@Editor Rob,
Maybe 182cm is closer?
Click Here
Seeing him in Smallville, Impastor, his podcasts with other celebs & other projects etc, He always passes for 182cm guy! Also in recent con photos, he does look 3in max under Welling, So i’d be really surprised if he were as low as 5’11” flat!
What do u think Rob?

Editor RobHe is over 5ft 11, but just question if 1/4 or 1/2 is better.

@Editor Rob,
Is 5’11.5” possible?

181cm Minimum IMO, 182cm could be fair based on other actors you’ve met.

You can tell he's a perfect 5'11 (180cm), no chance of being taller. Just watch Smallville where he's constantly towered over by Tom Welling.

He looks 5'11 in first pic and 5'10 in bottom pic,I'm assuming his posture was weaker then. 5'11.

I'm not familiar with the American school system, but seeing that it corresponds to 17-18 years, that's a huge growth spurt to have!

If he really is 5’11.25 at a low the 6’ claim isn’t horrible given he would measure 6’0 out of bed and still 5’11.5 after being awake 2 or 3 hours. Likely him simply rounding up. The real question is is he really a strong 5’11 or just a solid 5’11 afternoon height?

I would guess at least 5'11.. a bit over possibly. Longer head can give smaller impression right, because eye level, shoulder level etc looks lower

@Canson:
Based on the photo's, yes I agree.
I have to say after out quite a bit of pics now and I think this current listing may be nearer to what he could measure. I'm actually not sure he would measure below 5'11 (well there is a greater chance of a measurement above 5'11 than under). I think 180/181 cm range is fair for him.

Editor RobOver 5ft 11 flat matches up with other smallville guests I believe, and as I mentioned, in person he looks more solid 5ft 11.

I would advocate 5’10.75 especially if we take Rosenbaum’s hair into account. 5’11 is absolute the most I could buy for him

I thought about that too (the fact that in both the photos he doesn't look over 180), Zampo, and that's a good point, though I can still believe he could measure near 181, based on how he looked on Smallville and a few other things I've seen of him...

@Andrea:
Acknowledged. You make a good point, which I can't disagree with. I think maybe the reason why I'm a little skeptical is because there is not only one photo-shot but two in which Michael is still not looking 181 cm range. Rob is however in the best position to estimate as he has seen him in person and likely with others. I should probably have a look at Michael with other celebs particularly how he stacks up with 5'11 guys.

Andrea said on 24/Oct/18
Zampo, while it is true that he doesn't look over 5'10.75 HERE, Rob's photos with celebrities don't always reflect celebrities' "true heights" (and in fact most of the time they don't, apparently). If Michael isn't over 5'10.75 because he doesn't look over 5'10.75 with Rob, by the same token, as I said in the past, guys like Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are 182 range, Dolph Lundgren 186-7, Brett Dalton 185 MAX, Colin Salmon 6'3 range, Harold Perrineau 5'9 range, etc. , which I highly doubt (also because that would mean that Rob pretty much sucks at guessing height in person).
From what I've seen of Michael (and regardless of how tall he looks with Rob), 181 is a good shout, IMO.

@Christian 6'5 3/8", wouldn't disagree with you there. I still think he is around 5'10.75 just that more likely to measure in the 5'10.75-5'11 zone rather than my initial guess which was more 5'10.5-5'10.75.

@Christian 6'5 3/8"
Agreed, but he has a far from a average sized head. I think his head size would push him to roughly 5'11. There are some height differentials a photo will not be able to grasp well. I can definitely see him having a 4.8-4.9 inch eye-head level which would put him at roughly 180 cm.

I think with now a better understanding of heights (eye-levels, head sizes etc) that the nearest cm he would measure to would be 180 thus there is therefore a good chance he could measure 5'11 flat. Don't think he would measure much more than 5'11 (180.3 cm).

