by looking from tip head to tip head of J. August Richard and rob i don't see 7" different. he maybe 6'3 in real not so sure for this guy. but up here can't deny he looks a solid 6'2.5
Yeah, I'm not quite seeing 7 inches...but it's very close. He is leaning, though. I see just under 6'3.

Stood about 6 ft from Mr.Richards at the 2018 Indianapolis ComicCon. He had Timberland-style hiking boots, and I had on very thin soles Chuck Taylor converse. We were about “eye-to-eye” (perhaps I hade a very small edge on him). An easy 6’3 for him!

@Rampage I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see this guy measure a full 3/4 inch over Well/Routh. Maybe an inch but that's pushing it and much less likely.

Who looked taller, Zachary Levi or J. August Richards?
Editor Rob
They are hard to distinguish , neither really seems under 6ft 3.

This guy would edge Welling and Routh...more chance of a fraction over than under 6ft3

I don't feel Chris Hemsworth is a match from August. Chris maybe his agency listed low 190cm and August was a guy does not fall below 6'3.

I think August is 6'3 flat/on the dot. There was a video he did with Chris Pine, and Pine as a solid 6ft guy only looked about 2.25 - 2.5 inches shorter.

Yeah, he's taller than Tom Welling, since Rob did say J was easily taller than Brandon Routh.
Maybe Rob could give J August Richards a 6'3 1/8" listing, but there should be a specific quote or source that would support the potential listing.

Editor RobI've yet to see Tom, so couldn't say...except in person I'd estimate J as 6ft 3 range, not less than that.

This is a very believable listing, in fact he may be 6 ft 3 and change!

Rob, Richard could be a 6'3 1/4 guy that i doubt maybe not flat 6'3 as you listed Reed Diamond at 6'0 1/4. I can see solid 3" between them not 2.75".
Click Here: Look 3.25" taller than 6'0.25" Reed Diamond but Richard had like 1/4 more shoe advantage.
Click Here: check out both of their footwear here. Reed had a converse style looking about 0.8" and Richard had a 1.2" looking running shoes on.

Editor RobAlways a chance of a little over 6ft 3 for J, Reed I think could always lose a fraction more in posture there.

I know you said he looked legit 6ft3, but he never looks 6-7cm taller than Alexis! I always thought he might dip a little under 6'3, I think a flat 190cm is likely now...

Currently watching Angel on Netflix. JAR had several inches on Angel and Wesley both around 6'0.5"-6'1.25" was also taller then Lorne aka as the late great Andy Hallett who is listed at 6'2". I think 6'3" for sure.

Yeah, 6'3" flat. Kind of a small guy for his height. I agree with you, Rob; he's closer up, making his head look much larger than it actually is. If it were to ever come to the cloth measuring tape, I bet Rob's head is bigger than this guy's.

Matt, Rob's head is almost 2" shorter than J.A.R.'s!! isn't that right Rob?
Editor Rob

Editor Rob Maybe 2cm in that photo, but you are comparing one head that might be a little bit more tilted down (thus elongating it compared to the one looking dead on)...and also one that is nearer the camera - the shadow on the right side of my head is a bit of a clue there as to whose head is nearer and blocking out some light ;)
you can see it on the christian kane photo aswell where I'm in J's position but the shadowing is on the left hand side of my face...again because Christian was nearer. One of the few celebrities I've seen who moved nearer the camera.
Unfortunately only a smaller % of shots have double lighting so it's harder for people to tell if someone's head is nearer with just a single light.
The smaller your head the easier it is to get away with being nearer a camera and nobody noticing.

even in this photo robs head is only slightly smaller but richards is leaning toward the camera and leaning his head down to make it look larger than it is, i bet robs head might even be bigger

He looked very tall in Angel, i thought 6'4-6'5 maybe because of his lanky frame but he's actually just about my height. He might be even 6'3.25-6'3.5 (191-191.5cm) with proper posture here with Rob, however 6'3 is pretty much accurate i guess.
Anyway I think he's more than 1" taller than Eric Balfour.
