Michael Shanks Height
6ft 0 (182.9 cm)
Canadian actor, best known for his portrayal of Daniel Jackson on Sci-Fi series Stargate: SG 1.

In these convention photos Michael had about 1/4 inch more footwear.

The name Michael Shanks casts my mind back to memories of a rock outfit called The Michael Schenker Group, formed by the German guy Michael Schenker, who was formally in the eminent bands The Scorpions and UFO.
Michael, who together with Rob, takes a real feel-good picture, looks a fairly weak 6ft, but I don't see any reason to give him below that magic 6ft as he's doing the friendly thing of turning inwards to look more approachable for the camera and the viewers of the resultant pic. 👌😁

Rob, do you think Michael Shanks edge out Ben Browder in person?

Editor RobShanks the first couple of times I seen him looked a classic six footer, last time I wasn't as sure.
Browder I thought did seem near enough 6ft too, I do think he has a bigger head in person which decreased his perceived height.

An edit to last comment. 171.5cm is actually the expected eye-height of a proper 6’0”...

@Visitor to me a 6footer has a 172cm eyelevel. 171.5cm is definitely on the low end for a legit 6'0", but not unlikely.

I just happened to see an episode of Stargate. There was one clear, perfectly aligned shot of Shanks with Ben Browder and Browder was noticeably taller. Then in another shot Shanks was standing next to Beau Bridges and they looked very close to the same height even though Bridges was in dress shoes and Shanks in combat boots! Those were some chunky combat boots btw (all of them, there was a brief close up of them).
Since both Browder and especially Bridges are a lot older than Shanks, if anyone had lost any height, it certainly wouldn't have been Shanks. So that's a bit puzzling. I don't know how tall Bridges was at that time but I don't think all three of them were 183 cm...

Charles-Guillaume, that's a bit of an odd example since (for males) a 9 inch head is spot on average, not small. Head size isn't really related to height either.
Assuming a 6 ft guy with a 4.5" eye level, the eye height would be at 5'7.5" ... Shanks doesn't quite look that tall especially as he's the one with the thicker shoes. Seems more like 5'11".

Bugs, a person with an eye-level of 5'8 or over would be quite unlikely to measure only 6'0, given that the average eye-level for such a height is a little bit over 4.5". For a "six-footer" to have his eyes over 5'8 he would have to have an eye level under 4" which is certainly unusual, probably more so than having an eye level over 5 inches (eye height of 5'7 or less for 6').
To take myself as an example, I am around 179.5 cm in the afternoon/evening and my eye level is 4.3 inches. I definitely have a fairly small head at 9 inches or a tiny fraction above. For someone more than an inch taller than me to have a significantly smaller eye level sounds fairly odd.

I dont think shanks has lost any height but the strange thing is that he pretty much always wears thick boots which seem to are about 5 cm that would make him 188cm. Why would a 6 guy need to wear massive footwear maybe he is Only a little over 5'11"

Andrea said on 3/Aug/17
Good picture, Josh! Although he looks closer to 5'11 than 6', especially if you consider the fact that he has more footwear there...
I haven't seen much stuff of his. Only Smallville, in fact. From what I remember, he did look at least near 3 inches shorter than Tom. I'm sure I have seen a backstage photo with him and Tom a few years ago where he could look near 4 inches smaller, though. I can't find it now but maybe he's a guy who can look 5'11 with bad posture and stretch to about 6' when standing tall... Even with Rob he doesn't quite look 6'.

@ Sandy Cowell
Rob will be giving you the keys to celebheights! Well I am not sure that Rob is a full 5'9" but he could be 5'9" if he rounded up! Maybe he is a little bit taller than he has us know! So I think you could be close! I also think that Michael Shanks is full value for a 6'0" quote!
Have a great weekend Sandy! I will probably stay at home and if the weather is nice sit in the garden, I will take it easy, and of course visit cekebheights! I will eat a lot of fruit!
Enjoy watching the new films!
Cheers!

Editor Rob whilst Jenny has shrunk over the years of this site, I have remained steady, even though I spend too long in a computer chair.
Shanks looked an honest six footer in the Noughties at least, nowadays, well I was surprised he didn't seem as tall in 2017 as 2007-8.

@ Nik - Thank you very much indeed! It is true though, don't you think? The other 'lad' does look a good, healthy 5ft9, and I SO wouldn't say that if I didn't see it!
Anyway, enjoy your weekend too, Nik! Have you any nice plans? I intend to relax, eat lots of fresh fruit and see a film or two that will be fresh out of the wrappings, in other words, brand spanking new!

He's not 6 ft. If he was, his eye level would be very noticeably OVER the top of Rob's head. It's nowhere near that mark. And don't bother mentioning his posture, he's NOT hunching or slouching. His back is straight and he's only slightly leaning.
Seeing that he also had thicker soled shoes closes the case shut. Straighten that lean and deduce that 1/4 of an inch (and the cap, and the hair compressed under the cap) - he's definitely not 4 full inches taller than Rob. He's 5'11 something. People these days don't seem to realize that a legitimately 6 ft guy IS TALL. It's a weird universal inflation phenomenon, people who are 6 ft are described or listed as 6'1" and so on.

Editor Rob F97, it depends...Shanks in many photos never stands tall, but if he did he'd look about 183cm, I'm sure would edge out a 182cm man.
F97 said on 11/Feb/17
Correct me if I am wrong Rob but it seems to me that shanks grew in his 30s. What I find strange is that if you look at season 1 and 2 of stargate sg1 shanks does look to be about 6 foot or ( 182-183 cm to me) compared to amanda tapping. Although he is towered by both richard dean anderson and Chris judge. In later seasons from season 7 and Especially season 9 and 10 judge looks to be about 4 cm taller than shanks and richard looks to be only 2 cm taller. What do you think Rob? Did he grow in his 30s or Did both judge and anderson lose height. Thought shanks looked maximum 5'11" in the first seasons and than in the later ones he Did look like a legit 6 footer.

Editor Rob Anderson and Judge I feel dropped a fraction by later seasons...Judge was lifting heavy weights, over 15 years of that and I wouldn't be surprised if it effected him a bit.
Anderson isn't even over 6ft today, he's dropped well over an inch by mid 60's.

I think height is not important but quality of acting by Mr. Shanks is great, he is talented in acting and I would like to met him some day, I've had the pleasure meeting RDA in 1970 playing Hockey with Richard at Elliot Park MPLS, at NCBC. I think Michael really came into his own after his return to stargate sg1. I think all the cast made the show a highly rated.
