6’4.25 is Goldblum height range so I personally I would give him 6’4 flat
Nile Song said on 17/May/23
Rob, I notice he has the 1/8th inch without any specific claim or measurement, maybe consider switching it to 6'4 flat or 6'4 1/4 to remain consistent with what you require in others listed with an eighth? Or are you really sure on this one? I can't really tell what he is that precisely to be honest.
Editor Rob
I hadn't decide on 6ft 4 or 4.25 peak, so had just left him on this mark.

Arch Stanton said on 4/May/23
Seagal still looked very tall I thought thought, even if there were taller guys. The guy who walked past him in Under Siege 2 at the beginning also looked about 6 ft 7. Particularly in Above the Law he looked tall as he was skinny and lanky legged.
Goldblum was skinny and lanky legged as well but had a much smaller head than Seagal

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Apr/23
Arch, I sort of know what James means. A solid 6ft4 is on point for Seagal's peak, arguably a quarter over but he doesn't really have the same looming presence as Goldblum or even Neeson. That might be to do with the fact that he's often times cast alongside dudes fairly close to his height or even taller. Therefore, he doesn't automatically look stand-out tall.
Click Here end of this scene in Above The Law for instance - the guy he knocks down with that gut punch looks about 6ft7 and the guy he walks past looks 6ft5-6 range.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Apr/23
Whitehall could still be a strong 6ft1 guy, often times passes for 6ft1½. Seagal looks like he's struggling with 6ft3 in that clip...
James B 5ft8 said on 16/Apr/23
Arch-He didn’t look as tall Jeff Goldblum in his early movies. Even David Morse in the Green Mile gave larger impression
Arch Stanton said on 14/Apr/23
I thought Seagal looked easily 6'4 in Above the Law, Hard to Kill and Marked For Death, not sure what you mean James!
James B 172cm said on 13/Apr/23
With Whitehall looks 6ft3 1/2
James B 5ft8 said on 12/Apr/23
For some reasons he didn’t always look a big 6ft4 guy in his early films. Maybe it’s because most of the cast he acted alongside were over 6feet?
Editor Rob
This is from a few years ago, but see how he shaped up with
Jack Whitehall who most agree is a 6ft 1 guy. Might have had half inch more heel though...
Arch Stanton said on 8/Apr/23
You're very generous Rampage calling them classic noir hehe! Sunset Boulevard and Double Indemnity are more my idea of classic film noir! They do have some good elements and some great characters, but I've never seen a Seagal film and thought "wow this is classic film noir". Some scenes in some of his films like the pool scene from Out for Justice are classic but even that film is hardly a masterpiece of filmmaking. Marked for Death is pretty mediocre in terms of filmmaking execution even if I would call it "classic Seagal".
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Apr/23
Arch, the early 90's stuff is classic film noir, IMO. Cheesy one-liners and dialogue aside, they really got the suspense down and some brilliant character actors always showed up and never failed to steal the show. Loved the seedy downtown vibes of Above The Law, Mark For Death and Out For Justice, especially the bar scenes...Under Siege tried to repackage him in a Die Hard sort of thing which I have reservations about (my least favorite of them) while On Deadly Ground and Fire Down Below were almost like propaganda films, trying to sell Seagal as an eco-warrior...still entertaining films though. Exit Wounds was the beginning of the end. Apparently a disastrous shoot, stuntman was killed on set and when you watch it, you can what a poor job they did trying to get Toronto to pass for Detroit! He looks shorter in it as well - his weight was really starting to rocket and he also debuted the infamous carpet rug dipped in shoe polish hairpiece that we all know and love!
Wore boots in a lot of those earlier films so no surprise he could appear 6ft5 range
James B 5ft8 said on 31/Mar/23
Arch Stanton said on 30/Mar/23
I dug out the Marked for Death DVD the other night, been a while since I saw a Seagal film. Even his best films were pretty mediocre really in terms of plot and filming, even my favourite Out for Justice. But Seagal and his ponytail and attitude is enjoyable on screen! He does look better with the tail, particularly when he runs like a girl hehe! He could look 6 ft 5 in some scenes but was wearing cowboy boots with a considerable heel.
Arch did you know he also wore cowboy boots with Scott Schwartz?

Hi, i met Steven Seagal in Moscow 2 weeks ago, during a meeting. At the end he walked out of the hall, and for 1 minute stood very near me (and i was very careful) : i'm EXACTLY 190/189 cm (190 barefoot in the morning) and we were EVEN, at 99%. I wore boots, while he wore normal shoes (it means i had 1 inch advantage). So my accurate estimate is 192 cm. for Seagal. He is over sixty now so considering a little shrinking, i'd say he was a full 193 (6'4") in his prime.
James B 172cm said on 7/Dec/22
Canson said on 2/Dec/22

Editor Rob
Looked shorter than Seagal
Canson said on 23/May/22
@Andrey: I think 6’4 flat but 6’3 7/8 at his evening height maybe. He probably walked around at 6’4 flat though. Rob probably has him listed accurately for his lunchtime and he may just be a guy who doesn’t fall below 6’4 in his prime. Today he’s 6’3 flat imho so he’s lost exactly an inch imho
Andrey200 said on 23/May/22
I can see Seagal at 192.7 peak

Seagal is honest and the same height as me, 6'3.75" and everyone shrinks after age 60. Women shrink more than men.
Canson said on 27/Apr/22
@Andrey: I doubt he was that high only because he never quite appeared as tall as Goldblum. I think he’s listed at his afternoon height
Andrey200 said on 26/Apr/22
Canson said on 20/Apr/22
I think peak height
6’4.75 out of bed, 6’4 1/8 lunchtime 6’4 flat afternoon/evening
Not sure who was taller between he and Neeson etc but he and Hoff were similar or Hoff maybe a hair taller at 6’4 1/8”
I think Neeson was 6'4.25" evening at peak and Seagal 6'4" as you said. Although, Seagal may have even been a fraction shorter.

