Ed looks the height rob listed him at. When you guys say 5-9 reaches your eye brows are you saying that reaches the top of the brows, middle, or bottom?

Editor RobI'd usually think towards the middle or top rather than bottom.

@Zampo That's quite interesting. It goes to show such small fractions are irrelevant in real life when it comes to height perception because they're hard to detect without a measuring tape. To get a good indication of your height facial proportions are quite accurate assuming you have a normal head length and eye level. I'm about an inch taller than you so 5'9 reaches my eyebrow, therefore straight away I'd be perceived as 6'1 in photos on here and by others around me despite being around 6'0.5-0.75 at a low.

@Rob, I think Edi has a similar advantage to myself where the distance between our mid-eye levels to eyebrow is nearer if not 0.75 inch (my case 1.9 cm) rather than the standard 0.5 inch. 5'8 comes to my eyebrow and I have a 9 inch head so most people guess me as a strong 6'0, as you can imagine I would look it comfortably in photos however I am technically closer to 5'11.75 than 6'0. In fact much nearer to 182 cm on very active days which are common for me.
On the other hand I may be completely wrong and Edi is indeed a big six footer. I haven't met him and with your superior knowledge in height, you are in a far better position to assess.

Still back my last post. I can buy he may measure this listing at lunchtime. I feel like David Labrava would edge Edi by a 1/4 inch, so a flattish/solid 6'0 (182.8-183.2 cm) is fair him.

Editor RobI think Edi generally looks 6ft plus, sometimes he might look 6ft 1 to people in person, though I would still say 6ft and a fraction is quite possible.

He's pretty tall for a Kenyan man :Click Here could it be that growing up in THE USA helped him grow nearly a half foot taller than the average Kenyan man...I always thought he was too short to play Darwin in X-MEN:DAYS OF FUTURE PAST but too tall to play Laurent in the Twilight Movies.

Think he is a flat six footer. Above the 183 cm mark but closer to 183 cm than 184 cm, probably a hair of 6'0 in the afternoon.

Generally he looks over 6ft, you couldn't rule out a full 184cm.

A big tall hat like that can often throw things off when guessing height differences, but you can tell by his eyelevel that he isn't 6'1"

Hi Rob , I have to say , in the image up top of Edi with you and Jen he looks a decent 6'1" (185 cm) .I also saw your image with Stephen Amell who you rate at 6'1" and Edi looks about the same height range as him standing next to you.I have also done an experiment to determine the effect wearing a cap has on height and found that it can knock a bit of height off so what made you put him at 6'0.5"rather than 6'1"?

Editor Rob Sully, a trucker cap certainly can give more than a tight baseball cap. Edi didn't seem as tall as 6ft 1.

Hi Rob, In an episode of The Blacklist , he looked exactly an inch taller than Ryan Eggold who you rate as 183cm 6ft so i think Edi is a solid 6ft1 , please google some pics of Ryan Eggold with Edi Gathegi ,and analyse it.Thanks.

Edi was born in Kenya by Kenyan parents but he grew up in the US, so both you and Rob are right :)

Edi looks to edge out Ackles. Edi is a legit 6'0 and may measure a hair over while Ackles looks to be 5'11.5 range

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Nov/13
I think Ackles could pull off 184-185cm range in Supernatural. But a weak 6ft is probably the more likely outcome. Gathegi is definitely the stronger 6ft.
Probably 1in taller than Gil Birmingham

Shouldn't his description mention his role as "big love" on House, it is by far his most well know role, I immediately saw him, and recognized him, didn't even realize he was on Twilight as well. And the listing is perfect, btw.

Editor Rob yeah I can mention his recent tv show aswell as House, I'm slowly working through these listings rewording the descriptions a little, but with 6000+ it takes time ;)

Editor Rob edi I think is more of a stronger 6ft, but ackles the 2 conventions I seen him (he didn't stand the second time) he was wearing big boots, the kind that can turn a 182-3 guy into a 183-4 guy...

rightly so, his scalp is roughly in line with g in 'twilight' that is 4 inches above the white lady

Jake Gathegi edge out Ackles by a little bit if Edi is a strong 6 footer then Ackles is a weak one and I think he is

seems as tall as #10
considering the footwear advantage then 6ft 0.25in is spot on.

No problem...and Cranberries, 6ft should never be considered small or average. In almost every country in the world it is accepted as being tall.
