Absolutely no way taller than 5'8".
zahn said on 25/Apr/22
I think 6
Sinclair said on 24/Nov/21
Interesting one. On The Sopranos he can pass for 5’9”, yet in Midnight Run, I recall 5’9” Robert De Niro had about an inch on Pantoliano. Therefore, I’d vote 5’8.5” as a compromise.

Doesn't look two inches taller than 5'7 Martin Lawrence and was close to two inches shorter than guy Pearce. I think 5'8.5.
Slim 6'1" said on 9/Aug/20
from seeing him in matrix and memento. about 174cm
Jkiller said on 4/Aug/20
He would measure 5'8.5 pretty accurately (174cm).

Squeaky-voiced Joe looks less than 5ft9, even in the film 'Bound', from 1996. He can have 5ft8.25. I reckon he was between 5ft8.5-5ft8.75 in 'Bound'. I do like the way he handles the police in that film though - what a bunch of idiots! 🔫😝...🚽👮♂️👮
He's smart with them all right, but no match for his woman! 😂😂😂
This movie gives a whole new meaning to money laundering...💰💰💰🤑

Really really doubt he’s over 5’8”.

He was about 2 inches shorter than Guy Pearce in Memento. Joe was about 5’9” peak, probably 5’8” today.
JJL29 said on 31/Mar/18
What height is he now? Is he still 5ft 9?
Smiles03 said on 11/Jan/18
Maybe with shoes he mite be 5'10
Anonymous said on 4/Jan/18

Sonny Black said on 18/Dec/17
He’s a tough one, sometimes he looks 5’6-5’7 range; especially in Risky Business where he seems shorter than Cruise and overall just a real small guy, but then in the Sopranos he easily looks like he could be 5’8.5-5’9.5 range.
Anonymous said on 9/Dec/17
I always thought he was about 5'6. Than again lots of the actors he works with are in the 6' range
Junior said on 4/Nov/17
Joe look 5'8.25" in A Better Way to Die and 5'8 in Memento with 5'10.25" Guy Pearce.

Hey rob now that joe Pantoliano's 65 years old don't you think he's lost half an inch? You said men aged 60-65 have most likely lost half an inch.
Editor Rob
yeah it is probably quite likely he has shrunk a little bit now
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Aug/16
...also in Risky Business, Midnight Run and US Marshalls
Sam said on 2/Dec/15
Wasn't there a photo with you and him before, Rob? Also could you add The Sopranos and Bound, he was so creepy and despicable in those parts.
Editor Rob
I unfortunately don't have one.

Gave the illusion of being shortish when compared to Keanu Reeves (6'1) and Hugo Weaving (6'2).
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Mar/15
Rob, he was also on The Sopranos for awhile
brothabee said on 9/Oct/14
Met him today, and shook his hand. No doubt he's 5'9.5" or so only a few inches shorter than me 5'11.5"
the shredder said on 6/Dec/13
he can't be 5'8 , he looks taller than Rob with Astin and Feldman.
gugz said on 4/Dec/13
yea i thought he was like 5 8
daz said on 16/Jul/13
he looks tiny, I thought 5ft3 or 4, maybe that's just his stature
bob said on 18/Aug/12
Clearly an inch shorter than De Niro in Midnight Run. So by your calculation that would actually make him 5ft 8.
Christian said on 18/Dec/11
Has always been listed as 176 cm.
Dmeyer said on 12/Jun/11
In person maybe 174 but 175 is likely
Legend said on 12/Nov/10
He is shorter than this.
dmeyer said on 7/Jun/07
he was about 2 in shorter than me barefeet and he was in shoes so 175 176 in shoes so more 5'8.5 for this guy
dmeyer said on 2/May/07
i agree tom did a good job in mi3 to look only 2 in shorter than ving rhames
bikagyura said on 29/Apr/07
I think he's taller... Just watched The Fugitive and he didn't more than a couple of inches shorter than Tommy Lee Jones
Jordan said on 17/Nov/06
Tom cruise is a major lift wearer and also looks the same height as Ving Rames in Mission Imposible 3. So Tom def. wears lifts and is not a good comparison.
sam said on 16/Oct/06
Tom Cruise looks close to Pantoliano's height in Risky Business. He could pull off saying he's five ten but I think it's a bit of a boost.
dmeyer said on 30/May/06
i met him he was about 5'10 in shoes around 5'9 barefeet i thought the guy was 5'7" before i met him
Editor Rob
I remember in a film encyclopaedia it described him as short
sf said on 29/Apr/06
Ayreon- you're right. He is a few inches taller than Cruise in Risky Business even thought I think Cruise says he's 5'10" in the movie. More proof Cruise is no taller than 5'7".
John said on 28/Apr/06
I'd say he looks just a little taller than Cruise in "Risky Business" (scene when Guido meets Joel for the first time)
Kurt Hargan said on 14/Feb/06
I was Joey Pants stand-in for two years on two different tv series. He is 5'10"
dmeyer said on 1/Feb/06
in person he looks around 5'9"