6'4 1/8 peak as listed. Same height as Hasselhoff and Neeson imo. All three guys were a tiny bit over 6'4 to me.
James B 172cm said on 24/Feb/22
I have said this many times before but I just can't imagine seagal being the same height as a peak Jeff goldblum.
Could that be because tall actors were frequently cast in seagal movies?
Canson said on 22/Feb/22
@Rampage: ironically I watched it yesterday and you’re right. Maybe it’s his lanky build that made him look that tall. I’d def say he was a solid 6’4” guy though and likely didn’t dip under it unless it was at extreme low territory
Leesheff85 said on 22/Feb/22
Not sure you could tell the difference between someone being 6ft 4 1/8 and 6ft 4 1/2 both are extremely tall. I'll go with robs guess of 6ft 4 1/8 peak although he could have easily been a flat 6ft 4 too
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Feb/22
Not so much in Above The Low but other times he could look 6ft4½, like in Glimmer Man and Out For Justice...towers over everyone in those. At some point in the day in his prime, he would have measured it
James B 172cm said on 20/Feb/22
rob do you think 6'4 1/8 peak is the most seagal could have been?
Editor Rob
6ft 4.25 maybe...but above that I'm now less convinced of. Not under 6ft 4 anyway.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Feb/22
Canson, but then he gut punches a guy whose easily 3-4in taller than him and walks past another guy afterwards whose also taller than him. Plus in that movie, he's cast alongside several six-footers like Henry Silva, Chelcie Ross and Ronnie Cox (all 6ft2). So his height isn't that apparent
Canson said on 18/Feb/22
@Rampage: yea but If you see the scenes in above the law when he’s walking on the street (after the store incident) and when he chases after the guy, he has a pretty long frame. Id say Rob’s listing was probably right for a lunchtime peak and he was a 6’4.75” out of bed, 6’4 3/8 after an hour, 6’4.25” after 2 hours, 6’4 1/8 at lunch and 6’4 flat in the afternoon. Today I’d say he’s an inch shorter and 6’3 1/8 lunch 6’3 afternoon

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Feb/22
Yeah James, Goldblum is a guy that frame-wise could pass for much taller than 6ft4.....Seagal for some reason is always cast alongside other tall guys who are either relatively close to his height or taller! So, he doesn't stand out as much
James B 171.5 said on 5/Jan/22
goldblum always looked taller than seagal on screen
Rising174cm said on 2/Jan/22
@Canson: I'd Goldblum in the same 6'4"-6'4.25" range as Lundgren. Neither dropped below 6'4". Subtract 2 cm from Vince Vaughn's height and you probably have Goldblum's peak.
As far as Seagal, he could very well have been a full 6'4" as he often looked around that mark, but his boots are why I say he was more likely under 6'4" than over. Goldblum was probably a more solid 6'4" than Seagal, but they're both probably closer to 6'3" nowadays. I wouldn't guess Goldblum any taller than Seagal now despite both being 69.
Canson said on 1/Jan/22
@Rising: I’d say Goldblum was prob a strong 6’4” more so than solid.
Rising174cm said on 31/Dec/21
Dolph was almost certainly taller than Seagal peak and definitely not a mm shorter:
Click Here That's a full pic of Dolph and 6'8" Scott Schwartz, who claims 6'10" on the set of Bridge of Dragons(1999). Dolph has regular 1"-1.25" boots so not much different than the sneakers Schwartz is wearing. Yet Dolph looks 3.5" max shorter, if that. Scroll down and you'll see Schwartz looking at least 4" taller than Seagal on the set of Fire Down Below(1997). And Schwartz has said Seagal was wearing cowboy boots, as he can be seen wearing in the film.
Seagal did consistently look about 6'4" in his 80s and 90s films, but he also wore cowboy-type boots a lot so it's possible he was a fraction under. Dolph often looked taller than 6'4" in his 80s and 90s films, yet he did not tend to wear heeled boots like Seagal. Considering Dolph could have been as short as 6'4" flat, Seagal could have been something like 6'3.75".
Dolph and Goldblum were more legit 6'4" guys than Seagal, though Rob lists them at 6'4.25" peak. Although you could argue Liam Neeson was a more legit 6'4" since he didn't seem to wear the footwear Seagal did. Hasselhoff was arguably a more legit 6'4" since he was still 6'4" when Rob met him at 60+. Nowadays, Seagal might be slightly taller than Neeson despite being the same age, but Neeson has long had a tendency to slouch like Dolph and Goldblum.

berta said on 19/Dec/21
The most legit 6,4 guy on the site. 193,5. I dont really know if dolpg lundgrwn was taller?
Arch Stanton said on 19/Dec/21
Seagal to me just seemed like a guy who was more image conscious, always immaculately dressed, I would say the boots were more about the look, but I'm sure in films like Fire Down Below he didn't mind looking a big 6'5 in some scenes. A little over 6'4 seems fine to me, though wasn't Bill Duke noticeably taller in Glimmer Man I think it was?
Rising174cm said on 16/Dec/21
I can understand the intention, but 1/8" are so difficult to see that I can't recall if you've ever estimated that precisely even in person. 1/4" seems to be about the line where you can start to distinguish and usually then within a range of 1/4". Of course, even super precise claims need to be taken with a grain of salt (e.g., Russell Crowe.) I could sort of see it in a case like Liam Neeson where he says a "wee bit," but then he might have just added that after being pressed by Conan. Truthfully, I doubt many people even know if they're 1/8" over or under.
Given that Seagal was so clearly around the 6'4" mark, it's funny that the debate used to be over whether he was a 6'2" guy who wore lifts or whether he was 6'5"! Even with Seagal's ego and penchant for tall tales, I've never gotten the impression he was overly concerned with height. He probably just liked cowboy boots.
Rising174cm said on 13/Dec/21
It's difficult to see him much taller or shorter than 6'4" flat in the 80s and 90s. Although he was a good 4" shorter than 6'8" Scott L. Schwartz on the set of Fire Down Below and Schwartz confirmed that Seagal was wearing cowboy boots, which can be seen in the film. Schwartz had 3.5" max on a then-6'4" Dolph Lundgren in a full pic from the set of 1999's Bridge of Dragons so Schwartz was not over 6'8" despite his 6'10" claim. In fact, Seagal regularly wore cowboy boots and bigger heels in the 80s and 90s.
Imo, the 1/8" listings are superfluous and only really make sense in cases where someone makes a super precise claim, or perhaps when converting from metric.

