I’m small, so I can wear a Lot of the great fitted stuff you find in vintage stores. It bears out my theory that smaller people are superior. We get the best vintage clothing. I’m five-foot-seven, which is not dwarfishly small. It's not as if I need a booster seat when I go to a restaurant.

He for sure wears lifts. 5ft 4.25 seems to bang on, 5ft 7 is more believable for Kunal.

Galecki overall has struck me as the taller of the two but they can look very close. I do remember Galecki being edged by Scott Caan and Kevin Connolly on 'Entourage' though, so under 5'5 is quite arguable for him. Maybe 5'4.5 for Helberg and 5'4.75 for Galecki is closer.

Galecki does edge this guy but as said in the show it could only be a 1/4 inch. I think it's more likely Mayim is a weaker 5ft 4, Helberg at 5ft 4.5 could be bang on though.

Why does he always look taller than mayim when both on flats and not by 1/4 of an inch

Editor Robsometimes 5ft 5 does look a possibility, maybe he is closer to that.

His height seems tough to guess but I'm guessing he wakes up at almost 5'5, assuming that the big bang theory starts to shoot in morning and that his and Johnny Galecki's character sport pretty much the same sneakers.

He might be actually a little less than an inch apart from Johnny Galecki, exactly 3 inches apart from Kunal Nayyar, and nearly (probably not quite) 9 inches apart from Jim Parsons.

This guy could do with a 1/4 inch upgrade, since he can look in that 5’4.5 range as much as 5’4 flat, likely he is between those two marks. Funnily enough in one episode of Big Bang I seem to remember his character saying Leonard was only a 1/4 of an inch taller than him, maybe a bit of a downplay but a full inch between the two can seem a bit much. In any case, I will stick with a 5’4.25” guess.

Editor RobYeah, I think a fraction over 5ft 4 is probably fairer

He is 5ft 4 indeed. It's cool to know that many of Big Bang Theory actors and actresses are short like 4ft 10 Melissa Rauch and some others except 6ft tall range actor Jim Parsons....

I never even round up by half an inch if someone asks. In fact I round down and don't mention the spare half inch as I always think people who mention half an inch are hung up about their height, and wouldn't want people thinking the same about me! This guy added two or three inches in the quote above. I wouldn't have the nerve.

Rob, yeah, you're right, no lifts. It's just the angle.

He looks absolutely tiny, not only height -wise, but also weight wise, I'm sure he is like 5'4 105lbs at most.

To be honest at the big bang theory he sometimes looks a little bit taller than Johnny galecki, but I guess this would be about right for him.

Editor Rob he can at times seem 5ft 4.5 range. 5ft 7 though is stretching things a little too far.

Yeah, 5'7". :) Still, it's tough for the small dudes. It's just genetics. Nothing he can do about it.

He is visibly shorter than Galecki so 162 is the maximum. He looks tiny- Galecki looks just short.

It's amazing what camera angles can do to make him appear not much shorter than 6'1 Jim Parsons. I guess with camera angles, you can make anyone look taller. I would have thought he was 5'6 to be honest. Hard to tell.

He looks like a small guy. So I would say he's 5'4 or 5'4.5 at the most.

If you've watch Big Bang Theory there was this one episode Leonard laughed at him for being short which Howard then replied "you're only quarter an inch taller than me" so since Leonard is 165 cm, Howard should be 163 cm. Idk why he'd say he'a 170 cm... No one could believe that :|

He seems more tall than kaley cuoco and johnny galecki; and almost same height than Raji:
3 options:
-He is on tiptoe
-He use high heels
-He is really more tall than their
What do you think? Are there others pictures and he doesn't seem so short also near to Amy( I think she wears high-heels)

He's 5'5 and no more. He wears lifts in Big Bang as noted in some of the episodes. Raj is around 5'7 and Leonard 5'5.75. Jim parsons around 6'1

5'7 is a blatant lie for him, he is smaller than Leonard and Penny and not much above Amy. 5'4 seems right for him.

Because that's the only thing here that really interests me. Height is really such a non-important topic to me, but there is a correlation to height, so i will discuss this too.
