How likely is a bit under 5ft10, Rob?
That claim sounds a bit hesitant, like he's about to admit he's not quite 5ft10 but then just goes with it....he actually looks a strong 5ft10 with you but has a shoe advantage

Editor Roblook at him with Englund, Boyd and De Lancie...strangely Robert (albeit maybe a bit closer) looking not much shorter.
However in person, for me I think he looks 5ft 10.

Editor RobCheck out how tall Manu looks with Big Dale who I would give at least 6ft 1.5 range too if measured standing tall.
See his left foot...this is something some celebs do at times. If you are a taller guy, the odds increase a celebrity might rise up.
Tyson was doing the same thing in his photoshoot with some people...

The first instance makes him look 5'10 since Rob's eye level seems to be at the tip of Manu's nose. While the second instance shows Rob's eye level at lower end of Manu's nose. I think even 5'9.75 can be a possible listing for him. Maybe it's because he's slouching in the second picture but it's hard to see him at 5'10 there.

I would go with the 5'10" or 5'10.5" range for Manu Bennett. He's one of two average height actors I can see as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, the other being Stephen Lang. Other than that, I would prefer taller actors to play Deathstroke.

Interesting....the first shot (taking into account footwear differences). He looks somewhere between 5'10.25-5'10.5. Near 179 cm, maybe something like 5'10 3/8 (178.8 cm). Bottom shot, he doesn't look over 5'9.75 and I am being generous in saying that.

I saw many Bennett today at work rob (not lying) he sported a beard and a marvel cap. I had an inch footwear or abit more than that. He's a lot shorter than me; what's the lowest you'd argue for him? He's really built tho seemed nice was in a hurry tho as he was moving stuff out of those storage containers.

Editor Rob 9.75 is the worst I'd argue...and I would be more comfortable with 5ft 10 flat for him.
But you never know, sometimes you get a guy under the stadiometer and they end up a bit different or a fraction taller/shorter than we think.
Nothing is certain on here, we are all trying to give best guesses.

After rechecking the first picture, you should give the 179 upgrade. He looks 180 subtract his 1-1.5 cm shoe advantage, so he really is a strong to big 5'10 who claimed his morning height.

Anyway, Manu looks a good 5ft10, but as he is sporting a spiky hairstyle, I am forgiving myself for thinking the guy was taller - which I did, by an inch!
He can have 5ft10. I only have the photos to go on as I haven't really taken in his work yet, though I must have seen him! I know some of the above films!

By the way, ya'll are height blind, methinks. You can clearly see that Mannu is two inches taller than Rob, look where the top of Rob's head is in relation to Mannu. His forehead, which means? Two inches of height difference. Next look at eye level, Rob's are one inch lower than Mannu's eye level, meaning there is a two inch height difference. Now keep in mind that 5'6 would be above Rob's eye line, or the bottom of his forehead. You can clearly see that Mannu is taller even accounting for camera angles. So this means... Mannu is 5'10. I wouldn't give him anything as low as 5'9.25, that's a ridiculous guess.

He looks 5'11 in the first photo, and 5'10 in the second, accounting for footwear, 5'10 is a good listing. He looks close in height to Chris Evans, who is 6ft. I wouldn't make any arguments for strong or weak, 5'10 is 5'10.

Editor Rob 177.5cm is the lowest I'd have guessed.
He looked the first time I met him much closer to 179cm (with footwear advantage) than 178. The second time I thought he was a typical 5ft 10 guy with more similar shoes, at worst I'd have thought a little bit shy of 5ft 10 but really I think he'd hold 5ft 10 most of the day.

Rob, in the second photo the camera seems to be placed more on his side which I think gives the impression that he is taller. And I'm noticing that you turned your body completely sideways when he is turned partially and I think that makes him closer to the camera which gives him the advantage. This is a trick that lot of celebrities use which I have felt victim too. I still think he is 5'9.25"-5'9.5".

Rob, is 5'9.5 possible? Can you add a height chart like you did with Scott Adkins?
Editor Rob because I know his head was a little nearer Marco (the photographer) it basically reduces my head size and amplifies his a centimetre, so I would have to say my head was more like 9 inches at most in the photo.
GP said on 3/Mar/16
Rob, the link for the shoes that you have, were those the shoes that he was wearing with you? If that is the case, then it looks like that he had a little lift in it. Maybe then he is actually something like 176, maybe 5'9.5", because he would have at least an inch advantage over you. It appears that he was claiming 176 by saying " I'm just over 5'9". It just doesn't make sense, why would he make that statement? If he was an honest 5'10", then he wouldn't even say that, makes me believe that he is not 5'10".

Editor Rob yes...with shoes though, it can be hard to tell how much insole a shoe has. I've looked at a lot and sometimes they can be 1-2mm, other times I'm surprised as the shoe has a 1/4 inch or 1/3rd inch insole.

In this photo (without considering the bigger footwear) he seems a very solid 178
In Spartacus, next to Andy Whitfield and Gannicus, he gives a 175, max 176 cm impression
I think Manu is a 5'9.5 man, who always wear big boots or small insole, like 1-2 cm.
My father wears them too and appears to be as tall as me without giving suspects lol

So if Andy was really 5'10, Manu is indeed strong 5'9/176cm.
With puffy hair and the right shoes he can appear 5'10.

Rob are you sure he wasn't wearing an inch lift in his shoes? He always looks in the 5'9"-5'9.5" range and in the above photo his waistline is really high, which says to me that he either has very long legs or that he is in lifts which creates such disproportion

Editor Rob ignoring more footwear for a minute, he looked like he was over 5ft 10 and nearer 10.5 that day, so take off footwear difference and I can buy 5ft 10.
Under the stadiometer though...that could be different. I'd be surprised if he really dropped more than a few mm shy of 5ft 10 at worst.

