🎉🎂🍻🎁 Happy Birthday Elias! 🎁🍻🎂🎉
A Very Happy 59th Birthday to the instantly recognizable Elias Koteas, whose list of credits is quite staggering, and includes 'The Prophecy', with Christopher Walken, 'The Killer Inside Me', with Casey Affleck and 'Lost Souls', with Winona Ryder, as well as those mentioned above. He deserves the most fantastic Birthday for making so many exciting films; I have loads of them!
My Birthday Guess for Elias will be 5ft10.75. 😋👌

I am watching Elias in one of the weirdest film ideas ever! Called simply 'Crash', and written for the screen and directed by David Cronenburg, it is a tale of crash survivors, of whom Elias is the instigator of the view that surviving a car crash is an erotic experience and thereafter you might as well live for the day and do everything with anyone, male or female, because life is for the living!
It is, of course, immensely more complex than that, and by no means sweetness and light. I am not even halfway through the film, and I suspect there is a far darker side to his character than the happy-go-lucky seducer of men and women, who sports his scars like trophies and re-enacts accidents. You should just see them - they're horrific - and he has just had them glamorised with tattoos!
Now unlike co-star James Spader, Elias DOES look above average in height, and it was comparing James to Elias that convinced me that James was merely average, as I did have a vague idea of Elias's height, having seen him recently in 'Shutter Island'.
I will settle for 5ft10.5.

Good actor often very creepy but loved him as kc and in prophecy.
He is at least 5 10 and quite possibly the half actually appeared taller than viggo.
Weirdly walken seemed over 6 ft so maybe bad reference point..
He does look a solid average or higher in most movies hes in.
Forget where but he has looked about 6 ft in boots in something..

In films he doesn't appear above 178 cm. I think 5ft 10in flat for Koteas.

You know, I find it funny that he is shorter than Steve Martin in Novacaine cause he sure did look taller than him.

Editor Rob looks like average heel there, so 1.5 maybe advantage to her compared to elis had, so probably 169 or 170 is fair assuming 179cm. Lol, I'd forgotten what Splinter was like, poor rat tied up in chains, someone call PETA!

Rob , I don't want you to add anybody , but I just want you to tell me what your height guess is on the guy who played The Shredder and the film ? ...
Go to 2:40 on this video and they show The Shredder next to 5'8 ( listed ) Master Tatsu ! ... What do you think ? ... about 5'10 ???

Editor Rob ah, the shredder maybe is deserving of being added, that helmet though, its hard to say, didn't he have little thicker boots? I'll add him though at 5ft 9, not convinced he'd be a 5ft 10er

The last movie I saw was 300 ! ... I have not seen Zodiac ! ... mmm , I think Elias could be a 5'11 morning guy ! ... For some odd reason I thought he looked in the 5'8 - 5'9 range at best ! ... Heres a clip from TMNT 1990 with 5'5 Josh Pais who played Raphael and Elias gives the impression that there close in height ! ... Although really not ! ...

I don't know if this is right. He was at least 2 inches taller than Steve Martin in Novacaine.

I would have said he was taller (looking at him standing next to other actors like Christopher Walken and Bruce Greenwood), maybe six foot.
