I think he could pull off 5'9.5 in land of the dead. He's certainly no less than 5'9.25.
Mugman said on 5/Jun/22
Hey rob,
Check out this video Click Here. How can Simon baker be 5ft 9 if he is taller than a 5ft 11 jimmy fallon?
Editor Rob
That was a difficult clip to tell the exact difference.
Phupa said on 26/Feb/22
Hey Rob,
Have a look at Simon Baker with Aaron Paul here in The Guardian.
Click Here
He looks no more than 5'9.
I think you should downgrade him to 5'9 flat.
Powler said on 22/Jan/22
Hey Rob,
I think you should downgrade him to 5'9.
Have a look at him next to Gil Birmingham who you have listed at 5'11.5, He seems 5'9 tops.

Hey Rob,
How tall Does Simon Seem here with Jimmy Fallon?
Click Here
I think he is 5'9 flat at the max
Editor Rob
Seemed decent 5ft 9 I thought with Jimmy

I really think 5'9 flat would be a better fit.
Chuchu said on 16/Jan/22
Hey rob,
This lockdown made me rewatch The Mentalist, and the more i see him, the more i feel he is no more than 5'9.
I seriously feel you should put him at 5'9 flat.
Click Here
Editor Rob
Still would say he has a chance of just over 5ft 9, but I can't see a full 5ft 10 for Simon.
KTS said on 30/Nov/21
Hey Rob,
I feel at his worst he could be 5'8 3/4. Or maybe say 175cm on dot.
Would you say that he is
A.175/176 range
B.176/177 range
C.174/175
Editor Rob
I wouldn't go as low as C, but A range I can believe.
Stavro said on 21/Nov/21
He’s always looked more like 5’8”, tall hair notwithstanding.
Holdon said on 22/Aug/21
Hey rob what is his morning height and evening height?
How tall does he look here?

Editor Rob
In that photo can look easy 5ft 10 range, however I'm not convinced he really is that tall...maybe out of bed though!
BT said on 15/Jan/21
175-176 range can seem a bit harsh with someone like Mendelsohn if he's a legit 5'10.5 Click Here. Overall 5'9.5 is something he's looked close to, sometimes 5'9.25 other times nearer 5'9.75.
Vexacus said on 5/Apr/20
Lol , a legitimate 5'11 considering cool shoes , not bad.
Nik J Ashton said on 1/Nov/19
It's amazing he was once described as being 6'0"!
TheBat said on 30/Jul/19
That TV Guide quote saying Simon's a legit 6'0" man makes me laugh every time. That's like the one 5'9" kid guessing me at 6'1" because he thought he was 6'0".
James G. said on 19/May/19
5’9.75,” no less

Editor Rob
See his right foot, he's clearly raising it, so he's on his tip-toes there.
Arthur! said on 31/Aug/18
Rob, does he claim 5'11?
Editor Rob
I'm not so sure, because even on the Aussie talent casting database he doesn't have his height listed. Maybe he doesn't care about height...

He has his shoe size as 9.5, Waist as 78cm (near 31 inch), Chest 103cm (40.5 inches)
Tomm said on 10/Apr/18
175cm is what I always thought he looked
Tunman said on 31/Jan/18
A legitimate 6' when he looks only average?I hope TV guide readers don't visit celebheights.I would immediately fire the person who wrote that if I was the boss of TV guide.
jjj said on 13/Nov/17
Looks 5.9.5-75 to me.
void said on 4/Nov/17
average guy in every movie
I'd say 5'8.5-5'9
BlueHead said on 28/Jul/17
LOL so I could pass as a legitimate 6 footer . I always thought he was 5'10. Great actor by the way.
Slim 181 cm said on 12/Jul/17
6 foot in his dreams! , 5'9.5 is closer to the truth. He often holds his breath to look broader shouldered and stands on his tippy toes to look taller, 😂 . Just like vin diesel.
Scott said on 22/Jun/17
Oh wow! I didn't know he was that short.
gomad said on 20/Jun/17
175cm in the mentalist
Realist said on 15/Jun/17
Never looked tall.
Arthur said on 17/May/17
Rob why did you downgrade him again? I still remember his old 5'9.75 listing... I did think back then that it was accurate.
Editor Rob
seeing his co-star amanda in person, I think her figure and his seem more reasonable.
Hans Meiser said on 9/Apr/17
legitimate 6 feet xD
AJ said on 24/Feb/17
Ya this listing is fairer, he's slightly shorter than rockmond dunbar.
yea buddy said on 15/Dec/16
he's 5'9, and spacey 5'8
jtm said on 19/Nov/16
he was the one that was taller than spacey. I think this listing is spot on and spacey was never over 5'9.
Rent said on 17/Nov/16
I would guess 5'9" tops for Simon Baker, no less no more.
MachuPicchu said on 4/Nov/16
I think Simon Baker is close to 180 cm in the morning, and 178 cm later during the day (I`m european, I would find it very hard to guess feet and inches). This picture of him and Robin Tunney says a lot about his height. It`s a full body picture for both of them, and you can clearly see their shoes and straight postures. She`s listed as 161 cm on some sites, 163 cm on others. She`s wearing really big platforms, they are more than 12 cm (14-15 cm, maybe?), so she would be at least 175 cm tall in this picture. His shoes might lift him 2 cm above the ground, but one can clearly see how big the height difference between them two still is.

