I date a guy that sort of looked like him and appeared to be around the same height/weight but he claimed 6 foot 2. Hey Rob out of curiosity where would someone that's 172cm go on someone like James (assuming my 184cm guess) Slightly above their eye level maybe? I was just above my ex's eye level for sure.

Any guesses under what Rob has him listed at are delusional. I’d personally have him at 6’1 but can see Rob’s reasoning for 3/4.

I genuinely believe this man was a full 6”1, 185cm. He had a terrible hunchback posture which made him look shorter, he was probably 6”2 standing straight in shoes, probably why he’s listed as 6”2.
His posture makes him appear shorter than he actually was in photos. I have an uncle with the same posture, he’s clearly taller than me I’d give him 189cm, but in photos he only looks marginally taller than me, like 185/186cm, sometimes we even look the same height. Most people slouch and don’t stand their full height, but this is more than a slouch this is a hunch.
Gandolfini gets a full 6”1 for me.

Those high set shoulders always gave the impression of him being taller.. & so many say he was over 6ft.. But in reality .. J.G. wasn;t over 5ft 11.

220lbs is definitely about right for a 90’s/Pre-Sopranos Gandolfini.
Easily gained 100bs+ from season 1 through to season 6

Jordan87 is absolutely right, I don't like the idea of Gandolfini only being 6ft. It shatters the illusion of Tony Soprano's hulking presence. He has to be taller even if a single photo refutes it

Gando is more than 2" Shorter than Ben.
If this was a talent page, rather than a height page I would prop Gando up very very high.
He's 6'0, Not 6'1 or 6'1".
Earlier he was shown to be 2" shorter than a listed 6'2 Marco Battaglia, and nobody likes it for some reason. Sorry.
His posture wasn't the best, but this picture Click Here They both have good posture and last I checked Affleck wasn't 6'4 lol

Ben is standing behind James and hunching. That's not a good picture at all.
The One I posted has them both Standing straight face to face.
As far as your Denzel Picture, You picked an odd one. Look at the other pictures in that Same Link. Yes Gando Is taller than Denzel, But Not Close to the 6'1 Obama in comparison.
Gando is not 6'1

I would argue he is easily over 6'0, 6'2 is definitely questionable, but as already mentioned, he had a rly bad posture, and didn't seem to stand up straight in any of his pics which make it difficult to know.

Just Because he was a tremendous actor and Talent, and a good man as well, doesn't mean he has to be 6'1". The Cast of the SOpranos with the exception of Furio and Bobby were all short men. As In, Not even 5'8. Paulie was maybe 5'8 ( He was older), Chris and Sil didnt break 5'7, Johhny Sac was not even 5'10, trust me.

James was easily a 6-1 to 6-2 guy who because of his poor slumped over posture and neck stood at 6 feet flat. Not to mention his weight.

I saw him back in 02-03, i had a height complex so i had to ask him how tall he was, and he said he was somewhere in the 6 ft 1 range
But he wasnt that much taller than me, maximum 2 inches ( I am 5 ft 10 by the way ) and i think that he is not taller than 6 ft, so i would say clean 6 footer here !
Great actor by the way

James looked like a man mountain next to Patricia Arquette in 'True Romance'. In fact, even standing next to the other Mafia members in the same film, he looked extremely large in more than just build, but height as well.
I was quite surprised to find he was 'only' 6ft1; that's the height I found when I first visited his page, I'm 95% sure.
Some well-built guys like James can appear shorter, but in James's case, he looked notably taller. I'd have thought he was pushing 6ft3 when I first came here.
I can't go below 6ft1. 🕯️

Stiggles, I would say he was Closer to 5'11.5" than 6'1" People " Want him to be".
The man was a Great Actor and a wonderful human being but He was about 6'0 Tall ( as His mug shot in the show had him at. Also He was listed at 6'0.5" on most of his bios. 6'1" Is most certainly out of the question.
@ Paddy,
He was a strong 6'0, not over 6'0.25". 6'1 is a Troll attempt as much as 5'11.5, so be careful.

Gandolfini could look the full 6’1” at times but in The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3, I thought Denzel Washington was just a shade taller than Gandolfini and I doubt Washington was ever the full 6’1”. My peak estimate for Gandolfini remains 6’0.5”, he was roughly the same height as John Turturro.