Going solely off the height chart, he doesn’t look over maybe 179-180 range max. Really 179. He has thick hair which gives the illusion he is taller than he is and if we look closely at the height chart, Rob has the line slightly above where his scalp would be. It’s not at the top of his head like Rob has his in the pic. Now it’s possible Rosenbaum isn’t standing as tall in the pic as he would at other times that Rob has seen him or that Rob may have potentially improperly guaged footwear between the two. But the pic speaks to a weak 5’11” Rosenbaum. And even if he were really that, His hair is long and he could give an impression of being a tad taller. Also we’re talking 2.5” vs 2 3/4-3”. That said, Rob could be off by a CM

Editor RobWhilst always a chance of under 5ft 11, I think for me the odds are far greater of being a bit over 5ft 11 than under.

Rob,
This is a tricky one. If your height line chart is indeed accurate, the above pic is a really good example to use to help judge ones height, as Michael is standing well and not tilting his head. Based on the photo alone, 5'10.75 range.

Editor Rob for Hogan, it's a question of whether he stands tall in photos. It's hard to Tell if he is in the photo.

The pictures are not that important to me its the fact that Rob was able to get close to someone and size them up. Pictures do in fact lie sometimes. Also, I don't know if some people really understand the concept of dropping height. When a taller person puts his arm around shorter people like that he is almost certainly not standing as tall as possible.

Photos don't lie, huh? If you think that way, as I said, most of the celebrities that Rob has met should be downgraded by a noticeable amount. I guess you think that guys like Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are 182 range, Dolph Lundgren 186-7, Brett Dalton 185 MAX, Colin Salmon 6'3 range, Harold Perrineau 5'9 range,... right? After all, that's what they look with Rob and... photos don't lie. And, hey, I named only a few but the list is quite long... 😊
Michael does look near 5'10.75, as you say, with Rob. I completely agree. This doesn't necessarily mean he'd measure that low, though. On Smallville he generally does look more 5'11-5'11.5 range than say 5'10.5-5'11 but I guess that's because most of the cast is a bit overlisted... 😉
Oh and it's funny you say that Michael can't be over 5'10.75 because he doesn't look over that mark with Rob but at the same time you guessed Keith David as a 182 guy when he in fact doesn't look much different than Michael with Rob... 😂

Michael does look near 5'10.75, as you say, with Rob. I completely agree. This doesn't necessarily mean he'd measure that low, though. On Smallville he generally does look more 5'11-5'11.5 range than say 5'10.5-5'11 but I guess that's because most of the cast is a bit overlisted... 😉
Oh and it's funny you say that Michael can't be over 5'10.75 because he doesn't look over that mark with Rob but at the same time you guessed Keith David as a 182 guy when he in fact doesn't look much different than Michael with Rob... 😂

@Andrea
Photos don't lie. He looks 179-180 next to Rob so he's 179-180, no matter how you much want him to be taller. Btw his eyelevel's exactly on the 5'6" line and he's not tilting down his head either so he can't be 5'11.25". And he has a 4.5-4.75" eyelevel which is average for guys his head size, so he's 5'10.75" range. And most of the Smallville cast is listed a bit high anyways.

He does look comfortably over 5'10 with Rob, at least 179-80 range. That being said, I doubt he would ever measure under 180! Rob, do you agree that he'd be AT LEAST a couple of cms taller than Big Josh?
I'm sure there are some scenes on Smallville where he can look at least 4 inches shorter than Tom (when Tom is in bigger shoes) but, when they are in similar shoes, it looks less. 3.5 inches between them is quite possible.
I think he's got a bigger chance of measuring over 5'11 than a guy like DiCaprio...

Editor Rob I think from seeing him again up close he looked a very big 5ft 11 guy, so I feel 181 is a good enough guess, I'd be shocked if he measured under 5ft 11!

@Andrea: you said it very well. Most of the celebrities should be downgraded. Not so much the ones Rob has met and based on but because the more honest ones pretty much out the others standing next to them like the Rock for example. Not all of them are off but a good bit are and the ones where Rob has met them they are usually a lot closer in height but even a few are listed taller than they are as well.

Based on what, Christian? If you base your estimates on Rob's photos alone, most of celebrities should be downgraded and many of them by a "noticeable" amount. I do agree that Michael doesn't really look over 180 with Rob and maybe 179-80, as you say, is not unreasonable here but that is generally too low for him! Having seen him on Smallville and a few other things, I can't see him under 5'11 and he may well be a bit over...
It would be interesting to calculate the average "height loss" in Rob's pictures with celebrities, how tall they look with him (which is pretty much a FACT) vs how tall he thought they were in person. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like 2cms...

