It would be great to see him photographed with me and Rob! All the vowels can be found in his name!

I’d wager a weak 5’8”.

Editor RobSestero seems to think he's 6 inches taller than Tommy and in SMH there was an interesting tidbit:
"I pitched (the story) to Tommy and he said, 'yeah it sounds like a good idea but I have one request: why don't you and I be same height in movie'," Sestero says.
"I'm about six inches taller... It had nothing to do with the story but I was like, sure why not."
As a result, Wiseau had platform shoes made and wore pants to cover them.
"And then he's like, you cannot show my shoes in movie, that is one rule."
Of course, his shoes are the first thing you notice.

Saw him and Greg Sestero the other day at a Room screening and had a picture taken with them.
Tommy was definitely wearing lifts, I'm 174cm and he looked to have at least 2 inches on me while Greg had about 4 inches on me.
Greg looked like a solid 6'1, Tommy I'd guess was a strong 5'8 although it's hard to tell when they're wearing lifts.
I'd also strongly recommend watching The Room in theaters, it's a unique experience and if you're lucky you'll get to meet the legend himself!

My guess about his height?
I cannot tell you, it's confidential.

Lol, thanks for describing him correctly as "visionary". Can seem about two inches over Dave Franco and 2.5 over James Franco so this can seem a good listing.

I've met Greg Sestero in person, while he's listed as 6'1.5, he's no taller than 184cm.
Based on his pictures with Franco and Rogan I'd put him at 6'0.25. I'm 189cm and he barely reached past my eye level

@6foottom
Looks like your friend is standing a bit closer to the camera than Tommy is.

Rob, from what source did you find him to be "Polish-American"? Wiseau is very secretive about his past and not even Sestero fully knows where he's from or how he financed his project. It wasn't until recently when Wiseau was in Jimmy Kimmel Show and there he mentioned being "originally from Europe" which doesn't clarify that much.

Greg can definitely give off a 6'2 vibe. I don't see him under 6'1... unless a tiny bit.

Greg could be a strong 6ft1. Hopefully he's not insecure and isn't bothered by the 5'5.5 Dave Franco playing him... has to be one of the larger height differences I've seen with regards to an actor playing a real person of late.

Possibly this for a peak height and little under it today? He's in his 60s.

YES! Tommy is on here. I am a huge fan of The Room and just watched Disaster Artist. I so knew that he was a solid 5'8.
@Rob Will Greg Sestero be on here, Google says he is 6ft 2 and it looks possible to believe.

5'8 flat nowadays. He could've been 5'8.5 back when he filmed The Room but either way he's proof that a legit 5'8 isn't short.
I think Greg Sestero could be 6'1. He looked 1 inch shorter than 6'2 listed Greg Ellery in The Room and had at least a couple inches on James Franco.

The movie is so bad that's actually good. XD Also, this listing seems about right.