It doesn't seem possible that James hasn't been with us for 7 years now. He passed on on this day in 2013, aged 51 and three-quarters, his Birthday being on the 18th September.
One truly underrated film of his was 'The Juror', a 1996 film in which he starred alongside Demi Moore as a menacing Mafia member, not unlike the part he played in 'True Romance'. The Mafia have chosen single Mum Demi Moore to influence the jury, of which she is a member, to find one of their clan not guilty of murder, or else! It's an excellent thriller, also starring Alec Baldwin and Anne Heche. This film and 'True Romance' contributed to my thinking James was taller than 6ft and three-quarters of an inch, by around 2".

Marco Battaglia was listed in his pre draft profile as 6'2" tall. He has Gandolfini by 2-1/2" and Gando has good posture.

He is around the same height as Vin Deisel who himself is not 6'0 tall. Gando is not 6'1. This takes away nothing from his talent and what a Great man he was. ( His Documentary with the Wounded Soldiers was Amazing )
Point 1. James was a Great actor, Hulking man, and huge talent. Great Man!
Point 2. He was not over 6'0 tall. He had a mug shot in the show in front of a height chart and was 6'0 ( In His Shoes).
Point 3. He is shorter than a proven 6'2" man by more than 2".
Point 4. He is not much taller than Vin Diesel who is not 6'0, 5'11.5" tops.
Point 5. Stop with all the nonsense about height bc it has nothing to do with talent. He was extremely talented, does not mean he has to be over 6'0 tall. 6'1" is total BS.

6ft ¾ in seems correct with his normal posture. This was a large person. Shocking to see just how big he looked next to Tom Hardy. Certainly an inch over six foot if he stood tall I think.

Rob, I feel he was a solid 6'1. Looks, 6'1.5 to me. I watched all 6 seasons of the sopranos and a lot of his movies. He had a very bad posture, which may make him look shorter than he really was. He's noticably taller than legit 6'0 prime tom hanks, and brad pitt 5'11, even with his bad posture!

Editor Rob6ft 1 range is arguable for him, he may well have measured on it.

The full 6ft1 is possible. Looked it in the earlier seasons of The Sopranos when he wasn’t as heavy and in earlier movies like Get Shorty.
Arguably you could give Gandolfini 6ft1 and Steve Schirripa 6ft1½

I really think James Gandolfini standing straight would have measured in the 185-186cm range. He’s listed as 186cm on google, and I wouldn’t really argue with that. Even with his terrible posture I doubt he’d measure under 6 foot, whereas a 184cm guy with a bad posture could measure 182. I’m going for a solid 6”1 for the bigman.

Gandolfini has the same posture as my uncle, he turtule ducks his head down. I believe he would be 185cm standing straight. My uncle is 189cm but slouches and can often look shorter than he is, but when he stands tall you realise he's a big guy. 185cm for Ganfolfini standing erect, I think

Heart disease killed him at age 50, despite his obvious physical strength. Odd. Other strong-looking men died early of heart attacks: Robert Shaw, John Garfield and Tyrone Power. Meanwhile, Alfred Hitchcock and Peter Ustinov, fat and rather weak-looking men, made it into their eighties. Longevity is harder to predict than is commonly understood.

Danimal 177,
Gando is leaning in your second Picture ( I shouldnt have to tell you that on a picture you posted). Gando constantly has bad posture. Furio is 5'11. I am an Avid fan of the show. They are mostly short except Furio, Bobby, and Tony. Jonny Sac was average height as well.
6'3 is completely BS, you should be busy calling people out over that crap estimating on a guy that is shorter than Gando and Alec Baldwin.

He actually did look 187-188cm range in Get Shorty and Crimson Tide. Taller than Travolta and Washington who most argue were around the 184cm mark. Also not much shorter than 192-193cm Delroy Lindo in Get Shorty and The Last Castle.
May very well have been 6ft1 on the nose in his prime and lost a fraction in his 40's.

He gave off an impression of being a giant in the Sopranos because everyone else on that show was so tiny.

Looks full 6'1" in True Romance, but in The Barber, he looks more a good 6'. In a scene with the 5'5" Frances McDormand, she wears basic heels (I mean about 3 inches), that makes her at about 5'8" and he towered over her, but not towered with a "big T"...
Maybe 6'1" in his prime, like in True Romance, and 6'0.75" on the rest of his (too short) life...

@ Jordan87, You're right about that. It may be different elsewhere, but at our local DMV, they round your height off; even if you are honest. If you gave them an exact measurement like 5'9 1/2'' or 3/4'' they will put down 5'10''.

