Alan Ritchson's Height
6ft 2 (188 cm)
American Actor and Singer best known for TV series Reacher, Blue Mountain State and for his portrayal of Aquaman in Smallville. On his website he was asked, 'how tall are you', to which he replied: "I am 6'2". In 2022 he said "Barefoot, I'm Six Three", "for some reason the internet thinks I'm 6'2, and that's way off" and also "[Reacher] He's 6'5", 220. I'm 6'3.5" and I was 235 when we started filming." In this convention photo Alan had a slight edge in footwear. On his imdbResume he listed his Weight as "205 lbs".
5ft 8 Rob and Alan @ Asylum 1, 2007
I'd convinced myself I was 6ft 2in to downplay my height and Reacher's 6ft 5in so I thought, "I'll have to exaggerate my height for this." But when I measured myself I was 6ft 3½in - add the boots and I'm pretty much there.

Rob, you should add Reacher to the line above......
I think 6ft2 and change is possible and in those boots he usually wears on the show easily clears 6ft3......

3 inch difference can make the other person look short imo. Would you agree tho. It’s quite a big difference. The eyes of a a person 3 inch shorter looks at the mouth of someone.

Yeah man I mean he's still a tall guy only an inch and a half or so from the very tall range. Has a great looking body frame/mass with wide shoulders. Can definitely play an imposing character even barefoot, but wearing a good 2-3 inch boot is definitely more than enough to play the part and look good doing it.
No need for him to exaggerate his height and lie about the steroids...I mean it is what it is plenty of people do steroids just be open about it and all's good.
FWIW he looks much taller than most 6'2 listed guys next to Rob and has less than 1/4 inch footwear advantage...but he's still likely much closer to 6'2 than 6'3.

I'm sure he does know his height 6'2", but it seems like he was worried about fan backlash as he's not actually 6'5" like the character he's playing. So he tried to play it off like he 6'5" "in boots". He's likely the 6'3.5" he claims in boots. As I mentioned going from Tom Cruise any actor over 6'1" would be seen as massive improvement from the fans perspective.

I really like him as Jack Reacher. He’s far closer to the books than Tom Cruise ever was.
I think he could be 6’2 1/8” at least. Never looks under this listing.

@Jay37 with the camera angles, boots and his bulked up frame he really does give the impression of looking 6'5" on the show. Either way yeah no need to lie, 6'2" is much closer to Reacher than 5'7.75" Tom Cruise was.

He is in no way above 188cm.Not sure why he's lying about his height since he got the Reacher role. The perfect actor for Reacher (before the controversy surrounding him) would have been Armie Hammer who's a legit 6'5". Has the right look and build too.

6'2 and a quarter isn't impossible as he is quite towering next to Rob but given a slight footwear advantage I'd lean closer to the flat 6'2 mark at a low honestly. Maybe 6'2 5/8 up to 6'2 3/4 first thing in the morning.
I'm really close to this height range (solid 187 at my normal low) and my shoulder bone is 5'2 and a half on the dot in a totally relaxed normal standing posture. So Rob would only be looking a little bit over that mark with his eyeline being just short of 5'4. That's about what I see in the pic with Alan - Rob is looking about 1.25 inches over his shoulder bone.

Rob, maybe 6ft2¼ isn't impossible?
From there, he'd easily be 6ft3+ in most shoes. Still don't understand his claim of rounding down, extremely bizarre and obviously doesn't hold any water when you compare him to guys in that range who you've met. I love his Jack Reacher though....totally blows Cruise out of the water

Nice joke. Gaining 60 lbs in that timeframe is only feasible on gear or excessive weight gain
Ritchson’s definitely juicing, but this is nothing new in his line of work. A problem, to say the least

Hilarious post Sean, you can't go from 165 lbs to 223 lbs of pure muscle in 6 months, impossible. Building muscle and mass takes a lot of time and patience, it would take many years to do that and keeping body fat low. I have 25 inch THIGHS and lift reasonably, I'd sure love to see your 25 inch pythons brother bahahaha!!!

