Rainn Wilson's Height
6ft 1 (185.4 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 1 ⅝ (187 cm)
American Actor best known for his role in TV series The Office (US). In film he has appeared in Super, Juno and The Rocker. On an early acting resume he had himself listed "Height: 6'2", Weight: 165 [lbs]".
[I'm] 6ft 1 and 5/8ths. - US Magazine
I'm 6' 1&1/2" tall and I weigh 198.

Well, fortunately, as I get older my height is decreasing. I was once 6'2", but now I'm squarely 6'1...I'm 49, and the spine is starting to bend. -- American Theatre, 2016
The two leads [in The Two Noble Kinsmen] were myself and the actor Peter Jacobson. He is about five feet five and extremely (what's the PC way of saying it these days?) "ethnic." Side by side with me at six feet two and 165 pounds of pale geek meat, we were the most ridiculous set of warrior brothers you've ever seen on stage.

i dont see the 2 cm shrinkage. Peak 187. Could have been measured late in the evening at his low and was 186 and rounded down to 6´1. At most 1 cm loss at that age.

He is still taller than 6'1. I seen him on the Office he might have been almost 6'2 in his prime.

Everyone looks taller on TV so who knows if he is over 6'1" and near 6'2" or even a flat 6 foot . I'd lean lower rather than taller if I had to guess based upon that fact

I went back and read like 7 years of comments here and no evidence show. Of shrinkage other than Rainn's own comment which may have been measurement at different time of day, etc. So why the peak height and lowered height, @Rob?

Editor RobIf I ignore what Rainn said, then do I believe he's lying or mistaken about shrinking...I'm not sure about that.

Did he really look a full inch shorter than Kransinski in the early seasons of the office? I don’t think so. And kransinski doesn’t look under 6’2 1/2 early on. Rainn did look very close to 6’2 peak, any where between 6’ 1 1/2 and 6’2 is fair

Gabe: 6’4
Roy: 6’3 1/2- 6’3 3/4
Sea monster(Patrice O’neal): 6’3 1/2 ( rip Patrice, but he really didn’t look full 6’4 on the office, Roy seems to be the taller one, posture might play a part tho)
Bob Vance: 6’3
Jim: 6’2 1/2 (can look weak 6’3 in the early seasons, but seems closer to 6’2 in later seasons, comparing to idris Elba etc)
Packer: 6’2 ( prime example of 6’2 really)
Dwight: 6’1 3/4 early seasons and falls near 6’1 later on, both him and Jim look noticeably shorter in later seasons for some reason.
Darryl: 6’1 1/2 there are several shots in seasons 5 and 6 that show him edging out Dwight, his build makes him look shorter

I can't get the image of Rainn and the funny little Ellen Page character from 'Super' out of my head!
It's not surprising that, next to her, he looked like a giant.
Many a man of Rainn's years hasn't even begun the slippery slope to shrinkage yet. What a shame it's bitten him on the bum already. 🤷♀️
Peak height - 6ft1 7/8ths
Now - 6ft1

@berta Chances are he round down from 6'1 1/4 to 6'1 from his doctor office and goes down 6'1-6'1 1/8 worst low of the day and was a 6'1 1/2 solid low from his peak. 186.7cm peak and 185.5cm now.

6'1 1/8 or 186cm still believable. Rainn Wilson doesn't look to lost 1.6cm if to choose i'll say 1 to 1.33cm lost is trust worthy.

Surely through healthy living and regular exercise one wouldn't have such back problems as to a person with a smaller torso at 50.

@Christian - having a very large torso in proportion to your body is also really helpful in swimming- just look at Michael Phelps.

@Christian
Torso length probably correlates with overall upper-body size. All else being equal, a larger upper-body grants more physical strength. Men are stronger than women in large part because of larger upper-bodies relative to height.

@Animus
Having a long torso IMO is a disadvantage when it comes to looking taller and preserving height and back problems. Long legs/short torso combination makes you look taller proportionally as well as having less back problems and height loss at old age. Maybe the only advantages to having a long torso are that you can look taller when sitting down and can find pant lengths easier.

He is a long torso man. Rob, do you think longer torsos mean greater likelihood of early and/or excessive shrinkage?

Editor RobThat would be an interesting medical paper...I'd expect the odds were greater for more shrinkage and maybe increased risk of back problems.
Though, type of work plays probably a greater role.

Editor RobHe has been called 6ft 3 on the web in the past, though I think he seems a reasonably honest guy - I do believe he has somehow lost height, whether it is as much as 3/4 inch is debatable though.

@Rampage He look to loss a half inch not quite 1.6cm that big gap, maybe lowest he hold 6'1 1/8 (185.7) before bed.

Wow, I really like that update to 5/8 because some people's heights are actually between 6ft 1.5in and 6ft 1.75in. Also, increases the chances for the height to be in full cm without a decimal

Editor RobI believe Rainn as around 6ft 1, I'd say when he popped up on Star Trek recently, he was edged out by Shazad, but the 5/8ths is certainly a rarity to read.
There's only probably a few actors who ever went with 7/8th or 5/8ths!

