He is Canadian, not US. Lenad, it`s possible that he wasn`t quite 6-4 peak. Sutherland is one of those few tall guys here that could be listed slightly taller than what they are (or were) in reality.
Two things that don`t fit: Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum being the same height. Goldblum was taller than Sutherland in their film. Now Jeff Goldblum is at least 6-4 and in his peak very possibly more! Sutherland could have been only 6-3

Well, Glenn. To me Sutherland has always seemed to be very tall in the movies I've seen him in. I remember an old horror movie with Peter Cushing -Doctor Terror's House of Horrors- in which DS looks really huge. But, as I said before, I could be a little wrong. Anyway, I would't buy less than 6'4'' for his peak height.
I wouldn`t say so. He looked tall in his own sequence but in the end when he was standing with the supposedly 6-5 Christopher Lee, he was clearly shorter. If he was 6-5, then Lee must have had been as staggering as 6-7! Lee always looked taller than the 6-4 he has claimed in his early career but no way was he ever that tall. Lee could have been a bit more than 6-5 but not much. Sutherland was shorter in the film. At least an inch and probably more.
Sutherland was 6-4 peak, not more but probably not less.

I find it hard to believe that Sutherland was ever 6'4. I'd put him at 6 ft 3 peak height these days doesn't look anything more than 6'2.

I actually do agree with the 6 ft 4 in at peak height. I can support my reasoning whenever I watch MASH. In an earlier scene when he was speaking to Gary Burghoff, he had to nearly bend straight over just to look at him an an eye-to-eye level. I think Burghoff is about five foot six, and I am as well. I have friends that are well over six feet and we look about the same together.

I don't believe that he was ever a full 6'4" either, however, I think you have to give him at least 6'3" peak height( possibly 6'3.5").

I'm currently watching "Cold Mountain", and can't believe how average he looks next to Nicole Kidman and Jude Law,actually he looks the same height as them, so no more than 6ft I would say.

Thats quite suprising 'E' mind you guys on the whole have long bodies and short legs wheras women are the other way round. There are exceptions though, I have a 33 inch inseam and I am only average in height, I do look stupidly out of proportion though unless my shirt is untucked.

I have a really RARE and cool british horror movie from the mid 60's called Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, starring 6'5" (then) Christopher Lee and Donald Sutherland who was maybe .5"-1" shorter than him at most. They were both relatively young. BTW, this was the first AMICUS production anthology movie.

I think it was hard to tell what height Sutherland was in the '70s. He had that mad perm and platform heels. I think he is 6'1" now and was probably 6'2" or maybe a tad more in his youth.

I watched the Dirty Dozen ( 1966/67) again yesterday. 6'6" Clint Walker appears to be 3 inches taller than a young Sutherland. In the same movie, Jim Brown( who was probably 6'2" max or maybe a slight bit shorter), does not look to be significantly shorter than Sutherland; I'd guess about one inch, maybe 1.5 inches. I think that Donald Sutherland's peak height was more likely 6'3.5" and maybe even closer to 6'3".

He was about an inch and a half over Elliot Gould (who's 6'2") in MASH in the
very early 70s. By the Body Snachers movie, he was clearly an inch shorter or
more than 6'4.5" Jeff Golblum. In the 'old men astronaut' movie, he was about
an inch or two taller than the shrunken Clint Eastwood. I'd estimate he was a
solid 6'3.5" in youth (and rounded up to 6'4") and shrunk to 6'3" since then,
could be 6.2.5" now. He appeared about an inch taller than the 6'2" Morgan
Freeman in "Outbreak" some 10 years ago. So this measurement makes sense.

I met Donald Sutherland and shook his hand in San Antonio Florida at Saint Leo University when he was filming the movie "Instinct" with Cuba Gooding Jr..I met both of them and got their autographs which are now currently in my dresser. I am now 18 years old and 6'1, I met Donald and Cuba when I was around 12 or so, I was around 5'5 when I was 12 and I was only up to Mr.Sutherlands chest roughly. I'd say he was atleast 6'4 when I met him 5-6 years ago, he was a very friendly guy and i shook his hand as well as me and my brother ate dinner with him because they grilled burgers at the University. Was a good experience, and he is the only famous actor I have met so far being that I live in a small town in Florida. Any idea where Sutherland is now?