Poor attempt at trolling dude.
It's obvious he's around 6'2 in the pic with Rob and if you look at natural lifters that have been at it hardcore for 15+ years the difference is night and day. Alan is not natural.
As far as your claims, those are ridiculous too. I'm not sure if anyone has a legit upper arm measurement of 24.75 inches without drugs. If it's even possible, it wouldn't be from a guy that started out at 165 lbs at 5'10. You'd of had to start out with a huge, big-boned frame (like, 10+ inch wrist) for which 5'10 and 165 lbs wouldn't even be possible.
And it's possible such a gigantic-framed 5'10 guy doesn't even exist with drugs. You'd probably have to be like 7 ft tall with insanely good genetics to hit a legit 24+ inch arms without drugs. Plenty of 5'10-6'0 bodybuilders out there that openly admit to using drugs, and their arms usually get no bigger than 19-22"

I've met Alan. Very nice young man. 6ft 3.5 he is every bit of barefoot. In the shoes he was wearing when we met he was probably 6'4.5. As far as steroids goes....why is it there's always a bunch of wussies who think just because they are too lazy or can't achieve good body mass that those who can are on human growth hormones. I started working out with a good friend of mine back in March of '96. I weighed 165lbs at 5'10.by October of that same year I was 223lbs had a leg press max of 2432lbs a bench max at 465lbs and a free arm curl max of 135lbs. My biceps circumference was 24.75 inches. All done naturally with a strict eating diet. So Alan did not use growth hormones he was just dedicated to his workout!! You boys believe anyone that gets big quick does boosters only to sooth your wimpy little egos. Grow up!

He looked just a tiny bit shorter than 192-193 cm Momoa in Fast X. Granted, Momoa was probably wearing some casual loafers and Ritchson was with military boots. No way he is below 188. I'd even argue 189 for him.

Yeah Darksol64 this guy is 100 proicent on steroids and probably growth hormone too. Being his size is not impossbile natural but its almost impossible to be that size wsith that low bodyfat. You always loose alot of strenght and size if you go from lets say 14 procent in bodyfat down to lets say 9 ( i think he is about 9 procent bodyfat from that photo) But good light so its hard to guess from one photo.Heres how my strenght went down with bodyfat. I was at my heaviest 131 kg and on that day i benched 202,5 kg i think my bodyfat was around 18 procent( at best 16,5 or at most 19). Average. I then went from powerlifting to bosybuilding and slowly cut down the bodyfat ( you need to do it veeeery slow if you are natural because if you do it fast and lets say run avery day then you will loose alot of muscles) I think it took me 1 year to get ripped at around 9 procent bodyfat at that time. I was still training as hard but my strenght went down alot when i lost 9 procent in bodyfat and the bench went down to around 180-185 kg just from that. then the periods when i didnt care about the bodyfat and it got up to closer to 13-14 procent, then the bench wenth back to closer to 200 again. Thats why a fat guy is almost always stronger than a skinny guy with decent muscles. Take a guy and let him benchpress, lets say he take 85 kg ish if he doesnt workout. then put him on pizza and hamber non stop for 3 monthc so he put on 10 kg of fat. I can promise you that he will take around 90 kg after that just from putting on alot of fat.

@ Duhon that's definitely steroids. 100%
Go look up legit natural lifters that have been at it for 10-15 years; one guy that comes to mind is AlphaDestiny (Alex Leonidas) who makes videos on YT.
He's almost as huge muscle wise (though he's only 5'5) but his physique looks SO much better and more natural. The difference is night and day.
So I guess he lies about that and his height with a ridiculous 6'3 1/2 claim. Sorry man but no you're not natural and you're 6'2 max if you were to go on a 5 hour walk/hike and measure with a stadio.

we should not take his height claim that serious. He have claimed in a few interview that he is natiral and did not take steroids for his new role. A guy that have been traingin hard his whole life suddenly when he is pushing 40 years old is putting on 40 pounds of muscles in a couple of months when that took me many years to achieve. I think he is lying about a lot of things. But his height is probably closer to 189. It will be interesting so see if he will be this size and be like dwayne johnson from now and have a heart attack at 55 or if he will loose 30 pounds of muscle in a year.

