Judging by him next to Morris Chestnut and Terrence Howard who are about 5'11-6'. I'd say he's about 5'8" maybe 5'8 1/2" they towered him. Especially when Morris Chestnut was pouncing him in the Best Man lol

Love this guy so underrated plays a villain well especially for a small man.
He can look around 5 9 but usually with cowboy boots.
Can't see him at 5 6 I'd guess he would edge out little Scottish dude..macavoy.

Rob,
Is he really 5'8"? Here he is with 5'9" Jamie Foxx:

Angles and posture aside, that's still more than an inch difference.

Editor Rob it's hard to tell shooting wide angle quite close like that just how much height might be lost, half inch, an inch or more?

A few years back I served him breakfast at a hotel I worked at. I think 5'8 is probably being a bit generous. He's more like 5'7, but he's built and in impeccable shape so he appears taller. I agree with everyone else: he's a legitimately nice guy, no ego, down to earth.

I would definitely say around 5'7. I just saw Equilibrium and he is shorter compared to 5'11 Christian Bale.

I will say 5'7, because Taye Diggs never looks average height in any films or photos. He always looks to be between 5'6 to 5'8. The only average height he can pull off is 5'8. No one should ever feel the need to lie about their height, but if you are going to lie, do not go more than a inch above or below your true height. 2 inches in height is a noticeable difference in height than 1 inch, it becomes very obvious that you are being untruthful.

Nae, he's about 5'5". I was standing next to him on a line at the airport and I was about 3" taller than him. I am 5'6" and was wearing flats. I actually told him he was shorter than I thought, he said he gets that all the time. Very nice guy, by the way.

Met him in Hollywood while he was out for the All-Star game. He's short enough for you to take notice. I'd say 5'-7" at best.

He is no taller than 5'8, I would say 5'7- 5'7 1/2 tops but could be just above 5'6. I am 5'8 1/2 approximately and when I met him he was definitely an inch or two shorter than me. Around the same height as Rosario Dawson was. I would go with 5'7 on the dot.

They made a great job making him look almost as tall as Christian Bale in Equilibrium and rather average looking in other tv shows. Take a look at this pic. It shows he is closer to 5ft7 than to 5ft10. I'd give him a weak 5ft8.

Believe me, he's quite wee. 5'6" at most. I know because I went to university with him. He is indeed very handsome, and in perfect proportion, just shrunken. And I do recall him being a genuinely nice guy. I'm glad he's done so well.

Alex, I went to college at New Yoek University, and eventually found my way to LA and Hollywood. I came here as an actor-singer, but like most, never found my fame nor my fortune. I teach college now, but still spend a lot of time at Hollywood events. I LOVE the fact that Glenn gets pics though.

Glenn, thanks for your good thoughts. I hold to my eyewitness accounts, but I also cannot deny the photo evidence that you provide. However, in one movie, Liotta admits to wearing built up shoes , I think it was Narc. Is it possible that either Liotta or Stallone may have had a little heel help?

Also Glenn, most of the male celebs that I have met do tend to follow the "2 inch rule". Whatever height they give, subtract two inches. I am not sure what you mean when you refer to the Stallone/Liotta situation.

Glenn, certainly Taye COULD be 5-9, but my experience with him showed 5-7. My point is that in the same way that folks on here look at the same pics and see different things, I also believe that even those of us see these folks may expereince different things that may BOTH be true. Maybe there were lifts, maybe the sidewalk was slanted, or something else. My point is that you and I both could be right depedning on the circumstance or the particular time of day, or anything else. Simultaneously, we could both be wrong, or one of us could be wrong and the other right. I just urge for the acceptance of different perspectives.

In response to Glenn, there is no question that numerous eyewitness accounts differ. Sometimes it could be angles, sometimes shoes, sometimes lifts, and sometimes people just guestimate incorrectly.

I was on set when he was shooting an epsiode of his tv series and he was short. I would have said 5'5 or 5'6. All the guys in the shot over 5'8 were sitting in any shots with him. They always shoot him on an up angle to make him seem taller. 5'5 or 5'6 no more than that

I think 5'6" would be too short for him. He appeared at least as tall as Anthony Rapp (who is about 5'7.5"). I think 5'8" is pretty accurate.

You can't see is footwear clearly on the regis clip, but he is taller then regis... at least an inch. Probably a weak 5'8", or maybe 5'7.5".
A downgrade to 5'7.75" could be possible if we could find enough photos.

