben and 5'10 maybe 5'9.75 for Mischa fits. No way ben is 5'7. If you look at the pics from john where ben and adam are in florida, and we assume adam is 5'11 the 5'8 for ben are pretty exact.

How much height do you think those shoes give him? To me it seems like more than two inches. So, if he is 5'7" he would be 5'9"-510"+ in these shoes and then Mischa is basically barefoot in her shoes and she is still taller than him in the show. This means that Ben is 5'7" and Mischa is easily 5'10", most likely 5'11". The producers would not give Ben such big heels if he were 5'8" and Mischa was only 5'9". The gap must be bigger than we think.

wow, look at Height Dectective's picture there. I have never seen such height on a sole of a shoe for a male. If you can see light shining from the opposite side of the shoe hitting the floor beneath the shoe, then that is way too much lift. Doesn't look normal; more like high heels. Hey, I bet it would be easy to rob this guy - take his wallet, since if you grab and run, he won't be able to catch you in those shoes. He'll just stand there like he's stuck in the mud.

Average U.S. White Male height is now 5'10.2" NHANES survey conducted in 1999-2002.
I believe it is simply an illusion that a 6 footer can look 6'2", simply because those shorter misjudge how tall a person is, when they are much shorter themselves. The closer you are to 6' yourself, the better judge of height you are near others that are around 6'+/-, and since average white male height is only off by less than 2 inches, most people can judge fairly well (except clueless people).

Ben thinks 6' is the perfect height. His vision of height is completely skewed. 6'2" is now the perfect height (for males). People are growing taller everyday. 6' is just a lil' bit above average now. :(

I would say 5'8" tops for him. Probably more like 5'7"? Yeah I agree bill, guys with muscular builds can often look taller than they really are, but ben looks really short in that picture with Alessandro. Ben- 5'7"-5'8", Mischa- 5'10"+

You can tell by the show that he's on the short side. 5'8 is not exactly short. 5'7 is short. I'm 5'7 but people always say I look in the 5'8-5'9 range. Some people's perception of height is poor and mislead. Especially if someone has a muscular build like me or Benjamin Mckenzie. (Or Stallone for that matter)

I don't think he looks that short. I'd originally thought he wasn't anything more than 5'7" which is short, to me.

I'm coming around to the possibility that he could be 5'8". Here he is relatively recently with Alessandro Nivola, who's 5'9"

He doesn't look to be in lifts in this one, because I've seen another pic of him looking the same height as Alessandro, but it was at a premier where actors are especially notorious for lifts.

Editor Rob for once maybe he wears normal shoes, not those 1.8 inch cowboy or oversize doc martins. In those series of pics he sure does look short

Anywhere between 5'7 and 5'8 I would say. I don't think there has ever been a SHORT moviestar be honest about his height other than Dennis Hoffman. THey ALL add at least 2 inches. In Stallone's case, 3 inches.

Mischa Barton is taller than Ben McKenzie on the OC even though she wears really flat shoes and Ben wears chunky 2 inch or so boots (at least that is how tall I heard they are). Can anyone explain this to me? Maybe Mischa is 5'10"+ and Ben is more around 5'8"??

Yeah, he's small. But one thing you have to admit is that hes very built and that can make gim look taller. I still say 5'9'', maybe he's slouching a little. See, he says he's 170lbs and I believe him now. He's very built. He does sit-ups I guess and I KNOW that you're slouching a little then because your abs hurt. You also get some back problems and that's why. Now his feet are thicker than they were in the first 2 seasons but he still looks great.

The scene at the beach hut in bare feet is actually very revealing - Mischa is slid a little down the wall and is slouching, McKenzie is standing as tall as possible. She is definately around 2 inches taller.

I have reserved judgement until I saw an episode where both Mischa and Ben were in bare feet for all the world to see. Proof for all. An episode where they are kissing in a beach hut. They are the SAME height. I can direct everyone to a website that has episode clips. Even surface both standing straight - She is very slim and he has a great physique. No trick photography .