I mean from the photo, if Rob is 5'8, I cannot envision a 7.25-difference here however, I can also see Seagal is leaning and not in a correct posture and I also know that Rob has a range of height therefore, Seagal could possibly reach 6'3 I guess but I will stick with ~6'2.75.

Editor Rob: I met Seagal at the point he was 3-4 years older than the Hoff when I'd met him...in person definitely felt Hoff looked over 6ft 3 comfortably compared to Steven.
Yeah Hoff is still looking about 6ft4 today. Stayed trim through the years. I feel Neeson may be a guy that could measure taller than we think even now and just stands shorter than what he really is. The height loss is evident with Seagal though
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Sep/21
Exit Wounds was when he really stopped caring. Just horrific what he’s done to his film career
You could argue Above The Law, Out For Justice, Hard To Kill, Under Seige, Fire Down Below, On Deadly Ground and Glimmer Man are all repetitive but they have their own unique flavours...a lot of interesting character actors have shown up as Seagals nemesis. Great location shoots aswell obviously
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Sep/21
Seagal, Neeson and Hoff were all 193cm low guys. Seagal has clearly lost the most, Neeson a bit and Hoff hardly anything
All born in 52’ as well so that pretty much levels the playing field
Goldblum I think had better odds of measuring a full 194cm than the other three

Ian C. said on 28/Jul/21
The young Steven Seagal, in Above the Law, is actually rather thin-just barely above average in musculature and not nearly as strong-looking as Clint Eastwood. In tandem with his height, he was very close to being gangly. He is also knock-kneed, and runs awkwardly. It wouldn't surprise me if his ridiculous weight gain was caused in part by an attempt to make himself heavier, and thus more believable as a movie tough guy.
For a man who was said to be adept at a physically demanding sport, he doesn't seem to have put much effort into staying fit. For a while there, he was a genuine movie star, and his movies had a certain energetic vulgarity that I enjoyed.

Arch Stanton said on 10/Jun/21
Yes his early films were very good, particularly Out for Justice, Above the Law and Under Siege, but it started going downhill by the late 90s. He never intended to be a serious classic film actor. He was very good at being a bad ass on screen in my opinion, even in the poor quality direct-to-video films. Dolph also suffered from similar limitations, he was very wooden in a lot of his films, but both undeniably rank high among the great Hollywood action stars.
Arch Stanton said on 10/Jun/21
Yeah he was really going bald at the front by about 1990 and then got hair plugs I think. The velcro black shoe polish look a bit extreme but Seagal to me is a guy who wouldn't look right bald, I think of him with that sleazy greased ponytail being natural. Some guys just don't look right bald, Prince William is one.
Seagal to me was a guy who could often look 6'4.5, but then he was shorter than Bill Duke... In Fire Down Below in those big boots he looked 6'5. Out for Justice he could look 195cm too. I always wondered why he defected to Russia, but knowing what I know now about Putin and the US and international politics and the deep state I understand better.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/May/21
Editor Rob: well he was thinning in the 80's so if he didn't have any work done or wore a wig, I'd be shocked.
I noticed in Above The Law his hair seems thicker in certain scenes than other. But fro Under Siege onwards it's obvious he got work down.

Sorry rob I know I have asked this type of question before.
It’s interesting both Jeff goldblum and seagal were long limbed but Jeff always looked a bit taller on screen. Yet at there peaks Jeff was only 1/8 inch taller which I find hard to get my head around.
Do you think goldblum could give a taller impression because he had a smaller head than seagal?

Hi Rob just of curiosity, does he wear a hair piece? Rumours says he does, or he had hair transplant. His hair looks thicker than in the 90s

@Rampage: I loved Above the Law and Under Seige. Casey Ryback and Nico Tuscany were two of his best roles imho
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Oct/20
James, I think the early stuff is good. The sleazy undertones of Above The Law and Out For Justice made for some memorable cinematic moments particularly Seagal dealing with those obnoxious barflies. They shot those in legitimately rough neighbourhoods of downtown L.A and Brooklyn. Some great character actors in there. Under Seige, On Deadly Ground, Glimmer Man and Fire Down Below are entertaining aswell. Seagal did a better than average job acting wise...but he's really phoned it in the last 18 years, probably needed money and made all these ghastly straight-to-videos that are basically the same movie. Very hard to take anything he's says seriously when see the choices he's made
James Brett 172cm said on 16/Oct/20
rob my brothers opinion of seagal is that hes a one dimensional head and is the most pathetic actor

I can see why many wouldn't rate Seagal as an actor, though some of his early films were enjoyable.
It's easy to sit back and criticise actors or films...but they've stepped up to the plate and are attempting it.

From the last time I rewatched Seagal's better films (80's and early 90's) I would say my impression was 6ft 4 up to 4.5.
Canson said on 8/Oct/20
@Editor Rob: I think 6’3” flat yes but not 6’3.5 or .25”. Peak height was 6’4” though
Editor Rob
Well if you met Seagal and
Gwendoline Christie in last couple of years, many would likely give Christie the edge.
James Brett 172cm said on 8/Oct/20
so rob in person he was no taller than 6'3 flat?
Editor Rob
about 6ft 3, I give him a strong one maybe because he might have managed to stand tall and scrape over it...
James B 172cm said on 6/Oct/20
Interesting rob that seagal was 6’2 under the height chart in your photo with him.
Was he losing 1 inch with lose posture in your photo?
Editor Rob
definitely not a 6ft 2 guy, so he could have lost some from what he seemed to be, around 6ft 3.
James B 172cm said on 6/Oct/20
Canson said on 5/Oct/20
@James Brett: I actually have him at a solid 6’4” for his peak. I only said that he if he was any less that it would’ve been 6’3 7/8” since the difference is not noticeable. But I don’t see a peak Seagal at something like 6’3.75”. Now 6’3.75 could’ve been an extreme low in his prime which is believable but normal afternoon height 6’4” flat. My opinion is he was a peak 6’4” and a solid 6’3” today
I agree it’s hard to see a peak seagal at anything over 6’4

Mickie said on 24/Sep/20
Neither
Joe Rogan nor Seagal look particularly Irish to me, Joe looks much more Italian... But the heavy majority of Americans have at least some mixture of countries of origin if you dig back far enough. I'm Irish-American myself, but I'm not 100% Irish just a majority.
As for Seagal being a 6'4" peak guy, I can easily accept him roughly that mark then, but obviously not quite that tall today.

