Still looks 6-4.
Sandy Cowell said on 18/Mar/23
Isn’t Tony pleasantly polite?

How nice is that? He looked near giant status in Candyman, which I saw at the pictures. That film started my fanship of the work of Clive Barker. I remember seeing Clive being discussed on an evening show, and Stephen King was mightily impressed. You can’t get better than him for a good horror recommendation. He’s the King of the horror genre after all!

6ft5 peak and 6ft4 today.

The legendary Candyman, 6'4" like Leatherface in the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Todd might be tilting his head down a bit there?
Myers Haddonfield said on 16/Nov/21
Looks an inch different with Michael Myers Jude.

He's starting to look 6'3 1/2 now with James Jude Courtney

Rob, Since you downgraded Thomas Ian Griffith how tall do you think Rob would be now? If Thomas Ian Griffith is 6'4.5 then I think Tony Todd might measure 6'3 range. Maybe tony todd needs a downgrade to that range? Although I have no problems believing 6'5 peak. What do you think Rob?
Editor Rob
I'd need to rewatch excessive force.
Canson said on 4/Aug/21
@Matt Logan: he isn’t 6’3 today. He’s still easily near 6’4 if not right at
viper said on 31/May/21
He looks very tall in Night of the Living dead.

Easily gives off a 6-5 impression in the Final Destination movies
joec said on 29/May/21
Todd w George Romero in 1990: Click Here

looks at least 6'5.5"
Average Heighted Male said on 14/Apr/21
He never really seemed that tall to me as a kid, yet now I can see he's gigantic. After watching 'Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh' he towered Kelly Rowan, mostly likely she was in flats and Todd in lifts to appear more intimidating. She's listed here as 5'6" so he's likely 6"6" in that film.

Now at 67 he looks to have shrunk some. I guess he's under 6'5. Most likely 6'3 now. His voice is still hauntingly soothing.
Canson said on 24/Mar/21
Maybe 195 cm range peak
joec said on 11/Jan/21
@Rob

How tall do you think the actor Tom towels looks next to Todd in this scene (go to 2:17):
Click Here

This was in 1990 so Todd was likely around his peak height
Editor Rob
one face I know, but would need to watch out for him again as 6ft 2 is my initial thought
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 17/Nov/20
Tony Todd did a zombie movie few years back and look a biggish 6'4 guy. Not too sure if he is flat 6'4 and 6'5 peak. I did always thought he was 195cm peak not more.
FriedChicken said on 31/Oct/20
Certainly a solid 6'5" at peak. But currently is 6'3.75" possible? You did say he looked shorter most recently compared to the first time you seen him and that he was like barely 6 ft 4.
Editor Rob
yeah 3-4 years ago was surprised up close, so a few years on from that he could be just under 6ft 4 today.
Yas said on 6/Sep/20
Easily taller than Worf and Riker. I don't doubt 6'5.
Matt logan said on 9/Jun/20
6'3 now and 6'3¾ young Tony was not even 6'5" at all close to 6'4
joec said on 24/Apr/20
Rob, would you say peak Fred Gwynne would edge out peak Tony Todd?
Editor Rob
I would say the odds might be greater that Fred measured the taller out of the two.
OriginalAnon said on 8/Apr/20
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990, he was easily a legitimate 6'5'' guy. Let's not get things twisted. I don't think many people would have doubted that in the 80s and 90's. It may have been more of a conversation as to whether he was taller than that. He was always described as huge, due to his built, too. I can't see him being any lower than 6'5.25" during his prime.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 7/Mar/20
I don't think he was ever legit 6'5. He was always 195cm before losing 2cm now.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 28/Feb/20
Horror film gem Tony Todd is the second tallest of the Tonys on Celebheights, in just the same way that my favourite Tony, Mr Robinson, is the second smallest!

Peak height - 6ft5
Now - 6ft4.5

He’s losing a boat load of height!
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 4/Sep/19
As soon as I heard Tony's voice just now in a revamped version of 'Frankenstein', I knew it had to be him!

He towers over Xavier Samuel, the 5ft8.5 main star of the film. TT looks 6ft5 in this, no quibbling!
Nik said on 1/Aug/19
I like it that when a fan on Twitter asked how tall he was, Tony replied: "6'5 my friend"!
Hopping hopper said on 29/Jul/19
Legit height
Nik said on 5/Jun/19
He is one huge man!
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 27/Feb/19
Bo look "6'10" with that "5'10" guy. Bo is more like 6'6 max with Pete Holmes so the guy couldn't be more than 5'6. Didn't thought Tony Todd losing so much height now.
olney28 said on 5/Jan/19
I think he still might be 6'5
Dream said on 5/Jan/19
Rob, here’s a ‘weird’ comparison:


Tony Todd with Jon Bailey — Click Here

Bo Burnham with Jon Bailey — Click Here


Do you think, Tony Todd could’ve lost more height by now? I understand the lean makes Tony Todd look smaller, but it’s still a weird thing.
Editor Rob
yeah, Todd I seen again this year and really I think 6ft 4 is what he is at most now.
Nik said on 16/Sep/18
@ Sandy Cowell - I am not surprised that Tony was all three of those things in the original "Candyman", that is, huge, menacing, and infallible! Even though he is slouching Tony looks huge in the picture above with Rob, who is average height! There can't be many horror actors taller than Tony Todd, I bet he looks huge in "Wishmaster" too!

