He's clearly taller than any of the 6ft2 guys who Rob has met so he can rule that out.
6ft3 overall is fine. Can look a little above or below it...

Shoulder bone is pretty much at Rob's eye level that's consistent with a 6'3 guy, I've never seen a 6'2 guy have that high of a shoulder next to Rob.
Definitely losing height as far as eye-level goes but how much? Hard to say.
I'd say definitely not less than a weak 6'3 or solid 190.

Falls into almost 6ft3 range overall.

🍎 Paul, the guy with the cidery name, can have 6ft2.75 this time round. 🍎
I was going to go with 6ft2.5 but I changed my mind when I saw the average.

If you watch in him in Season 3 of 24 he's a minimum 6.5" -7" taller than 5'8.5" Kiefer Sutherland. I think Rob is correct he's not below 190.5cm at all. He also holds a much looser posture in general and is not "Henry Cavill" level height conscious. I believe the lowest he could be is 190cm but I wouldn't be surprised with 190.5cm/6'3". In fact I think he's 6'3". Not everyone is going to stand at full posture, particularly in pictures with someone ~7" shorter...going by just one picture isn't sufficient....

Lol funny how he's listed as 75.5 inches on the dot on Google and thus rounded to 6'4.... nah he's a solid 6'3 and dips to 6'2.5 at most in the evening, not 6'3.5.

Those who are saying that Paul doesn't look over 6'2", are probably forgetting the fact that his posture's looser than Rob's. He looks at least a good 6'2.5", maybe 6'2.75"

Editor RobPaul was a guy who used to put down 6ft 2 as his height, but he just seemed taller than that in TV shows and in person. 2.75 would be a bit of a possibility, but that might be lowest I'd ever guess.
Bobby said on 5/Nov/18
6'2 by the scale but he's slouching and losing posture, maybe a weak 6'3? If he straightened up, I can definitely see him clearing 6'2 by a good fraction. Maybe 189cm range.

@ Jordan87 - We can't always go 100% on pictures alone! I'm going to have to see him act before I can give an accurate analysis, but until then, I shall settle for Rob's 6ft3 and come back later with my tail between my legs if I think otherwise when I've seen him perform! 🐒

@ Rob - Absolutely! He is definitely too tall to to be a flat 6'2"! The average voters may be correct, 25 people must know a thing or two! On the other hand I think your listing is reasonable!

Editor RobHe generally looks over 6ft 2 in most of what he's done, though there is a greater chance he could measure under 6ft 3 than over it barefoot.

If you look at the way Paul hips are placed, he is giving a lean. Rob has the posture advantage. If you Straighten him up I bet he is going to hit at least 6'2.5.

Editor Rob I#ll add it, but I think he can stretch up to 6ft 3 as he really looked it. Certainly I thought Amell was standing better than Paul, there's a good 2 inches between them in person.

Is this a new picture or it's been on here for a while?
He does look more 6'2 than 6'3 range with you...
I haven't seen more than a few eps of Arrow (a few years ago) but he never looked over 6'3 to me, even if you had him at 6'3.5 or 6'3.75 at that time, I think. Do you think he could be 6'2.5-6'2.75 range or he must be right around the 6'3 mark? Did he look taller than Brandon Routh in person?

Editor Rob Blackthorne in person is comfortably taller than Routh, think he'd measure right on 6ft 3, similar to lars mikkelsen really.

Could you add season 3 of 24 to his TV series credits, Rob? Played the season's main villain... Interestingly, his character was described in one episode to stand at only 5'10" even though this guy is obviously huge! 6'3" range seems about fine.

Well he's definitely not under 6'3. He looked much taller than supposed 6'2 Tim DeKay on 'White Collar'. But then DeKay can look close in height with 6'1 Sharif Atkins on the show, so he might not be much over 6'1.5. Near 2 inches taller than DeKay was the impression I got of Blackthorne compared to him, so I'd say 6'3.5 is a good shout. And another thing: Paul was described as 5'10 in '24'! Just goes to show how little you can actually put into an actor's listing on a show/movie.

Blackthorne played Harry Dresden in the Dresden Files--the character is 6'4" and he fit the height requirement. In the novels, Dresden drove a Volkswagen Bug, but Blackthorne's legs were so long they ended up scrapping that, and put him into a Jeep instead. So yeah, he's pretty darn tall.

I just saw the premiere episode of his new series, "The Dresden Files". My first impression was he's not more than 6'0", but then again on the show he has a disheveled appearance, not the majestic aura that goes with someone 6'3" or taller.
