Bill Skarsgaard looked like he had a good 2 inches on him in John Wick 4. Skarsgaard might have had a footwear advantage though, couldn't tell.

this guy is one of the best well built actors that didnt use it to put on mucles and to action roles. He have big hands wide shoulders and huge head, very manly voice. Thyis guy did have a great career, well still have but i think he deserved to get leading roles. He is a actor you dont forget. Beside Tim robbins he did look 2 inches shorter. But i think TIm was 6´5. Legit 6´3 peak. in highlander he pulled of 6´4. 6´3 peak and tiny fraction under now but bad posture these days.

He says guys of his size are usually thugs. Well, Clancy doesn’t do too bad a job when he played the Sheriff in Pet Sematary Two, and that was even before he was mauled to death by the dog he’d killed while protecting his master, his stepson Drew, who then buried him in the Pet Sematary and comes back more evil than ever.
My favourite funny scene used to be when he sits eating beans at the table with Drew and Jeff (Edward Furlong), but this time round, it was when he catches a bully boy attacking 13-year-old Jeff with his bike. The guilty boy says, “I was only ••••ing with him!”
Then Clancy’s Sheriff character, Gus, turns the tables onto the bully, who has a motorbike. Gus picks it up, turns on the engine and says, “I’m only ••••ing with you!”
The boy doesn’t have much time left to apologise, and then the evil Sheriff decides to reek even more havoc and bury him in the accursed burial ground.
Clancy’s non-stop maniacal laughter is funny, if disturbing. When he lifts the motorbike, you can see what a big strong guy he is, who would have played an excellent patient in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, as his facial expression is perfect!
I’m going with 6ft3.5 for his peak and 6ft2.75 for today’s height.

I think the difference between him and Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption more signals that Robbins was taller than listed, rather than Brown having been under 191 peak (we can certify him at least thereat).

🎊🎈🎂🎁 Happy Birthday Clancy 🎁🎂🎈🎊
A Very Happy Birthday to the gorgeous Clancy Brown, who shocked the living daylights out of me the second time I saw him act - in 'Pet Sematary II', the first time being in 'The Shawshank Redemption'. Since then, I've gone out of my way to see his films. He has an attractively deep voice, and no doubt, this contributes to many of the powerful roles he takes on, not to mention his tall height.
Clancy can have 6ft3.25 for his peak and 6ft2.75 for his height nowadays.
He's 62 today. 😀👌🍻🍰 XX

I was very pleased to see that Clancy Brown was in an episode of 'Medium' yesterday night. Comparing him to Patricia in this seemed an exciting prospect, but Ms Arquette always seems to be wearing reasonably high shoes, and she did in this episode when she and the menfolk visited Clancy's office. We did get two chances of seeing Patricia brush past Clancy, but her heels concealed the difference of well over a foot. Shame....😭!
I said to my brother at the onset of this 'Medium', "I bet you he plays a baddie!" 😟
He did!
Clancy has a deep 'tall man's voice', and this evening, the Capricornian, curly-haired actor can have 6ft3.25 for his peak and 6ft2.75 for today's height. 😁👍

In Shawshank there is a reliable scene with him and another prison guard. Brown is standing very loose posture and the other guard is standing abnormally straight. In any case Brown still looks 188.5cm-189.5cm tall. The other guard also wearing the prison cap still looks a good 2.75-3” shorter than Brown so about 181.5cm-182cm. If he were standing similar posture to Brown no more than 180cm to Brown’s 189cm.

In Highlander he could pass for a 6’4 guy so I think 6’3/191cm is reasonable. Don’t know about today but I trust Big Rob: 6’2.5/189cm

Peak height 190cm max. His proportions as well as favourable casting may have given him a taller perception to many.

in shawshank he didnt look over 189-190 cm beside tim robins if he is 6´5. He was also same height as morgon freeman. so going from that movie i would say 189,5. but from all other movies he pull of 6´3 easy. i think the listed height is pretty spot on.

From rewatching The Shawshank Redemption, I still can't buy any less than 2 solid inches between him and Tim Robbins. Plus, he really didn't look much different than Morgan Freeman: Click Here
6'2.5 would be a much more believable listing for his peak height, and certainly the most I'd have guessed him at in the movie.

🎂🎈🕯️ Happy Birthday Clancy! 🕯️🎈🎂
The great, and often sinister actor Clancy Brown turns 61 years old today. Congratulations to him - love his dynamic roles! He turned the follow-up to Stephen King's original 'Pet Sematary' ('Pet Sematary 2') into something WELL worth seeing!
If Clancy's in a film, that's recommendation enough for me and I will invest in a copy.
I wish him a fantastic Birthday! XX

So this is the guy who voiced Neo Cortex in the Crash Bandicoot games.Unbelievable!I haven't put my hands on a video game since 2008 yet I remember very distinctly the name Clancy Brown in the games credits because it was an uncommon one(at least for me).Funny to see how something futile seen like 15-16 years ago could remain in the mind while some interesting things are promptly forgotten.

Only in highlander he looked very tall...

So, you think he actually was only 1.75 inches shorter than Tim Robbins? Some people suggest Tim was more 6'6 when younger, this listing certainly would put him closer to that mark!

Still looks close to 6ft3. 189-190cm is right for today.
I know Rob would disagree but I can still picture him being
6ft4 at one point. He looked huge in Shawshank Redemption
even with the even more intimidating Tim Robbins.

