Sam Neill's Height
5ft 11 ¾ (182.2 cm)
Northern Ireland born New Zealand actor best known for films such as Jurassic Park, Dead Calm, The Piano, Event Horizon and Escape Plan. On twitter he once mentioned he was "A tiny 6 ft tall . Miniscule". In this convention photo I had 1/4 inch more sneaker than him.

Interesting argument viper, quite a few think he was that. I'm beginning to wonder myself what his true peak could have been if he's still managing to appear 182cm range now.
I think it's ludicrous that Fishburne is listed taller...

I could believe a smidge over 6-0 at peak
He could look 6-1 in the Omen 3 at times imo

Agree with Berta. 6ft is probably the right call for Sam's peak if he was still managing 5ft11½ range when Rob met him.

His peak height should be listed at 6'0, with 5'11 1/4 - 5'11 1/2 as his current imo.

i know i have been saying this like 15 time :P but i really think 6 foot was his peak height. The dude is 75 years ol he must have lost 2 cm by now. and he still never look under 181. 183 cm peak. maybe legit 182 when he meet rob at the age of 71 ( 1 cm loss at that age is very good) and today very legit 181, could still be 181,5. He and harrisojn ford back to back in the 80s would really be a fraction difference.

Rob do you think he has a inch shorter wingspan?
—
One picture is hard to tell from but in this one he does appear to have fairly short arms. I’d wager just seeing this one photo that his wingspan and height are similar. A wingspan an inch shorter than height is very rare and obvious, only celeb I can think of who looks to have an ape index between -1 and -2 inches is Henry Cavill. However Cavill looks normal because he’s otherwise proportionate. Most men will have something about them that’s abnormal, be it short or long arms, short or long torso, short or long neck. Id imagine you’re the first person who ever noticed Neill having short arms since he became a star, and I’m probably the second and last.

The boy who played Damien in the second Omen film, Jonathan Scott-Taylor, was actually 17 when he starred in the 1078 movie, and he played a boy who wasn’t yet 13. NO WAY will he have grown up to be around 6ft, unless he was an extremely late developer. The likeness between Sam and Jonathan was a good match though, facially.

Sam stars in such a massive variety of films! The first I saw was the third Omen offering, and I thought it was dreadful, but it’s still in my collection as of recently. Yes, I bought the box set, but it doesn’t contain the fourth one.
Perhaps the full 6ft at his peak.

Slim, I think 6ft peak and 5ft11½ today is reasonable as Rob has estimated him to be about that.... which I have to say is VERY impressive for a guy in his mid-70's....don't think I've seen anyone else maintain as much
Out of bed in his prime he may have hit the 185cm mark

The guy who played the title role in 'Damien Omen II', Jonathan Scott-Taylor, is really quite short for a boy of nearly 13, but his menacing green eyes and powerful, hypnotic demeanor more than make up for it. Damien will have shot up somewhat magically to have reached a weak 6ft, considering the size of him as a young teen.
It's a shame the young Jonathan didn't continue with his acting career. Sam Neill was ace in 'The Final Conflict', and he's been impeccable in everything I can think of since, from 'In the Mouth of Madness', 'Event Horizon' and 'Dead Calm', in which he plays a happily married man who has to cope with a psychotic intruder. And that's just three of them....
Yes, Sam is good at playing any type of role, be it nasty or nice.

Mr Neil visited my workplace in 2018.
I'm 186.5-186.7 on a good day and about 189-190 in my work boots.
We shook hands and chatted for a moment, and from our brief interaction I'd have guessed him to be around 182 in shoes.
He would have been 71 at the time, so some height loss is expected.
I think he could well have been 183 in his youth.

You have Sam Neil shorter than Laurence Fishburne on here but in Event Horizon Neil was an inch taller than Fishburne in many scenes. I think Neil's height is about right though I would say 6 foot. Fishburne I have always thought no taller than 5ft 10.5. As with most actors he rounds that up to 6ft.

Yes, I have just today seen 'Possession', and can believe 6ft for Sam. He gave a marvellous performance, which I'm sure set him up for many roles to come: 'Event Horizon' and 'In The Mouth of Madness' to name a mere two.
He looked particularly lean for this role, so he might have had to shed about 10 pounds, just to accentuate the bedlam that's going on in his life, but I have never, ever seen Sam looking even remotely plump!
Today he gets 6ft. The film hails from 1981 and there is only one box! 😉

Is this guy really any taller than Travis Van Winkle? Personally, I don't see it. Although since he's older - maybe at one time he was a fraction taller than he is now.

I thought he looked near 6'0 with Nicole Kidman in Dead Calm, but actually it's not impossible that he might have been just under.
In the pic above its difficult to estimate his height here because neither Rob and Sam are standing up straight, I would still say he's over 5'11 though, probably 5'11.5 or 5'11.25.

