Yeah 5'11 1/2 looks right. Tallish guy for sure and can pull off 6'0-6'1

After the downgrade and looking into him more, would you say he looks closer to 5'11 3/4 or 5'11 1/4?

Editor RobI stuck with 11.5 because there is always a chance a bit below or above that mark.

I can see from the other comments how some people may think this guy can come across as a solid 6ft after watching Containment, but after seeing him in TVD and supergirl it makes it very apparent he’s under 6ft.

Rob can you explain this? So in TVD Chris Wood can look barely ever 5'10.5 range with 5'9.5 Ian Somerhalder but somehow with 5'9.5 David Gysai Wood on containment looks a strong 5'11 and even close to 5'11.75?

Editor RobIan has the ability to look near 5ft 10 on Vampire's, I think he wears thicker shoes, though in person it can be hard to tell ian/david apart height-wise.

Rob, would you say this guy is a classic "height chameleon" similar to Robert Pattinson? At times he can look barebones 5'11, however, at other times he can look 6'0 maybe even 6'0 1/4. If you've ever seen the show "containment" you'd understand what I mean. Overall I think he's 5'11 1/2ish but its weird he def wears shoes with heels at times.

Editor RobI think from what I saw on Supergirl he could look anywhere from 5ft 11 to 6ft range.

Did you downgrade him Rob by a quarter? This seems far more believable. 5’10.75-5’11.5 is ok for him.

Editor RobHe can look barely 5ft 11, Ian has worn some thicker heels at times, which might help him look near 5ft 10.

Rob, out of Drake, Christian Bale, Jensen Ackles, and Chris Wood, who's shortest to tallest?

Editor RobIt is close, I think overall I might actually give Jensen an edge, but Drake I don't rule out a full six foot.

Would you lean more towards 5'11 1/2 or 6'0?

Editor RobI think close to 6ft at times, so maybe a bit more odds 5ft 11.75-6ft range

Strange, he never looked this tall on TVD. I always had the image that he was somewhere between 5'10 - 5'11, being slightly taller than Ian and Paul but shorter than Matt Davis.

He looks like a solid 6ft guy, but of course this site has an obsession with underguessing people's heights.

Hard to tell with this guy, sometimes wears shoes with massive heels on the supergirl show/in public. To be totally honest he might be 181 or 181.5cm at night/mid-day. I have a hard time seeing 182.5-183+. Certainly not a solid 6ft like Henry Cavill or Edward Norton.

I always think that for people with this name, there would be a great deal more scope for entertainment if it was spelt the other way, having known some Woods myself and their extreme willingness to say "yes" to anyone!
This fellow had better get the full 6ft from me, because otherwise I WOULD risk being struck off his Christmas Card List, and we can't have that, can we?
6ft ➖ 🔑 ➖ 🎄✉✔ 😁
5ft11.75 ➖ 🎄✉❌ 😝

Jon Jonzz said 'The D.E.O. received reports this morning of a six-foot alien(Chris Wood) attacking two men in a bar last night...Apparently this alien had a 5'2 sidekick.'
He can occasionally look 6'0(183cm)but 182cm seems more accurate.

Another one I had at at the full 6'0. Army boots in containment must have conned me.

Editor Rob he does look like he might have some 0.6 inch Puma style, so if Matthew is in at least 1-inch shoe, he's got a bit of footwear advantage.

Seems about right for him. He's in the same range as Gustin and looks this next to Melissa as well as the rest of the Supergirl cast! Good listing!

Editor Rob Ian at times can seem taller I believe due to thicker footwear, but on Supergirl, I don't think Wood looked far off 6ft...