@James B: you’re referring to Above the Law. His character was Nico Tuscany in the movie. He did look a legit 6’4” in that movie as it was released in 1988
James B 172cm said on 29/Jul/20
6ft3 range looked believable in Nico.
i certainly didnt think he looked a strong 6'4 in that particular film
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Jul/20
Under 6ft4 peak is a joke
Canson said on 24/Jul/20
He’s not as low as 6’2.5. Still a decent 6’3 flat
Dalfi said on 22/Jul/20
Peak height might be like 6'3.5 and current height might be between around 6'2.5
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jul/20
He was often in scenes with guys that were as tall and even taller than him so his height wasn’t always apparent.
But a bit over 6ft4 in the 80’s-90’s is feasibl.
Arch Stanton said on 10/Jul/20
Seagal looks to me to be in much better health since he moved to Russia, I don't think he's as fat as he was a few years back, perhaps its the exercise he's been getting training the Russians at that dojo in Moscow.
Jam Cherry said on 27/Jun/20

rob what made you give seagal 1/8 over 6'4?
Editor Rob
There may be a greater odds that Seagal in his prime could measure a little over than under 6ft 4
James B 172cm said on 4/May/20
canson- people dont always realise how tall a legit 6ft is either.
i have a friend who is that height and he stands out as tall for sure.
my friend in college who claimed to be 6ft5 stood out as tall but not massive.

I slightly disagree. 6’4” is massive. Look at a young Hasselhoff in his Knight Rider or Baywatch days when he had good posture. Look at Tom Brady as well. He’s more Solid 6’4 if we consider his afternoon height. Look at Seagal in his prime. Now if your definition of massive is 6’6” or 6’7” then yea 6’4” isn’t that level but most people don’t believe how tall 6’4” actually is when you have a 6’2 or 6’3 guy claiming it or even a 6’3.25 or 6’3.5” guy. Someone who doesn’t fall below 6’4” flat definitely stands out

Rob, he doesn't look that friendly in the photo and from other accounts that I've heard. What was it like meeting him?
Editor Rob
After this 1st session in the morning, he asked to be sat on a chair in the later afternoon session.
There are some actors who take the money and do as little as possible. Maybe for Seagal, his nature means these type of event feel awkward or unnatural, and it's a struggle?

@Berta: It’s not about lying. And if he claimed his shoes he did lie. But I think claiming shoes is standard in Hollywood for many. As for Keenan he looked 6’3” like Rob lists him as a best case. He didn’t look more with
Michael Jordan either

Keenan is minimum 6 foot 3 ( he have claimed bot 6´3 and 6´4 and i dont Think he lie. probably just over 6´4 out of bed and down to 191-191,3 in evening. Seagal looks almost 1 inch taller and looks the usuall 193,5 that he looked most of the time when he was Young. By the way im not shor Dolph Lundgren was taller than Seagal 30 years ago. bot could arguably have been this height ore dolpg even a 6 foot 4 flat.

@Rampage: I can see 6’3 flat for him as an afternoon height
Canson said on 6/Jan/20
@James Brett: he doesn’t look that low imho. Maybe 6’2 3/4-6’3 range was what I figured although he can look 6’3 at times. But even tho I can’t see that low 6’2.5 I don’t rule it out either. I rule over 6’3” out just based on how he looked with 6’4.5

He does look over 6ft4 with Keenan. He looked a very strong 6ft4 (sometimes even 6ft5) in the Above The Law/Marked For Death/Out For Justice days. Today can look barely 6ft3 due to his weight gain

Rising - 174 cm said on 7/Jan/19
@Canson: Yeah, that's it. And Starr was described as 6'3", 250 pounds back in this 1994 article so at least that figure was out there pre-internet: "You would probably recognize big Mike Starr on the street. He's 6- foot-3, about 250 pounds."
Click Here He seemed to usually be put at 6'3", but there's also 6'3.5" internet listings. Here's the scene with Starr:
Click Here Seagal looks at least an inch taller and gives a legit 6'4" impression in the scene, imo, but he wore cowboy boots, which should have added a fraction more than Starr's boots. I'd still guess around 6'4" there.

Rising - 174 cm said on 24/Dec/18
@Canson: I think I remember that. Might have been Under Siege 2, but I don;t know, I'll have to watch that again since it's been years.
Btw, here's Seagal from that episode of Friday Night Project with 5'9" Alan Carr and 5'8"(?) Justin Lee Collins:
Click Here Not the best picture, but Seagal looks 6'4" with Carr, but a weak 6'3" at best with Collins so maybe some of that is favoring left to right. Here's another with Carr in Converse:
Click Here Seagal is leaning and maybe at a slight camera disadvantage being further, but he looks like he'd be more 6'4" in footwear there unless he's dropping a lot or losing a lot. Again, not a great pic, but Carr is an admitted 5'9" and in Converse so you expect he's not even 177 cm in shoes. Here's one more:
Click Here I Think Seagal is at a camera disadvantage there because his head looks shorter than both. All things being equal, Seagal looks 5.5"-6" taller than Collins to me and a good 6" taller than Carr. If you think Seagal would normally have about the same size head than add about half an inch to that and if you think it should be bigger then add more to that, but overall, Seagal doesn't quite look 6'4" to me in these three stills. Carr also might be dropping some height with his stance. If Collins is actually more 5'9" like Carr then Seagal was more easily 6'3"+ with them.
Btw, how tall is actor Mike Starr(Big Mike from On Deadly Ground)? I remember Seagal a bit shorter in the film. Starr did guest on an episode of Law & Order Criminal Intent so that might be a good reference seeing him with Vincent D'Onofrio.
Canson said on 18/Dec/18
@Rising and Berta: he also had 6’5” on his driver’s license in one of the movies he was in. Not sure if one of the Under Seige Movies but I believe so. He was definitely Casey Ryback in one of the movies that they showed his license in
Rising - 174 cm said on 16/Dec/18
It looks like he'd be 189 cm if he stood straight in the photo, but the problem is the lense distortion on Seagal's side, which is apparently making Seagal look about an inch shorter than Rob said he was in person. Since it'd be tough to fix the distortion, I'd make a note of it on top.
@berta: I'm pretty sure the 6'5" claim was on Friday Night Project around 2007.