When you think about it, a lot of average-sized successful leading men (like Paul Newman) habitually play play characters that are taller than the actors are in real life, and three inches worth of difference is not unheard of.
How tall is Yul Brynner's gunfighter character supposed to be in The Magnificent Seven? Well, taller than five foot eight, surely. It's the same variety of standard leeway you see with leading men in their forties with 25 year-old girlfriends.

As I've said before, I could understand the bumped-up claims in relation to his Jack Reacher role, but with the new quotes, he's definitely pushing things too far! 😝
Not a chance he's 6'3.5 barefoot of course, at the very most a fraction over 6'2, although he never looked much over 6'2 to me, not even in Jack Reacher.

Unless he grew somehow, I personally can't see it. In sneakers though, it's possible.

I wonder if people who only know him from the show think he looks small when when they see him in person as he's not really 6'5"? However 6'2", 235 lbs would still dwarf almost everyone in size.

He looks taller than just 6'2 for me; 6'2.25-6'2.5 range. Just 188cm implies he falls in to that 187cm range at a low which he doesn't imo. 190.5cm in the morning and 188.5 at night - I'd give him 6'2.5 or 189cm

I think Ritchson is fine as Reacher, but I guess if you want someone that's close to Reacher's build and height, then Pablo Schreiber might be a decent casting, considering he's also starring as Master Chief in the Halo TV series, who's canonically 6'10 without his armor. However, him playing Master Chief might be the reason why they didn't choose him to play as Reacher because he's already busy with a role.

I think Ritchson is fine as Reacher, but I guess if you want someone that's close to Reacher's build and height, then Pablo Schreiber might be a decent casting, considering he's also starring as Master Chief in the Halo TV series, who's canonically 6'10 without his armor. However, him playing Master Chief might be the reason why they didn't choose him to play as Reacher because he's already busy with a role.

So Ritchson might’ve packed on 25 pounds or so, I think there is a chance Cena might still outweigh him just slightly but Cena has certainly lost a noticeable amount from his wrestling days when he (no offense) straight up look like Steroid Man.

I agree that Orton, Cena and Ritchson are all very close weight wise. I imagine that Orton is currently the heaviest of the three by a slight amount.

Yeah that’s the issue, people who are legit 6’5 and not athletes tend to have lankier builds. If it matters so much to have a guy the right height and build why not just cast a wrestler, tall bodybuilder or NFL player and then get someone do a voiceover?

I personally wouldn’t recast him even if he doesn’t strike as quite 6’5” in the role, as I said it didn’t really bug me that he fudged up his height in the recent quote as previous commenters had said.
Most actual 6’5” range actors wouldn’t look right, many are too slender of build like myself. Ryan Hurst (if he he’d shorn off his unkempt hair and beard) or Joe Manganiello might be alright but but maybe it’s hard to picture them doing as well as the role (Hurst is less handsome and jacked, just naturally big/Manganiello doesn’t seem to have as much quiet intelligence on screen as Ritchson).

yeah i agree if one of him and welling is taller then its probably welling. But at the same time, in samllville welling always had thick boots on and perfect posture and this guy was on flatter shoes or barefoot in alot of scenes. I think if you measure them at lets say 2:30 in the afternoon i guess welling would be around 189,3 ish. very legit 198 guy and this guy maybe 188,7 ish. very weak 189 guy. So basically welling could be maybe half cm taller. Thats how i think. Picture yourself this guy and arnold back to back at peak. there could be 1 inch difference.

I don’t really feel that bugged about him claiming what is likely his booted height for some reason, maybe for the purposes of appeasing Reacher fans. I saw Ritchson mention in interviews being concerned when bidding for the part that he’d not be considered big enough. He seems pretty different from Reacher in life, seeming pretty funny and self deprecating.

