Such a brilliant role in "Watchmen", looked athletic and muscular. One of the strongest personages of this movie.

165cms!

I distinctly remember this little guy from 'Shutter Island', giving a most impressive performance. And now that I see he was also in the disturbing film 'Little Children', it doesn't take much working out to recall who he played.

I happen to know that his height hasn't prevented him from enormous success in front of the camera and he is also happily married! Nice one Jackie!

He gets 5ft5.

They used some trucks to make him appear taller as Freddy in the film from 2010? In scenes in which he is in front of Katie Cassid, he looks to be at minimum 10 cm taller than her, who in real life has 1,70m.

Whatever his height may be, I wouldn't challenge him to engage in a bout of kickboxing.

I was wondering because the other day I watched Watchmen at a friends and notice he was kind of a short guy, but in A Nightmare On Elm Street (which I'd watched first) he appeared to be at least 5'11

Who cares about Jackie Earle Haley's height? He's a brilliant actor so height is truly irrelevant! I've loved the man since Breaking Away. He's one of the great actors!

Anyway, in the role of Freddy Krueger, they did grow up to 6 feet.

Apparently his character in Watchmen (Rorschach) was only 5'6". Interesting, I wasn't expecting the actor to be short.

It's great to see that a 5'5 guy had such a powerful role in a movie like Watchmen. He really had presence. Everyone was afraid of him. I initially thought that character was tall but I noticed he was short in the scene in prison.

"After his teen success, only growing to 5-foot-5 meant there were no leading-man roles for the adult Haley"

That's a strange comment. Think of Pacino, Schwarzman, Hoffman, Michael J Fox, Alan Ladd, etc., Guys his size are in the smallest 5% percentile or so for American men, but I'd imagine they fill at LEAST 5% of leading roles. No?

If you're a great actor, you're a great actor. I think history has proved that the last place you'll find a major height bias is on the Hollywood screen.

His height makes him ideal for the part of Rorschach in the upcoming Watchmen film. Rorschach is only 5 ft 6, and he wears platform shoes.

Rob - thanks for adding. Just happened to see a lot of him lately, and I remember him from lots of movies/shows in the 70's. It's nice to see a guy make a comeback, but you gotta wonder about his 5'5" claims...

Editor Rob
he could be 5ft 4.5ish, I will have a look sometime at him
