I'm a little taller, actually - almost 5 foot 10. The camera likes it when you're pretty close in height, because otherwise it's hard to get you both in frame. A lot of women I've worked with are about my height. Cameron is about 5 foot 8 and Julia Roberts is too. My co-star in Griffin and Phoenix, Amanda Peet, is 5 foot 7, so we stand more or less eye to eye. I've worked with a couple of male actors who were extremely tall. I admit that I've put extra Dr. Scholl's in my shoes - so that I'm not looking up at the bottom of a guy's chin

I ran into him as an extra in the LeBron Netflix movie, If he is over 5'6" I'll eat my hat. He is tiny.

Always thought this guy was English
He does have an English look about him even though he’s American

He looked the same height as Sigourney weaver in copycat her barefoot and him in dress shoes I'm guessing his around 5ft 10 is accurate barefoot for him and he may have shrunk an inch in his 50s but doubt he'd have been 5ft 8.5 back when in copycat which was 1995

Yeah, in jobs Ashton Kutcher towered on him...if Asthon is a legitimate 6'2.5" guy, then Mulroney can't be taller than 5'9...5'8.5" is spot on!

Rob you might also want to mention his role in Friends and add a photo. He looked the same height if not a shade taller than Jack Nicholson in About Schmidt.

Let's not get silly, now, Rod. DeHaan is listed as 5'8.5", here. I think it's a bit of an overlisting, but 5'6" is absolutely out of the question for Dermot. Come on, now.

With Dermot standing next to DeHann who is listed at 5' 7" - he looks even shorter ... maybe 5' 6" ... in the Crisis TV show, he looked pretty short

Actually, David Oyelowo is actually not even 5'8", because other pics show 5'8" Dane DeHaan to have height on him:

So, those boots in that picture with Mulroney actually bring David up to 5'8", at the most. This probably requires changing David Oyelowo's height on his page.

Rob,
I think you may have to take him down to the 5'8" listing. Here he is with 5'8" Dane DeHaan and 5'8" David Oleyowo, and Mads Mikkelsen:
Click Here
With 5'7" Michael Pena:
Click Here
I think Oleyowo might have a slight footwear advantage (or maybe not), but Dermot is 5'8".

Editor Rob from looking at this event, dane I think can look a 174 guy, mads is a stick on 182 guy...Dermot I think putting him at 174 is ok just now...although 173 isn't impossible, David could be 172cm.
all 3 of them claim, 5ft 10 or 'almost' in Dermot's case.

Rob,
Do you think you could take a look at him, again? Type his name and Ewan McGregor's into Getty Images. I believe they are together in a movie, this year. Anyway, 5'9"ish Ewan is taller than Dermot in EVERY photo. I'm talking like a full inch in every one of them when Ewan is standing straight.

Editor Rob having another look at him just now and yeah I'd put him as looking more like a weak 5ft 9 at best.

My friend met Dermot Mulroney when he was in Park City for Sundance this year. She said she was a little disappointed by how "short" he was, and that he was only about an inch taller than her. She stands a high 5'7 - low 5'8. This listing sounds accurate, give or take half an inch.

I worked with him on wardrobe for a film shot locally. I'm 6'0" and he was way shorter than me. I'm going with 5'8"

Rob, is this for real? Click Here
I mean, it's about the same difference between you and Ryan Mcpartlin... This would put Mulroney at 5'8

Editor Rob there he looks no more than 8.5, he can look that, but also he can look 5ft 9 range at times, maybe he is nearer 5ft 9, but 5ft 8.5 I'm not sure he's that mark.

Is this really 5'6" Lara Flynn Boyle? That's who the picture lists her as, but it looks nothing like her. Is she ill?

With 5'10"ish Donal Logue:

Not the best pic, but I think it shows that if Donal stood back where Dermot was, that there difference is greater than .75 inches.

Dermot Mulroney is 5'8"-5'9". Not quite 5'9 1/2" though.

in the film "Investigating Sex", there's a scene where he stands facing Terrence Howard (face to face), and he appears perhaps an inch or so shorter than Terrence. So, either Terrence is a tad shorter than his listed 6 feet height or Dermot's a little taller than his own listed height.

I have met him several times at his music gigs - he is a slight, small-boned person but probably exactly as he described, just shy of 5'10". I am 5'2" and have had on 3 inch heels putting me at 5'5" and he was about 4 to 5 inches taller. He is very much a gentleman and indeed very talented.

I just saw him on Saturday night when he played with his brother and James Fernley from The Pogues. I'd say he's right about 5'9 or 5'10. Not very tall but definitely attractive in person. He looks younger than his real age. He's also a very talented musician! He played the cell, the guitar, the keyboard, the harmonica and he sang.

He is clearly at least 5'9", for he is right in the same frame with two tall actresses, Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz and stands about two inches taller than them.
Also, in The Wedding Date, he is taller than Debra Messing, who is also a fairly tall woman, either 5'7" or 5'7 &1/2" . Clearly he is taller. She has on low heels but he is still taller. He's very dapper and a perfect size for an actor actually.

I'm think he means almost 5'10" in shoes. He really appears just shy of 5'9", really. I'm thinking 5'8.5" to 5'8.75" which would make him almost 5'10" in shoes.

Funny you are talking about his height. I just saw him yesterday in my subway car...and all I kept thinking was how small he was. Those movie screens are so deceiving...what grabbed me on the big screen did not move me in real life. Maybe if he had smiled I could have seen something worth holding on too...just sitting there with no expression.

About 5'9". In "The Wedding Date," Debra Messing is in 1 inch heels when you CAN see her shoes, and she's about the same height as him in shoes. I don't know how high his shoes are though, maybe 1 inch? But when you cannot see her footwear, she's 2 inches or so shorter than him.

About 5'9" meaning "less than" 5'9" if only slightly, not "about" meaning "more than" 5'9" lol

i saw him on the wedding date the other day, and he was eye to eye with the leading-role actress(can't remember what her name was?), and it looked like she was wearing 3 - 4 inch heels. sometimes he looks like a 5'11, and sometimes like a 5'8.

No way he's that tall. In one of his movies, the one where he plays a male escort, he's the same size as the lead actress who looks 5'5" if you stretched her out so with the heels that's about 5'8", that's probably where Mulroney is at best. 176 is 5'19".

That seems about right. He was on Friends and stands a few inches taller than Jennifer Aniston who's supposed to be 5'5. I just love Dermot Mulroney--he has this gentleman, scholarly look.
