He completely edged out both Russell Crowe and Kevin Spacey in LA Confidential I'd give him a possible 5"10.5 candidate unless he wears thick footwear that I'd be unaware of.

He’s a terrific actor. Memento and The Proposition are his two best performances, IMO. How he hasn’t at least been nominated for an Oscar is baffling

A big compliment for Guy Gladstone! Pearce can look a little thin/ill in the face and a bit nerdy, but I know what you mean. LA Confidential was the best film I saw him in.

Just watched him in “Disturbing the Peace “, I thought he bears a resemblance to Brad Pitt.
Looked 5’10 or 11. Good actor.

Ravenous, 1999.
When asked what he did to earn his medal, Guy replies, “Cowardice!”
Well, hardly, as this brave soldier fights Robert Carlyle’s cannibal character until the end.
What a disturbing film, but well worth a watch if you can stomach it!
5ft10.25.

‘The Seventh Day’ is not what I expected at all, and contains one of the BEST twists I’ve seen in a movie to date. After ‘The Exorcist’ was made, there have been many attempts to mimic it, but this one showed a completely different side to the terrifying theme while still being true to the ‘rules’ of what can happen after an exorcism.
I think William Friedkin and William Peter Blatty would give this the thumbs up!
I’m going with 5ft10.25 for Guy’s height. That was a plot and a half, brilliantly executed by Mr Pearce.

Why is it that so many soap stars go on to be big, famous movie actors? The reason is simple: they know how to work hard at the profession of acting, and let’s face it, they have enough practice!
When I used to watch Guy in Neighbours, never would I have believed that one day, I’d be watching him play an exorcist. I’ve only just started his film ‘The Seventh Day’, and I’m already impressed. I’ll be back later with Guy’s height, which I used to think was 5ft11.

I've been into movie props for some time, and bought one of Guy's jackets from L.A. Confidential. What really surprised me is how well the jacket fits me. I'm around 5'9.5" in the morning (176.5cm). The fit is really good, even sleeves are good length for me (I had to tailor some other 'normal' suit jackets I bought recently, to shorten the sleeves, but these are perfect).
My weight is around 150 lbs, so based on the fit I'd guess Guy also has to be close to my dimensions.

He is a about average height this seems spot on to me. Really like this guy and he was in some good movies LA Confidential, Memento, Count of Monte Cristo remake, and The Time Machine (among plenty of others) for awhile there in the last 90's to early 2000's this guy was a really hot actor.

I thought he was taller, he’s listed as 5’11” on Google. He looked like only an inch shorter than Russell Crowe in L.A. Confidential. He looked a little bit taller or the same height as Kevin Spacey, but Cromwell did tower over all of them at 6’6.5”. He didn’t look too much shorter than Colin Firth in the King’s Speech, I think he looked at least 5’11” in that movie, but maybe he was wearing lifts. In Memento, he also looked like 5’11” next to Carrie Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano who is listed as 5’9” on here, looked more than an inch shorter than him. I can’t believe he’s as low as 5’10” unless he was wearing higher footwear for the other movies, he probably measures near 6 foot in the morning. He gives off a taller impression than me for sure. I’d guess 5’10 1/4”-5’10 1/2” for him at the very least.

I think that sometimes - just sometimes - Guy can pull off a bit more, but not in the above picture!
I'm probably thinking about the film 'Ravenous', in which he's bound to look tall, starring alongside Robert Carlyle, who is small in stature but ferocious nonetheless in anything he chooses to play that way. He's absolutely psychotic in 'Ravenous', whereas Guy is a great deal more placid than Robert, but noticeably taller.
Guy gets 5ft10.25.

Editor Rob actually Guy has been called 5ft 10 in newspapers around the late 90's, just after emerging from his forgettable role on Neighbours, a role in which he was out-acted by BOUNCER the dog, to a guy who holds his own and more in films like LA Confidential!

Guy looks a bit like a college lecturer in this picture!
I do remember him from 'Neighbours', but I didn't realise it was the same, eh,Guy starring in these films for quite some time, I'm afraid to say! It might have something to do with the high standard of their voice coaches, as accents can really throw me sometimes!
If I had to have guessed Guy's height, I would have said "5ft11 at least!"
He does have a good posture, and I did get the impression he was taller. I'll take a better look next time I see him in 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'; I can compare him to Katie Holmes!

I thought he was taller to be honest. He looked quite tall in The Rover (great film). I'd almost go for 179-180. I think Pattinson could be a legit 184 - 185.

