She looks a strong 5'8 in white chicks. Definitely 5'8 ½. Tall woman.

Jennifer has starred in some seriously meaty films, and she’s in ‘The Factory’ with 6ft2” John Cusack, which I am trying to watch - when my cats stop playing with my aerial!

I guess the makers of the film 'Brawl In Cell Block 99' were relieved to find that Jennifer was willing to play the wife of the very tall Vince Vaughn. It doesn't happen often, but Jennifer looked quite miniscule next to him!

I did see Jennifer Carpenter could be 5'8 1/2 and probably 128 lbs now.

🎂 Happy 4️⃣0️⃣th Birthday Jennifer! 🎂
Many Happy Returns to Jennifer, who turns the BIG 4️⃣0️⃣ today!
I just found 174cm for her with her Birthday details, but that pretty much agrees with the average vote.
My Birthday guess for Jen is going to be 5ft8.5. 😁🎁💐🎉🕯️

Hey Rob!
When I Googled Jennifer the other day, I couldn't find the film of which I spoke - ('Where the Devil Hides').
I have just Googled the film to make sure I hadn't been misinforming people, and I found out the reason. This movie also goes by the title 'The Devil's Hands/Hand' and it DOES star Jennifer and Colm Meaney, Colm playing perhaps the meanest, most macabre part I've seen him play to date!
Jennifer is almost certainly the tallest of the girls, and there are many, none of which look particularly short!

It isn't the easiest thing in the World to judge the height of Jennifer from her role in 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose', as she spends much of her time contorted! However, she is in another horror film currently showing on the 'Horror Channel', and I think it might be 'Where the Devil Hides' with Colm Meaney! In that, there is a tall, dark-haired, slim actress and I am sure it's her! I will definitely agree with 5ft8.25, as written above.

Rob I have another question. They say skinnier makes you look taller. But why is that not always the case? A girl I know who is the same height as Jennifer Carpenter , has very small bones and for some reason it doesn’t make her look taller to me. Jennifer looks taller to me because she’s not super bony, she has some muscle. Would you say that just being bony doesn’t automatically make you look tall? Does it depend?

Editor RobIt can also be proportions, clothing which effect perception. Usually skinnier appearances do tend to make people think someone would be taller than a wider person, but of course not always.

I thought she was taller,on Limitlwss, she gave a 5'9 impression. I forget the lead's name but he portrayed Brian Finch, I think he's 6ft or 6'1. But he had her by half a head.

Rob, also, what do you think about Erik king's height? The guy is listed as 5'10(178 cm) LOL, though in Dexter he looks in almost every scene 3 cm shorter than Jennifer Carpenter. So I guess 1.71m is right for him. I'm waiting a response. Thank you, rob.

Yeah, all the talk about head sizes is getting ridiculous. Unless it is relevant,(like Rob meeting someone) it should be left alone, accept an occasional mention, like with weight. IMHO.

No way is she 5'7-.5. She's just a tiny bit shorter than 5'9.25 listed Yvonne Strahovski. Another topic: Is her hairlevel (top of head to hairline) more than 4 cm? She has a low hairline and a small forehead. Here's a pic for reference:Click Here Her head seems the same size as Yvonne's, but their hairlevels are opposites.

Editor Rob I put an amnesty on some posters who stepped over the line, but I cannot keep talking about head sizes...it's height first, then other body dimensions as I see fit. Her hairlevel looks a good 4cm range but maybe Yvonne has raised here eyes a little higher and it looks less than it is.

She looks taller than she is because of his skinny structure. May be as low as 5'7" to 5'7,5". Two inches shorter than Michael C. Hall.

I have a really hard time trying to figure out her height. She always looks super tall in photos/videos, but is clearly around 2 inches shorter than Michael:
Click Here
Michael is definitely 5'10", so having her height listed around 5'8.5" makes sense, but she always seemed taller than that...
Has she ever claimed a height in an interview or anything? Her ID page in a Dexter episode said 5'8" but those are always BS.

@Rob I´d have expected for you to include her in the really long head spectrum.
For example i think that Michael C. Hall has a long head for his average height and Jennifer isn´t far off from him in that regard although she has a tall height.

it's hard thinking off hand...from people I've met, maybe look at michelle forbes or mercedes mcnab for longer heads, and someone like nora zehetner has a smaller head.

She is 5' 9" exactly. I know because I had the perfect scenario celeb height sighting! She was right behind me in the security line at the airport. We both had to take off our shoes, so we were both barefoot right next to each other and we were the exact same height. I am exactly 5' 9" barefoot for sure (accurately measured and not including hair). She was very down to earth and approachable. If only I had the good luck to be next to Pitt or Stallone in the air security line! But something tells me they use their status to bypass security checks and not take their shoes off in front of people...even at the airport!
