Greg Kinnear's Height
5ft 9 ½ (176.5 cm)
American actor best known for roles in films such as As Good as it Gets, Little Miss Sunshine, Heaven is for Real and Stuck on You. He said in InStyle magazine, "I'm 5'10", but there's something about that six-foot mark with clothes. So I try and find suits that stay slim to the body. It gives more elevation"

If I remember correctly 5'9.5 Damon edged him in stuck on you. 5'9.25. Very surprised at the average guess.

I have worked on the tv series "Rake" twice. The first time potraying a minister at their father's funeral. The second time portraying a lawyer with a DUI. During the latter... I was on this court set with him and he was standing around eight feet from me. Wearing a business suit with what seemed like standard Oxford dress shoes. Perhaps his hair was styled a certain way. Perhaps there could have been lifts in his shoes. I stand around 6'1" without shoes. That day I was wearing my own dress shoes (around 1 1/4"). Mr. Kinnear seemed to be at least 5'10", but not quite 5'11". So... perhaps he is around 5' 10 1/2"?

Editor RobIt certainly would be rare for an actor to round down to claiming 5ft 10, assuming he was 5ft 10.5

Rob did you notice he looked a bit shorter than Jack Nicholson in As Good as It Gets? Odd, did Jack have lifts on in the film or something? He looked 5'10 range in comparison.

I stood next to him at a Vegas casino a few years ago. I'm 5 ft. 6 in. and he DEFINATELY isn't more than 1 inch taller than me, if that. But he is a good-looking man in person.

Absolutely no way is he 5'10". I put him closer to 5'8". Just look at him next to Tina Fey in Baby Mama- take away her heels and he is AT MOST 3-4" taller than her. She is short, about 5' 5". Do the math.

Looked at least an inch shorter than 5'10" listed Billy Bob Thornton in Bad News Bears. If Billy is 5'10", Greg may be closer to 5'9".

He must be kidding himself. He always looked 174cm. He is pretty much same height with steve carrel. To be honest they both looked 5 foot 8 in little miss sunshine unless toni collette is 5 foot 7 which i doubt. He was taller than katie holmes and in loser slightly taller than jason biggs. He is a weird guy to judge. Katie holmes is at least 5 foot 8.5. 177cm is about right. Steve carrell is a solid 5 foot 9 if kinnear is 177cm.

Watching Invincible, and next to Wahlberg (who is listed 5ft8 here, but imo is 5ft7.5) he was 1.5/2" taller then him. So 5ft9/5ft9.5 is about right.

No way is he under 5'10"...look at him next to Katie Holmes in "The Kennedys". She's 5'9" and in heels and he's STILL taller. I'll try to post some pictures later.

He and Damon fluctuate around the same height, sometimes Kinnear is the taller one, sometimes the shorter, they are both around 5'9.5

i tend to only take note of the celebs that are very close to my height in person (5'7"). i give him 5'8" and that is generous. i have stood face to face with him and was surprised to see him listed on here at 5'9.5". i will say, he was respectful and pleasant to deal with.

I don't get it because he's definitely taller than Matt Damon who's listed on here as 5'10", so one of those estimates is undoubtedly wrong.

Roger Ebert appears to be slouching in that photo with Kinnear. His head is a lot lower than Kinnear's.

I'm confused why he's listed anything over 5'9", which would be the absolute top of the square, IMO.

Anyone see Little Miss Sunshine? Kinnear looks as tall as Steve Carell in it and isn't Carell 5'8"? Kinnear may have been taller, but only by small margin.

No way Kinnear is 5'10. He was considerable shorter than Cuba Gooding Jr (5'10) and about an inch shorter than our man Jack Nicholson (who's listed here at celebheights as being 5 ft. 8.5.

Pierce Brosnan says he is 6' 1", and it fits against all the other actors I've seen him with whose heights I've known. Greg Kinnear used to host an early morning talk show, half-hour, on which he always appeared to be about the same height as the guest. I found this intriguing & hilarious. Maybe it's why Gemini is called "the chameleon sign." Found Kinnear pretty hilarious, too. Happy so see him gone on to such success. Kinnear is a Scottish name, but he grew up in Greece.

I adore Greg Kinnear's work and have enjoyed it way back to his Talk Soup days. While on a tour of E Entertainment studios in California, visited the Talk Soup set and was happy to be able to see Mr Kinnear prepping for his show in the control room. I am 5'10.5" and we did not see eye to eye... I remember thinking to myself, "Gosh, he's not very tall...I thought he'd be taller". Very nice man but he kids himself if he suggests he is 5'10" with a straight face. 5'8" I'd say.

I just saw this guy a couple weeks ago on my trip in Maui, in a restaurant called David pauls, and this guy is really smaller then I thought, he is definitely closer to 5'9" then 5'10". I was trying to work out why he would have been in Maui, but then I saw on TV that he was there for the Pro Am golf tournament. Besides his height, he does look pretty fit and well.

Kinnear is slighty taller than Jack Nichsolson and Robert De Niro who are both 5 ft 8 to 5 ft 9. I think that Kinnear is 176-7 cm.

This is not a good photograph, but I can assure you Rebecca Romijn-Stamos is quite clearly 1.5-2 inches taller than Kinnear. They tried to make him look as tall or taller than her in certain scenes, but in a lot of scenes it is obvious she is easily taller than him. She was also wearing normal shoes. The movie is "The Godsend." http://www.archivodvd.com/archivo/g/godsend/godsend_01.jpg
How tall is Ashlee Judd? He was 1-1.5 inches taller than her.