Chase Witherspoon said on 23/Sep/16
Reckon 176cm, notwithstanding the bouffant..
AJ said on 21/Jun/16
I think 5'9.25" is the better listing for this guy. There is plenty of evidence to suggest so. For instance he was only a quarter inch taller than mario lopez. He's also slightly shorter than rockmond dunbar. I wouldn't go as far as 5'9" flat, but 9.5 is too generous.
Francis said on 7/Jun/16
rob, do you think he got listed as a 'legitimate 6 feet tall' because the interviewer thought that after 5.9 came 6.0? xD

jokes apart, i think he is 5'9 at the end of the day. 5'9.5 is the maximum he could be. 5'9.25 seems fair untill further conclusions
Editor Rob
9.25 or 9.5, those are both arguable for him. I don't know where the notion of a legitimate 6ft came from, the interviewer may well have thought of him as taller. Maybe Simon has the kind of personality that can add a couple of inches.
yea buddy said on 17/Feb/16
He kind of fools me sometimes

There are moments he look 5'8.5~5'9 and there are moments where he looks over 5'10 like when he stands taller than morena baccarin on heels on the Mentalist

Could that be a TV trick or is a 5'9.5 man really noticeable taller than a 5'7 woman in heels, rob? I can't tell that because I am 5'6
Editor Rob
to be fair he did look taller than her when she was in heels, so I doubt he's a 5ft 8.5-9
rtyuiop said on 11/Feb/16
Rob, what would do you think the possibility of him being 5"8.5 is like? Remember seeing him on Soccer Aid 2010 and him not being much taller on the pitch than mike myers.
Editor Rob
you can argue 5ft 9 for him, but I am not sure he really looks 174cm
zyzzbraah said on 23/Nov/15
Do you think he can be 5'9, Rob?
I'd put him between 175-177cm
Editor Rob
you could argue anywhere in 5ft 9 range for him.
MD said on 19/Oct/15
How are you going to go from just arguing he's only 5'8" then all of a sudden agreeing with the listing?
Dan said on 15/Oct/15
Very good actor, I think 5'9.5 or 5'9.25 sounds right for him.
MD said on 5/Oct/15
That's a bad picture, and tons of other pics show him clearly taller than Kang.
Dan said on 3/Oct/15
Click Here
He appears to be the same height as Tim Kang who is listed at 5' 8"...
jtm said on 30/Sep/15
crowe is closer to the camera and baker is losing more height but i doubt crowe is over 5'10.
SJH said on 26/Sep/15
Bizarre legimate 6 feet tall. He could be lucky to hit 5'9
grizz said on 15/Sep/15
"a legitimate 6 feet tall"
Precisely because of idiots like TV Guide people think that legit 6footers are short -making 5ft9 guys 6ft tall, all of a sudden.

Baker is 5ft9-5ft9.25 based on many Mentalist episodes I'd watched.
Dan said on 26/Aug/15
I think 5'9.5 is a bit generous myself. He was visibly shorter than the 5'10.5 Henry Ian Cusick on The Mentalist.
Nicholas said on 22/Jul/15
Pic with Russel Crowe shows him being at most 174cm!