Height sometimes gives you a little edge in some cases since a person may have to look up at you, but with James I thinks it's more his body thickness. I mean people sometimes say he was "Just Fat" or "obese" which was true in the later Seasons but Gando has naturally a large boned frame and very wide shoulders. Despite how much weight you gain, your shoulders and your shoulders more or less. The man had a head and shoulders like a Silverback gorilla. Not a fella you would want to tangle with, I don't care have "fat" or out of shape he may have appeared. I have seen guys like him win street/bar fights against people by literally pinning them into a close quarter area with their weight and hammering them with strikes. Plus not everyone is a MMA expert with techniques to get away from a big Guy like James. ( Despite how good they think they can fight).
I still think he was around 5'11.5-6'0, but whether he was 5'11 or 6'1, he still provided an intimidating figure as Tony Soprano, and cannot be duplicated.

James gave off the appearance of a 6'2"-6'3" man at times. He seemed to be at least the same height as listed 6'2" Federico Castelluccio (Furio Giunta in The Sopranos). At times he also seemed to be at least the same height as listed 6'1" Steve Schirripa (Bobby Bacala Baccalieri on The Sopranos) James was at least 6'1" imo. His later 300 pound bulk made him slouch and as he gained more and more weight, going from 220 to 300 pounds (he died at 275 pounds), his posture suffered big time.

Out of bed, he was probably 6'1'' on the nose. At night, I'd say he was 6.025'' or 6' flat. Can't see him below 6' at night.

At 51, and some 300+ pounds, he may have shrunk a bit towards the end there. I think the average guy losses around .25 by 50, but a 300 pound man with bad posture possibly more? I still do not think he was quite 6'1 though. When he was 38 he was pictured in that Mug Shot on the sopranos at exactly 6'0 in his shoes, maybe lost some due to bad posture but the shoes should have offset it so he was Likely about 6'0 more or less.
I also saw some footage where a Gandolfini was confronted by a Big 6'2, 6'3ish paparazzi when he was trying to go into a restaurant with his wife. The guy got to close and James started throwing this guy around like he was a lightweight, meanwhile the guy was actually taller than James. Though pretty fat towards the end of his life , I think James was one of those guys who naturally had that caveman strength. Strong Fella.
At 51, and some 300+ pounds, he may have shrunk a bit towards the end there. I think the average guy losses around .25 by 50, but a 300 pound man with bad posture possibly more?

That's a young Jerry Adler (a.k.a Hesh from The Sopranos) w/h Tyrone Power in the above photo and Mickey Rooney in the lower photo. He's further back in both photos. The one w/h Tyrone is a bit odd. That camera is looking upwards. I'd go with 6ft2 peak though since he looked about Gandolfini's height by his 70's.

When I first saw The Sopranos years ago, I thought Gandolfini was of similar height and build to Paul Sorvino. Broad shouldered, barrel-chested and at least 6ft2.

A good example of a "tall" 6' 1", even though he probably wasn't even hitting 6' 1" flat. He had that build that adds an inch or so to your height. 185cm looks about right but most people would probably have bought anything up to 188cm or so.

He played "Hesh" in The Sopranos. I've seen him listed 6ft2 and even 6ft2½ but he never looked taller than Gandolfini and possibly a little shorter. However, he was into his 70's by that point so my guess is that he had lost height.

If he claimed that was 6-1, I really think he was 6-0 without shoes, many actors often "upgrade" their heights to include their heights with shoes on. I do not believe he was a lift wearer like many other actors. He was also grossly overweight, I believe he weighed around 275 pounds at the time of his death, about 90 pounds above the ideal weight for a man of his height.
6'1" and he weighed 300 pounds in the last season of the Sopranos and was heavier before he died.

Actually Tiki Barber Pre-Draft was 5'8.375. Gando is at most 3.75" Taller. Some Shots only 3 and Remember that is Tiki's Morning Height( Combine height) so Gando's Morning height looks to range between 5'11.375 to 6'0".
To Me Gando's morning height would be around 6'0 He was a heavy guy so by Mid Day he coould be like 5'11 1/2".
Gando is not Hunching in the Photos Rob and I posted below.
And fyi I think Gandolfini was a great actor and Human being. Loved his acting. No way was he 6'1 though. More 6'0 in the morning. 5'11.25" by night. Tiki was Combine measured at 5'8.375, so he isnt taller.

I've gotta say to you guys: Jordan is the only guy here actually providing evidence of any sort. The rest of you are saying oh no he couldn't have just been a weak 6' - he seemed taller. But that's not evidence - that's just saying how he came across. He came across taller than he was because most people exaggerate their height, and he was a largely built man with a big presence. But when you examine the evidence it's clear he wasn't 6'1.

Rob, you are correct. With your Picture you Posted it looks like about 3.75" difference. I Figure Tiki;s 5'8.625" was in the morning( Its a combine measurement) so Gando's morning height would be about 6'0 1/4".