It is dreadful that there used to be (and still is, but not as much.) racial bias and prejudice, I mean it is so horrendous that people were once treat cruelly because they had fallen in love with someone of a different skin colour. I cannot believe that anyone could be heartless enough to treat people like this and if all racial bias and prejudice was removed the world would be a much better place.

Cheers Sandy, I hope you enjoy the coming week!
Sandy Cowell said on 15/Sep/18
@ Nik - Added to that, Tony's 'Candyman' is an unrested spirit who's come back from the dead to seek revenge on those who killed him by covering him in honey and having him stung to death by bees. His crime? Falling in love with a white woman. It's dreadful that there used to be such bias.

The film is based on a Clive Barker novel.
Sandy Cowell said on 14/Sep/18
@ Nik - Believe me, he does! His all-time masterpiece is the original 'Candyman', wherein he looks huge, menacing - and infallible! You can also have a good feast on his height, and those of many other horror actors, in the film 'Wishmaster'.

Cheers Nik and have a great weekend!
😊👍
Nik said on 30/Aug/18
He must look huge when he is stood at his tallest!
Sandy Cowell said on 30/Aug/18
I don't think Tony would have made such a scary Candyman at 5ft4.5! That sort of part calls for a tall actor. Tony can have 6ft4.5 and half-an-inch more for his peak.
Jrbowe42 said on 20/Jul/18
Peak and current height seem reasonable. He appeared huge in Candyman but that could be the result of boots and camera angles making him look bigger. He also seemed pretty tall in Night of the Living Dead and was about the same height as 6‘5“ Derek Mears when they answered questions together.
Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 15/May/18
Peak and current height is believable.
Yht said on 4/May/18
His eyes look like Zoom's pitch black eyes.
He is really him.
KF said on 27/Apr/18
I met him not quite a year ago, I stood right beside him and I definitely had to look up at him; I'm 6'1 for reference and he was wearing boots with somewhat thick heels. I'd wager the current 6 ft 4.3 without shoes is pretty close, definitely not under 6'4 I can promise that much.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Apr/18
I'd be very surprised if he's dipped under 6ft4
James B said on 15/Aug/17
Seeing him on an episode of muder she wrote from 1996 he really doesn't look 6ft5.
berta said on 6/May/17
Rob there with bruce boxleitner i would have thought maybe. bruce 189 and him 195,5 close to 3 inches but doesnt bruce really look like he was 1/4 over 6 foot 2 at peak even today he can look 188.
berta said on 19/Feb/17
i raelly think he was a big 6 foot 5 guy in his prime. of course could have been 2 mm under but i really didnt look shorter. i havent seen him in anything lately but i guess the guy must be around 60-65. so there is a big chanse he have lost 1 cm. i think the listing is right.
S.J.H said on 2/Feb/17
Tony todd may not even be 6'5 at peak and look at least an inch shorter than 6'5 Thomas Ian Griffith. He might just be 6'4 claiming 6'5 or else if he is 6'5 then Thomas Ian Griffith is 6'6

Click Here pause at 0:32-0:34 Thomas Ian Griffith tilt facing down look at tony todd overall look 3cm taller. The ground looks level and posture similar
Peter 179cm said on 24/Jan/17
Rob how tall do you think he would look in the pic without the lean?He doesn't look like he would be over 192-193 range...
Editor Rob
he was much nearer 6ft 5 then, compared to a couple of years ago when he really struggled to look 6ft 4 range...
Canson said on 23/Jan/17
@Ice: which is it? You claim 6'2.5 as your lowest and here you said morning? I would guess you're this out of bed or out of bed in shoes if you feel short because a 6'2.5 guy at his lowest is 6'3" or 6'3.25 out of bed
Sandy Cowell said on 23/Jan/17
Mr Todd looked enormous in the film 'Candy Man'! I would have believed 6ft6 or even 7 based on that film alone.
He looks a more realistic tall height in 'Wishmaster' and 'Night of the Living Dead'. I'll go for 6ft5 peak and 6ft4.5 for today.
He strikes me as a real gentleman! I like him!
💀💪👹😈 😨

I dnt think he is over exaggerating his height seems about right very tall guy
Giorgi said on 31/Dec/16
Rob, do you think he's taller than Tim Robbins?
Editor Rob
10 years ago Todd was 6ft 5, now he's really under that, they may well have been guys quite close in height.
josh jeffords said on 19/Nov/16
Ok I was wrong wasn't trolling just didn't use good enough movie to guess.
When he stands tall he is very tall they just don't let people stand close to him in the movies I watched.
It is pretty clear in final destination 1 he towers way above average folks.
Yas said on 18/Nov/16
I would say the opposite.