Isn't 5'9.5 a bit generous?
Owen said on 29/Jun/15
Baker clearly under 5'10
5'9 should be apropriate

GP said on 27/Jun/15
The statement by TVGuide had to be estimated by G, lol!!! I have met him and he is nothing more than 5'9".

yea 5'10 right
T said on 25/Jun/15
Looks pretty solid 5'10" here Click Here
cole said on 5/May/15
@Areandir: Baker doesn't strike me as the lift wearing type. I'm sure on 'The Mentalist' he may have worn some more thick footwear at times, to appear a convincing and strong 5'10 range. He's in some pretty standard boots in that shot with Ruffalo (though they might give a little more than Ruffalo's, it's harder to tell when we can't see the heel), but he's standing further away from the camera, and they are also both standing quite poorly. Here's another shot from that set: Click Here 176-177 cm is a decent shout, wouldn't think he was much under or over that.
Gabe said on 4/May/15
@Anon
He had the 5ft10 mark on his personal website

And, Rob, do you think a flat 5'9" is possible for Simon? He looks closer to 5'9" than 5'10" in any movie/show I see him
Editor Rob
at times he can look just 5ft 9, but a fair amount I think a bit over the mark.
Anon said on 1/May/15
He says 178cm in this French interview:

Damon said on 7/Apr/15
He looks 5'8 next to ruffalo!
Areandir said on 5/Mar/15
what about the pic with Mark Ruffalo?
Areandir said on 5/Mar/15
I got curious with the Mark Ruffalo pic, and on this one: Click Here he wis wearing ENORMOUS lifts a seems to be only 2 inches taller than Mark(also, he is in a very poor posture)
Surfer said on 3/Mar/15
I think 5'9.5 would be more apropriate, Rob
I'd still go with a little fraction above 5'9, like a hair under 176cm
Editor Rob
the 9.5 mark is probably a reasonable amount to give him.
Lorne said on 25/Feb/15
I'm confused by your comment below, Rob. You say he could be 176, yet list him at 5ft9.75(legit 177cm). Explain?

For the record, he is looking closer to 5'9 at times, 176-176.5 is likely a better fit, he often looks a weak average.
Editor Rob
well he can look anywhere from as low as 5ft 9 up to 10. Actually Jenny was watching an episode yesterday and it had Morena Baccarin in it, I think in heels he still could beat her a bit, so I'm not sure he's really as low as just 5ft 9.

guess we completely discarded 5'10" and we're starting to go below 5'9"
Gabe said on 23/Feb/15
Hey Rob, check this pic: Click Here
I don't see an inch difference from a 5'11" guy and a claimed to be 5'10"
I'll go with the 176cm guess, not to talk about a spot on 175!

I'd say he is no further from 5'9. Robin Tunney must be around 160cm~162cm. He looks like a solid 175cm

itzin has a habit of raising his eyelevel

Simon is closer to the camera and has some "positional" advantage, giving the impression of being taller than what in fact is
Justanotherguy said on 7/Aug/14
Check this picture out with Liev Schrieber who is listed here at 6'2.75. Simon baker is barefoot and Liev is wearing shoes. Baker looks like he is as least 5'10 here.

somebody said on 9/May/14
I can't find it now, but I remember it was sometime in February, he said something like ''being 5'11 and having to work with a 6 ft 4 man is kind of ego shattering'', It wasn't on you.tube either, it was on AOL streaming from another site I think. I remember it because I said to myself ''yeah right'' or something
:P
somebody said on 6/May/14
He claimed his height as 5 ft 11 in a recent interview.
Editor Rob
any idea what one, it would be good to add it to the top of his page.
The Mentalist said on 10/May/13
Baker is a solid 5.9 who can look way taller on the show for 3 main reasons..1.his very slim build...2...his perfect posture...3...the waistcoat he wears under the suit
leonari said on 1/May/13
On the show he looks a solid 177 and that's what he is with rather longhish limbs. Good proportions, good height.
Gong said on 28/Apr/13
Robin Tunney is like 163 cm, Simon Baker doesn't look that much taller, I would say 174-175ish...
Lorne? said on 31/Mar/13
Lol Gary cole is on the mentalist right now. If he stands beside baker I'll examine the difference. But 177cm is spot on, he can look 5'10at times, a weak average other times
Westie said on 25/Jan/13
Interesting pic - Simon seems to be visibly raising his heels and standing on his toes trying to look as natural as possible. To be fair he is sandwiched in between 6'7 Merchand 6' Driver. Don't know how to upload pics so here's the link : (group pic half way down)