Pearce vs Pattinson is in my opinion a typical 5ft 10 vs 6ft situation (or 5ft 10.25 vs 6ft 0.25 as is listed, for that matter). Don't know what pictures you guys have seen to think they are the same height - Pattinson when standing tall looks easily 1.75-2in taller than Pearce for sure. I used to think of Pattinson as a 181 cm guy, 182 at best, but seeing him with Pearce, who for the most part looks like a legit and honest 178 cm guy, I think Pattinson is pretty much 183 cm range - 6'0.25 is very arguable.

He also seemed to be about 5'11" next to Colin Firth. More likely Firth is a weak 6'1" guy who can seem taller due to good posture, whereas Pearce is around 178-179 cm. Stop crushing on Pearce, Arch :=)

How straight the guy stands, if feet are together or apart, if a scale was used (which invariably gives reduced results as it gets tilted downwards from the head to the wall). So a so called solid 5-10, could honestly be 5-11. I feel, that for all practical purposes, wearing normal shoes and including a bit of hair he looked at least 6-0.5inches in memento, meaning u could call him a casual 5-10.5 to 5-11 with moderate comfort.

Editor Rob you could be 178.3cm...especially in countries that are using cm, and yeah, just round down. If 178.5 though, I guess you could go either way!

I saw him in Two Brothers and at times he could look 5'9" range. all I know is that he definitely not a tall guy and is average, but obviously way above average looking...

He was taller then GP with heels in iron man 3, or maybe just excatly the same height. So this Estimate is probably spot on.

Whenever I saw him in 'Iron Man 3' standing next to either Gwyneth Paltrow or Robert Downey, Jr., he looked about the same height as the former who is 5'9", and a little taller than the latter who is 5'8" 1/2. He must be at least 5'9".

off the crap Guy is an honest 5'10. in 2000 ravenous guy had 5 big inch under 6'4 Jeffrey Jones. so under 5'10 you guys think?
james cromwell is a weak 8" taller than Guy and listed 6'5.5 which is fair.
so 178cm be it!

Hi Rob,
I saw Guy the Other day in sydneys eastern suburbs... I think his here for a premiere... he was dressed really wierdly...think Saturday night fever-ish... and commensurate to that dress code, he had a pair of solid 1.5 inch heels on... he looked around 5'10 in them... So realistically Id say hes within half an inch of that mark.

@TheVerve that sheet of paper shown in the trailer describes some other character in the film which is being chased by the one played by Guy Pearce, so no lack of accuracy there.

LA confidentual is a weird one to judge. the actors in that movie have such a varied height range. kevin spacey to me is impossible to pick i'd say anywhere from 5'9 to 6'0. and at the start kevin spacey seemed taller though they never stood together on screen but when spacey spoke to him from behind the desk he seemed a tiny bit taller though pearce could have been on lower ground. but when the actually stand next to each other when they are teaming up i reckon pearce had 1.5 inches on him. maybe 5''10 for space and 5'11.5 for pearce. pearce is quite muscular in reality, i saw him on spicks and specks and i imagined he'd be about 6'2 just because of his lean and athletic posture. though.
funny though the first movie i saw him in was the count from monte cristo and he was so short next to caviesal. i think caviesal must have 3 inches on him.

Type "guy pearce, hanson" into gettyimages and you see him in 1.25" sandals next to director Curtis Hanson, who's listed 6ft1. He is dominated by about 4", though Hanson is in boots. He also get's dominated by Nick Cave on gettyimages (again search "pearce, nick cave") and you can see there's about 4.5 inches between them.
I'd say 5ft9.75/177cm is more accurate.

I saw him in London a couple of years ago and he was a lot shorter than 5'10" - at the time I was shocked by how wee he was! I reckon he was between 5'6" and 5'8" max.
Remember in film they have lots of devices to make people taller than they really are. He is small but in proportion so will look taller on screen.

Anyway I agree with 5'10" for Pearce, but Spacey is a tricky one. According to Glenn, he's supposed to be around 5'10" too, but next to Pearce he really looks 5'9" max.

Excellent point Rob! A couple of weeks ago I watched Priscilla Queen of the Desert for the first time, and his acting sucked big time (especially compared to Hugo Weaving/Terence Stamp antics).
What puzzles me about LA Confidential though are Pearce's scenes with Kevin Spacey (when they team up to follow Bud White i.e. Crowe), because Pearce looks some 2" taller than Spacey. I've seen the film at least a million times, and I'm pretty sure about that. Really weird.

No way. Re-watch Memento for Guy's scenes with 6'2 Stephen Tobolowsky, who literally towers over Pierce. That's more than a 3 inch difference. I'd say around 5'9 is more accurate.

Russel Crowe had lifts in LA Confidential because he was an inch taller than Spacey and almost two inches taller than Guy Pearce.
I Think that Guy Pearce is 5'10", maybe 5.9 1/2", but not much shorter.
