Mitch Pileggi's Height
6ft ½ in (184.2 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 1 (185.4 cm)
American actor, best known for playing Agent Walter Skinner on The X Files. He has also had memorable roles as Colonel Caldwell on Stargate Atlantis and Samuel Campbell on Supernatural. In this London Film Con photo, Mitch had 0.7 inch more footwear than me. On his twitter page he once mentioned his height, saying that he was "6' 2". Not sure what that is in metrics."

⚡️🍦 Mitch’s movie Shocker is well worth investigating if you haven’t already seen it. I have a ‘craving’ to watch it right now, but I’ll have to wait for my new TV to arrive today!
⚡️⚡️
Mitch would never have won the lead in Shocker if
he was short. He gets ‘power roles’ because he’s tall with a big build.
6ft1 peak and 6ft0.25 today. He showed up in Medium 🔮and, of course, was a regular in The ‘X’ Files.

He's slouching a little bit but he looks like a solid 6'0 1/2 guy in this picture. I have the feeling that he has a high eye level for his height and a bit smaller than average forehead

I think he's dropping a little height in pic but look at high his shoulder opposite of Rob is. It's obvious he's a big guy and I can easily see at minimum the listed 6'0.5 and a peak 6'1.
Spot on listing.

Mitch, Gillian and David D are just three stars from the 'X' Files who immediately spring to mind for making some truly thrilling films apart from their 'X' Files episodes.
Mitch gets 6ft1 for his peak and three-quarters of an inch less for today. The above picture is, after all, 9 years old!

I observed the height difference between Mitch and Robert Patrick the other night, and it was indeed a noticeable one. I'd say a strong two inches, so it's six foot one from me. He shows us how tall six one really is in his film entitled 'Shocker'. ⚡🤯⚡ When I first saw it, I reckoned on six two or more.
Peak - 6ft1.25
Now - 6ft0.5
Nice friendly, cheerful picture of Mitch 'n' Rob! 😁🤝😆

Editor RobAgainst the other guys on X-Files I think around 6ft 1...I wouldn't go with 1.25 though, although he could look taller in person because he had a cowboy boot on - but still, michael madsen had a cowboy boot on and looked taller than Mitch comfortably...before he then lost height. Mitch I think has held up reasonably well.

Still edged out Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman in SOA. No less than 184cm today. Peak I think 185.5-186cm. Clearly taller than Duchovny in the early years of X-Files.
6ft2 is a bit of a stretch though. Probably a shoe claim

However, I saw Mitch in an 'X' File just now and he looked taller than Robert Patrick. Well, let's face it, he is!

I couldn't have been more wrong!
The killer, it would seem, is a young girl. How on Earth does a girl that young have the knowledge to drain the blood from the bodies of people? Is there a twist in this? Allison, played by Patricia Arquette, has been dreaming about this girl too!

Urghhh! Mitch isn't half in some freaky stuff! His part in the 'X' Files seems to be the most savoury; then he is in 'Shocker', which is thoroughly nasty, and I have just noticed his name pop up at the beginning of an episode of 'Medium', called 'There Will Be Blood'. A family of four has been found dead and arranged in such a way that they are sitting down in their living room as though they were alive. One more gory thing - they have been completely drained of blood and there is no sign of the red fluid on the premises.
My suspicions point to Pileggi as the weirdo who is responsible for this atrocity. I'll have to see if I'm right....
6ft1.25 peak;
6ft0.25 now.

There's no getting away from it, Rob! You have met many, many members of The 'X' Files! I just counted 10!
Gillian Anderson is incredible, as is Robert Patrick. I really felt my luck was in the day I found he'd be taking over from Mulder, because if anyone could fit the bill, it was Robert. He was ace in 'T2' and a film called 'Fire In The Sky', which was very 'X' Files-like and supposedly based on fact.
As for Mitch Pileggi's noteworthy film work, has anyone seen 'Shocker'? It's a Wes Craven film going back some years now, and Mitch looks a STRONG 6ft1 in that. I'd even have believed more at the time I first saw it.

Mitch always appeared shorter next to David Duchovny on The X-Files to me. In fact, I remember having seen 6'0" listings for Mitch years ago. Duchovny was closer to 6'1" in the 1990's.

"Peak height was 6ft 1.25in (186cm)"
"Mitch Pileggi's height is 6ft 0.75in (185cm)"
Looks tall in early X-Files. Right between Duchovny and William B. Davis. He is also still listed at 6ft1.5/187cm in most places. I think he was near that at some point in his 30s. Looks a fraction below 6ft1 today, but most likely still edges Duchovny.

The fact that Pileggi was never more than 6'1" indicates that David Duchovny was never over 183 cm. The latter can look a bit over 6 foot even but was consistently shorter than Pileggi.

Why does he appear to be looking UP at Jensen Ackles in some episodes of Supernatural? When he was the resurrected Grandpa Samuel, he looked to be at least three inches shorter than Ackles when standing next to him. What gives?

His loss of hair has revealed his true height. 6ft1. But he was at least 1 inch taller than Duchovny. I think it's a safe bet that he was 6ft2 say 20 years ago.

I agree with you, he looks to be 185cm He guest stars in Stargate Atlantis sometimes and he is taller than the other actors....and he even looks a bit taller than David Duchovny.
Mitch and Gillian Anderson looked so cute together in The X Files, because she is small.
