Hey Rob, he looks near 6ft a lot of the time. You don't think the original 5ft 11 ¾ listing was better?

Jeff look 1.5" shorter than 6'1 1/4 Mark Pellegrino who wear a flat sandals. Click Here
Footwear can be seem here. Mark about 0.5" sandals, Jeff 1-1.1" dress shoes Click Here
Chances is Mark should be under listed by Rob. He could be 6'1 1/2 not 6'1 1/4 when standing straight up. Jeff listing is fine at 5'11 1/2.

i remember u said years ago that he's somewhere inside the 5'11" range, but i would rule that out actually. having a look at him with other celebrities i would say he's rather nearer 5'10" flat or possibly 10.5" (if he's ever lucky). i remember some forum mentioned that he claimed 6ft in a interview lol. he's nowhere near that let alone that. he always looks average to me. To me, i think he's somewhere in the 5'10" range.

He's got one of those almost perfectly proportioned body's that makes him look shorter than he is.

If you look at his posture, he's a guy who squeezes every inch out of his height. One of the most upright actors I've seen.

Sounds about right.
I agree with the previous poster in that he does appear to 'fluctuate' in height next to Bruce Campbell. Not sure if its footwear changes, camera angles or what not. I think Bruce is still taller, but they appear to be pretty close.

He's slightly taller than 181 cm Jimmy Kimmel. He's 5ft11.75 (1.82 m) minimum, 6ft on the nose is very fair.

On Burn Notice he can sometimes look taller than Bruce Campbell, and other times shorter. Also in an episode he was described as "6'1", dark hair, impeccabley well dressed." Is it possible that he could be 6'0.5"?

Kind of off topic, but does this guy have short legs, or is it just me?
Click Here
He also looks way thicker in his upper body than when you see him in suits, which may with his short-ish legs make him look shorter than he is.

There is an episode of Burn Notice where he flashes a Michael Westen photo ID with height 5'11". I can't imagine any circumstances in which they'd print a stage prop with a height erring on the side of too short.

He's definitely not 5'11". He's 6' at least. He's never dwarfed by other tall actors on Burn Notice, like Garret Dillahunt, Jay Karnes, Coby Bell, Tim Matheson etc etc.

no way the guy s 5-10. i live in miami and worked as an extra on burn. i am 5-8 barefoot and had on a pair of chepewa engineer boots that gave me an extra 2 inches. jd walked by me and he still had an extra 3 inches on me. and i dont think will smith is 6-2. i actually think he was wearing lifts in hitch. the scene would not have looked right with jd being taller then smith

Close up of Michael's I.D. at BN says birth 1966 height 5' 10" . Sure it's fictional character but why make the character shorter than the actor?

im not sure asimov, i saw the episode as well and i can tell you that they were very close in height. if anything donovan looked a smidge taller but it was almost indistinguishable. they were both in suits so i assume they both have dress shoes and heel height. i'd say they're both solid 6fters.

In the episode "Bad Blood" of Burn Notice, he's standing next to Michael Shanks who is a legitimate 6' in a club talking to him. Donovan looks to be about an inch shorter than Shanks. Meaning either Donovan is 5'11" or Shanks is 6'1". I'd believe the former before the latter.