@Rampage
I don't "downgrade" anyone, I guess them based on how tall they look to me. Sure, you could argue that many of my guesses are a bit lower than Rob's listings, but it doesn't mean that I'm purposefully somehow "downgrading". The "downgrade" argument some people like to use against people like me and Canson, is really getting old. I'm using logic here, if Rainn claimed both 6'1.5" and even 6'1 5/8", what reason would he have to downplay his height by half an inch? Rampage, you're the same kind of people who will inflate guys like Kobe Bryant to 6'5.5" despite being measured 6'4.75"

The guy has claimed both 6'1 5/8" and 6'1.5", so no way he could be 6'2". I even think that the 6'1 5/8" was an early measurement, since he looked a bit below this even at his peak. Your persistent inflating of celebs is really pathetic.

On the office he could look only 2cm shorter than John kranskinski at times then at other times 4cm or 1.5 inches shorter. I think generally Craig Robinson looked more 6"2 than this guy. I find it hard to believe that at 51 he lost an inch he is someone who has decent posture and is pretty slim so I believe he was always 6"1.5 now maybe 186cm.

I realise rainn wilson often make every co-star look 0.5-0.75 lower than rob listing. Peak wilson only look max 1' shorter than previous 6'3 listed john krasinski who get downgrade at 6'2.75 , i'm kind of think he didn't lost over a fraction. He maybe measure 6'1.6 morning and dip into 6'1 by afternoon and get measure recently that height which he could still be 6'1.5 for a morning range

i think he was at peak a strong 187 guy. like 187,5 maybe and today he may have been measured wrong but lets says he have lost a little ( i dont know havent seen him in anything lately) but probably 186.

I don't know why, but I thought Rainn Wilson was considerably taller - a good couple of inches! Now seeing him in this photo, I have completely revised my thoughts!
I have seen him in 'The Rocker' and 'Super', but as he hangs out with the tiny Ellen Page in the latter of the two films, he is bound to look huge!
Regarding that picture again: he looks a lot slimmer than I remember him to be! His legs look fairly short, and not the legs of the 6ft3 man that I thought he was. I feel 6ft1 is correct and a fair and decent guess for Rainn as he is today. His peak height could have been as much as 6ft2, but I'll put 6ft1 and three quarters, which is bearing in mind people's opinions and his own! (Silly me! We all know what they like to portray for themselves! Ha ha! And what about the rest of the human race? Point taken? Good!) 🙅

I feel 6ft1 is correct and a fair and decent guess for Rainn as he is today. His peak height could have been as much as 6ft2, but I'll put 6ft1 and three quarters, which is bearing in mind people's opinions and his own! (Silly me! We all know what they like to portray for themselves! Ha ha! And what about the rest of the human race? Point taken? Good!) 🙅

Rainn has often towered over his cohorts funny he rarely stars and is not made to look short.
I have seen him appear as tall as 6 3 on tv so 6 2 plus shoes very tall guy terrible posture.
He does look quite unhealthy not surprised he is shrinking already.
Guy is a good bit actor and funny but should not wear that beard.. :#.
Note he made Mat Mac look 5 9 ish and Steve z 5 6 in sahara.

Editor Rob maybe he really did measure lower...his first measurement could have been earlier in the day...he's lost say half inch, the next measurement late afternoon. He thinks he's lost nearly an inch, but it's more like half inch.

Yeah, without the specific quote I think this guy would probably get a 6'1.75" listing. He never looks an inch shorter in The Office than Craig Robinson & yeah only an inch max under Krasinski or Idris Elba. Also towers most of the cast in Super.

"Rainn Wilson's height is 6ft 1.75in (187cm)"
John Krasinski is 6ft2.5/189cm and Ed Helms is 5ft11.5/182cm. If it wasn't for his honesty, I wouldn't doubt 6ft2 minimum

This listing confuses me. Craig Robinson is listed as either 6'1.5 or 6'2. In every scene Rainn Wilson looks about an inch shorter. Footwear could account for a slight advantage but it seems hard to buy that he is much taller than 6'1.25. I'd say 6'1.5 is right for the morning.

I agree with said nobody, I saw a magazine with Melissa's revenge on the front cover, and I read about Rainn Wilson, he is not 6'3", he's 6'2" or 6'1 5/6" to be exact. Seriously in the list of 25 random things about himself he says I'm 6'1 5/6" tall. That only puts him about 6'2". I happen to be 6 ft 3 in by the way, or in "Rainn" speak, 6'2 5/6" well, close enough.

This guy has to be at least 6 ft 2 in. I've seen him standing next to John Krazinski who is 6 ft 3 in. And Rainn looks to be 1 or maybe even 2 inches shorter than John. But then again, maybe it's just his bad posture.