[Well Nimoy was I think a six footer, neill may have been close too in 90's (measuring 6 foot at about 10-11am is possible), I still would say over 5ft 11 today.]
Well maybe i've explained bad because i meant that when you met Nimoy at time he was over 70's and i remember you listed him at first at 5'11.5 or somethin so if he was a legit 6 footer at peak then he had lost a small amount since he was young and Sam Neill might be one of those person which has lost a similar amount...about Neill's height i think a peak of 182.0-182.5cm and 181.0-181,5 cm currently might be reasonable...5'11.75/182cm is perfect for him! A young Nimoy i guess was a good cm taller than a young Neill...

Editor RobYes, Nimoy had lost some height, but not a huge amount, he was still somewhere in 5ft 11 range at early 70's. Neill I don't think would have lost more than 1cm by now.

That's a 3" difference if ever I saw one..... Strong 5'11" flat nowadays for Mr. Neill, just under 6' prime. If you haven't seen 'Death in Brunswick' (1990) seek it out - It's a real hoot.!! In that movie, he did appear all of six foot...

Rob how tall he might be today at 71 years old? how many cms he might has lost since was young?
[Editor Rob: At age 70 I don't think he's lost much, how big a fraction is debatable, 1/4? 1/2?]
So he might belong to the Leonard Nimoy's club...At the end however you will confirm the 5'11.75/182cm peak height?

Good luck guessing his height, everybody! Other than measuring him personally; there's no way of nailing exactly how tall he is. As he certainly belongs in the trickiest height range (nothing under 5'11" and nothing over 6'0)

181-181.5 cm is where I feel he would typically measure today. A range, where I think Rob would typically list as 5'11.5.

He is not standing too well, so it's hard to gauge his current height from Rob's photo, but I have no doubt that he was 182-183cm in his prime. The closest whole number to his height in the metric system is probably still 182cm.

I forgot I also remember this guy from Attack Force Z with a young Mel Gibson. I wouldn't have guessed a 3" difference or close to it from the film even with Mel in flat boots and I'd have probably guessed about 5'11" for Sam just from that, but it's not a particularly good film for comparing height. I'd think the top of his head would be maybe 5'10.75" range or at least 5'10.5" if Rob is 5'8 1/8", but that's not considering Sam's 1/4" less footwear. I don't know how much height that stance drops compared to Rob's posture, though. Rob estimating Sam has only lost about 1/4" by 70 is a perfect example of how much height loss varies.

interesting he is pretty tall still. if he is 5`11 1/2 today, then i really think 6 foot was his peak. We can all agree that 182 was the shortest possbile he was at peak and tallest possible 1/8 over 6 foot.

@ viper - I remember that 'Omen III - The Final Conflict' was going round the cinemas in Spring/early Summer of 1982, when I was hanging out with Buttons, the President of the Hell's Angels England, who was very kind to me and protective. I was never a biker, but I knew a few, and got to know Buttons before I had the foggiest idea who he was! He offered to take me to see it, but I declined!
Back in the early 80's, Sam simply MUST have been 6ft!
Today, Sam gets 5ft11.75. Not much height loss at all!

Looked taller than Jorge Garcia in every scene in alcatraz. IN photo with billy zane who is 184,5 guy he looked taller. ( i dont think he is but still its hard to believe he is 2-2,5 cm shorter) IN dead calm they looked the same height. The guy is over 70 years old and still looks at worst 181. Sometimes even now could pull of 6 foot. I Think legit 6 foot peak and 5 foot 11 1/2 ore at wors 181 today.

I believe this guy is now somewhere in the 5ft 11 - 5ft 11.75 range. However, my dad once told me that he actually met Sam Neill at an event that he attended (not sure what the event was called). This was probably when Sam Neill was in his 40's. My dad was in his early to mid 20's I believe. My dad told me his maximum height was in the 184-185cm range. My dad told me that him and Sam Neill stood at exactly the same height. Granted, Sam Neill's footwear could the decider hear but I believe that you should definitely consider including a peak height of 6'0" here Rob.

Looked tall-ish in Jurassic Park (1993). No less than this listing for peak height and could very well have been 183 cm / 6'0"-6'0.25" but now given the fact that he is almost 70 y.o. he has probably lost a noticeable and decent amount of height (at least 1 in). Would say 182 cm/5'11.75" peak and 180 cm / 5'11" now.

This guy looked 6 ft at his prime, I'd say 5'11 today 180-190 lbs. Premier Props listed the costume he wore in "The Vow Bill" 2012 movie. Size 10 shoe, 34 waist pants, 16" neck: Click Here

Well rob, you wrote 1,82 as peak height and i completely agree with you.
But if you will bet money on his current (2014) height what will you choose?
I'm interested about his height and I know that soon will be presented a movie with him and Brosnan, and I'm curious to see they one next to the other...