From everything I have seen, I would say pretty definitively that he is 5'8". I am about 5'7" myself and he looks about an inch taller than me. His boots make him seem taller than he is, and he probably exaggerated with the "I'm 5'9"" claim, but he's definitely not shorter than 5'7.5" or taller than 5'9".

I also think Ben is 5'8 or maybe even a little bit shorter. And he definitely tries to look taller with those big shoes.
I've noticed especially that in events with the cast he tends to stand next to Rachel Bilson...that kind of bothers me because I want to see Rachel next to Adam!!!!! I love them together :-) But Ben wants to look tall! Anybody can look tall next to Rachel, LOL

If this guy was slimmer he would look taller. He is muscley. Long faces and high foreheads always make people taller. He has a very cute rounder face. He in my opinion is around 5`8`. No shortage of female fans either. Gorgeous.

I think he is close to 5'8", max 5'8.5". No way he is 5'9" ! At the picture where Ben stands close to Adam Brody (5.11) in Florida at that weird game, he looks a lot shorter.
I mean almost every man who is unsatisfied with his height lies about it an adds 1 inch.

But Brandon Lee was 5'11''-6' and weighed around 180 I read. What do you say?
IMO Dacascos and Lee are lookalikes and were the best "Crows". McKenzie sometimes looks as tallas Brody... same footwear... both smaller than Barton in heels... does Brody also wear lifts? He looks 5'10'' I'd say.

Dacascos and Mckenzie, can't be compare.
Not the same body not the same training.
Mckenzie looks to be a "natural born strong" and probably do body building.
Dacascos is a martial artist, he probably didn't work out to gain muscles, it came with martial training. He's got a condition similar to Bruce Lee, and Lee, before he died, was around 120 lbs (true !!!) and was very proud it.

Thanks. And I thought he would be far under the 170... he wished he was taller. So if he's 5'9'' or 5'8.5'' he probably's really 170lbs. What again doesn't speak for Pitt and 155lbs... man, that's a debate!
It was hard to imagine that McKenzie could be that "small" and that "heavy" because Marc Dacascos is 5'9'' and has 155lbs, sometimes 10 more and sometimes 10 less. But the guy is so ripped and muscle.

@175cm16andgrowing : To answer your question about his weight, first of all, I don't know this guy and this show :) (I remember you I am french !!)
But with the pics i saw on google, I can say if he's 5'7" as you may think, he can't be under 70 kilos (154 pounds) He looks to have an heavy bone structure, he looks muscular but with a little fat... So I would say around 72 kilos (160 pounds) is a good gess.

He said he's 5'9'', just look up. He's listed as 5'9'' everywhere though we know his footwear but when wearing his "heels" he'S sometimes nearly as tall as Adam Brody who also wears shoes. Mischa said herself she's 172cm and after that people said she has to be taller, than she admitted "yes, maybe a little bit" and Mischa isn't 25 yet so she can still grow.

This guy even says he's 5'7'. Why inflate so much. It's rediculous. I have seen him in TX where he is from and he is tiny. And Mischa is only 5'7" too. The height inflation is kinda weird on this site. There is a lot of it. Like Owen Wilson. Know him fairly well through family and he is a short dude. Like 5'8". Not what you have him as here. Weird.

I think male stars are less concerned with their weight than they are their height. He looks fairly muscular and compact to me. I would buy him weighing 170. He definately not small as 140. I would guess his height as being about 5'7 maybe 5'8.

Perhaps you're right but I don't think so. He has skinny legs and he looks like... 160lbs max if he'S 5'9''. I think 5'7'' may be correct, just as I think 140lbs could be correct. Do stars just lie about their height? Don't they also lie about their weight?

Looking at him, 170lbs wouldn't be out of the question at 5'8" or even 5'7" IMO. He's a pretty stocky guy. He just doesn't look the 5'9" be claims unless he's in those big boots.

Yeah, I think even the current height listed here is being generous. In this shot, you get to see some of the cast memeber (full body). Not only does this photos favor Ben because he's closer to the camera, but he's in some serious heeled boots. To tell you the truth, I don't think he's anything over 5'7" barefoot.