In Highlander Clancy wore 3' elevated boots (same boots that Vin Diesel wears in most of his movies) that made him a look over 6'5 next to a scrawny 5'10 Christopher Lambert. He's height at the time was a little over 6'2 but by the time be began filming Shawshank Redemption he was no taller then 6'1½ at most.
I don't know how he lost most of his height but from what I've heard about Clancy he seems like a pretty physical guy so premature height lose really doesn't surprise me.

Another underrated, underappreciated actor. He was always best in tough guy roles--my favorites with him are 1986's HIGHLANDER and 1987's EXTREME PREJUDICE. Aside from his intimidating presence, he also has a great, booming voice. Clancy Brown to this day is a big, tall man. I don't think he was ever quite 6'4" but he's definitely a strong 6'3". I think peak he was 6'3 1/2" and even now in his 50s, I still think he's close to this mark. 6'3" for sure for Clancy.

Even if he was 6'3" I'm not gonna lie. He did look much smaller than Tim Robbins in Shawshank.

In he Highlander I heard that Chris Lambert is like 6 ft 1 and clancy back then was like 6 ft 3 so Chris would have only been 2 inches short and the Kurgan was supposed to be 7 foot Clancy is alot shorter than 7 ft so they had to have him wear combat boots as you see in the film he towers over the 6 ft 1 Lambert the boots probably make him about 6 ft 7 in order to really tower over Lambert in some movies you see him now he looks alot shorter like 6 ft 2 plus he's getting old he probably shrunk an inch

This guy definitely had around 3 inches, minimum 2.5, on Bakula (who is more like 5'11.5-5'11.75 than a full 6' imo) in the episode of Enterprise he was in. 6'2.5 sounds about right for him nowadays, and a solid 6'3 at his peak.

I've read he's over 6'2 in here, but if you see him in Starship Troopers during the 'adminstrative punishment' scene he does not look more than 3 inches taller than Casper Can Dien who is reportedly 5'9-5'10 here.

Watched Shawshank redemption a few weeks ago for the first time. He only looks 2-3 inches shorter than Robbins, but in one of the last scenes he stands side by side to Morgan Freeman is a little shorter than him.
Have to watch the Guardian, because if he's indeed 2 inches taller than Costner, it makes little sense as Costner was basically the same height as Freeman.
In the Highlander movie he was referred to as 7 feet, so he probably had to come off as being a very tall person (with the aid of camera angles).
In Starship Troopers he looked shorter than Jake Busey to me (and he's listed here at 6'3).

An inch and a half isn't really that much of a difference you guys. I know alot of people who say they are 6'4 when they are really 6'2.5" If you think about it. 2 1/2 inches is quite a difference. So that looks noticable enough to me for a reason to be a shade under 6'3".

anyway, freeman in shawshank was near enough 6ft 3, and brown did not look shorter than 6ft 2.5 in my own opinion, which might be the most accurate height to list him ;-)
I say this again, on the rooftop when he walks up to square to Robbins, it is hard to argue this guy is 6ft 1, as he is only a few inches short in that scene...the guy from aliens who is near 6ft was looking a few inches up at Brown, and in the cell freeman is a little closer to camera - maybe you saw noticeably 1.5 inches taller, but to me they are very similar in height.

Um Editor, I seriously think it's a bit of a conisidence to have more than 1 camera angle where someone looks much taller cause Morgan Freeman is 6'2" but shorter than Robbins and Taller than Clancy. I don't think it is very likely that they would do it about 3 or 4 times in a movie.

I really don't remember the difference between Robbins and Brown as being all that much.

Editor Rob yes, that's what I said...in that scene he could look 4 inches shorter, but perspective plays a role in making objects that are closer appear taller (if the camera is shooting upwards from a lower position) and making objects appear taller if they are slightly further back (if camera is shooting from a higher up, downward position).
We could argue this guy to death, 189cm might be the closest...

Again with the comments saying he's only 6'1'' in Carnivale he looks about the same height as John Caroll Lynch who is quoted on other sites as 6'4''. Lynch does look big and tall in films or TV. Also to repeat what I stated below on UK edition of Shawshank the director in interview describes Brown as gigantic. He can't be only 6'1'' to be decribed as gigantic. He does look a couple of inches shorter than Robbins in film though.

I think he's 6'1 or 6'2". He looks to small to be a man who is 6'3".

Go back to his earlier movies, like Buckaroo Banzai. His story of having lost height from 6'4" looks credible to me.

Just watched the interviews on the UK dvd of Shawshank. The director describes Clancy as 'gigantic'. This must mean he is 6'3'' or taller. However he does look a fair bit shorter than Robbins in the film. Maybe Robbins is taller than 6'5''.

On Carnivale he does look very tall. I don't see any reason why he would be wrong about his height. He's not a macho man actor or hearthrob who might add on a couple of inches for effect.

Editor Rob as noted in the comments further down there really isn't much between freeman and him in one of the scenes they have...

Yes, he is shorter than 6'2 Morgan Freeman, and he was at least 3.5 inches shorter than Tim Robbins so he´s probably about 6'1.

I stumbled across the quote by Clancy about being 6'4" and now 6'3" because of back surgery:

He says there that directors have always been trying to make him look shorter so he doesn't tower over the lead actor and director Paul Verhoeven even said to him: "You will never work with Arnold".

I remember reading he was 6'4" but lost an inch due to back problems.
