Today Michael is 67 years old. Rob, don't you think it's time to peak height for him? I would have guessed Emerson as peak height 5ft 8.75 and current height 5ft 8.25. Here are his photos alongside Carrie Preston from 2001: Click Here Click Here
Of course, Carrie was wearing very high heels. In my opinion, Emerson looked taller 20 years ago than he is now. Rob, what's your opinion?

Editor RobHe's now at an age where half inch could be lost. It may very well be just over 5ft 8.5 to just shy in 2022.

From rewatching Lost, I actually thought 173 was a better figure for him at times, but no less.
Probably not much different than Kiefer: Click Here

Rob you both are equal in height and you are even slouching while he is standing at his tallest. No more than 5'8 for this guy (172.5 cm)

Editor Rob I think it helps to show that having thicker hairstyle and smaller head helps look taller, because if his hair was flat, I am not sure he would seem much taller: Click Here.

Rob, my mom measured me to be 5'9.25" at night and 5'9.4" in the morning max. Both barefoot. I had to adjust my posture and the ruler exactly to stand straight. My hair is usually flat, but sometimes, certain hats make my hair go up.
I could still buy a full 5'9" for this guy, rob.

174cm is generous for Michael. He has a more upright posture than Rob, and even then he's the same height. And also there is no mention of footwear, so I'm assuming both had similar shoe thickness.
5ft8 (173cm) for Michael. The very most I would give him is 5ft8.25in (173.5cm), although the former is more likely.

Yeah, 174 is a good listing! If you go on Google, he's basically listed at 5'8 on all sites but i think that 5'8 flat would undercut him a bit... The lowest i'd argue is 5'8.25! I did think he could have been 5'9 at some point but remember you had Terry at a crazy 6'1.75 back then... You also had Jim at 6'1.75! To be fair to Jim though, he can look more 186 with him at times on POI (if Mike is 174), but generally 6'1 fits him perfectly!

Editor Rob the thing is Terry on Star Trek could look over 6ft 1, but then Frakes for a time I thought 6ft 4 was possible.

Guts said on 16/Aug/16
I'm sorry but am i blind? Rob looks like the same height if not 0.5-1cm taller than him. His Hairline is receded so the top of his head is probably only a smidgen away from his hairline.
I'm only seeing 173cm here.

It looks to me that he has better posture, does he Rob? I'm not too convinced on 174, maybe mid morning, but I bet if you measured him then, he would be 5'8.25".

Editor Rob a small fraction maybe as I remember leaning to my left/back slightly.
I wouldn't always go by eyelevels at times because you can get bigger discrepancies with a slight downtilt and the other guy having a slight uptilt.
For instance, here is Jenny and myself, she is standing in boots bang on 5ft 9 on the stadiometer (which means 5ft 8 7/8th).
With a 3/4 inch height difference at that moment, my eyeline is at the end of her nose because she has a bit of uptilt and a smaller eyelevel to begin with.

Rob i think it's the tilt of his head coupled with his elevated eyeline and his relatively high hairline that is giving a taller impression. The distance between his hairline and the top of his skull is not as high as i initially assumed although, i still can see a 0.25-inches differences and thus can put him at an average of 5'8.75.

Well Rob, if his hair add so much, i stick to my original 173-174 guess...
174 is certainly not a bad listing because he very likely would measure over 173 flat but there's a chance he'd be a hair under 174! As i said, 173-174 range is exactly what he looks on POI!
Again, how was he in person? :P

Editor Rob I mentioned before, he was pleasant in this photoshoot, greeting people and thanking them, but it was the only interaction I had with him. From other people who spent time getting his auto, I heard good words, he was willing to do photos at his table 'for free' with autograph of course...something many actors don't do nowadays. I think a lot at events want to charge for a selfie on your phone/camera as well at some US events.
I think if you look at him with other cast from Lost, and knowing a bit more of their height, 174 is a reasonable mark for him, I'm happy put give him it, but I wouldn't have guessed as tall as 5ft 9.

Editor Rob it's quite black around his crotch, I don't know where his inseam would be...
hairstyles can help height...Michael has a small hairline, at most 1cm from hairline to skull, my hairline is more 4cm range from top of skull.
If I spiked mine vertically (and I cut mine at 25mm on top a few days ago), I'm not sure his hair would look any different.