Todd with Jake the Snake Roberts. Not the best picture I realize but Jake got the edge
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Sep/16
Rob, if you think he's lost 1in why isn't he listed at 6ft4 flat?
Editor Rob
I put him at 4.5 as I was sure that was the max he would be today, but as I say I thought he could look more 6ft 4...whether it is more age-related poorer posture was harder to say.

Josh jeffords said on 3/Sep/16
Just watched 3 movies he's in he didn't even look 6 4 in any of them.
He did look quite big in candy man but they were trying to make him big.
The rock is a wash as they all were wearing big boots and most have inflated heights.
I'd say he looks 6 1 to 2 even in shoes.
Could be another supporting actor always made to look shorter..

-------------

What's next, Rob at 5ft4? Quit trolling.

charlie, he was in an episode of Andromeda and had a couple of inches on Kevin Sorbo. He used to look 6ft 5, even the time I seen him he was near it, but 2 years ago he looked shorter, I thought the guy has shrunk an inch now.
Ice said on 5/Feb/16
My morning height is 6'2.5" , and I would say every 2-3 rd man on the street is taller than me .
John said on 23/Dec/15
Reminds me of Michael Clarke Duncan a lot, both appearance and height-wise.
JasonVoorhees said on 30/May/15
Rob, he seems about an inch taller than Kane Hodder in the pics of them together, do you think it's because of Hodder's monster boots? I've met Hodder and he was probably 6'4 with his boots on, which looked a good three inches
Editor Rob
Todd has shrunk a bit, Kane really can't be over 6ft 1 today, but those boots can push him into still looking 6ft 2 range.

6'5" sounds right. He's always had that imposing height

nowadays really looks like he's shrunk a bit up close.

downgrade him joe manganiello 6´4.5
james said on 30/Oct/14
If anyone has watched the western black fox Todd stars with 6'4 Christopher reeve ..Todd was about an inch taller than reeve..so 6'5 is spot on
jasperwazup said on 23/Oct/14
if tom towles is 6'1'' range he has a large size head maybe 10-10.25'' in length and above average width. Yeah Todd was only an inch or two taller than him so he has to be near 6'2'', 6'3'' in shoes.
smaller than you said on 19/Oct/14
tom towles the guy from NOTLD and bound by honor was close to tony todd in height. Looks 6'4 to me but an inch is not big deal. give or take shoes on or off..
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Oct/14
He looks more 194-195cm today...I think he'd still edge out Salmon back to back
Editor Rob
I think he's shipped height, 7 years ago i seen him and thought this guy is near 6ft 5, then this year up close I thought he really struggled to look over 6ft 4. In fact I think Salmon up close gives a taller impression than todd this year!
Sean73 said on 28/Sep/14
Put Tony and Colon Salmon next to each other.The same height.6'4.5'.
Editor Rob
Todd's got to that age where maybe he doesn't carry himself as tall, he can look barely even 6ft 4 up close today...
Kostas said on 12/Aug/14
Good job Rob!!! Now go for Joe Manganiello at 6'4.5" too. I doubt that he is any taller than this guy.
Kostas said on 11/Aug/14
Why did you downgrade him Rob? Did you ran across him again?
Editor Rob
yes, I think he's lost a cm now
KROC said on 23/Apr/14
He doesn't look the full 6'5 too me. Maybe 195cm is better. He looked 6'4 range in Candyman
jordydecke said on 25/Dec/13
Tom Towles is listed as 6'3. I'm watching Night of the Living Dead and he looks to be about 6'1, maybe a little over that. Patricia Tallman is in several scenes with him and she's 5'9 and he appears to tower her so 6'1 or 6'1.5 for Towles. Maybe 6'2 with shoes on.
jasperwazup said on 12/Nov/13
personally 6'0.5''-6'0.75'' seems fair for Towles next to 6'5'' Todd.
Sam said on 8/Nov/13
I actually think Tom Towles is at least six feet tall. He had inches over the roughly 5'9" Michael Rooker in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. He might be 6'1" range against 6'5" Todd, can't account for as much as 5.5 inches difference.
jasperwazup said on 6/Nov/13
He looks a lot like the black guy that played in Spartacus as the soldier General. If Todd is 6'5'' then how tall is the actor Tom Towles. Todd had at least 5.5'' inches on him in George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Towles was about the same height as Vernon Wells in Fortress and he was 5'11'' peak height.
Nat said on 18/Sep/13
I met him at a Comic-Con in Dallas back in '09. I have measured myself bare-footed and I'm 6'2" even. I have a picture with him in the same pose but he's less bent over because of my height. He's a rock-solid 6'5"! One of the few actors who has no need to exaggerate his height.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 31/Jul/13
Rob, who looked taller Tony Todd or Tom Noonan?