Actually, if I hadn't known that Ritchson was a paltry six foot two (by visiting Celebrity Heights) I could have easily believed that he was six foot five. You can fake up the missing three inches with tricks that aren't immediately obvious.
But it's more than just height, because Ritchson has the right personality. I suppose you could have cast a young Jeff Goldblum (six foot four and change) as Reacher, but he would have been worse than Cruise. Even if Cruise had been six foot five, he would still have been wrong as Reacher, because he just doesn't have the right amount of masculine authority.
Now and then you can cast an excellent actor in a part, even though he bears very little resemblance to the character as he has been played so far, and the actor will still succeed. Daniel Craig as Bond is a good example. Craig was not even close in physical appearance to the book Bond, but perfectly expressed Bond's tough, sharp, upperclass vibe

Then, after becoming more famous and realising Height isn't as much of an issue as they were led to believe, round up.
Or from a different angle - if playing a character who is 6ft 5, a 6ft 3.5 (in shoes) claim is a lot closer to matching that and the fans expectation of what Reacher is - a huge, imposing and domineering presence.

It seems the "real" Jack Reacher would be built and sized like a Rob Gronkowski or a JJ Watt and very few serious actors have that build. However with the muscle mass Alan put on for the role and the generous camera angles and footwear he's probably as good as you can get even at only 6'2".

Having watched Reacher, they obviously picked mostly short costars but IMO Ritchson still didn’t look that much like an actual 6’5” guy a lot. He’s intimidating and quite good in the role but his frame doesn’t seem tall enough for every other scene to have characters talk about him constantly as a “giant”.,
Notice him in the prison scenes made me think of Matthew Lillard in Twin Peaks where he had to duck under the bars going through a gate Ritchson doesn’t stand out like that. Then there’s Maria Sten’s character on Reacher who looks scarcely shorter in shoes, the actress is listed elsewhere as 5’10” but I’d guess her character is supposed to 6’1” or something.

The most I could believe would be 6'2.5". He does look a solid 6 inches taller than 5'8.25ish" Rob, so from this photo I'd think Alan's at least 6'2.25". Perhaps he got an early measurement around 6'3", maybe 6'2.75", and thus claims he's 6'3" now. 6'3.5" is a stretch though, sounds more like an in-shoes height.

If you want to add other quotes, here he claims 6'3 barefoot Click Here and here 6'3-6'3.5 Click Here ...
The old 6'2 was an honest enough claim from him, but I can understand him trying to push it a bit to sound closer to the character he's playing. I have seen the first episode out of curiosity and he's really treated as a sort of a giant on the show (besides the fact that he emphasizes he is 6'5 from the beginning), so height definitely seems an important factor for it.

That's a good point, Walter, about the Tom Cruise Reacher movies. Those are good, entertaining movies, although Tom Cruise just played somebody whose name happened to be Jack Reacher, even though that Reacher was nothing like the iconic character of the books. It's as if somebody had decided to make a Sherlock Holmes movie, using the plot of one of the original stories, and the name, Sherlock Holmes, but made Holmes a short, gregarious fat man.
In the Cruise films, Reacher is an expert driver. In the books, Reacher does not have a driver's license, and hates to drive. Cruise's Reacher seems to have no sense of humour. Reacher of the books has a sly, sarcastic wit. Stuff like that. The only Reacher-like quality Cruise's Reacher displays is the ability to beat up five assailants at once. And that's where Ritchson's Reacher really shines, in the prison shower room battle. That really is one of the best fight scenes I've seen in a movie, and it took a giant-sized actor (as Ritchson is made to seem) to carry it off.

Here's a good technique to estimate height with people next to Rob: If you're using a PC pull out the built in "On-Screen Keyboard" which gives you a nice straight line to work with.
For this instance I put it on Rob's eyeline and leveled across. Alan's Eyeline to chin is maximum 4.5 inches, and from there it looks like there's around a inch below his chin to Rob's eyeline. That's 5.5" between the two I'm seeing in the pic, putting him at around 6'1.75 or so. I think Rob is standing slightly straighter (But not much) so there ya go, there's 6'2. Solid listing.
That's one way to know that he's nowhere near 6'3.5 people mentioned. Rob's eyes would be nearly 3 inches below his chin.
With a solid pair of sublte platforms though, he can absolutely play the role of a 6'5 dude and no one would question it.