Yeah, it is believable. 179 is BS! He never looked that short on Smallville. As I said, maybe he is closer to 180 on a bad day but I wouldn't argue any less. He generally looked a bit shorter than John Glover on the show, maybe right around 2 cms. And John himself I think was very near 6' back then...

I agree that he probably doesn't look over 180 with Rob here but I doubt he's as low as 179. Even on Smallville I wouldn't have guessed him under 5'11... Maybe you can argue he could be closer to 180 than 181 at his low but a fraction over 5'11, as listed, isn't unreasonable at all!
I managed to see a few pictures from the last event and I think he can still pull off a decent 5'11...

Well, if he measured something like 180.5-180.7 at his low, that would still be just over 5'11 but maybe not quite 181 :)
Is there any possibility he's just 5'11 flat or you're quite sure he'd measure over that mark?
As i said, he doesn't look over 180 with you, so this would be another case of a celebrity looking shorter next to Big Rob?

Editor Rob With michael our footwear was quite similar, but there are other people who might not be exactly same but looked strong 5ft 11, a bit over that mark.
For instance a guy like Sean Patrick Flannery had a fraction more and looked in that 181 zone up close, Aaron Ashmore looked about that strong 5ft 11 range but with a fraction less footwear so more 182 range.
A guy like chris gorham is somewhere in that 181-2 zone.
Finn Jones up close looks in that zone, over 5ft 11 flat.
Tim Russ maybe is a 181 type guy now. Joe Flanigan can look that range too, 181-2..

Rob, would you say Michael's range is more 180-181 or 181-182? I think he's a solid 5'11 guy so 5'11.25 fits him... He's another guy who seems convinced to be 6', since he's claimed that in many occasions but that's probably a 'shoe measurement'... I think you can safely rule out 6', 5'11-5'11.25 is what he looks with you!

sid, your definitely right! Michael Rosenbaum is exactly 5'11. I was able to meet him very briefly while he was in Vancouver, Canada shooting Smallville. He was an inch taller than me and I am a strong 5'10. And we both had similar footwear on so that couldn't have gave him any extra height. Also, he's half an inch taller than Topher Grace (5'10.5) and a little over an inch taller than Kevin Spacey (5'9.75). He was also in a movie with Jason Isaacs (5'11) and they were the same height. The extra quarter inch is unnecessary because he's clearly a strong 5'11 but nothing more! However, he can look 6'0 in shoes but barefoot nothing more than a solid 5'11.

Michael definitely does not stand straight-up. Anyone posing that way, arms apart from each other and put on people shoulders, has to appear shorter than he really is; the same for the other pic where Michael who doesn't care about his height or look, is visibly slouching or at least, very relax. Rob looks straight-up because he has to be so for being a good and useful landmark. In my opinion, he looks shorter than ever in the only show I have seen him and presumably loses here about an inch or at least half of an inch. I don't see him less than 182cm anyway.

should look like next to a 173cm(5"8)
person. We need to bring this guy
down. I see 179cm in the older pic.
In the new pic I see 177-178cm max.
Official height is IMO, 179.5cm(5"10.75) and no more...

If you've never meet a 5'11" guy whose said he's 6 foot- you need to get out more.
What's with the anti-Americanism? We didn't adopt metric- you did- get over it.

It's still pretty hard to comment Patrick and it all depends on the height of Arnold,I always thought 6'1 and he's on this site at 6'1 but I'm not sure,I'll say 182 for Mr.Rosenbaum or a weak 6'0.

Rosenbaum is hard to say exactly. In Smallville, he looked about 6' but looks 5'11" in the photos above. I think he's really 5'11.5" but that's just my rough estimate.

His forehead is closer to 5 inches. Taking into account his loose posture as well, 5 11.5 is a very real possibility IMO. 5'11.25 is the lowest I would give him. His hair is very misleading though I must say.