I noticed that they're both wearing hats and leaning their heads in, obviously dropping height.
Editor Rob
they both look about 6ft 5 to me

Same height with #15 Rob?

when he stands at his tallest he looks 6ft 5

ANDREA[ITA] says on 21/Jan/12
Im not bringing him up. He looks by himself over 6'3. Lan Jiao, you are terrible. You downgrade everyone, but everyone in this site. You probably have height complex... Anyway, i trust rob (about people he met, less for those he didnt meet) so if he says he looked 6'5, that's it! Tom didnt looks much shorter on the show, but there was just a shot so i cant be sure.

Yeah he can look a quite a bit shorter in pics by himself. Probably his big frame makes him look shorter. And yes, quite a agree, a legit 6'5" is a coveted height on here and Rob often seems unwilling to give some probable strong 6'4"guys this listing so if he thinks they looked a full 196cm then they probably are very near it.
Arch Stanton said on 10/Apr/13
Yeah Cranberries, enormous hands which = a 12 inch ding dong. If you suspected any guy to have a 12 incher it would be this guy LOL!

Andrea, you are bringing up tom welling at 6'4. welling is a weak 6'3 so i can say todds is not 6'5 but at least in shoe he is around that.

he was incredible in X-files. in my top 10 of guest performances on that show
ANDREA[ITA] said on 29/Dec/11
In Smallville, he has max 1.25 inch on Tom Welling...
Cranberries said on 10/Dec/11
He is enormous, and probably has the bone structure of a lot of 6'6"++ guys... His hands are ENORMOUS, and he must weigh at least 250 lbs.

He reminds me of Michael Jordan and a lot of other basketball players... 6'5" or so, but with a wingspan of over 7 feet and hands like baseball mitts. Also broad and with a little weight is wide as a house.
antonio andolini said on 27/Oct/11
Okay,..my bad,..I saw him again at my restaurant & even spoke to him tonight & that's my bad,..he isn't 6'7",..nor 6'6".
If I find myself in the position of being able to ask him,..& it doesn't seem too rude,...I'll ask him his height.
LAN Jiao said on 24/Oct/11
yah yah hes 6'8 as well.. camera trick are blind to all people on todd in candyman.. lol.. he only look 6'3-6'4 in 1990 night of living dead and look right 6'5 in candyman. in real i don know. for i see picture here he look 194-195 straight up. if his 6'6 then 187ish Nicholas D'agosto happily grew up 6'3.. awesome..
antonio andolini said on 23/Oct/11
I saw him today at my restaurant & he was enormous!!!(!!!)
He's at least 6'5" if not 6'6",..I wouldn't even put 6'7" past him.
LAN Jiao said on 20/Oct/11
just a joke: what happen if d'agosto really was what he listed 6'0?
hollywood might jump a huge lol downgrading. actors who link with d'agosto and his co star would be like david koechner 6'0.5 , tony todds 6'3 , eric christian olsen 5'10.5 , jack coleman 6'0.5 , chris evan 5'8.5 , zachary quinto 5'11 , kristen bell 4'11.5 and more to come..
LAN Jiao said on 19/Oct/11
I was pretty suprise d'agosto came out from screen to be legit 6'1.5, 6'2 could be closer.
Chameleon said on 17/Oct/11
Yeah Todd is 195/196, so if that makes D'agosto 187ish, so be it. Im just suprised as in most cases heights are upgraded and not downgraded lol. Todd is 195cmish for sure so Dagosto could be 6'2.
LAN Jiao said on 17/Oct/11
but chameleon, if D'agosto just 6'0 i don see 6'4 on tony todd , he did't over 3inch below on todd. let alone 6'5. todd 195cm i might agree. D'agosto look at least 187cm so 6'2 possible. watch FD-5 his frame is bigger than jim carrey, morgan freeman, kevin costner and many 6'0 over actors. 6'0 maybe came from modeling agency gives or sort.. not sure.
Chameleon said on 12/Oct/11
If D'agosto is 6'2, why is he listed 6' all the time?! o.O

And Tony is either 195 or 196cm. Looks it in Candymand and Wishmaster, big guy.
LAN Jiao said on 29/Sep/11
i agree with 6'2 for D'Agosto along my wife when we watch Final-D5. but 6'3 was too much. just 6'2.25 , i watch the scene D'Agosto talking to Todd on the road ground todd had slight advanatage while standing on higher ground and look 3inch on Agosto. i believe tony todd could be 6'4.5 but certainly not a strong 6'5. 195cm maybe.?
Tyler said on 24/Sep/11
@LAN Jiao D'Agosto is like 6'2-6'3".
LAN Jiao said on 15/Sep/11
tony todd look no more than 3inch taller than 6" listed nicholas d agosto in final destination 5 , i won say todd is 6ft3. he look 6ft4 to me. in big boots maybe 6ft6. agosto probably 6ft1.. so watch the show bummer.. i overheard world war 3 pointed to vanish candyman.. lol

Thanks for that Hansen and tell "someone" I said hello. He is always the best person to go to for information in a crunch. I overheard someone say he helped us win World War 3.

