Most likely 5'7.25 (171cm). Theres no chance judging from the photo with Rob that hes any shorter.

He was on the latest episode of Pickard. Patrick Stewart was taller but not by much. I guess that makes PS about 5ft7.5 these, given his age probably about right.

Looks more 5'6" with Rob in the first pic, but closer to 5'7" in the bottom.

@whats with all the hate?,
Well, from my experience, the most common height that I see out on the street is 5'6-5'8 range. Where I'm from, it seems to be the average height. Since I wake up at 5'10.5, and will be 5'10 flat by lunchtime, I'm usually taller than most blokes I see. Except at university, I feel solid average here, but can also feel above average. It's easy to see 5'9-5'11 in a crowd. At night, or really after six and a half hours, I'll measure 5'9.75, which for being closer to 5'10 than 5'9, I round up and claim 5'10. 5'7 is more weak average, where I see 5'8 as being average and 5'9 is solid average, and 5'10 and 5'11 is strong average. Well, an argument can be made for 5'10 and 5'11 being above average height based on geography and demographics.

James is a perfect example of the '2-inches' Height inflation, that many actors fall prey to.

nicknames just a nickname, but I do think that 5'7-8 range is pretty similar. 5'6, 5'9, and 6'0 are the points where it becomes solid short medium and tall. inch above 5'6 does make a magical difference, although it really isnt that much. proportionally, it seems much better. especially being only 2 inches shorter than 5'9, you can blend in as average easily. 3 inch difference is quite noticeable.

@what's with all the hate? Well to me both legitimate 5'6 and 5'7 range guys look short and 5'8 range guys (like Rob) below average. 5'9 to 5'11 range looks completely average, neither short nor tall.
Not hate, just stating my personal observations, but many people that I clearly see here have a problem accepting different opinions.

Editor Rob
Rob, why are you about 2 inches taller than jenny here?
Editor Rob sometimes one person might not stand as tall, other times they do. Sometimes a camera can have a little distortion aswell - the way the lense is shaped, certain zooms or wide angles can enhance/reduce some of the image.
in that double shot it's just poorer stance than me.

Gotta agree with the other posters. I am not seeing 5'7" here. Looks like a near two inch height disparity between Rob and James.

If he's really 170cm barefoot, Rob wouldn't look 5'10 in the top picture. He's around 168-169cm barefoot.

Looks more like 5'6 in these photos. Also I think Lucy Lawless is 5'9 with Tricia Helfer 5'10 although I've noticed variations between these two in a few pics where sometimes Lawless appears taller. This will be dependant on the size of heels at the time.

Editor Rob I thought you didn't watch tv, galatica is a good show I thought. Callis we got to talk to in the meet/greet thing aswell as auto's and listen to his talk. He's a pleasant chap.
scroll down to "Editor Rob says on 8/Dec/08", that's still one of my favorite moments at a con. A bursting my gut trying not to laugh moment.

Well if Callis is to be downgraded to under 5.7" as some people are suggesting, then Sackhoff has to be downgraded from 5'6.25" as she's listed. He's at least an inch taller than her, as seen in the photos I posted a link to. He's taller than her even though she's wearing heels.

Whatever your explanation is for your height Rob. You are a clear 2inches above james Callis's height is 5 ft 7 in top shot and you are leaning in. If you were straight I'd swear you looked 5ft10 here.

Editor Rob I gave her that range, but the more I have measured her under all sorts of different times of day and working/non working days, I think I would call her 5ft 8.25 as her low.

Editor Rob Jenny gets her photo first. I can observe against 5ft 8.25 Jenny how tall Callis looks. Then we have a double shot, so Jenny goes round the other side and stands more with a foot a bit forward and one a bit back. She done the exact same thing when we got a double shot with another actress that day.

Well Rob says James Callis is 5'7". I asked him if 5'6.5 is possible and he replied: "I wouldn't rule it out" . So to me James Callis is between 5'6.5 and 5'7" inches. Thats the closest I will ever get to knowing how tall this or any other person listed on celebheights is. Whatever Glenn,Rob,Mamun or anybody else states: These are ALL without exceptions: estimates. Very close ones. Sure. But still estimates. We should never forget that. For any listed height on this site there is a room for error that is at least 0.5 inch.

Another strange thing is that Don Felder Click Here has about the same inches on Glenn like you on James. And on this site you describe that James looks only an inch shorter than you although he is almost two inches shorter in fact. And on the site with Glenn, you write that Don Felder is almost three inches taller than Glenn although they have about the same height difference like you to James as mentioned. I guess you need a good reason to convinve me otherwise, many of your height estimations are fakes. Sorry to say it.

Editor Rob sometimes it can be hard to tell in photos if a person is losing height with loose posture in their back or neck. It's more blatant if they are leaning.
I am dropping a little height and James is dropping a little height by not standing like sly. And in the double Jenny got caught short with a poor stance, she's lost 1.5 inches.
Maybe Don is losing more height in posture than glenn?

I've seen Callis listed as 5'8, but in every BattleStar Galactica shot with Callis standing next to Sackhoff (Starbuck) they are *exactly* the same height. I've seen them in shots where they are both walking so boxes weren't used, however, you don't see their feet in those shots so there is still room for speculation.

The guy looks short next Tricia Helfer but obviously she is a legit 5'10 inch woman who wears heels alot. He's definately the shortest male of the main cast though so I do think he's 5'7ish.
Is it me or does this show have the tallest female cast ever? Tricia Helfer 5'10, Grace Park and Lucy Lawless 5'9, katee Sackhoff and nicki clyne 5'6ish, mary mcdonell 5'8ish.
