The Previous Comment I made, for Mr. Picardo, was meant for His Height Estimated only when 'Barefoot'....
Clearly, on the Voyager Show, in Shoes, Robert looked like He was very close to 6 feet (like 5'11.5", or at least a Solid 5'11" (Again, WITH Shoes)).
Rob, what are your thoughts on Picardo wearing Lifts during Star Trek Voyager!?
Like, what was that all about!?
Because, ain't 5'9" Tall Enough as to Not Necessitate wearing Lifts/Elevator Shoes...!?

Philip Z, I agree with you; Picardo indeed looked Comfortably ~5'10"-5'10.5" in Voyager [I'm Watching the Show in 2023]. Thus, it's Surprising the "Doctor" is only 5'9" flat, for Reals. Mr. Picardo wearing Lifts in Voyager does seem more and more likely, at least to me!

Always looked similar to 5ft 10 listed Garrett Wang and 5ft 10.5 listed Robert Beltran on Voyager, yet struggles to look 5ft 9 off camera. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he was rocking minor lifts (1-1.5 inches) while doing Voyager.

Strange and unnecessary statement for him to mention he's 'non-dyslexic' The majority of people are, but there are still really intelligent dyslexic people out there

Editor Robhe had previously quoted Bob Hoskins "dyslexic, 5ft 6" and was then replying with that quote.

I did think he was 5’8” but maybe 5’8.5-75”? 5’9” is definitely the most he is for sure.

Editor RobThe times I've seen him, 5ft 9 seems fair, however I do think by the age I met him he might have lost 1cm, as on shows like Voyager he pulls off 5ft 9.5 range.

Rob, would you say he's a full 5ft 9, or a bit below?
Editor Rob

Editor RobI feel he was full 5ft 9 range, not seen him in a while so he might be at an age that he's lost another fraction.

He does seem like the ultimate a$$hole to me now just looking at how he seems to write quite well even when he is enraged or inebriated (probably both) and he did have a good education from reading up on him, and finally he uses twitter to claim a height which shows to me he is more likely to be looking at his online profile and he uses twitter frequently and from looking at his Twitter is not afraid to express his opinions using vulgar language at times. I would be shocked if it is anyone except him now.

Editor RobI gave a hint on 18/Jan that if you connect the dots it makes sense, but I won't call him out directly, as maybe he wasn't himself that moment of gibberish.

I'm SURE I saw him in a funny dog movie the other Sunday!
He does comedy very well and includes it in his role as the doctor in 'Voyager'!
I see he makes fun of his own appearance from the above remark, but there's really no need! I think he looks fine!
There's nothing wrong with being an average 5ft9 either!

This guy was very funny and a decent actor though not super successful.
He looks 5 8.5 with bad posture he looks pretty old so he was likely 5 9 or even close to 5 10 younger.

He is 5'9". Looked average on Voyager, which show had a shorter cast. When he guested on Deep Space Nine, he looked short next to the tallish cast, especially 6'1" Avery Brooks and 6' Alexander Siddig.

Looks perfectly 5'9 with Rob, who isn't a weak 5'8 by the way, and considering Welling is teetering on 6'3, he would tower him.

Rob, you confirmed Paul McGillion as 5'8.5"
Robert & Paul have many scenes facing each other on Atlantis, and Robert always appears 1-2" taller. I was as surprised as anyone because I always pictured Robert as smaller and Paul as average-sized.
Given Atlantis episodes like "The Seed," if Paul is 5'8.5, Robert is a solid 5'10.

5'8.25 max!! He was in an episode of Smallville and Tom Welling totally dwarfed him! I would say 5'7 but since Rob is weak 5'8, I'd give him 5'8.25.

Doesnt looked tiny next to Richard Dean Anderson on Stargate Atlantis. Looked good, maybe 5-6 cms smaller, not more.

I wonder if he wore lifts in The Howling, in which looks like a head taller than 5'8" Dennis Dugan before he transforms into a wolf (spoiler?)

5'8.5" - 5'9" guy. I don't think he's as low as 5'8" flat, he's clearly taller than Rob.

Remember guys he is 57 so probably 5'9 in his 20's but for sure today he is more 5'8 than 5'9.
today 5'8.5 (174cm)
Peak 5'9 (175cm)
Just a normal height guy all round.

Looks about 5'8.5, maybe 5'9 flat MAX. He's also a tiny bit closer to the camera.

I did think he was a full 5'8". However now I see him in this pic and it looks about a 1/2 to 3/4" difference. So I say he is a little less than 5'9". Definitly not 5'10" as he gave out.

Rob, he looks exactly your height, therefore 5ft 8in. Uhm, well his head is a bit tilted so that may rob him 1/2 an inch?. Unless he was wearing flatter shoes than you.

Here are 2 Rob's in one photo. We can conclude with reason one Robert is taller than the other. I say 5ft9 is a good conclusion.

This height is incorrect. He is taller than alleged 5'10ers Robert Beltran and Garrett Wang. I think Picardo may be just under 6'0. At least 5'10 and if so, those other guys' need to be corrected.

That's surprising. He seemed quite tall on Enterprise. Not many people entering his sick bay were shorter than him. Maybe it's his lanky proportions.
Not that 5'9.5" is short, it's solidly average height.