Cranberries (17m, 193.75-191.25) said on 22/Jun/11
He looks enormous when standing next to other people, but for some reason when standing by himself he looks skinny and lengthy. Intimidating dude in real life though. 99% of people couldn't take him in a fight :P.
Mathew said on 2/Jun/11
He looks taller next to Mamun. With Rob his slouch makes him too hard to gauge.
Chameleon said on 26/Mar/11
Yeah this guy is 1.96 and a great actor.
Hugh 190cm said on 7/Jun/09
hmmmmm. Maybe a little less than 6ft5 now.

6ft5.25 peak and 6ft4.75 now?
aram x said on 25/May/09
yeah that's because of picture angles and possibly even foot wear (but probably more of the former). Basically, depending on the photo, an individual may look taller or shorter.
J.J. said on 25/May/09
I agree he looks 6'5.5"
Big King said on 23/May/09
Beside Mamun, Todd looks 6'4"-6'5" but beside Rob he looks at least 6'6" tall.

According to TV.com, Tony Todd has said he is so tall some actors refuse to work with him because he will make them look short, so he has lost some jobs that way.
Midget said on 2/Jan/09
I agree big King, looks a solid 6'6" to me in every movie I have seen him in. He scared the snapper out me as a teenager in Candyman.
Ben said on 1/Jan/09
This guy looks 6'5-6'6 for sure. He is huge! LOOKS LIKE A BBALL PLAYER!
Big King said on 25/Dec/08
Well, Todd looks more 6'6".
Hugh said on 9/Dec/08
Definately every bit of 6ft5. Could possibly be a bit more in the morning. Or even on a good day.
spence said on 6/Dec/08
6ft5 sounds right.. sorry if i offended mamun.. mamun looks to be standing firmly straight beside this 6ft5 guy who slouch a little on above pics.. Which makes him look a head(25cm)tower mamun if he stand as straight as him. im guessing mamun is 5ft7 not 5ft8..
mofo said on 20/Nov/08
Thanks for the info Mamun. It's sad she has become big headed.
Mamun said on 18/Nov/08
I think her beauty and fame got to her head ! So she thinks it's time to
ignore the fans who made her famous in the first place !

Mamun why was charlize theron not nice when you meet her?
Gary said on 9/Nov/08
Im 6-3 with shoes on and 5-8 comes to my lips. If he stood up tall I think he's around 6.3 to 6.4
Mamun said on 12/Aug/08
Yes Alex2 , that picture is with my good friend ROB !

Yes, he's around 6'5"
Alex2 said on 12/Aug/08
Cool Mamun, can we see the pic? Thanks for the info, I hear Sid is a real nice guy.
Mamun said on 12/Aug/08
Not only he wasn't nice , you could also tell by the picture I have with
him that he refused to pose with me and other fans who were there at that
time . Where as Syco Sid who was the WWF champion at that time was the total
opposit ! He didn't refuse anyone who wanted to take a photo with him even
though it was mentioned not to take any pictures or stop the wrestlers when
they were going for match for autographs . The ROCK was very nice too . But
at that he wasn't that famous .

Mamun
Alex2 said on 11/Aug/08
Wow Mamun youve met Undertaker? He wasnt nice? I find that hard to believe.
Donatello said on 11/Aug/08
Don't get me wrong I'm not questioning Robs ability to judge heights its just when I stand next to my friend in the mirror who is about 6'2" I'm only a little bit taller then his shoulder and I'm a strong 5'6". Rob is about 2 inches taller then me and this guy is supposably 3 inches taller then my friend something just doesn't seem right. I guess pictures can be pretty decieving. My other friend who is about 6'5" 1/2 is about a full head taller then me. I think I might just come up to his shoulder level. I guess if his shoulder wasn't slanted down it would nearly be as tall as rob but its hard to tell. I know this guy definately isn't 6'6" though, I would say 6'4" morning height.

