@Mickie and Editor Rob: Ali Baba thought he was slightly taller than Posehn. The latter may have been a weak 6’6”

He looked very mildly edged out I think by big 6’6” Steve Agee.

Editor Robcould look under it...though maybe a bit worse posture and a lot less hair.

Rob, do you think he added the 0.6 inch to his height only as a joke or could he have legitimately measured around that?

It’s only something to keep in mind. Maybe 6’5.75” at worst, considering worst posture. We have to ask about footwear.

I read his comment again, and Ali did mention Brian had terrible posture, so it's something to keep in mind.

Bo is extremely lanky for a 6'5"-6'6", so he could give a taller impression, but I think Brian might be a little taller. However, I don't think it's much.

Editor RobHe can look quite tall With Jason Segel there...but by 50's, he seems a guy who might be a candidate for having lost a fraction. Could he ever have been as tall as the sign of the beast?

Rob, do you think could be the case Steve Agee is atually 6'6 1/4 and Poseh is 6'5 1/2 with some loose posture making him sometime look flat 6'5?

Editor RobMaybe Posehn has poorer posture at times, I can see how 6ft 5.5-6 is arguable for him.
Canson said on 4/Nov/18
@Junior: I think Ali measured 6’5 7/8 or a full 6’6 when he met him. I wouldn’t put Brian under 6’5.5 but think 6’6 is too much especially since he met him and confirmed it

There is a 197cm claimed poster Alibaba look 1/2 on Brian. 6'5 1/4 could be his low.

I see 6'5" and change today. He looks just under 4" taller than Jim Parsons on recent BBTs, Jim being a strong 6'1. I don't think Brian has lost that much height at only 51, but he could have been a notch under 6'6 in his 20's. Taller than most of his co-actors, that a given.

@Christian: could also be that I have better posture and better hydrated now. Last few days I'm 195.8 out of bed and 194 evening if I don't hit the gym. Gym days 193.8ish

@SJH: possible especially given he's in Hollywood. Ali Baba said his normal low is 6'5 3/4 or 7/8. I think the 6'5.5 and 6'5 5/8 is an absolute low. More like me when I come down to low 193 range. I've actually measured the last few days and gotten back to 194 flat evening on non gym days because been working out more on my core. I haven't tested and absolute low recently but inbox standing at 195.8-.9 out of bed and 194 evening now
-----
How does the core muscle affect height loss? I thought it was related to the back muscles.

Posehn is closer to the camera with alibaba if you take a second look at the picture there is no footwear issue posehn is between 6'5-6'5.25 since alibaba is 6'5.6 i can tell 1cm is possible. That make sense for steve agee 6'6 claim. Posehn can't be any higher than 196cm when standing tall. Sometimes agee can look over 2" taller when posehn having really bad posture but closer to 1" between them for real comparison

@Danimal: no chance he is really 6'6.6 barefoot but in shoes he is. I've noticed heavier guys (overweight) are the biggest culprits of lying about their height and using a Morning and rounding up (which I guess the latter is ok) but still not 100% accurate. if Ali Baba comes down to 6'5 7/8 barefoot. He's a cm taller prob at minimun1/4". I'd put Brian around 6'5.5 barefoot that's of course unless his posture was really that bad

He did not look 6'6" at all in his Seinfeld cameo. The pic with Ali Baba suggest he's around 6'6", but I've got Kramer estimated at about 6'2.75". I'd say Brian looked 6'4.5" next to him. Odd.

Rob, the number of the beast is 666, not 66. He is 6'6.6" which is what he actually said, not 6'6". He's also said he's 6'7".

I saw this picture years ago and i think what you think too at first. But this picture of the ground and camera angle seem a little odd but theres other comparison both agee and posehn they only look about an inch different not this much. Agee is really 6'6 as he claim on twitter and posehn somewhere 6'5 range as 197cm alibaba posted here with camera angle advantage favour on posehn

Posehn looks small compared to Steve Agee, who is listed at 6'6, but that's definitely downplaying.... Agee's gotta be maybe under 6'9, like 6'8.5 or something

Rob, can you add a photo and some examples of films. He was in Five-Year Engagement. I thought actually he could look close to 3 inches taller than Jason Segel in that. Could look 6'6 and change with him but seeing him with Ali doesn't look that.

He was actually probably a tad shorter. We were both wearing Vans type shoes and he mentioned I was taller as well. His posture is horrible though. He's an old school wrestling fan and mentioned how the taller guys in that business fib about their heights. He specifically brought up Nash. I thought that was funny.

Ali Baba's pic is the key that he's at least 6'6 no less! Ali, was he taller than you or about same? I can't tell in the pic as you all have diff angles.

Saw him do a stand up event. He does have very poor posture, and comes off as a weak 6'5". No doubt could gain at least at least an inch straightened up.

On Seinfeld not sure if he looked quite 6'6" next to 6'3" Michael Richards. Certainly a solid 6'5" though.

I saw him next to Jason Segel and he looked a solid 2 inches taller. Segel is reported at 6'4", so I would say 6'6" is pretty accurate based on that.

I just moved to Hollywood, CA in early January.
So far I've been booked on some really good shows.
Today I did background on 'Big Bang Theory'.
Brian Posehn was in the scene just before me.
He walked right by me a couple of times.
As best I could tell the top of my head reached his eye brows.
Which I estimate to be around a 4" difference.
I'm 6'1" in just my socks.
I was wearing my Vans sneakers so altogether around 6'2".
He had on similar sneakers to mine.
So I would estimate him to stand around 6'5".
However he was slouching both times.
The one time I saw him straighten up he seemed to gain 1-2".
So I guess my final estimation on Brian Posehn's height would be about what what he is usually stated at... around 6'6".
Funny guy & a good actor.

No where near 6'6" tall. I'm 6'2" tall with my shoes on (on a good day) and he was no more than an inch and a half taller than I am. That would make him 6'3.5" I'll be generous and give him 6'4" because he doesn't have the greatest posture, but he's not 6'6" or 6'7" as some sites give him. I've got a friend who's 6'6" and he would tower over him.

So what you're saying is that people "should" grow to that height? People come in all different sizes, in fact most people I've met are like 5'8", which is average height, 6'4" is rare.

There are some exceptions like-
A Chinese height is 7.9" and is married to 5.6"woman.He saved the life of two blue whales with the help of his long hands.
