Definitely at least 6ft3½. 99% sure Mira wouldn't have been with him if he was average male height.

berta, I think Chris is like Lee Pace. Claimed 6ft3 for years so he wouldn't lose out on parts but then overtime felt more comfortable with his actual height. Definitely nearer 6ft4 than 6ft3. The photos I posted below, he's with a guy whose 6ft2½ and looks at least an inch taller.

Name would probably escape you but the face you may recognize from various popular shows. Great character actor whose popped up in True Detective, Ozark, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I've seen 6ft2 listed but I think he's more likely to be a bit over it, arguably up to 6ft2½. He's a Rees-Mogg/Jack Charlton-type 6ft2er, has a frame for appearing much taller. As you can see in photos he's not much shorter than guys like Backus and Vaughn while also comfortably taller than solid 6ft1ers Marton Csokas and Jason Butler Harner. I get a 6ft3 impression if anything but I'll play it safe and request he get booked at 6ft2¼ :)

Editor RobI recognise him and would have thought over 6ft 2 looked likely..

Backus was like Lee Pace because 6'4 was too big for a leading man role so he decided to downplay an inch to fit in the 6'3 category but people were not blind they could see clearly he look at least 6'4 with 6'0 Christopher Meloni and 6'0.25" Reed Diamond. He can pull off 6'4 1/4 as well.

Padalecki is a solid 6ft4 guy at the very least. My chips are on him being tallest of the guys you just mentioned there. Rob has met Momoa, Webster and Parrack, still has them at 6ft4. Pace and Backus I think could be around that aswell...but Jared looks like the stronger 6ft4 overall

Jared Padalecki is no way taller than Backus not even Lee Pace. I am pretty confident that Jason Momoa, Victor Webster and Jim Parrack would look 1/4 below Backus. The average guess is accurate.

Truth is that he look a little over 6'4 with his 5'9 wife Mira Sorvino. Lots of image Mira her wear solid 3" heels but still look over 5" shorter than Backus. Strange if Backus insist claiming 6'3 which i recall he had some up close comparison with 6'5 listed Peter Cambor initially i thought Peter was 6'4 1/4 due to Backus listing. Christopher Kirby listed on one web page at 6'4 but look closer to 6'6 worst could think is 6'5.5" while another curious case is Ryan McPartlin listed 6'3 everywhere before i got here and see Rob have met him and listed him at 6'4 1/2. Beside Ryan i can see Backus and Kirby are highly downplaying their real height maybe to get good roles by lying to be shorter, this could be understand by very tall actors struggle to make a living.

@wunderposter Then Chris Meloni is weak 5'11 3/4. I can tell you Backus is not below 6'4 if you check him out with his 5'9 wife Mira Sorvino.

A weak 6'4" but certainly 6'3" dead is an underestimate.

I wouldn't argue 6'4 1/4 anymore. I can see 6'4 downplay 6'3 possible. Look a bit taller than Jason Momoa compare to a proper 6 footer.

I think it's pretty cool he isn't inflating his height like my dad tells people he's 6 ft but he's more closer to 6'1. It's either they don't know how tall they really are or just don't care at all lol; and that's pretty cool.

No offence to Backus and i hope he won't visit this site and read it. But i still have to say that we all know his wife are much famous and earning more credit on the screen than him. He could have decided to downplay an inch or more just to get more lead roles to caught the public eye somedays. Remember guys like Lee Pace claiming 6'3 back then and just few years ago start to tell the truth he is like 6'4 and 6'5 with shoes and Ryan Reynolds insisting 6'2 claim many times and we all wasn't blind to see that Reynolds is easily taller than his claim quite close to 6'3 just like Tom Welling. However i think there are very few tall actors downplaying themselve just to get more acting roles to earn more for a living. Backus is definitely one of them.

Rob, you should have convince enough Backus worth at least a 6'4 listing seeing him next to a min 6 foot tall guy Reed Diamond. 6'3 1/4 is too low for Backus.

Editor RobHe can look near 6ft 4 at times, I think he probably is dropping 1/2 inch at least from a claim, could he drop a full inch? Not an impossibility.

@Christian @Rampage(-_-_-)Clover You guys should check him out with his spouse Mira Sorvino in heels on google and 6'0 listed Christopher Meloni. 6'3-6'3.5" real not happen. 6'4 flat wasn't enough at all. Bennett, S.J.H, Berta guess it right he is 6'4.5-4.75" range when standing tall. This guy had potential hiding his frame to get acting roles because over 6'3-6'4 is too tall to get leading roles.
Click Here: hiding behind Meloni and all cast could still pull on 6'4 impression and look at how comfortable he stand. Guy next to him was 6'0.25".
Click Here the guy standing beside Backus on top post was met by rob and listed 6'0.25" here.

the best answer ever : his height out of bed = 192 cm , his height after working for 24 hours = 191 cm

Typo. I mean he look nothing shorter 6'4 actors. If most of 6'4 actors were just 6'3 range he did be a strong 6'4 not 6'3.25 and he seriously 100 percentage look over 6'4 with Mira Sorvino. Sorvino might just be a flat 5'8 claiming 5'9

@Christian: I agree! I don't think he's as tall as Ramoage either. I'd say generosity is 6'3.5. But rob's listing looks good. He has a bit of heel on his shoe there (dress shoe) and I can buy him being 6'4" out of bed.

Agree. He can look 193 to 194cm all the time and if you compare a recent vince vaughn and backus they look identical like he was at least 6'4 not less. Like i say mira sorvino is no way over 5'7.5 if backus stays 6'3.25 and many more to downgrade 1.25 , mira is probably just 5'8 peak and drop to 5'7.75 now and backus strong 6'4

Rob, i'm sure you can do the height math better than most people here. Christopher backus is no way under 194cm with mira sorvino. He probably try to downplay much height to get more acting roles he couldn't get due to his very tall lanky frame and he really needs an upgrade.