John Jay said on 20/May/08
Candy man is a monster, I have never imagined him being this large, looks very close to 6'5 with shoes.
TNTinCA said on 19/May/08
I always liked him as an actor. For such a big guy that you would normally relegate to roles that call for a brute, he actually has tremendous range. Was always impressed with his acting ability.
Charliemoto said on 19/May/08
that's not a bad posture, tall people tend to walk with their head bent down or hunched back sometimes it's natural, average people walk straight because they need the height advantage.

he's relaxed in the 1st image.
Realme2008 said on 18/May/08
Wow, his posture is terrible in the first picture! Who stands like that in picture? If people of normal height did that we would be like really short.
Charliemoto said on 18/May/08
i'm still of the idea that Todd is 6'4 or around 194cm he's tall no doubt, its just that probably the image with Rob was taken during the morning or afternoon so he was still 1 or 2cm above his average height.

in the movie THE MAN FROM EARTH he looked 6'5 in shoes.
Yaspaa said on 21/Mar/08
Actually Kevino your probably in a lower percentile than 0.2 which is 1 in 500.
Yaspaa said on 21/Mar/08
Kevino,men over 6'4 are in the 0.5 percentile,so 6'7 is going to even less,maybe 0.2.
kevino said on 17/Mar/08
guys, i'm 6 foot 7, what are my percentiles, usually when i'm in a supermarket, im the tallest person there, no competition, i'd say in a full crowded mall in 2 hours walking up and down i'll see 2 people taller than me
Yaspaa said on 17/Feb/08

The second picture shows Tony with (6'3) Kevin Sorbo. It's not a great pic and at first they seem to be the same height but,even though Tony is further back his shoulders are still noticeably higher,this guy is 6'5.
Mamun said on 16/Feb/08
He can't be 6'6" my friends ! Because if you compare the pics of him with
my 6'6" cousin's , he will appear considerably shorter .

Lastak said on 11/Feb/08
lol! 6'5" is not the case. He easily looks 6'6".
Ancient Aztec guy said on 10/Feb/08
He may even be 6'6".
Charliemoto said on 10/Feb/08
i love Tony Todd his presence in movies is uncompared got lot of charisma like Candyman and even the small part in HATCHET was still amazing.

he looks quite tall i recon in both pictures he's no more than 6'3.5 to 6'4 max

but one thing i can say he surely was 6'5 in his prime no doubt, the guy isn't young anymore and lost at least a couple of cm, this is something that shows more clearer on very tall people than shorter people.

ALPacino going from 5'6 to 5'5 isn't really noticeble most of the time, but a 6'5 going to 6'4 is easier to spot. IMO
Yaspaa said on 1/Feb/08
Thanks dude
Yaspaa said on 1/Feb/08
Hi Rob,I noticed the R and M lettering next to Tony's name,does this mean that you have met him and that the height given is real,thanks.

Rob and Mamun and Glenn, R, M, G.
Yaspaa said on 12/Jan/08
If you look at the picture of Rob and 6'3 Kevin Sorbo and compare it to the picture of Rob and Tony above,Tony is easily taller than 6'3. I've seen Tony in too many shows looming over other tall actors to doubt his 6'5ness
Menster said on 11/Jan/08
He looks 6'6" to me.
Viper said on 11/Jan/08
Its a bad pic to judge from with Rob. Id have to say he would look 6-5 with good posture there.
Alex2 said on 11/Jan/08
I must say he doesnt look 6'5 with Rob comparing him to 6'3 guys on this website he looks barley taller than them, maybe 6'4
Alex2 said on 10/Jan/08
There is a person in my school who is just huge! He has a very skinny frame hence making him look smaller, id say hes legitimatley between 6'4-6'6 though.
Yaspaa said on 20/Dec/07
This guy was easily taller than Kevin Sorbo in the episode Gladiator from the Hercules series.
Yaspaa said on 20/Dec/07
In Star Trek TNG Tony stands toe to toe with Michael Dorn and seems to have a comfortable 2" on him. 6' 5 easily, 6' 6 maybe
D-Lurker said on 12/Oct/07
This actor is cool, still in good nic physically, which is good to see..

..I am of average height..heighest recorded being 1.84m, And i once walked in to the music store where i was the absolute shortest of the bunch..The next shortest was the guy behind the desk, and he was at least 6'4" everyone else was taller, up to about 6'9"..I must have met the local basket ball team :?..These were the tallest people i have ever seen..don't recall ever seeing 6'10" or above, very rare.
Franco said on 12/Oct/07
i love this guy, he is a great actor, i have all 3 candyman movies :D

looks no less than 195cm there so 196cm or 197cm is actually right.

Editor Rob
I added mamun's pic aswell, he has lesser of a lean.
Jason said on 6/Oct/07
What is it? Say ''candy man'' in the mirror three times? :)
mofo said on 4/Oct/07
Rob are you sure he's not 6'6 cause hes bending his neck an awful lot and judging by his shoulders look's a good 6'6.
Looks like a basket ball player! He should sign up for the f*cking L.A Lackers!
Alex said on 4/Oct/07
The Man, for me it gets tougher to estimate height when they start getting to 6'7 and up even for me at 6'0 1/4. But the tallest I've seen was 6'10 which was a few different guys that height.
Cairo86 said on 4/Oct/07
Not such a good photo for comparason. We are to guess how much he bends. This means since he stands at 6ft. 1 in the photo, we can thus give 1 inch for the tilting and probably 2 inches for the leaning. Conclusions? 6ft4.