He's taller than 6-2 Shawne Merriman, even If he only hits 6-2 on the height chart.

He looks like the typical example of a 6'3 flat guy.Peak id give him 192cm,a weak 6'4.Definitely NOT 192cm nowadays though,he doesn't look anywhere near it with you,Rob..
Rising - 174 cm said on 8/Dec/18
Seagal definitely had a couple of inches on Caine when they're walking and talking after the press conference. Seagal did wear cowboy boots, but Caine looked to have something like
Chelsea Boots with cuban heels probably not less than 1.5" himself so at most, it was probably a fraction advantage and the difference could have been as big as 2.5". I don't know if Caine had lost height by 60 either since he was taller than John C. McGinley in that film, but fwiw, I thought 191 cm listed Max von Sydow looked a couple of inches taller than Caine himself in Victory/Escape to Victory(1981). Surprisingly, Seagal looks shorter with Big Dale than Dolph does! It just goes to show you that you can't always draw a conclusion from a photo.
184guy2 said on 23/Nov/18
@Rob
Sorry for the EU Privacy poliecies , I didn't know
Big Dale's photos aren't that good because he clearly drops a lot of height , like 3/4-1 inch with everyone and you also said that he looked the same as Brett Dalton , who looks a fraction under 6'2 .

Rob could you update his current height like 189 or 190 cms, that looks more reasonable. His peak height was between 192 and 193 and with his cowboys in most of his movies he looks between 196-197 cms.If you hade sneakers, he might wore those boots with 1.25 or 1.5 inch beside you.
Editor Rob
191cm is a possibility, 189 I can't see that.
ND.IV said on 22/Nov/18
@Pierre Considering Michael Caine's height in this movie at his early 60's was 186 or 187 cms, it's still 4 cms below Seagal's height.

I think you're so generous to their height.
you're picture with dolph lundgren also destroys any 188+ guess.

For some time I actually used another pseudonym and an email because I had a problem with using Celebheights. I still honestly believe in peak height 6'4.25" and current height 6'3.25" for Seagal. However, when I had another nickname and email for a moment, I voted for Seagal as peak height 6'3" and 3/8 inch and current height 6'3.25" but this was a mistake because I wanted to vote for peak height 6'4" and 3/8 inch. Please, Rob, remove this voice because I did not want to vote that low for peak height of Seagal and I did it accidentally.
Editor Rob
Well your vote submitted with this comment will have been added.
Canson said on 12/Nov/18
192 looks a bit low for his peak. He honestly looked a genuine 6’4” at his peak. If under 193, it’s maybe something like 6’3 7/8 but today he looks 6’3” with Rob all things considered. 6’2 is too low for him today as is anything south of 6’3 really
Canson said on 12/Nov/18
@Berta: they also showed his license or profile in one of his movies. Maybe Under Seige 2 perhaps??? It read that he was 6’5” as well
ND.IV said on 7/Nov/18
He was a 1.5 or at least 4 cms taller than Michael Caine in a movie from the earlier 90's. He was wearing boots (4 cms heels) and Caine wearing a dressing shoes (3 cms). So I think that Seagal's peak height was 192 cms and nowdays look 189 cms.

@Tree=Reread my comments=i just comment what i see;Rob guess him 6"3.5' i guess him a little bit shorter,and i guess him a little bit taller in the 1990s.Compare him to other celebrities can not be very precise to one inch imo=some good times the official height of the other celebrities seem to be a little bit rounded up imo,if my memory is good Steven in events was wearing sometimes cow boy shoes too....
tree said on 20/Oct/18
Besides he looks 6ft3.5 range with people with known height,and i tried that posture standing with a straighter body and still drop a good half inch,really 190 absolute is the lowest you could argue in that pic,and with other celebrities 6ft3-6ft3.5.
tree said on 20/Oct/18
So you say that Rob is lying?
He saw Seagal standing on his two legs normal and he says he looks minumum 6ft3,and in that pic with him he dropes posture.
Pierre said on 16/Oct/18
@Tree=Sorry i don't see him in a relaxed posture;for me he's just standing on his right side but stand straight with his body and looks relax just because his hands are in the pockets;and at worst he don't lose height here for me.You say he does not stand a little bit on tiptoe with his left foot=but his left knee seems to be a little bit higher than his right knee =which seems to me logical because his legs are straight and both are inclined in the same angle as all his body;with this parameters i don't see how his left heel can touch the floor
tree said on 15/Oct/18
Don't stand on your tiptoe,have a relaxed posture man,if u don't bealave ask the editor who saw him and swears he was over 6ft2 and dropes posture there,he was there and saw Seagal with normal posture and with that posture he looked like 6ft3-6ft3.5.

@Rising
Rob needs to fix the tilt in the pic. It can be misleading for a lot of people.
Editor Rob
There is little actual tilt, half a degree at most I thought (based on how I stood), but as I said I think the lens distorted his side a bit more...which I can't exactly 'fix' without distorting the image, something I'm not going to do.
Canson said on 14/Oct/18
@Rising: I think 189 may be low for him too but 6’3” flat looks adequate for Seagal
Pierre said on 14/Oct/18
@Tree=i have try this and on the contrary=i gain a little bit height in this posture!Which seems to me logical because your pelvis can tilt up a little bit by standing just a little bit on tiptoe with the other foot,and then your spine is standing higher.
Is Rob as straight as when he measured himself with the stadiometer?I personnally see him a little bit in relaxed posture
Rising - 174 cm said on 13/Oct/18
You would think he's about 189 cm considering his lean, but keeping in mind that Rob said the photo is tilted quite a bit against Seagal, I can believe he's about what Rob lists him or at least 191. I guess his head isn't as big as some guys his height, though.
Canson said on 3/Oct/18
@Pierre: if we account for Seagal’s lean, he would likely hit 6’3” tops. He’s for sure not 6’3.5.

