Dominic Keating's Height
5ft 8 (172.7 cm)
English actor, best known for playing Malcolm Reed on Star Trek: Enterprise. In the Collectormania photo, he had about 1/3rd of an inch less sneaker than me.

Connor and Anthony [Montgomery] and Scott [Bakula] are big strapping, corn-fed fellas. I'm fairly fit -- by English standards -- but these guys, they're six foot and all muscle. I'm not even 5-foot 10-inches.

@Christian 6'5 3/8" I believe 'cool' in the sense that it's a height which should be embraced, regardless of whether it is tall or not. It's not to say that particular height is better than another. That's what I take from it anyway.

@Nik
There are some heights that the majority of men may prefer over others, but that still doesn't make them "cool". Even I don't consider my ideal (6'2"-6'3") as cool either. That doesn't mean that one shouldn't be confident or embrace the height that they are though. I was almost ashamed of being taller than most of my peers during most of grade school. I didn't really embrace my tallness until graduating.

@ Christian 6'5 3/8" - At least you are consistent and so am I! What I don't agree with is people saying some heights are cool and other heights aren't! I think that your height is cool too but you mustn't agree!

I met him in 2014 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, during the "Destination Star Trek" at the Frankfurt Fair grounds (Messe). I never took an Autograph from anybody, and this time it was for a friend of mine, who couldn't attend the event. Anyway, his booth was kinda empty (while Shatner's booth had a line all the way back to the entrance of the massive fair hall - 200 yards away or something; must have been an enormous dampening factor for anyone's ego except for Shattner's, that is). Connor Trineer was right at the next booth, also empty; having his feet lifted up onto a table; chewing bubble-gum. Michael Dorn (Worf) in the booth next to him with Suzie Plakson (Worf's first mate and mother of his son, Alexander, in the Show) walking back and forth between Rick Berman and Michael Dorn. Rene Auberjonois (Constable Odo) had kind of a long line and Tim Russ (Tuvok) was super communicative - really active. I had the impression everyone else of the various Trek cast was bored, but Russ really engaged with the fans.
Anyway, I was thinking about from whom I should take an Autograph and was going back and forth from Dorns and Auberjonois's booth. I opted for Keating's booth, because he looked so lonely (well, he talked to a pretty german girl working for the event, so he wasn't that "lonely" after all). Thing is, I never took an autograph so I didn't know how the specifics had to be done to get it, and I just talked about that one scene when Reed was fighting that one Maco in the Gym onboard the Enterprise. I figured he would have to tell a story about that, and he did. He talked about the choreographer that went to the set for one day and helped both actors to get this scene done, and I feigned interest to this story (I just wanted to be nice, you know; I'm really not that kind of a Star Trek Fan). Anyway, he actually asked me why I didn't took an autograph from Dorn or any of the other more prominent Trek actors, I said: "Well, ya know... everyone got an autograph of Dorn, or Spiner... or Trineer" (Trineer stopped chewing his bubble gum; looked at me, then at Keating (who was broadly smiling, because I was just joking); didn't smile; put on his 1000 yards stare again; continued chewing bubble gum and opted to ignore us entirely) - "but an autpgraph of Dominic Keating - well that's special!". He was smiling broadly, signed the picture for a friend of mine and that was it. He stood up to shake hands with me. Two things stood out for me: 1.) He had a lot of wrinkles in his face (We all get old, I am no expection, but it was still kind of a surprise), and 2.) He was incredibly tiny.
Well, I guess, it's easy for me to say that, because I am a 6'4'' dude (exactly 193cm mid-day - maybe a bit more in the morning) and I estimate him to be a 5'7' to 5'8 max.

Seems like he's leaning some in the two photos with Rob. I'll give him the 5'8" flat.

He is below 5'8". As you can see in the photos how he turned his body by placing his leg closer to the camera so he can appear bigger. Lot of actors use this trick. Van Damme did this to me.

Editor Rob it's a trick I've not seen many do, guys like Christian Kane and Norman Reedus are the 2 guys I know purposefully moved forward just before a shot was taken, can't remember many others doing it...

Whoa, if he has 1/4 inch advantage over Jenny and still about 1/2 inch shorter, somethings not right with a 5-8 listing. I agree with most comments, he's closer to 5-7.5 clearly.

i agree with the comments...Dominic looks 172cm at best. his eye level is slightly before rob's, add is his shoulder level. i think Dominic should be downgraded a little but.

The reason he can look as low as you all are saying is that in reality Rob is a legit 5'8.25" as i watched all his youtube videos and he measures that in every single one of them. An american doctor would likely get him at 5'8.5" or close to it if he went there on his way to work in the morning. he shaves a quarter inch off his typical height. robs listings of celebs are at the absolute minimum they dip down to in his mind, despite making no claims of whether he goes by a morning or an evening measurement.
if this guy went to the doctor on his way to work hed get bang on 5'8" and he likes dips a little below the mark. may get out of bed at 5'8.25"

Based on eye level, he still appears shorter than you, Rob. With the 1/3 height disadvantage, I would still peg him about a 1/2 shorter than you. Then again, with the lean in, its hard to tell.

Rob, this is how I pictured Glenn would measure up to you. If you measure a little over 5'8.5 in the morning, Keating likely hits 5'8.25 or so, wouldn't you agree?

ooh, he looks 5'9 in heroes and prison break, it's because of his slim figure. But yes, the picture clearly shows he is about 5'8, probably 5'7.75 on the dot.

Both look same height (without taking footware into account). Dominic is leaning slightly into the picture. By the way, he's great in Star Trek, my favourite non-sexy-female character (lol). But I am British, too, so I'm biased. I like the way he talks.

Editor Rob he was good on that show, my fave episodes were the In the Mirror Darkly ones, wish they could have done a few more in that type of Universe.

well it doesn't matter how big your head is when comes to how tall you are. Your head could be the size of a watermelon, but it doesn't matter. You height is measured to the top of your head. You don't take off height or add height just because there's a discrepancy in head size between two people. I'd say strong 5'7 or 5'7.5 from this pic unless there is a significant difference in posture or footwear.