That clip as many others of that ilk doesn't mean anything because of depth of field which here, makes Jared, much taller than both of them, looking almost alike!
Anyway, M. Rosenbaum is visibly 6' what is not that tall after all; He looks so with any other star guest in SV. 5'11 does not give that impression, never on screen;

Thank you pgv. Check out the pics of Routh and the rock, according to most Routh's hair makes him look taller. Yet his hair isn't that long or outrageous and The rock's head is more or less shaven.

OK, more reason to take into consideration other parts of the head: eyebrow line, nose etc.
Worse: sometime, somebody appear at first sight taller (or shorter) than another and, then, looking at them better and more accurately, it turns out to be the contrary! That happens often when a "James Dean hairdo actor" opposite to a "flat hairdo" one;
Remember how Robert Conrad appeared much taller when "Rocker style hairdone" than after, with a so-called "modern" and "flat" hairdo which, furthermore, took a lot of the character's personality away.

Again, there is a difference between a whacky, tall hairdo and a thick head of hair. A bald person always appears taller next to someone of similar height if the other person has a normal grade of hair. The only time some of similar height looks taller next to a bald person is when there is a "tall" hairsyle in play.

a man alone, with no one next to him allowing to make a comparison may, indeed, eventually, look taller; it's a psychological impression; in the same way he can appear "more evil" or tougher;
the same with somebody next to him will often look smaller because of what the eye perceives: a mass (of hair)!
if you take two same height persons, one being bawld and the other with a lot of thick and high hair, it is normal, logical and obvious that the second will "be" and not only appearing, taller; it's "fake" but hi will be;
that's the reason why i ALWAYS take into consideration the "eyebrow, eye, nose base line" as reference;
of course, some people have notable differences in the proportions of their respective faces and heads;
nevertheless, by and large, people have more or less the same proportion of forehead height for example and this whatever tall they are.
the height of shoulder line is not really convincing: James Caan or the late Anthony Perkins have or had, bery "high" shoulders when guys like Kirk Douglas and many black people have "low" ones;
last point: the global size, volume of the head; that varies a lot from one individual to anothe and, as result, influences your appreciation;
for example, a man like Steven Seagal already very tall, is often considered as "even taller" (often 6'6 or more); the same with David Morse; WHY ? because S Seagal has a long but not "important" head; its mass is much less big than many of his costars;
D Morse has him, a short head and a long neck, like S Seagal and both have, above all Seagal, high shoulders;
all of these factors can induce you to bieleve them taller than they really are (and, "they really are"!).

That's odd because everytime a height of a male celebrity with a thickful of hair comes into question, someone always says "his hair makes him look taller."

Hair reduces the appereance of the height of the top of the head. Unless you have some really crazy hair cut or some hair really stacked up high, being bald does make one look taller.

Yeah, he is about 5ft11, but having no hair certainly makes him appear taller than what he actually is! Sometimes you look at him in Smallville, and he looks really tall, about 6ft2. But he aint that tall, just looks tall with his bald scalp

I DO BACK THE JOHN'S QUESTION UP !
John Glover is A GREAT ACTOR and certainly deserves, in my opinion, a place within this very interesting sites (beyond the "haight topic" by itself);
Frankly, some people are...OK, let's say definitly "less" interesting!
By the way, John Glover is 6'1 so "some" will say he is 5'11 or less; read my lips!

Tom Welling seems a bit taller than him, 3' or 4' inches. Tom is closer to 6'3" according to a friend of mine that went to school with him.

Not the best picture, but here is one of him with 6'1" Tom Arnold in 2003. Tom has his head back, and we can't see footwear, but maybe this will help in the discussion. Does it only look like 1" difference?

He looks 6 ft, the first time i saw him in a scene with Jensen in smallville, Rosey looked taller. I wonder how he grew 9 to 10 inches after highschool he was probably exaggerating is 5'2" height

According to this article he mentions he was 5-foot-2 when graduated from high school and grew "9 or 10 inches" in college. Which would put him at 5'11 to 6'.

Whiel not the best angle, Michael is decidedly AT LEAST 3" shorter than 6'2" Alan Ritchson from the pics at www.smallville-news.com. For some reason, the links don't work. But, I truly believe that Michael is no taller than 5'10" barefoot. Pics:
