If it weren't for his long neck, he would be around 5'9.5" in the second picture. But since he does, 5'10" is a good height.

5'9 5/8" in the first pic, can look near 5'10" in the second one though.

These photos bear out what I've noticed before - the closer the camera, the smaller a height difference appears.

In case it hasn't been pointed out, on the 2000's TV series, "The 4400", was listed as 6'. I'd say 5'10" is closer.

He seems to look 5'10.5 at least, in the top picture while the bottom one he appears to be at most 1.8 inches taller. It's close to say that he's a decent 5'10.

Rob, if you were few mm over 173cm on the 2 photo above then he is close to 5'10 but i hardly see him over 4cm taller than you

Honestly he look 5'9 with rob on top picture and bottom one look 5'9.25 let alone his hair volume advantage than big rob. I'll say 176cm at most
Editor Rob
SJH, I wouldn't have guessed 179 or 176, but close to 178 in person.

Rob, with the return of comments from 2005-2007 days it seems your estimates were generally about 0.5 inch more than they are listed today. Any idea on why this is? For example, you thought this guy could be 5ft 10.5 from seeing him in person.

Editor Rob I think he can still pull off looking over 5ft 10 at times, but the more people I measured and spend time with, the better feeling I've gotten how various heights feel or look.

Been watching the 4400 lately and i knew he wasn't over 5'11. He has great posture and a really long neck though, gives a taller impression at times.
When he isn't standing next to tall people he can look around 5'11.

This guy looks like he was made in a Nazi laboratory, kind of like one of those East German athletes of the 80s haha. Appropriate name Gretsch too! Although I guess Hitler would prefer him to be taller!

@Balrog 176? So he would be just 3cm taller than Rob? Take a tape and see how little 3cm is. 1 inch is almost invisible in real life and you can see there's a way bigger height difference between them in the picture above.

@taha
Nope, 5'9-5'10 is still average, but people are getting taller.
Joel looks 5'9.5 in both pics. 5'10 is possible.

In those two pictures above it doesn't look more than 176 cm. Surely under 178.

Can't believe some people estimate 5"11-6" for this guy.
In the pics he stands at 5"9.75.
Editor Rob
on 4400 he could look 5ft 11 range for sure, but anytime I seen him I thought he appeared nearer 5ft 10 than 11.

I can see 5'11 and change out of bed, Strong 5'10 in the day. In shoes close enough to claim 6' (On camera a 5'10 guy "a legit barefoot at night 5'10 guy" can look 6' easily and play a leading man)

I've always wondered how tall he was. I've read certain articles about him saying he was 6' but I was never quite convinced. I'd say 5'9"ish sounds about right. He does have tall hair...LOL

He only looks 5'9ish here, 5'10 absolute max, that's the tallest he could be i think. No way is he 5'11, never looked it in The 4400 to me. He was only 3-4 inches taller than 5'6 Jacqueline McKenzie.

Actually I always thought he looked average to slightly above height on The 4400.
"Richard Tyler" and "Jordan Collier" always towered over him.

It's odd. If you compare their eye levels in Rob's posting, Joel seems about an inch taller. If you compare their heads, Joel seems 2 inches taller. Am I missing something??

Editor Rob Sometimes people might have head down slightly or up slightly more or someone is slightly closer to camera. His hairline is probably between 1/3-1/2 inch more than eyeline but his hairstyle isn't as flat.
I thought the last time you were here you would have learned that it's easier just to stick to one name...it's easily done, please do it.

Editor Rob basically 5ft 10.5 is the best estimate, I just didn't change it.