I do remember when i watched Lost and came on this site... You had Michael at 5'8 flat and Terry at 6'1.75!!!
I was really surprised to see them listed that way 'cause Terry really never looked near 6 inches taller than Michael on the show and in photos!
I think you can say Terry looked 3.5-4 inches taller than him, though! It took you a few years to give them a much more realistic listing (at least in Terry's case) :)
I do think their heights are pretty much spot on, now!
Michael can look right around 174 with Jim too (other times you can argue he can look more 173 but certainly no less than that)!

Rob, it seems you put him at 5'7.5 at some point? That's a bit surprising because i really wouldn't guess him under 5'8! He generally can look anywhere between 5'8 and 5'9...
Has he ever done any comic con? I bet he'd be very similar to you, if you ever get him in a photo!

I really don´t think he is small. Yea, 1.74m are small too, but he looks average height. So 1.74m is the start of what i can believe for him.
Maybe Caviziel isn´t that tall and make Emerson look taller. But i believe in Emerson. I´m sure he is 1.75 or 1.76m

Rob, what stops you from giving him 5'9? I remember you said he doesnt look it with some losties, which ones? He for sure can look 5'8.5 sometimes, but i don't think 5'9 is impossible... And you always go with the top. I wonder from where the 5'8 listings on the net come. He never looks under this listing and he could in fact be taller.

no way he is taller/shorter than Rob!
hair style plays a big role when it comes to tall impression
& no need to say that Carbonell is way shorter than Henry Ian Cusick who you've recently met. around two inches I think

I don't think he is just 5ft8. To be honest, he always looks around 5ft10 next to other actors. However he gives a smallish impression.
Look at him next to 5ft10 Nestor Carbonell and 6ft1/6ft1.5 Terry O'Quinn:

Here he looks a bit taller than Carbonell and only 3.5 inches shorter than Terry O'Quinn.

Agreed, he looks a strong 5'8" guy rather than 5'8" flat, 173-174 cm is his range most likely. In Person of Interest he only appears at most 4 inches shorter than the supposedly weak 6'2" Jim Caviezel, never almost 6. I actually thought Caviezel was just 6' flat before checking his listing here, since he really doesn't seem to tower over Emerson on that show.
In Lost as well, the trio Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway and Terry O'Quinn (again supposedly 6'1"-6'2" guys) weren't that much taller than him either, they had maybe 3"-4" on him; certainly not 5"-6".
I just think it's strange how he can give a 5'9"-5'10" illusion a lot and not get towered by guys who're supposed to be way taller than him. Hmmm... makes me question if those guys are really as tall as their claims/listings.

I actually thought Caviezel was just 6' flat before checking his listing here, since he really doesn't seem to tower over Emerson on that show.
In Lost as well, the trio Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway and Terry O'Quinn (again supposedly 6'1"-6'2" guys) weren't that much taller than him either, they had maybe 3"-4" on him; certainly not 5"-6".
I just think it's strange how he can give a 5'9"-5'10" illusion a lot and not get towered by guys who're supposed to be way taller than him. Hmmm... makes me question if those guys are really as tall as their claims/listings.

Yes, he isnt tall, but never looked short to me in lost. I´m 1.75m and i really think he looks that height, but 1.73m ist not enough.

On the Season 1 episode "Super", the dialog of the guest star who plays the title role describes Emerson's character as approximately 5'9".

Rob, could you explain me how he can look not short next to guys like Matthew Fox or Terry O'Quinn, who are supposed to be about 6 inches taller than him? I just saw all Lost and the scene where he looks "shortest", it was like max 5 inches difference! Could he be 5'9?

5'8 seems right, though I could go as low as 5'7 and 1/2 if Mitchell is only 5'8.5. Fairly tall cast of characters, with Matthew Fox, Terry O'Quinn, Josh Holloway and Elizabeth Mitchell, so Emerson looks especially short despite being just a little below average.

Editor Rob its probably fairer yeah.

Thanks for putting him up. I love his acting and his character, but he looks more than half an inch shorter than 5'9 Elizabeth Mitchell...

in that picture Cuomo looks a lot more than 2 1/2 inches taller than 5ft 8in Glenn. More like 4 inches. Something is not right.

Yo Glenn, is it just me or are you, how shall I say, a tad less than sober in that pic with Mario?