Rob How many inches Does Gando have on combine measured 5'8.625 Tiki Barber in this pic? I see 2.75" to 3" tops making Gando 5'11.5 to 5'11.75. he has good posture here.

Jordan, sorry, you really are incorrect. He was 185cm wherher you like it or not. I have no idea why your downgrading his height, I don't know whether you actually believe he was 5'11, or you don't like him. But 5'11 for james gandolfini is ridicolous. He was an extreamly strong 6 foot or 6'1. And your the only one who seems to think he was 5'11. Watch the sopranos. Look at the difference between him and brad pitt. And oh yeah the pics with tom hanks, as I've previously stated he was known for his bad posture. To conclude, I'm sorry 5'11 is out of question. 5'11 is someone like vin diesel, not gandolfini.

Saying james gandolfini is under 6 feet is ridicolous, he was one of the very few actors who was honest about his height. He also had an extreamly bad posture and was still taller than most people. I believe he was 185cm.

@meee: Liotta probably turned it down because Lorraine Bracco would be playing his therapist and it would be awkward for viewers since they were best known for playing Henry and Karen Hill in Goodfellas.

6'5''????? hahaha are you insane??? Steve Schirripa is about 6'2''. Ive walked past him in the city when he was jogging/fast walking in sneakers. Gandolfini was most likely 6-6'1'', hes a bit shorter than Bobby bacala.
The huge frame and his dimensions, like broad shoulders, make him appear taller. And everyone else was short as hell. I read that Ray Liotta turned down Tony Soprano and thats good because the entire show would have been completely different. The physicality Gandolfini brought was undeniable.

Gandolfini is 3 inches shorter than Ben Affleck who is 6'2.5ish tops. Gando aint even close to 6'3. He is about 5'11.5 to 6'0.

Ok 6ft3 is ridiculous for Gandolfini (look at pics with Jeff Daniels for proof) but 5ft11-6ft is just as bad. He never claimed a height, but he was generally close to 2in taller than legit 5ft11 guys. In The Sopranos he gave a larger than life impression because of his enormous frame and because most of the other guys were substantially below 6ft.

Robby b. is exactly right. I'm 5'10 & I saw him walking on 3rd & 49th in the Summer of 2000. He had me by 4 inches easy - could have been very near or at 6'3. Really big dude with broad shoulders. Those who think he's 6' or under are clueless.

remember how fat he was on the sopranos season 6? 5'11.5'' guys don't look like that when they weigh 285 pounds. he was 6'1'' for sure.

Teej,
Not a 5'11 guy. More like 5'11.75. He was no taller than 1.25" on Robert Patrick in one of the episodes( they were face to face many times and Gando was up straight), who is 5'10.5ish on this site with Rob.
Not to mention 6'2.5 Ben Affleck appears to easily have Gando by 3 inches.

Jordan - no he was no way a 5'11 guy even if he is wearing shoes in the mugshot, he slouches a lot, and ducks his neck by about 2 and a half inches. I'd say if he was standing straight with shoes on hed easily be 6'1 and a half or 6'2. I'd say barefoot standing upright he's 6'0.5 or 6'1. He definetly was not under 6'0.25, insane to even call him 5'11.

The Episode with his Mug shot is from Season 2 of the Sopranos. Actually the mug shot has him at exactly 6 feet tall. Assuming he is in shoes he could be realistically 5'11.25 to 5'11.75 barefoot.

Teej, in that Mugshot he looks 6'0.25, and he has shoes on most likely, he could be as low as 5'11.5. I would say for most of the day he would be 5'11.75.

To men this looks like its over 2" Between Affleck and Gando, Both look like they have the same posture. Affleck is 6'2ish in my book, Gando about 6'0 even.

With Gandolfini its hard to tell. I cant find screen caps but he was about 1" taller than Robert Patrick ( who rob is pictured with and has at 5'11) in the Sopranos. Gandolfini almost always hunches his neck however. I think if he stood up straighter he would have had Robert Patrick ( minimum of 5'10.25) by 2 inches, so calling him 6'0.5 foot is more accurate than 6'1 i feel.

On the sopranos on his mugshot against a height measuring wall (prison picture) he is slightly over 6 foot, id say 184cm/185cm so he is a strong 6 foot/weak 6'1. He slouched alot and looked shorter than he actually was but still even when he was slouching he was noticibly above average

He was definetley above average by a significant amount. i would say he was a strong 6foot/ weak 6ft1. How can you downgrade his height, He was a fairly big guy, no doubt.