@Andrea=Shawne's eyelevel is around the same as Steven's eyelevel for me.In the picture the peak of their heads is looking the same height,for me the only reasons wich can explain Steven's eyes are comfortably higher than Shawne's eyes are = Shawne is a little bit closer to the camera and the camera is low.

Pierre, I agree that his right shoulder looks slightly closer, but the top of his head (which is what really matters) certainly doesn't to me, so I really don't see any camera advantage in Shawne's favor there.
Pierre said on 26/Sep/18
@Tree=Steven is maybe not exactly very straight but i don't see Rob perfectly straight too
Dmeyer said on 25/Sep/18
Counting the wig and he looks max 6'2 flat 188cm Rob how do you explain the 3,5cm missing
Editor Rob
I think if totally straight he'd at least look 6ft 3
Pierre said on 25/Sep/18
Andrea=Imo Rob and celebrities are always around the same distance to the camera when he add height charts in the pictures(look at the position of the shoulders),and the camera is not low like the picture Steven/Shawne
tree said on 25/Sep/18
It's annoying that Seagal drops posture ,i bet if he knew this pic is going to celebheights he would been standing straight as an arrow.
Pierre said on 24/Sep/18
Andrea= by the angle/position of their respective shoulders for me Shawne's neck and so head are clearly a little bit closer to the camera and you have to take this parameter in consideration to guess who is the tallest because the camera is very low and so give clearly an advantage to Shawne's peak of head.If Shawne was the same height as Steven ,by standing closer to a low camera he would look taller than Steven and with around the same forehead his eyes would look higher than Steven's eyes.This is not the case and even Steven's eyes more distant to the camera are looking higher than Shawne's eyes closer to the camera then it consolidates me Steven is taller than Shawne by all this parameters
Canson said on 23/Sep/18
@Christian: Conan and Liam both even acknowledged Liam was the taller of the two. People who continue to say that it’s very close if camera angle were adjusted or they’re the same height are making excuses. It may not be a full inch like Conan suggested but 2cm makes sense. A peak Liam was prob a full 6’4-6’4.25 while Conan looked 6’3.25-6’3.5 peak max. At times he could look 6’3 honestly. Like you highlighted, he has thick hair and likely was measured in the morning or could be a shoe height since he inflated everyone else that comes on his show. He even once admitted he was 6’4 but I’m not and acknowledged that Tom Selleck was taller than he was when he called him 6’4/6’5. Funniest part is even after all of the comments, inflation, and guests on his show, several people still think he’s a full 6’4”.

Come on guys dont argue, this site is about estimating celebs heights and just to enjoy visiting in general, if you guys want to fight do it by email or something, let's not let this escalate.
Andrea said on 22/Sep/18
Pierre, I don't think Shawne is standing any closer to the camera than Steven there, so I doubt he has any kind of camera advantage over him. And to tell who is (or, to be more specific, looks) taller in a picture, you mustn't look at eyelevels, but at the tops of heads, which in this case means they look very similar (and certainly not as much as "one good inch" apart).
Canson said on 21/Sep/18

Andrea & Christian are really passionate about height!
Canson said on 18/Sep/18
@Andrea: I’m sorry but did you really just accuse Christian of “driving a wedge” between You and Visitor or you and Pierre? And you’re accusing him of “hoping to recruit them against you”? And you are calling him a hypocrite? Go look at Boris’s page and see how many people you used to drive a wedge in between them and me or them and Christian? You even once tried to drive a wedge between Christian and me before, so you really have no room to talk nor are you qualified when you are the pot calling the kettle black. You hang on this site threatening people like you have Christian, Dream, me, Viper, etc. “Don’t make me go and retrieve old quotes that one of us stated”. The only one who has the problem here is you. You run to Rob for every little thing. Hell you even asked Rob to ban Viper before and you continue to bring up Viper submitting multiple guesses and accuse him of voting multiple times before he goes to bed. And you really do not respect every poster because contrary to what you think, you are the first one to fly off the handle anytime someone guesses Boris Khodjoe or Shawn’s Merriman below your guess for them. You even went in on Dream because he didn’t agree with you and was simply trying to end the argument. Then you respected Viper’s opinion on Boris’s height until he changed that opinion to 6’3”. Then it was all about him being “less credible of a poster” because he uses multiple usernames. And photographic height difference is a fact? I guess if that’s the case there is no point in having a site like this and Rob would be out of business. It’s only a fact when the picture supports your narrative. But I will digress because you will run to Rob as you always do and Christian and I will receive the “Friendly warning” and not you which has been the norm since day 1 of this