Editor Rob
yeah...but I'll add another picture soon here, from mamun actually, which has todd maybe standing a bit better than he is with me. The better photo showing height should take precedence first.
TheMan said on 4/Oct/07
yeah i used to know a guy either 6,9 or 6,10 but the tallest was a guy i saw actually over 7 foot maybe 7,3 he was huge.
Alex said on 9/Jun/07
I use to see this kid who was def 6'9-6'10 and went to a school that was up from my street so a few days out of the week I'd see him sometimes. One time at the train station I saw a guy who I swear was 6'9-6'10 too and he just towered over the entire crowd amazingly. I never seen anyone over 6'10 that I've estimated yet.
Alex said on 7/Jun/07
I'll normally see one 6'4 or taller guy in crowded department store or supermarket. At the mall I may see more than one guy that height or taller.
Viper said on 7/Jun/07
The only time where I see a decent number of guys taller than me are at sporting events, especially ones at big stadiums.
Viper said on 7/Jun/07
I usually feel the tallest in a supermarket, or even the mall a lot of the time.
ryan said on 7/Jun/07
alot of people tell me im tall. im like 6'2 1/2 and i work in a supermarket and i see plenty of people taller than me, thus making me feel short. i would think about 7-10% of people are taller than me.
Alex said on 4/Jun/07
In a supermarket one time I was the tallest which was odd. LOL
But most of the time in a supermarket I'll see a few guys 6'2-6'3. That goes for department stores, toy stores, cloths store, etc. Here and there I'll see a guy 6'4-6'5 but 6'6 plus its pretty rare.
One time I was looking at magazines in the supermarker and I look to my left and see a very tall guy who I estimated had to be like 6'10.
Jason said on 1/Jun/07
I commonly see 6'4'' guys (I'm in places where there's loads of people a lot), but that's the tallest you'll see usually. Rarely do I see 6'5''.
Alex said on 31/May/07
This site has some good stuff on it about percentiles.

Click Here
Alex said on 31/May/07
ER, only way if you're 6'10-7'0 and see someone taller than you its going to be in the NBA on the court. Very very rare will you be that height and see someone taller than you walking down a street.
Alex said on 31/May/07
Someone said 6'3.5 is referred to as 95% so 6'2 would be something like 93%?

Lilo you said you were 6'5?
One time I was with my 6'5 friend in a store and there were 2 kids there, 6'7 and 6'8 a piece so it was weird seeing him shorter than someone because almost all the time he's taller than someone he walks by.
Alex said on 31/May/07
Yea its because 95% does seem a whole lot but looking at it like that then 99% for 6'5 sounds right. What would 7'0 be then like 99.8% probably.

I don't see 6'5 guys everyday, at a point for months almost everyday I did since I have a friend who is 6'5 but I do see guys 6'2 almost everyday though.
ER. said on 31/May/07
When you're 6-10 too 7-0 you're taller than like 99,9999999999 % of all people.
It must be insane to be 6-10 and see someone taller than you in the flesh.
lillo thomas said on 30/May/07
viper this is true .is very rare to me to encounter guys taller than me.
days , weeks even months passed with out seeing guys bigger than 6-5.in the course of a year i can count with only one hand without using most of the fingers guys that i see taller than me. This encounters are so rare that are memorable to me , i remember in what places this encounters happen.
Jason said on 30/May/07
Alex, if 6'5'' were only taller than 96-97% of men, that would mean on average, 3 to 4 men in every 100 you see would be 6'5'' or taller. That would mean if, for example, you went down town for a little while and saw - say just 3000 guys - 100 of them would be 6'5'' or taller. Obviously, a scenario like that is millions of light years from being accurate.

Being taller than 95% of guys does sound like an awful lot, but when you look at the maths of it, it's not near as much as it sounds. So, you can see how a height like 6'5'' would easily be in the 99th percentile. 99.something would indeed be the actual figure.
Viper said on 30/May/07
lillo, I have to think you could go days or even weeks without seeing anybody taller than you.
Viper said on 30/May/07
Think of how many 6-5 guys you even see. Then think of how many guys that are over 6-5 that you see. Its very rare. 99 percent for 6-5 is right.
lillo thomas said on 30/May/07
i think that 6-5 is taller than 98 -99 percent of population based in people i encounter everyday.
Alex said on 30/May/07
Weird because I wouldn't think 6'5 would be taller than 99%, I thought more like 96-97% and 6'10 and up would be 99% or more. Also 6'0 is given 80% but yet 6'1 given 90%. Thats a big range in between really.
ER. said on 30/May/07
Agree with Jason, you're deffinitly taller than more than 95 % if you're 6-5. More like 98-99 % like Jason stated. I've heard 6-2 and over is taller than 95-96 %. At a shade over 6-2 this seems correct in my experience as well.
Viper said on 30/May/07
6-5 seems like you would be taller than 99 percent of the population.
Jason said on 30/May/07
Look at this way: the 95th percentile for men is most commonly given as 6'2''. 6'1'' the 90th ... so, 6'5'' would be 99.something. Throw women and kids into the equation and you'd be taller than 99.999% or something like that. It's very accurate in my experience; I'm 6'3 1/2'' and I'm taller than 98% of men (without even including women) where ever I go, no problem at all...
Drew said on 30/May/07
Alex says on 29/May/07
At 6'5 you're going to be taller than 95% of the people you come across.