And this one shows how high they can get his lifts next to castmate Adam Brody:

And, ignoring Mischa Barton's serious hills, try and look at the difference in height of Adam and Ben. If Adam is really 5'11", Ben is struggling with even the 5'9", I think.

say mischa is 174 or 175cm, at the most, she wears her flat 1cm ballet shoes, while ben wears like a 4-5cm boot, yet she is still taller then him. So if shes still about 2cm taller then him, he would be at MOST 170cm, more likely just under. Which works out to be like 5'7" or 5'6.75" which would start to justify while people who have see him say he is small as under 170cm is regarded as below average height. As for his boots only being like 3/4 or 1 inch, thats only 2.5cm, a regular shoe gives that much, and a big boot like his gives double that.

After reading the article posted in a link in which he comments that his 'shortness' (right from his own mouth) is what is 'sexy' about him, I can conclude that this dude has a serious complex about his height. The boots. The mention of it in many interviews. It speaks for itself. He's has to be shorter than 5'8.5" because why is he always mentioning his lack of height? Also, from just observation, many shortish guy say they're 5'9". (i.e. Katie Holmes' "boyfriend" ;-) )

I think Benjiman McKenzie is 5'9" when he has those shoes that he wears on the show on, but doesn't want to admit that if he and Mischa Barton ever stood together bare foot, he'll be slightly shorter than the 5'8" Barton.

JOSH thank you! Finally somebody agreeing and mentining that Mischa wears 70 % of the time ballerina shoes which have barely 0.5 inch heel. I totally agree with you. This guy is 5'7.5 max. Period. Not a single episode where he is wearing sneakers... or other shoes that these stupid loking platform boots where you can also hide another 1-2 inches of lifts. Isn't that strange???? It's hot in L.A...

I think he is 5'9 (175cm)with his boots but without them he must be 5'7.5 (171cm) and mischa looks 5'8.5 (174cm) next to him with her flat ballerina type shoes.

The more is see this guy the more I think he is not 5'8''. I can prove it to U. First of all Peter Gallagher (5'9.5'')is wearing rather high heeled shoes and so does Mr.McKenzie so we don't have to think about the shoe factor while comparing these guys. Just watch an episode of O.C. and U will see that Ben is around 2 inches shorter than Peter, if he'd be only 1.25 inches shorter U'd barely notice it. This leads to simple calculation 5'9.5''- 2''= 5'7.5''

Thanks for agreeing guys. I 'm so convinced that this guy is a bit below 5'8" is also that his body looks very similar to mine. He is quite bulky and muscular. Adam Brody is always wearing extremely flat shoes and if Mischa Barton if wearing heels which are barely "real" female stiletto high heels(I consider real female heels like 2,5-3 inches at least). I am convinced this guy is 5'7.5 MAX!

I'd say Ben is at least 5'7.5 But wears like 2 inch lifts on the show to look the same height as Adam

Sorry but it seems as if I'm always the guy pointig out the 5'7" club members! NEVER ever stands this guy 5'9 nor 5'8.5 nor 5'8". Why would they make him wear these ugly big heeled shoes on a sitcom...On O.C he is always wearing them. Never a sneaker or a regular shoe. Get real and accept that this guy is 5'7.5", all his physical features indicate that and since I am in this height category myself and I am a huge movie and sitcom fan my eye is trained to detect these guys who are a bit below average.

There is NO WAY Ben McKenzie is 5'9" or even 5'8" for that matter. His body, especially his legs, are just way too short overall. Unless he has most of his height in his torso and not his legs. Also, on an episode of MTV's PoWerGirls, Lizzie Grubman and her assistants sit around the morning after a club opening for which they all worked the door and one girl said "Ben McKenzie is SO TINY!" And the other girls all agreed. Would a girl really say a guy is TINY if he is almost 5'9", especially if Ben wore dress shoes out that night, which would've given him at least another inch? No way.

No Ben is taller or the same height as Mischa! He's 174 and she's 173.

he is definately shorter than 5'8.
in o.c. he always wears shoes like those on this picture and he is still shorter than mischa barton (she is listed about 5'7) wearing flat shoes.