In Seagal recent movies all i can say he look 6'3 let alone for the arguements pictures with Shawne Merriman or Rob.
Neelasish Sen Roy said on 18/Sep/18
But Rob in the above photo. Steven Seagal is looking 6'2" with you.He would be never 6'5".I think he would be 6'3.5" or same height as john wayne at max. Am I Right? Rob and other friends?
Editor Rob
He can look shorter than he will measure.
Pierre said on 17/Sep/18
@Andrea=
Look at another time the pic Steven Seagal/Shawne Merriman=Look at the position of their respective shoulders=Shawne Merriman is for me clearly a little bit closer to the camera.The camera is very low=Shawne clearly has to watch downward to see the camera.And the camera very low give imo an advantage to Shawne's peak of head because he's closer to the camera.Steven's eyes are higher than Shawner's eyes even if Steven is the most distant to the camera.For me Steven is logically a little bit taller than Shawne by one good inch
Pierre said on 17/Sep/18
No sorry to my eyes Steven is as straight as he can in the picture with Rob,and even gain a little bit height by tilting upward a little bit his pelvis imo,he looks in relaxed posture with his hands in the pockets but Rob has the most relaxed posture in this pic to my eyes
Neelasish Sen Roy said on 15/Sep/18
He would be under 6'3" now and 6'3.5" at peak.
Canson said on 15/Sep/18
@Rising: I concur. Even if somehow he was under the mark it was by maybe
Jason Momoa (maybe not even that low. I have Momoa 6’3.5-.75).I remember in one of his movies they showed his character’s drivers license and he had 6’5” on there. That’s likely a shoe height and he was probably 6’4 or maybe 6’3.75. I see Rampage and Viper suggested he could look 6’2” range which he actually does with Rob but likely has poor posture. In my opinion, however, he’s a solid 6’3” today as opposed to 6’3.5
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 15/Sep/18
@viper
6'2" is obviously a joke for Seagal. Like Rob said, he had a disadvantage in the pic. He's no less than 6'3".
@Andrea
Whether I bring up "glasses" in a different posts or not is irrelevant. My argument was that you were the one who first brought up the "glasses" thing in the Seagal page. I'm not being a hypocrite, because I didn't condemn you for the fact that you commented about "glasses", but rather that you were the one who started the fight with Viper by accusing him of needing a pair of glasses.
And when have I ever legitimately insulted someone over a disagreement on this site, unless if they do it first? I respect every poster here, even the ones who I mostly disagree with. Believe it or not, I even have some respect for you (although it's very little), despite the fact that I dislike you more than anyone else here. By telling Viper that he needs glasses because he thinks Seagal is taller than Shawne, essentially you're telling me, Canson, Visitor and Pierre that we need glasses as well, because by your logic, anyone who thinks that Seagal's taller than Merriman have bad eyes, so don't play the "the comment was exclusively directed at Viper" thing.
Christian 6'5 3/8 said on 14/Sep/18
@Rampage
The photo was tilted in Rob's favor though, according to Rob. He should rearrange it.
Editor Rob
Seagal has a bit of a lean himself but I think the camera enhanced it a bit more with some distortion, maybe a bit of pincushion. It could have went from a 2 degree lean to a 4 degree due to the position/camera/lens. Sometimes there is minimal distortion in photos, other times there could be some pincushion or barrel effects.
Think of this photo and the vertical side of the piano -
Click Here.
If there is distortion in the lens (which could also effect one side slightly more than the other) or somebody is closer to one edge of the frame, you could have a person who is standing quite straight in a photo appear they have a lean, much like the edge of the Piano has.
Imagine Seagal was in that photo standing vertically and on left of frame - the camera could add a 2 degree lean to the photo.
The taller you are and closer to the edges of a frame, the more pronounced it might be.
viper said on 13/Sep/18
He really looks just 6-2 with Rob. I know the top of Rob's head is at the tip of his nose which is what a 6-3 guys nose ususually is, but I see just 6 inches between the top of their heads
viper said on 13/Sep/18
Easily 6-4 peak
Andrea said on 13/Sep/18
As I said, Christian, I am sure you did say a similar thing (about the "glasses") to some posters in the past, so you certainly have no room to criticize me for saying something like that. Besides the fact that 1) I don't consider it an insult (and I certainly didn't get offended by Visitor's reply unlike I'm sure a cry-baby like you would) and 2) that comment was exclusively directed at viper, a known
troll for whom I have zero respect (so even if he got offended by that, I honestly couldn't care less).
And it's funny how you hypocritically say that you're totally fine whenever someone has a different opinion than you when it's clearly not the case if you take a look at your comments, considering that you indeed have to come out with childish insults and remarks everytime someone disagrees with you, but we've already been there... Me, on the other hand, I certainly don't need to "insult" people to win arguments, and I NEVER do that, unless they do it first.
P.S. It's funny how even when things aren't really an opinion, you always have to call them like that because you can't accept that you're wrong, yet at the same time you speak of things that really are nothing more than an opinion as facts, LMFAO.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Sep/18
He looks around 6ft2-3 range next to Rob quite honestly.
Andrea said on 11/Sep/18
What do you mean, Sandy? 😄
Scoobydoo said on 11/Sep/18
good pic! thanks Rob for sharing. Uncle Seagal seems a tall man nowadays, maybe 190 cm 191 cm is ok . And when he was young 193 is correct in my opinion too. Close 6´3 now and close 6`4 young I think so.
Rising - 174 cm said on 11/Sep/18
@Canson: I agree with you on Seagal's peak. Flat 6'4" guy, which is already very tall, but you add in his penchant for wearing a lot of black and heeled boots along with better posture than a lot of men his height and it's not surprising some think he's even taller.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 10/Sep/18
@Andrea
Explain to me how I was being a hypocrite. All I said that you were the one who first brought up the "glasses" comment, so don't get mad when the tables are turned against you. Also, I'm totally fine whenever someone has a different opinion than me. What I don't really like is when someone uses childish insults and remarks just because of a disagreement, which I see you frequently do.
Canson said on 9/Sep/18
@Khalil: rob met him in person and doesn’t have him at 6’4” so that should say a bit
viper said on 9/Sep/18
At minimum Seagal is half an inch taller than Merriman. I think it's a full inch
Canson said on 9/Sep/18
@Pierre: we also can’t see footwear. I don’t think Merriman is as low as Viper has him 6’1.5-6’2. To Viper’s credit he may not have been standing as straight or Viper May have had footwear advantage but I still don’t think Merriman would be above 6’2-6’2.5. Meaning I doubt Seagal is shorter than him or even his height. Seagal looks taller even with the tilt and seagal with Charles Barkley 6’4.5 looks 6’3” like he does with Rob
Peak Seagal may be 6’4” but no more
Khalil said on 8/Sep/18
First of all, bravo to you, dear Rob, you're my hero....since I've been waiting a long time for this photo (you next to Steven, who is one of my favourite actors and an outstanding martial artist, no matter what his stupid haters may say). Very nice picture, too bad Steven doesn't seem to be happy to meet you, lol
It's obvious our man is a big guy....just watch him next to his co-stars in the movies...claiming he's only 6ft3 is absolutely ridiculous!
His height is one of the things that makes stupid people hate him, but you know what, like it or not, Steven Seagal is a strong 6ft4 even nowdays....and he rocks!
Canson said on 7/Sep/18
@Andrea: I was actually the one who called that difference 1cm or 1/2”. Christian said it was 1/4” after we account for Seagal’s hair. The pic is inconclusive in my opinion
Pierre said on 7/Sep/18
Hi.I look at another time the pic Steven/Shawne and i see(imo) =
1)Shawne must look downward to watch the camera,then this make me think the camera is very low and you can not really see the difference of height by the peak of their heads.
2)Shawne is a little bit closer to the camera imo,not a lot,but the angle very low of the camera give him an advantage at the peak of his head on Steven's peak of head.If he was exactly the same distance to the camera than Steven,his peak would look lower than here imo.
Steven's and shawne's eyes wich are more face to face to the camera than the peak of their heads confirm me(it's just my opinion) Steven is a little bit taller than Shawne,by around one inch imo.And make me think Shawne's official height is maybe a little bit too high,because i see Steven one hair under 6"3' next to Rob.
Canson said on 6/Sep/18
@Christian: totally agreed with your post from today!
Andrea said on 6/Sep/18
Junior, to be fair, I wouldn't even say that Shawne looks taller than Steven there. They pretty much look the same. What is harder to say is whether they're standing with the same posture or not, but yeah, Shawne may well be dropping more height and actually be a bit taller than him...
As for Steven, while he certainly doesn't look much more than 6'2 here, you have to take into account the fact that, according to Rob, there's a 4 degrees tilt against him. That alone would give him back about an inch, I reckon, making him nearer 6'3. Then add a fraction for posture, and it's certainly not that hard to believe he would still measure over 6'3.
viper said on 6/Sep/18
People saying Seagal looks 6-2-6-2.5. Makes Merriman the 6-1.5-6-2 that I saw
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 6/Sep/18
@Visitor
Andrea was the one who first brought up the "glasses/eye checked" stuff, so don't beat yourself up. He can't stand it when someone sees a different perspective than him. The majority of us here see Seagal edging out Shawne even with the pic adjusted.
@Canson
1/4" isn't really noticeable, but to Andrea's credit, Seagal looked 1cm-1/2" taller if we include hair but he did have thicker hair than Shawne so some of it is due to Seagal's hair, but he still edges him out. That's why I believe the difference is 1/4".
Jtm said on 6/Sep/18
he looks at most 6'2.5 with rob.
Canson said on 6/Sep/18
@Junior: I have to agree with Viper that Seagal is taller than Merriman. It’s not by much maybe 1/2”. I will leave the door open for maybe 6’2.75 for Merriman perhaps 6’3” at his best posture. I have Seagal at 6’3 and Merriman 6’2.5 myself. With Carmelo Anthony who is a legit 6’6” In person along with Stephen Jackson who is another legit 6’6” according to measurements and appearance on tv, Merriman doesn’t look more than 6’2” range with them. Even with Marcellus Wiley who was listed 6’4” but likely not quite he’s got at least an inch on him. My guess is not as low as Vipers despite the fact I have a friend who met him and said 6’2ish as well. My guess is 6’2.5 like Christian also said. The other way to look at it is that Rudy Gay called him 6’2”. Now if that were all the evidence I had to go on, I would probably raise an eyebrow. However, all that I mentioned along with Viper having met him in person add to my belief of him being 6’2” range. We can’t just say that he looks 6’4” with Nick Hardwick which is what you see people doing here. We have to take into account how he looks in other pics as well and take into account pics. For example, Merriman next to Ladnaian Tomlinson is not as tall as Vernon Davis next to him
viper said on 6/Sep/18
Merriman is only 6-3 in shoes
Rising - 174 cm said on 4/Sep/18
I think Rob would have mentioned if Seagal went up on one foot. He actually said Seagal seems to be dropping about 2 cm. As for Seagal and Merriman, I still think he'd edge Merriman by a [wig] hair speaking figuratively, but hopefully someone finds out what kind of footwear they had.
Editor Rob
Merriman and Seagal were both in normal looking shoes, I doubt much between them really.
Rich Paul said on 4/Sep/18
Forget his height. Let’s face it. He’s a huge guy. I want to know what’s going on in the hair department!😂