He is a tall 6'2" for sure. I think they hired shorter actors for the rest of the cast and used flatter footware for them and gave Alan lifts in his boots to boost him up a few inches. In the scene in jail when he takes off his boot he makes a noticeable dropdown. Still, as a fan of the books, Alan is about 95% what I imagined Jack Reacher to be. Cruise is about 4% (despite the movies being entertaining regardless).

Young Mr. Ritchson here denies having taken steroids to get his Reacher body. Well, he certainly took something, because his body is freaky big in a way that could not have been achieved without some kind of chemical enhancement.
There are real people who are as big as Reacher, and got that way with their own DNA. Lawrence Taylor of the New York Giants in the eighties was six foot four and played at 240 pounds. Merlin Olsen was six foot five and played at about 270 pounds. These were natural supermen. They're rare but they exist. And none of the football supermen look like bodybuilders, whose muscles have a horrible, inflated look. I can see why Ritchson had to bulk up to play Reacher, but the effect is (to my eye) grotesque and ugly.

I have seen the first episode of Reacher and Ritchson really does seem to be six foot five. I have DVD sets of Clint Walker in Cheyenne, so I can compare how a real giant (Walker) looked on screen to how a fake giant (Ritchson as Reacher) looks and the illusion is quite good. I suspect that it was mostly a matter of hiring shortish actors for all the supporting roles. If you look closely, the female lead (whose name is Willa Fitzgerald) looks to be about the same height as most of the men in the movie.
Incidentally, if you're a Reacher fan, Ritchson's Reacher is bang on perfect. Even if Tom Cruise had been tall he would still have been wrong as Reacher, because he doesn't have Reacher's natural authority and strength, as Ritchson does.

They have made Ritchson look Reacher's six foot five, maybe by casting smaller actors to fiddle with the scale, but it's a well done illusion. If you can make a five foot five inch man look like a three foot six inch hobbit, you can make a six foot two inch man look like a six foot five inch giant.

Editor RobYeah in the trailer he looks an imposing guy, if I hadn't met him would think 6ft 3-4 from those clips!

I was watching Smallville recently. I hadn't seen it since 2003 or so...I was massively into it when it first aired but then slowly drifted away from it...went back recently and started binging it...don't know what I was thinking back then by stopping as it's bloody awesome! It's more character-driven and complex then these garbage movies that Marvel shove down our throats nowadays
Anyway it's quite hard to pick apart Welling, Hartley and Ritchson apart...they all seem to edge each other out at times....John Schneider would be taller than all of them though

This article claims Ritchson as 6’4” but the AV club tends to be rubbish when bringing up height, like giving Dave Bautista and Dwayne Johnson 6’4” before.

@Yhrnamman he looks believably either side of 200, 10lbs is a realistic fluctuation over the course of a year with changeable stuff like hydration and workouts so 205 and 195 are both easily possible

@Dauphine We are debating how much he weighed when he met Rob. Nowadays hes likely 210-220 lbs, but I don't think hes natural anymore. Likely hopped on some gear(like TRT).
Anyways, Rob said in 2010 that he thought he was 200 lbs(when he met him), based on my own research that seems to be very accurate(he weighed 195 lbs in May 2004). He likely wrote "205 lbs" on his resume in 2011 or 2012.

Ok now its time for some pictures.
Here he is in 2005, age 22. This is not 205 lbs, no questions asked. However this is 2 years before Rob met him so he could've gained some muscle.

Now heres the main deal. I found a picture of Alan in May 2004 where it says his weight is 195 lbs. It literally says it:Click Here
Thats why I said "This is not 205 lbs, no questions asked"
So if he was 195 lbs in May 2004, that means he wasn't 195 lbs when he met Rob. However on the other side, hes not gonna gain 10 lbs in 3 years if hes already been working out for a couple years. So this gives him an estimated weight of 198-202 lbs when he met Rob.
Anyways, if I was only off by 5 lbs with my first guess, I'll take it.