-----
Wrong. You're gonna be taller than 99.9%...
Alex said on 29/May/07
Thats amazing then. I'd like to know what 7'0 is then. 99.5% probably? LOL
The Horse of FUNK said on 29/May/07
I think the 95% percentile is at 6'3.5".
Alex said on 29/May/07
At 6'5 you're going to be taller than 95% of the people you come across.
TheJerk said on 14/Apr/07
I think it fair to say that Tony would tower MOST people, certainly me.
Derek said on 4/Apr/07
If Tony stands straight, he'll have a head on Rob, thus making him 6'5".
patrick said on 4/Apr/07
TO AAA (31/mars/07): That is exactly what i say in other actors pages: "they" do no want big and very tall actors anymore and manage to make them appear always smaller than they really are; It works since i never had been aware of how tall he was before i saw all of that here!
Even in smallville , they hide his height, visibly 6'5.
Alex said on 2/Apr/07
He looks 6'4 at least with Rob but he's leaning so I could see this guy at a legit 6'5. Looked it in Candyman.
glenn said on 2/Apr/07
true rob,lifts are better in boots for sure.heels and ankles protected.
glenn said on 1/Apr/07
those shoes look pretty tacky.not all dress shoes with lifts look likes that though,am i correct?

Editor Rob
if you wanted to make sure you didn't fall out, you need to keep the leather part bigger than normal shoe. But I think those who go for lifts would be just using like a 1/2 inch in a normalish looking shoe. Try to fit 1 inch and your heel might slip out easier in a dress shoe.
Ed said on 1/Apr/07
Rob, was Tony Todd bigger in person than Andrew Bryniarski? He looks massive next to you!

Editor Rob
too hard to say nearing 6ft 5 who would look taller, up close I saw todd chatting with other people aswell and gave big impression when erect at his max
AAAA said on 1/Apr/07
WOW...that is awful...they don't look likeral shoes.
Viper said on 1/Apr/07
He looked 6-5 in one of the final destination movies. He could be like this generations Vincent Price I would say. His voice and charisma is just great.
anonymous said on 31/Mar/07
are those lifts i see in the background?!
Anthony said on 31/Mar/07
This guy's huge. Easily 6'5 if not more.
Viper said on 31/Mar/07
Rob, does his voice sound as cool in person as it does in the movies hes in?

Editor Rob
cool voice yep, a little bit softer i thought, he was talking a bit about how he loved westerns and his favorite work was working with christopher reeve, the blak fox movie.
AAAA said on 31/Mar/07
I had no idea he was this big.... I thought he was like 6'. HOW THE HELL DO THE SHOOT HIM TO LOOK SO NOMAL SIZED?????? HE IS HUGE
dmeyer said on 3/Jan/07
looked taller than 6'5 in person so of course no shorter than 6'5
Franco said on 3/Jan/07
wow i have all the Candyman movies trilogy in DVD, and never knew Tony Todd was 1.96cm, he is 3 cm taller than me.

i have watched Masters Of Horror season 2 episode 8 and looked 6'5 on the inch (actually taller in the episode) that's why i say 6'5 on the inch without the extras. ;) maybe 6'5.5 too.
Alex said on 19/Nov/06
He was taller than Marc Singer in Beastmaster 3 : Eye of Braxus. Tony is 6'4.5" at LEAST.
john said on 30/Oct/06
Tony Todd was in A Smallville episode and barely looked taller than Tom Welling. He looked to have an inch on Tom, so 6'4 seems reasonable.
Glenn said on 6/Oct/06
We werent paying attention I guess,Viper.
Viper652 said on 6/Oct/06
A lot of us think Kane is in the 6-1 range because of his massive boots with lifts.
Viper652 said on 6/Oct/06
I agree Glenn, I thought he was 6-2 or something from watching him in the Night of the Living Dead 1990 remake.
Glenn said on 4/Oct/06
Had no idea.thought he was 6-3.
Viper652 said on 3/Oct/06
Hes never been taller than 6-5. Actually I didnt even realize he was this tall till I saw his internet listing.
kenochize said on 3/Oct/06
he looks huge in Candyman like 6ft6.. nowadays i think his nearly a inches lower..6ft5 sounds right.