Why don't stubby actors like Kiefer Sutherland have leg bone surgery? Dad Donald must have been broken hearted to see that his kid was so stunted.
Virtually every actress at least considers breast enhancement. Why don't mor actors get heigh enhancement? How long would you be off your feet if you had an inch or two added to your shins? Three months?

Sutherland in N.E Scotland where Donalds' ancestors come from has the tallest male average height in the UK, they are about the same as the Fins and Dutch about 5-11 1/2 average and there are quite a lot of men that look like him up there and they are all around the 6-2 to 6-5 mark so he has the genes and I have no problem in the 6-3 to 6-4 range.

Looked a little taller than Elliot Gould (6'3") in Mash, and certainly within 1-2cm of Goldblum (who was debatably taller than 6'4" back then) in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Also those who comment on his height being similar to that of Geena Davis on Commander in Chief must bare in mind that she most likely has a 1-2" heel advantage on Sutherland. My guess would be around 190cm today.

I saw him several times when I was living in Quebec since 2004. He possesses a big house near a town called Magog. I am 1m79 and he has aproximatively 10cm more than me.

I have watch 1978 body snatcher twice that although sutherland looks about 3cm lower than 193cm jeff goldblum a few scene..but i notice that was no much scene they both standing near and full image screenplay shot of jeff and sutherland stand near.. we can't see the shoe-lift of them.. a must of look out was sutherland hair style was blow up like an inches half to look more close to jeff.. in a few scene that sutherland himself full image with shoe does not looks over 6ft3.. i think that he was push abit height by his hair looks 6ft4 with his shoe on and hair..
nowadays he really looks 6ft(183cm) especially beside his son 175cm kiefer_
his youngerdays looks more like 6ft2 or 6ft1max(187cm)that was firmly true..and slowly push down to 186..185..then 6ft(183) now..
plp who think his a 6ft3 nowadays was kind of weird i think..i agree with ken..
lastly why jeff goldblum in his late 20s in 1978 body snatcher is 6ft4(193) and now still looks a firmly 6ft4(193)nowadays in his 50s.. logically to say that he should be lost 1~3cm.. i remember in jurassic park and THE FLY he always apear like 195(6ft5) or 6ft4max.. 6ft4(193)nowadays was then his real height..

ken, you can't seriously suggest Sutherland is only 5'11''. He might have lost an inch but still must be about 6'3''.

Kenneth, the modern generation of actors might be a bit bigger than those in the 60s. Sutherland might not be as comparitively tall as back then. I have no doubts he was 6'4'' and perhaps has lost an inch with age.

Yes, Kenneth, nowadays he doesn`t look taller than 6`1. But watch Body snatchers; he is as tall as Jeff Goldblum. He was at least 6`3 and a half

He was almost as tall as Jeff Goldblum in "Body snatchers" so he is at least 6`3, and I think a little bit over that. Now he doesn´t look that tall. I also remember him in the Oscars years ago next to his son Kiefer. Donald dwarfed Kiefer

It was in 1996's Hollow Point. It was a movie he did with Tia Carrere (who is 5'8" because I was right beside her) and that 6'5" Thomas Ian Griffith who started on the soap opera Another World.

Editor Rob ah, cool. I agree with Tia...she didn't have same posture as me in that pic on her page, but is indeed 5ft 8...

I work part-time as an actor and I did a scene with Donald Sutherland. His stand-in was 6'2" but had to wear cowboy boots to be Donald's 6'3". He is 6'3" without a doubt.

Editor Rob is this in last few years or a while ago? Recently I'm not sure if he's looking just as tall as he was

in doctor terrors house of horrors theres a brief scene when he is standing next to 6'5" Christopher Lee, and looks only slightly smaller, which makes him about 6'4"

I think he may have been 6'4" as a young man, but he's always had very, very bad posture, so he sometimes looks like 6'2" max. next to other actors.

Yesterday i saw the film called "The dirty dozen" and there is a scene in which
he is standing next to Clint 6'6" Walker. Sutherland was very young in 1967 and
there is no way he is 6'4", maybe 6'2.5"
