Tony hasn’t had a comment since May, and he should have! I saw him in something fairly recently, and I could kick myself for not remembering what it was, but I do recall that he looked quite tall, so possibly even 5ft10.75.
Rob might be rather more than 5ft8 and an eighth when the picture was taken.

Editor RobIn Ultimate Force he could pass for near 5ft 11 at times, but in person I was surprised he didn't seem that tall and didn't seem much over 5ft 10...
10.5 could be a fair figure for him though.

I’m most excited to see Tony is making a guest appearance in Boardwalk Empire!
How cool is that?
He looks quite tall so I’m going with 5ft10.5.

Rob have you seen the Scottish film Calibre? Tony Curran is in it and I would really recommend he film if you haven’t watched it yet.

I mentioned before that Tony's Medium character was an actual killer. No, he's a religious obsessive, who doesn't like Patricia's Allison DuBois interfering with what is meant to happen, even if it's preventing murders.
I'm watching part 2 of this Medium episode, (Season 5, episode 12), and Tony's character has even appeared to the DuBois family's middle daughter - in ghost form. 😝 What a swine. He's also been messing with Allison's dreams. 😝
Anyway, I've decided on 5ft10.5.

The above picture lets him down on the height front. I swear I've seen him in an excerpt advertising a film showing on the Horror Channel this Saturday, and I'll have a good look at him when I see this comedy horror.
I've just seen part 1 of the Medium two-parter, Season 5, episode 12, and he does tower over Patricia Arquette, but at her 5ft1.5/2, many people do!

Urghhh! This is seriously nasty; an episode of 'Touching Evil' with Curran playing a hair-obsessed serial killer. He has a weird view of the balance of the universe, and his mutterings remind me of a part played by David Thewlis, though at least David wasn't evil. Callous, yes, but not evil, and far more intelligent.
Tony gets 5ft10.25 and a nice, rosy-pink tongue: 👅

Ooh, nasty! I'm watching Tony in part one of a double episode of Patricia Arquette's 'Medium'. Called 'The Devil Inside', Tony is playing a religious obsessive, who believes that Allison's gift is not given to her by God. He has written to her in blood-red ink and his flat is covered in desecrated photos of Allison and her family. He is also murdering random women.
He tries to hijack Allison on her way home, but she recognises his tattoo from her dream and the red ink on his fingers. You see him standing with Patricia, but although he looks tall next to her 156cm, he doesn't look the 6ft he claims, either with her on in the above photo. I think 5ft10.25 is quite enough for him!

I'm sure I noticed Tony the other night in the Clive Barker film 'The Midnight Meat Train'! He looked a solid 5ft10, or just over.
That film, coupled with 'Creep', is enough to put anyone off travelling on the Underground services!
I have decided to give Tone 5ft10.25.

This listing is fine, about 5 cm taller than Rob. Somewhere between 5'10-5'10.25. No where near 5'11 range.

Hey Rob, after you encounter or meet a celebrity at a convention, do you sometimes downgrade the height of that celeb on this site?

Editor RobYes, if I think a tweak to a listing might be closer I would adjust it.

For obvious aesthetic reasons he was cast as Vincent Van Gogh in an episode or Dr. Who - in which he performed beautifully. Kinda surprised you haven't listed that role in his credits, Rob, all things considered(and I'm *not* referring to an alleged affinity for Post-Impressionist painters). :D
He appeared to be roughly Karen Gillan's height onscreen, so this listing looks pretty fair.

I say he is 5'10.5" Defintely not 6'0 or 5'11 but I think strong 5'10 seems fitting for him.

He looks barely 5'10. And that's without considering any footwear advantage...

I don't know, Rob. He really does look barely taller than Bamber and Cumming, to me, even if he straightens up. I don't think like something like 5'10.5" is out of the question, at all.

For reference, here he is with Jamie Bamber, given 5'9', here:

And, Alan Cumming given 5'9.5":
Click Here
How he was given anything even close to 6'0" (let alone 6'2") is completely beyond me. From the pictures I just found, he's lucky if he's anything over 5'10".

Wow, this is quite a surprise. I was just about to say, too, that I'd seen sights list him anywhere from 6'0" to 6'2" or more.