Editor Rob last movie I watched with him was probably Daybreakers, he could look nearer 5ft 11 at times there

Rob he could 5ft 11in or 1,80mt today at 67?

Editor Rob man I feel old realising Sam's this age now...yeah he could be nearer to that mark soon.
joseff said on 7/Jun/14
rob you hit the mark! At peak he was a legit 1,82mt or 5ft 11.75in:

in 1993-1994 he was more than 4in smaller than a tall guy like Jeff Goldblum (6 f 4in)!

Is full 6 ft possible for his peak Rob? also, what did you originally have him at? I remember seeing 5ft 11.25 and 5ft 11.5.

With his looks, voice and persona often seeming somewhere between classy, reserved and tormented, Neill reminds a bit of James Mason, although Neill never got as many great films under his belt as Mason IMO.

He is a couple of cm taller than jorde garcia ( 182) in most of the photos of them together and he is 66 years old now. He must be 183 still. He never looked taller than that at peak but he doesnt look shorter now either. I think 183 peak and 182 now maybe still 183 beacuse i saw a recent photo of him and bily zane (184) and sam looked the same ore taller. But Jorge garcia cant be 182 he is probably 180 because he looks shorter in everfy photo of them together.

I suppose 183cm in his 20s-30s does seem reasonable as he still looks 182cm in his late 60s. But, he's a lot shorter than I would've initially thought. Many of those Aussie and Kiwi actors are known for being very tall. If I hadn't seen Jurassic Park, I would've guessed Neill as being 6ft3+

That could be on the ball, Jake. He doesn't look to have lost much.
Back in 1997 he looked 6ft for definite if Goldblum was 6ft4-6ft5.

I would say he's 5'10 today,because in Jurassic Park he looked like he was 6'0 in his timberland boots.He's always been 5'11 until he shrunk an inch.He's 5'10 now days.

Not today, Jake. Fellow Aussie actor Bryan Brown has about 2in on him. Unless Brown is like 6ft2 then Neill can't be taller than 5ft11. He's 65 aswell so 0.5in loss is quite possible.

I saw Sam Neill walking along the waterfront today in Vancouver and thought that he looked really tall. I am 5'10" and he is definitely taller than I am.

Neill in fact played James Bond - sort of. He played Sidney Reilly the "Ace of Spies". The character James Bond was partly based on Reilly.
Sam Neill is just about as tall as a real spy should be. Connery was much too tall and handsome. Spies are supposed to be inconspicous. In the sixties Connery made a stunning first impression. If you had been in a room with him then you would certainly have remembered him, which is all wrong for a spy. Spies should be medium sized rather gray and unremarkable looking men.

Neill would have been a good Bond. BTW only 3 bonds were English. Moore, Dalton and Craig. Connery is a Scot, Brosnan is Irish and the very first Bond was an American. Actor Barry Nelson played Bond in an American TV version of Casino Royale from 1954.

Wyatt, why do you imply Neill is not British? He was born in Northern Ireland and educated in New Zealand. But you're certainly right about George Lazenby. And I agree, Neill would have been a wonderful Bond, and is certainly taller than Daniel Craig, much closer in fact than anyone else to the original Bond height as envisioned by Ian Fleming (six feet even).

he is about 3" shorter than B.Brown.Brown cannot be over 6'1"-6'1.25",so Neill has to be shorter than 6'.I think he is 5'10.5" and Brown is strong 6'1"(1.86m).

@Billijo Maynard, I disagree. James Bond must be British (or be from the British isles). The only bond I can think of that wasn't British was George Lazenby (who was awful).

Times change, James. Cubby Brocelli died in '96 and since his daughter took over things have changed. Daniel Craig's a joke anyway.

At peak it's a possibility. But then again producers didn't choose him for James Bond because he wasn't tall enough. James what would say is the minimum height for an actor to play bond?

A website lists him at 6'(1.83 m),yet this place lists him at 5'11 so he's one of these two. He's actually above-average in height.

Connery looks to have about 2" on Sam Neill in The Hunt For Red October. I say that he is 6'.
P.S.- You know that Sam Neill was considered to play James Bond in 1987 for The Living Daylights. Back then producer Cubby Broccoli said that James Bond had to be at least 6'.

at the time movies were shot in 4:3 fullscreen this made actors look even taller.
again he looks indeed as tall as 6'2 in that movie when he probably was 6'1, the camera added 1 inch prolly to the already tall thing.
i watched a mini movie he made called THE TRIANGLE and although looking tallish i would give him more than 5'11.5 barefooted.

He does look enormous in 'Possession' (a favourite film, although not one that I'd recommend to most people,) but I think that has more to do with the height of his co-stars (Adjani is about 5'3", and the fellow playing Heinrich was probably 5'7") and possibly the camera-angle in that first shot of Neill and Adjani together (which makes the height difference look even greater than it is)