If you really think that "Merriman is clearly shorter than 6-3 Seagal", viper, I think you need a pair of glasses because he really doesn't: Click Here
Andrea, i can see Merriman standing a little behind Seagal and having less advantage of hair and drop a bit height. I can believe Segal is more like 6'3 if he stand straight with Rob and Merriman probably hold a strong 6'3 1/2 if he stand tall in picture and 6'4 certianly a morning measurement.

Visitor said on 4/Sep/18
@Editor Rob and the people it concerns, I agree insults are unnecessary and understand they are likely unwanted here. I responded a bit harshly to Andrea, I apologize for that.
Rob, basically the way I see it with that Merriman photo is that it's bad to begin with, even purely from a photography viewpoint. It's hard/impossible to tell whether the camera was rotated, how much and which way, what was the distance, how high was it taken from, plus there's that lens distortion. I see what you did there trying to correct the latter - good work - but looking at the top corner (ceiling edge) ...now those lines look curved. I did a similar exercise myself recently, a group photo outdoors so there were at least some clues (outdoors, actual horizon visible for miles, camera angle reflected in a guys sunglasses, definitely rectangular banners visible in the background...) Still impossible to correct 100% and what's most difficult would be "proving" there was something odd in the first place to anyone not familiar with optics :-)
How tall is Merriman supposed to be anyway? What's the argument? To me, Seagal still looks taller in the adjusted perspective pic (which takes him down significantly).
Pierre said on 3/Sep/18
In this pic my guess is= Steven is one hair taller than Shawne Merriman,about 1.5/2 centimeters =imo the reason why this is not easy to guess by the peak of their heads is=the camera is very low imo =you can see Shawne watch the camera and his eyes must look downward to see the camera.The eyes of Steven seems to me a little bit higher than Shawne's eyes,about 2 cm by considering their postures,that's why i guess Steven a little bit taller than Shawne.The eternal question=what were their heels of shoe ?

Canson said on 3/Sep/18
@Christian: 1/2” may be too much but we wouldn’t see 1/4”. Imho 1cm but I also don’t think Seagal is more than 6’3” today. Don’t know about footwear but I have Merriman 6’2.5 like you do. 6’2” flat may be too low
Canson said on 3/Sep/18
Seagal is taller than Merriman
Andrea said on 3/Sep/18
Visitor, the red line shows Seagal's "HAIR" being a bit above Merriman's, but when it comes to measuring height, you certainly don't include it, in case you don't know (and it certainly seems so), so Steven certainly doesn't look any taller than Shawne there, considering that his wig certainly gives more height than Shawne's quite flat hair.