Who would you say Rob is actually taller between Colton Haynes and Manu Bennett? I was watching an episode from Arrow and sometimes they appear to be the exact same height. Other times Manu is taller than Haynes. It really is hard to estimate an actor's height by watching them onscreen. Here's a clip with Manu and Colton in the same scene.

I've seen Dustin upgraded to 174, it seems there is a sort of "upgrading policy" (lol, no offence), why not downgrading Bennett instead (or at the same time)???
I agree he's not so THAT much taller than Dustin Clare, 5 cm are too many, maybe 3-4 are spot on.
Manu is shorter than Andy Whitfield, when they were barefeet in the show, Andy was slighty taller (1-1.5 cm) and the camera was distant with the two gladiators on the same, flat, floor
So why not downgrading Bennett to 5'9.75 or 5'9.5?

sabot,
Dustin is clearly shorter if you watch the Spartacus series. The pics you posted have Dustin in the foreground, which would give him a perceptive advantage. I have the entire Spartacus series on Blu Ray and Dustin is clearly the shortest of the gladiators.

Even with upgrading Dustin Clare your listing is simply wrong. Dusin Clare and Manu Benett are pretty close in height. So why the 4cm differance? A compelling case of being biased :)

I'd say Manu's listed height is pretty close. No way is he 5ft 11in. I'd say he is a strong 5ft 9in. He looks much shorter than Stephen Amell in Arrow, who is a strong 6ft 1in. Speaking of which, how tall is Katrina Law (she was in Spartacus and has now been cast in Arrow)? I'm thinking 5ft 7in.

interesting picture of the Spartacus cast, to compare... : Click Here "
Note the very suspicious footwear of Dustin Clare and Manu Benett, filled with "special stuff". They almost tiptoeing lol, esp. Manu Benett.
They are both clearly in the 5'8 range.

5 ft 9.5 at best, absolutly not taller than Lucy Lawless when they both were barefeet. Also shorter than the late Andy Whitfield, if I remember correctly

Manu looks more like a solid 5 ft 9 next to Stephen Amell in Arrow than 5 ft 10/11. I'm just curious but is it possible for a man to grow even a little bit when they are 20?

Short legs, arms ect. for a 5'10 guy. Check his proportions - does he really look as tall as for example D. Craig? I don't think so. Weak 5'9.

If Andy Whitfield was 5'9.5" I don't think this guy can possibly be over 5'9.25".

He wasn't that much shorter than Andy Whitfield. They were the same height at most. Keep in mind that Andy wore rubber sole sandals on the set. No one else did. He did appear similar in height as the actor who played Pitros who is 6'1" in their one scene.
I was on set with him on Gods of the Arena 3 years ago and he definitly isn't 5'11" but he is between 5'9" and 5'10".

This pic is taken with the Arrow cast. He looks very short compared to the other actors.

With 6'1" listed Amell. There looks to be a strong 3" between them.

...Bennett is 172-3, which I definately can say that he is. Agency's always wants to make their celeb look tall on paper. Im 175,and would probably be listed as 183 ish cause of my body.
One more thing, if he is called a dwarf by people who too are at 179, then how can he be a dwarf? Hes 172-3!End of Story.

180cm tall? No way. I met him in around 5 years ago & unless he has had a growth spurt since then I put him at around 5 ft 8 tops. I'm only 5ft 1 & when he walked towards me I thought "oh it's Manu Bennett, heck he's smaller than what I imagined" we chatted for a while, nice genuine guy but no not 5ft 10 or 5ft 11. My best friend is 5ft 10 & I stand on tip toes to give her a hug lol

In many scenes in Blood and Sand, Andy is usually wearing sandals with thick rubber soles(as seen on Revelations) that sometimes make him appear taller. You can see this when he talks with 6'1" Eka Darvell.
The one barefoot scene they have together is in episode 2. Manu bennet is 2 cm taller than whitfield. So Manu bennet would be closer to 177cm.
For John Hannah and Lucy Lawless, they both wear very thick Sandals aswell. Watch Episode 5 when he walks with 6'3" John Bach and 5'10" Craig Walsh Wrightson.
John Hannah usually wears those Sandals that give him an obvious 3-4 inch lift.
Like i said before, Ande Cunnington 177cm = 5'9.75" is taller than Andy Whitfield by atleast 2cm making Andy 5'9" which will make sense considering he is afew inches shorter than 6'0" Jai Courtney and several inches shorter than 6'3" Peter Mensah.

The current listing seems too generous. In both Spartacus Blood and Sand & Gods of the Arena he looks shorter than most if not all the other male actors. Not to mention he always looks shorter than Andy Whitfield who's listed as 5'10" here. John Hannah is also listed as 5'10 and most of the time he looks slightly taller than Whitfield. Bennett is probably 5'9" or shorter.

He's 5 10 max but prob less. Andy is definitely taller than him, so is lucy, he's probably closer to 5 9.5 if not 5 9 flat. In Gods of the Arena one of the gladiators calls him a dwarf! Andy is closer to a solid 5 10 and perhaps as tall as 5 10.5, but can't see him as a true 5 11 at all. In reality I'd say Manu is 5 9-5 9.5 no bigger and Andy is 5 9.5-5 10. That's probably the most accurate range, especially because both do seem shorter than 5 10 John Hannah, Andy by just a hair and Manu by a tad more. But Manu is definitely not 5 10.5 as he claims, at least an inch shorter. He is massive tho which makes him appear larger over all, where as Andy has a much smaller frame and narrower shoulders, a frame that a 5 11 man would not have.