when i watch the mentalist he looks 6 feet
Mr. R said on 8/Dec/11
Simon is actually btw 5-8 and 5-9. He wears biker boots a lot when he is on talk shows.
Ras said on 7/Dec/11
Rob yeah, Currie Graham is not precisely in the top a list (perhaps not in the b list either), but he's outstanding due to his height, that's why I think he deserves a page here. He could also be a good comparison with some other more well known actors IMO.
Charles said on 6/Dec/11
175-176 cm feels better for him, not that close to 5ft 10in.

i think he is average hieght for a male, which is anywhere from 5'8 to 6 ft.
paddy said on 9/Apr/11
ive just seen a new episode of the mentalist. morena baccarin, who here is listed as tall as 170cm, is at least as tall as Patrick Jane. curious, isn't it? obviously, she wears heels. but, come on, there are scenes where you can see those and they're max 7-8 cm. and she clearly is taller than he is in the episode.

@ MichaelinDenver: I hate comments like that. Don't be stupid - 5-5 is ridiculous. Jesus christ, are you jealous or what?
MichaelinDenver said on 16/Dec/10
No way is this guy 5'10". Compare his height to a door know, standard height of 39". Compare him to the top of the cars in the show, etc. I would bet 5'5" at best.
Kayla said on 3/Jul/09
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.... some of you guys have MET him? How in the... that's incredible! You guys are fricken lucky! And he looks like her hovers around 5'9'', I'd say.... he is adorable, however tall he is!
JJ said on 3/Jul/09
In the mentalist a lot of guys tower over him but that's because they're so tall. Take Rigsby(played by Yeoman) for example, he's listed as 6 3 here but he's a legitimate 6'4 or even a 6'5. And Simon doesn't look short at all I think Simon is 5'10 as his profile says
kate said on 8/Jun/09
I just served him his coffee last week, he was in flip flops, I was in flats, I was a smidge taller, I am 5ft10". Jaoquin Phoenix is 5ft8". I have also met him, he was way shorter than I.
MD said on 11/May/09
Here he is with Australian actor Jesse Spencer given 5'10" (even), here:

Click Here

I thought it's a pretty good pic given that you can see their feet and they are in the same shoes on the same level. Jesse's pose is the only thing that could through this off, but not by enough, really, to make the photo useless. I think the 177 cm is a great estimate if not even the full 5'10" he was once listed at.
jesse said on 10/May/09
I met him at a bar this weekend. i think 5'10" is acurate.I'm 5'8" and he was definatley taller than me. really nice guy

Jorge: Your friend is clueless. Close to 5'7 " is a joke for Simon. Average guy.
Jorge said on 10/May/09
Just to put this to bed. A close friend of mine worked with Simon on the set just a few weeks ago. She says he wishes he was 5'10"! Much closer to 5'7"...and she says that was with shoes with huge heels! Sorry if that disappoints you.

Josh.J When I say everyone towers over him I mean most males in the show that are not regular cast. I dont think I have seen one episode where the male killer didnt have a few good inches over him, a few inches is enough to be condsider towering. I checked the footware Amanda was wearing and she was wearing flats and there was hardly much difference. There is a huge debate out there that alot of people dont think Simon is 5'10, such think he is aas little as 5'7 to 5'8 but I dont think he is this short. All I am saying I doubt he is a strong 178 cm. Oh and Fredrick I cant get your link to work.
Fredrick said on 27/Mar/09
Josh.J, Righetti and Tunney do not always wear heels on the show, they are often in flats. Take a look: Click Here Baker could be 5-9 or 5-10, something like that.
Josh.J said on 26/Mar/09
Anonymous, i've been wathing the show from the get-go and im can with certainty disagree with the claim that everyone "towers over him". also both robin tunney and amanda righetti wear high heels in all the episodes. i've also noticed baker's shoes which seems to have a bit of a heel.
Anonymous said on 16/Mar/09
After just watching the mentalist,it appears that everyone in the show nearly towers over him. Plus he only appears to be an inch taller than Amanda Righetti who is listed as 5'8. I would say he is 5'9 maybe 5'9.5.