Amazon studios described Ritchson at 6'4 and 235 lbs. There is no way he is 6'4 considering that's taller than Welling who is around 6'3. I also have a hard time believing he is 235, the most I see is 225. Here is the link:

Something that didn’t even occur to me was that not only is Alan wearing a colour known to make you look slimmer, but Arnold is probably photographed in good lighting to make him look bigger whereas Alan has no access to such lighting in the convention photo. Also I didn’t see the 200 guess but I saw the 210 one hence why I brought it up

@Dauphine Yes he does look pretty big, unless hes videoshopped he looks low 210s.
@ChaosControl You have to go near the bottom of this page, he said it in 2010 which is only a couple years after this picture was taken.
The black shirt makes him look slimmer, I don't know if thats the case or not but we could look at other pictures of him when he was a mid 20s guy.
The context of that picture of Arnold at 209 lbs, is that he had to slim down for a movie role. So he was off his favourite gear(test and dianabol).
Although its good you do seem to agree Arnold is a lot bigger in that picture than Alan.
@viper A lot of sources say hes 6'3", that has to be sorted out.

210 range possibly
I agree 6’2 220 is very big but there’s a few things to consider that make me think 200-205 is possible for Alan
1.Arnold was ,in his peak, at most 6’1.25, probably just 6’1. So that’s pretty much an inch difference
2. Alan in the main photo has a black t-shirt on, a colour famous for making you looks slimmer
3. Arnold is a steroid user, Alan probably isn’t and if he is then nowhere near as much as Arnold
4. Rob guessed Alan at 210 not 200

@Dauphine Show us a picture, even ChaosControl will say 6'2" and 220 lbs is very big.
@ChaosControl Its 6'1 3/8th", 209 lbs, 11% body fat vs 6'2", 205 lbs, 11.5% body fat. So slightly shorter, slightly heavier, very slightly leaner, yet a huge difference in muscle mass. Alan likely has around 16.25"-16.5" arms where as Arnold is 18" flat.
Also ironically if you go to the bottom of this page, Rob said he looks around 200 lbs. So even he didn't think he was 205+ lbs.
I might be able to believe hes in the late 190s standing with Rob.
Though someone did say he might be as low as 185 lbs, thats like someone whos been working out for 1 year.

@ChaosControl I could claim to be 210 lbs, and most people would believe it even though I'm really 200 lbs.
But heres the thing. In this picture he doesn't even look 200 lbs, but if you look at his Instagram he does now look 205-210 lbs as a late 30s man. So it likely depends when he claimed to be 205 lbs, was it recent or as a mid 20s guy.

He claimed to weigh 205, it’s entirely possible that a well-built legit 6’2 guy can be 200+ and look muscular. I’m fractionally taller (6’2.5) and usually around 205 and pretty muscular, I put my biceps on General a week or two ago.

Could be cast in a tv series as Jack Reacher. If so, he would certainly be an improvement over Tom Cruise, although, at six foot two, he is still too short to play Reacher of the books. It is ironic that the most appealing thing about Jack Reacher the character is his immense size and strength, but this makes it hard to find an actor who can play him on the screen.

At times it seem the mid day height of Alan could be cross between 6'2 1/8 to 6'2 1/4, Justin 6'2 3/8 and Welling 6'2 5/8. Given the low i can say Rob is pretty accurate with 6'2 range guys. Maybe because Rob have met more 6'2 guys than those 6'1 and under. Many 5'11-6'1 listing were still over listed 0.25-0.5".

Editor RobHartley edges out Richston I feel...Welling I feel can edge both of them out, but they really all could measure within 1cm. You could make a case for them measuring: 6ft 2 1/8th, 2 3/8ths and 2.5
I do feel Welling out of the three gave me a taller impression, but really without measuring there is always the chance they are closer than the listing.
Whilst the floor is generally quite level in that Olympia Centre, it isn't totally level everywhere - may well be slight variations that can account for fractions.

187.96 is literally 6'2" flat. 187 cm is not far off 6'2".
I agree with Junior. I think this guy could be 6'2 1/8".

everything about that his spot on for the stats in the movie except his weight. Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime at the heaviest was 245lbs and looked twice as big with twice the arm size. my guess for his weight would be around 215lbs-225lbs. no where near 250lbs.

No less than a good inch (3 cms range) shorter than Tom, I'd say!
It's a shame that you cannot see their footwear, though. I mean, it's natural to suppose that Tom has bigger footwear and Timbs on like most of the time but you can never be sure. I've seen more than one backstage photo where Tom was in Birkenstock sandals in the past...