This sight is making a mistake with this guy. Watch him on the Kelly and Rippa show (Youtube is so good for this) and you will see he is not more than 5'6...maybe 5'6 1/2 to be nice. He is exactly Regis's height and we know that Regis is no taller han 5'6. Yet another celeb who boosted his height by 2 inches.

keep in mind when u say I SAW HIM at airport...or mall....or supermarket....
remember that day he had shoes on, and if he was 5'8 he'd look 5'9 or more.
lets make this clear. :) yes he is 5'8 without shoes and 5'10 with shoes.

I agree with 5’8”. In ‘Cake’ he is the same height as 5’8” Heather Graham, and in ‘New Best Friend’ he is 1 inch shorter than 5’9” Dominique Swain.
Even though he is a bit short this guy keeps himself in great shape and would be a chick magnet.

ok i have watched carefully DAY BREAK (new tv series) and he looks 5'8 on the inch!
if you look carefully he got some nice boots on, these boots give you 1 inch but keep in mind these ones got an elevator inside made of something similar to a sponge which is about 2 cm...so in DAY BREAK he is 1.78cm, take off the shoes and voila' he is exactly 1.73cm. perfect! ;)
(i know about these shoes cause i have an exact pair).
this gotta be the most exact human being on Celebheight ever, no doubt at all. excellent job to Celebheights.

I walked right next to Taye shopping at Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills, CA. I am 5'11 and the top of his head was at my shoulder. He is more like 5'6 maybe 5'7-but doubt it.

Editor Rob depends on how much lean takes away...always hard to tell, but under 5ft 8 is harder to argue...

Note: The guy in the middle of him and Nia Long is Malcolm Lee, director of 'The Best Man' and cousin of Spike. Guess he got the height in the Lee family! ;)

I stood right next to Taye at a play on Broadway and there is NO way he is taller than 5'7". I'm 5'10" and was much taller than him. He's very small.

An intresting comment from Taye (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,133879,00.html):
"I didn't think I was a short person, until after 'Stella.' But then lots of women who approached me would say 'Oh, my God, you're so short, you looked so much bigger in the movies,'" Diggs sighs.

I watched half of the movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back just to compare Taye to Angela Bassett (5'3.5'') Now I am really convinced that he isn't more than 5'7''. 5'8'' is seriously rounding up. There is a lot of full body shots and Taye looks shortish. I wouln'd have thought that he'd be this short after seeing Equilibrium...my first guess would have been 5'9.5'', but in reality he is 5'7'' like Mr.R said = )

Interesting comment about Tayes height..."I find Eva refreshing. Sure she's no Sanaa Lathan. But she's very natural to me and she has good chemistry with Taye (maybe because she's the same height)." Eva Pigford is 5'7''

Thanks for the love Lmeister and Viper. This is one height that I am positive about. Taye will be reprising his role in the movie Rent next year, so check to see if he magically grows!

BTW in The Way of the Gun he is wearing rather "interesting" looking shoes and still is shorter than Ryan Philippe...The more I see pics of him the more I believe Mr.R

I cant beleive they are listing this dude at 5-10 now!!!! He was always listed as being 5-9, which he sometimes looks in movies. But I guess he got more popular and then his height went up a majestic 5-10, which is just crazy. I beleive Mr R. on his 5-7 estimate

Thanks Lmeister. These pictures confirm what I said. If he said 5-8, then he is probably closer to 5-7. I stand by my personal encounter.

He's roughly around 5'8" I met him at the Elite Model Look pre-reception dinner in Miami Beach. He was wearing some big boots and we were eye to eye. I'm 5'8" as measured by about three different Navy Docs during my MECEP processing.

Mr. R exactly how tall is 5'11.05"? What does .05 of an inch equal to in centimetres and why is to so important to put in your height? Taye definately looks 5'8"-5'9", possibly shorter but probably not.

Taye Diggs walked right by me last year in Hollwood. I was standing on the sidewalk waiting for a friend. When I saw him, I stood straight up (5'11.05"), and when he passed me, i was stunned at how small 5'9" seemed. Even wearing a hat, he was short. I told my friend that night, that Taye was 5'7". I think this is absolutely correct.

Watch the movie "Brown Sugar" and you'll see that in certain scenes Sanaa Lathan in heels is taller than Diggs. And I also remember him saying that he was 5'8" on Leno a while back. And he looks dead on 5'8".
