Tallest Actors in Hollywood

For better or for worse, height is something that a lot of people care about. Humans have cared about how tall they are for as long as they’ve been able to measure height — and maybe even longer — so perhaps it shouldn’t be all that big of a surprise that, in today’s identity-focussed pop culture environment, celebrity heights are all the buzz. Search any celebrity online with the word height after it and, as long as the celebrity is at least moderately well-known, you’ll probably get an answer that is more or less accurate. This begs the question, though — if we have information on almost all of Hollywood’s stars’ heights, who are the tallest actors working in Hollywood?

  • 1. Brad Garrett – 6’ 8”
  • 2. James Cromwell – 6’ 7”
  • 3. Tyler Perry – 6’ 5”
  • 4. Joe Manganiello – 6’ 5”
  • 5. Chevy Chase – 6’ 4”

1. Brad Garrett – 6’ 8”

Brad Garrett Tallest Actors

Perhaps most famous for his years-long stint on the hit sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, 61-year-old comedian Brad Garrett is one of the tallest well-known actors in film or television, coming in at a towering six foot and eight inches tall! Garrett has had a wide-ranging entertainment career far outside the worlds of just film and television, but we’re sure that plenty of actors and directors had to account for his height during his time in front of the camera.

2. James Cromwell – 6’ 7”

According to legendary actor James Cromwell, his six-foot-seven height was enough of a problem early on in his career that plenty of directors passed on him for roles because he supposedly was too tall. While such comments may have caused certain men to abandon the profession altogether, Cromwell instead trudged ahead and now has a career in film that spans more than four decades. Some of his most popular roles include appearances in Babe, Star Trek: First Contact, and L.A. Confidential.

3. Tyler Perry – 6’ 5”

If Mr. Cromwell didn’t prove that very tall men can succeed in Hollywood, then Tyler Perry certainly has, through his own decades-long career that includes directing, acting and producing credits galore. Perry, who stands at an impressive six foot five, was at one time the highest-paid producer in the entire film industry, a list that, like this one, he still easily sits at the top of.

4. Joe Manganiello – 6’ 5”

Joe Manganiello Tall Actor

Also standing at about 77 inches tall, Joe Manganiello is one of the tallest actors in Hollywood today. The 44-year-old professional may not at first appear to be that tall, if for no other reason than that the rest of his body is also proportionally large, but look at red carpet pictures of the man (who has appeared in films like Batman V Superman and Magic Mike). You’ll see him towering over just about everyone there, including his long-time partner Sofía Vergara.

5. Chevy Chase – 6’ 4”

From his appearances on Saturday Night Live to his supporting role in Community to the many laughs in between, actor and comedian Chevy Chase has been putting smiles on audiences’ faces for decades now. However, what some fans might not know is that Chase is one of the tallest comedians around, coming in at a generous six foot four inches tall. Chase has a wide build, which helps to make him not seem all that tall on camera, but once again if you look at shots where Chase is pictured right next to his co-stars, you’ll see few faces, if any, that are at eye level with the man.
