5'7" and a half for me....Too short for a 5'8", too tall for a 5'7".
Clearly a bit taller than his "bald brother" Dean Norris.

Michael can't be considered a small man by any means, but that's because of his stocky frame and muscles. If he was slender or even on the slim side of what is considered normal weight, he would be a slight man.
Michael can't be more than 5ft7. No way could he pass for 5ft9 or even 5ft8; I feel quite adamant about that.
I've every intention of watching AHS 'Freak Show' when I've worked my way through 'Hotel', and I'll be reporting back after comparing Michael with Evan Peters.
⭐ I must admit that Mr Chiklis is at an immediate disadvantage to the eye at first scrutiny because he doesn't have any hair to create the illusion of a bit more height.

Hey Rob why do you have him at only 5'7" (170)? he looks 5'7 1/2" (171). But of course he claims 5'9" (175) because he's an ass clown just like most other hollyweirdos.

Wishing Michael Chiklis a very Happy Birthday today. 😋 His name always reminds me of one of my favourite dinner-time treats as a youngster. They were made by Bird's Eye and were called 'Chicklets'! They were so yummy that I wish they'd reintroduce them for this generation - and everyone else as well!😋

5'7 is right on target for Chiklis. He appeared in an early episode of Seinfeld and 5'11 Jerry Seinfeld had about four inches on him.

Michael's son in AHS 'Freak Show', played by handsome Evan Peters, who is supposed to be 5ft9.5, but looks taller to me, shows just how prominent a 2.5" height difference can look.
I enjoy each and every time I see the scene in which the two get drunk together - very funny! Then, upon hearing verification that 'The Strong Man' is truly his father, the two have a sing-song and a massive drunken hug, but not before Evan's thrown up, as he's simply not used to the demon drink!
😩🍻😲

He's certainly proving his worth as the new addition to the Freak Show in 'American Horror Story' Season Four! It proves you don't have to be huge to be strong. I have seen many examples of this in my lifetime.

It's understandable at times why people lie, especially if others are judging them and dismissing them from possible film/tv roles because they are 5ft 7 rather than 5ft 9.

Diehl looks to be in the strong 6ft range. He towers over Chiklis (strong 5ft7), has a good 2in on Walton Goggins (who some say could be a little over 5ft10) and about 3in on Benito Martinez (a little under 5ft10). So if you going back 20 years to his Miami Vice days when he would have been in his 30's and therefore in his prime....I'd say that pushes Mike Talbott up closer to 6ft2

check out the pic posted by Alex, it's good for comparison because it's a full length shot and they are both wearing flat-type shoes. Their eye-level is very similar, Chiklis maybe slightly under Alba's, but thanks to his generous noggin he is still taller than Alba.
I think he is 5’7” but looks deceptively shorter because of the rest of his body is lower than a normal 5’7” person. Looking at glenn’s pic you get the impression that Chiklis is a lot shorter than glenn but if you just look at the top of their heads you notice that Chiklis isn’t that much shorter.
Chiklis’ substantially bigger skull that is out of proportion in that it is top-heavy gives the illusion that he is shorter than he actually is.

This was one of the pictures in a gallery posted on the Jessica Alba page here and Alba is about 5'6 herself and he looks around the same height as her so he's he is only 5'6. Its just that he can give the impression of a 5'7 guy sometimes. That may be enough for Rob to downgrade his height to 5'6.

I do admit that Chiklis some serious noggin above his eye level. Assuming Chiklis is somewhere between 5’6”-5’7”, looking at his face I would think that he would actually only come eye to eye with someone about 5’5”.

mmmm...watching "The Shield" last night, and Daniel Dae Kim was on. Hard to be perfectly accurate, but in the few scenes they showed the two together, Kim was taller than chiklis by at least an inch. Again, hard to tell as there weren't any scenes where they were just standing next to each other - too much moving around. But, Chiklis could very well have been as short as 5'6" and 1/2. Really hard to tell, but makes me change my mind a little, and think he might be as short as, or shorter than, 5'7"...

There is no way he is over 5'5" I remember seeing him on the Fox NFL show and he was dwarfed by Bradshaw, Howie Long, and James Brown. I know these are big men but he was over a foot shorter. 5'3" would not surprise me. His daughter in the Sheild is taller than him.

This dude is NOT near 5'8! He was on an episode of Seinfeld and right near George. I can't remember clearly but he was either barely taller or barely shorter. He's definitely in the 5'4-5'6 range. Watch the episode.

Because someone says a height on a tv show, doesn't make it so. It's a script, written by somebody, which can say anything. Just watched him in "The Shield" last night. I'd say 5'7" to 5'8".

Correct me if I am wrong, but I 100% COMPLETELY remember when he played "The Commish", he told a story to his son on the show, telling him that he had to be 5'6" when he joined the police dept., but he was only 5'5 1/2", so his father pulled his legs until he stretched out to 5'6". I am NOT imagining this AT ALL.

Chiklis is actually a really nice guy - 5'7.5" - 5'8". He ain't no 5-9er.
"Maybe, next time - Gary Coleman? Watchoo talkin 'bout, Doctor Doom?"
LOL! You never know. Ice Cube is the new Kotter...Coleman as The Thing doesn't seem that much more of a shocking choice.
I thought Chiklis was perfect. Out of costume, he looks like The Thing every bit as much as Reggie Nalder looked like a vampire. Which is to say, a lot.
Who should they have chosen instead of Chiklis? King Kong Bundy?

Here's the real question - why the hell did they pick Chiklis to be "The Thing?" The Thing is actually pretty big in the comic books. Maybe, next time - Gary Coleman? Watchoo talkin 'bout, Doctor Doom?

Just watched the FF extras, and though I don't know Stan Lee's official height, next to various cast members (Ioan Gruffud, Julian McMahon, Chris Evans etc.) you could pin him around 5'9"/175 cm. Whatever the truth, Chiklis looked shorter than him in the Thing costume.

He does look in the 5'8" range to me.
Michael's heritage is Greek and they are not renowned for their height. I know, I am one. ;-)
In the Fantastic Four, with Jessica Alba in heels, she was the same height as Michael, if not a tad taller. So 5'8-ish" sounds right to me.

I met Keifer last year in a bar in Hollywood, and he was only about 5-8, with his thick diesel boots on. My guess is if we got him barefoot, he would be less than 5-7. Even if Keifer has shoe help in this pic, he is still no taller than 5-9, which makes Chiklis 5-7 at the best.

Chiky is an awesome actor, but he surely ain't that tall. Eventhough he is slouching little bit and the camera angle might favour Ray Liotta we can make the conclusion that Michael just ain't 5'8.5''. Ray is around 182 cm so Mike should at least reach his eye level, but he doesn't and I bet that Ray ain't wearing lifts...http://web.wireimage.com/images/thumbnail/767987.jpg

5'8.5 is an insane height for Chiklis. He is 5'6 he is a short man not an average height man. Have any of you watch the sheild? Everyone is taller then him in that show except girls who are all pretty much his height. If he is 5'9 then the average height for a man must be 5'11 because everyone in the sheild is taller then him I am talking about people on the street that walk past in the show.