Don't fool by picture above. Shorter head 9.1-2" and shorter nose (16.5-16.7cm from lower tip of nose to head) plus bonus slight footwear makes him look near 6'2.5 with big rob. I can assurd he is only strong 187cm at 6'1.6-6'1.7 precisely and justin hartley more like 6'1.8 to 6'2 max

Only in some scenes with Erica Durance and he's in slippers with Tom in his first episode... In the others he's wearing shoes which are not much thinner than Tom's ones! Still he looks clearly shorter than him, i think it would be no less than an inch if measured barefoot... 0.75 is really the minimum difference i can buy! You yourself said that he's no different than the weak 6'2 plumber!

Editor Rob it is not much more than 8 inches last I checked, which isn't really small, it is within 8-8.5 average range. A women with a 9.5 inch head would have a very long head...you can get 7.5-8 inch range which are smaller end of the scale.

Where do you come to the 6'2.25-.5 conclusion?? Mugshots are bad indicators . Plus he could be in boots. I've seen many 5'10 guys look over 6'0 in them . Check out mark David Chapman.
Also I think 5.8 inch difference in the pic with Rob considering his footwear advantage.

I had already said that usually people over estimate taller people heights. It happen always with me, I'm given always one inch more than my real height, sometimes two. Once even three from a collegue who is much shorter than me. That is normal. We can make good guess only if we stand in front of a person near our own height, otherwise our perspective is not a good point of reference.
In this picture, Alan Ritchson eyeline seems 2 cm over Rob's headtop, this would mean 173+2=175cm. If Alan's eyeline-headtop distance is same as the average (11 cm), it would make him 175+11=186cm. Rob says Alan has a slight edge in footwear, let's cut 1 cm then, so my guess after this picture is 185cm (±1cm) for Alan Ritchson. And it appears to be quite consistent with my estimation of Justin Hartley's height.

Rob, did Alan look taller than the 187 challenger guy? You said that guy can easily pass for 6'2. You'd be surprised if Ritchson actually measured about the same at his lowest?
Editor Rob
Ritchson looks 6ft 2 in person aswell, I don't know if he dips below, but there's always a surprise, I didn't think the challenger would have been nearer 6ft 1.5 than 2.
the challenger can certainly look a solid 6ft 2 in person, I believe if he shrinks 1 inch then that's why I remember him more as a 6ft 2 guy than 1.5 range, because I saw him a lot in the morning/early afternoon rather than his 6pm height, which turned out to be a solid 6ft 1.5.

Rob what about weight of Ritchson and Hartley? I agree Justin is just a hair taller and Ritchson seems a legit 6'2''. Welling an inch taller because he's a legit 6'3''

How long is his head, Rob? The same range as yours? Around 9,5 range? He doesn't look straight ahead in the picture though unlike you.

Rampage, one thing is sure. Both look at least an inch shorter than Tom Welling... They made Jensen look a weak 6ft because he really is?

Rob, you've met Ritchson and Hartley. Who struck you as taller?

Editor Rob they were very similar, big 6ft 2 guys, I could see Justin as a fraction more, but they may well be so close there's mm's in it.
They certainly made Jensen look a weak 6ft on stage that weekend.

i look about the same height as alan next to my mom (5ft 8) and i'm 186. maybe he's got 0.25 inches on me but rob says he had an edge in footwear. i think that all the smallville "tall cast" is 0.5 inches less than what is said here.
alan ritchson: 186
justin hartley: 187-188
tom welling: 188-189

I've seen the first episode of Alan Ritchson in Smallville and he does look 1.5-2 inches shorter than Welling, but i repeat, Welling does have like 0.5 inches of advantage over him so he's like only 1-1.5 inches taller than Ritchson. Noway is this guy over 6'2...

Saw this guy several times when they shot scenes for Blue mountain State at McGill University. I'm 189cm and he always seemed to have at least a good half inch on me. And I was wearing steel toed big boots every time, too.

Legit 6'2. Welling had about an inch on him in Smallville.
