Editor RobI don't know if the ground is level, but when on level ground with say Riley Smith who I've met, he's certainly taller than how me by over an inch.

If Ving Rhames is 5'11" so Mekhi Phifer can't be over 5'9"-5'9.25" max, next to him in Dawn of the dead he looks very close to 2 inches shorter than Rhames. In Clockers, he looks more close to be 4 inches under Keith David (6'1") than 3 inches. Plus, Rhames is often little slouching on the photos with Phifer that I seen. Just my opinions.

height is hard to deduce sometimes but in that picture with larry david he's not wearing the boots he wore on 8 mile...My friend is 5'10 and when he wears his 8 mile boots he's over 6 foot 1 and with 1 inch lifts..he's definitely not average height..

5'7" is bogus, in Miracle Day he is a good few inches taller than Wayne Knight and is around 2-3 inches shorter than Barrowman. think he's as listed.

Eminem is 5'8" and he is about 2" taller in 8 mile. So I am saying about 5'10"

After seeing the Larry David screenshot I'd say he needs downgraded at least an inch

adamz i was actually surprised that he looked that much shorter than rhames because i always knew rhames was 5'10 since he was shorter than bruce willis in pulp fiction but who knows what he was wearing.

In Dawn of the Dead, there are a few scenes with him very close to Ving Rhames and he looks a solid 2 inches shorter than him. I always thought Ving Rhames was 6' on the head and because of that I had this guy pegged at 5'10". Either Ving is taller or this guy is shorter than what Rob has listed.

This seems accurate. On the new show "Lie to me" he doesn't look anything above 5'9.5 considering I strongly believe Tim Roth is 5'6.5. There is a clear 3 inch difference. He comes off looking taller due to good proportions and a well developed upper body. But he is never 5'11". He is totally average.

in the movie O Josh Hartnett only had about 4 inches on Mekhi Phifer. Josh is a solid 6'3, so mekhi is prob 5'11

if this guy is 5'10" then you have to change Idris Elba's height to 6'4" because he has 6" plus on him

I've seen Mekhi Phifer at a Casino before, and he was getting of the table waiting for Chris Mills to finish up, and I was taking his seat, so I started talking to him, I'm about a flat 6', and I was about 5 feet away from him and he looked the same height, I'd say 5'11 shortest, 6' 1/2'' max

Not as ridiculous as your spelling, Jon Doe. Sorry, a bit below the belt there. He looks an inch taller than Scott Grimes on ER, so 5'9" would be accurate. Not tall, not short.

Girls seem to be really inacurate about judging height I mean to say that Mekhi isn't much taller than Prince is rediculous!

He's taller than I imagined. He looks very short on ER, like 5'8", but that might be because of the gigantic Eastern European guy.

He's 5'10" flat, cuz in 8 Mile he was about 2 inches taller than Eminem(who is in the 5'8" range), although I think that his dreadlocks made him look taller in the movie.
