He looks quite diminutive in Cabin in the Woods. Wouldn't have said anything over a flat 5'8.

Remember he has a very small hairline. I wouldn't bet on a big 5'11 range at any point for Bradley, though I wouldn't completely rule out close to 180 cm. On The West Wing he could generally look 2-3 cm taller than Rob Lowe who's probably closer to 177 than 178 cm. He looked similar to Bryan Cranston a few years back Click Here, Click Here and maybe 2 cm taller than Lamorne Morris who's somewhere near 176 cm Click Here. With Colin Hanks Click Here and Matthew Perry Click Here he looked less than 5'11 when he would have been in his prime. Think he was always near 5'10.5 and started looking closer to 5'10 flat a few years ago.

No less than 5'11 now (if he lost some height). In a lot of 80's and 90's movies, Bradley Whitford pulled off looking 6'0.

Looked more than an inch taller than 5’9.5” Sandler. Definitely an honest 5’10.5” at worst. Maybe even solid 5’11”.

Interesting, he is shorter than 5'9.25 Andy Samberg in an episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine yet appeared close to Andre Braugher's height of 6'.

In The West Wing, he often looks about as tall as Allison Janney. One can't be sure of footware changes, but he generally looks more.like 180 or 181 cm to me. In the same show, he often seems to be at least an inch taller than Rob Lowe. Thoughts Rob?

Rob I would put Bradley Whitford at 5'11.25" or maybe even 5'11.5". Clearly taller than all the 5'10" listed guys on The West Wing and looks the same height as 6'0" listed Allison Janney in many scenes.

If the amps are 5' 11", then he's 5' 9" without a doubt. Ritchie a has at least 2" heals in in the 74' Cali Jam. One of the greatest guitarist alive.

I met Ian Gillan at the Perfect Strangers tour in Long Beach after the concert at the backstage to the backstage. I'm about 6 feet tall and was wearing flat shoes as was Ian Gillan and we stood exactly eye to eye which surprised me so Ian is about 6 foot tall. He's definitely not 6'1". I hear Blackmore is about 5'6" tall and of course he always wears shoes with very high heels. I think that's one reason he didn't like Ian going over to his side of the stage.

You would know by meeting him Glenn. A friend of Ritchie (Stewart Smith) is 5'10" without heels. In photos together they seemed pretty close. Ritchie always has heels that boosted a couple inches. I always thought he was 5'9" or even a little less with heels.

Gillan - In 1980, when I met him backstage, he was 6'1". I was 5'11" then, and he was a fair bit taller, even after a hard-rocking show! He's since lost at least 3 stones in weight, so is unlikely to have shrunk.
Blackmore - At least 5'10", same as me. I saw him live in '03, and he was similar height. The Cal Jam DVD is a fantastic watch and listen - Blackmore's speed-solo in You Fool No One is true rock'n'roll! Didn't know those Marshalls were 5'11", but it's great to learn these things. :)

Think I saw the same picture. Thought the same thing. There was a picture of Beck with Blackmore and Cozy Powell, from '79/'80, and he seemed shorter than both, but not that much. Yep, 5'9" seems right.
Purple have made it into the UK daily press! Probably the first time since '84. Ian Gillan was very unhappy about the release of the Birmingham (UK) show from '93 on CD, and urged fans not to buy it. This was the show where Ritchie got stroppy with a cameraman. Anyway, parts of Highway Star and Black Night were left guitar-less. The CD has been withdrawn. (I got it as part of a 4-CD set, but, with Purple being my Beatles, one poorish show ain't about to change my view. Still, you can see Ian's point - Purple are at a peak at the moment, which has been going for years.)
Anon. - I reckon Turner is shorter than that - closer to Dio's height.

Thanks, Glenn. Beck is another brilliant guitarist. Purple wanted him to replace Blackmore in '75. It would've been AWESOME!
Anon - Point taken, but Blackmore looked not far off Gillan's height onstage. Ergo, he's closer in height to him than Dio (or Turner).

I don't know if being skinny always makes you look taller. I'm far skinnier than Ritchie Blackmore ever was(5'7 and a half, 118 pounds) and I don't look tall. Ritchie probably looked tall because he stood next to 5'4 Ronnie James Dio often.

sco B - That's because he was very slim indeed back then. He still has that wiry, lean build. That makes him look really tall, though! See the picture on back of Rainbow Rising. Also, he was taller than everyone in Rainbow, except Powell and Airey. 5'7"? No way. He's at least as tall as I am (5'10").
Anyone know how tall Jeff Beck is?

Ok, just remembered a direct quote on height from a contemporary of Ritchie's - Mick Abrahams, guitarist/singer of Blodwyn Pig, and Jethro Tull's 1st guitarist. (He was replaced by Tony Iommi for about a month in JT!) I saw Blodwyn Pig in '05 in Wales, and Mick told a story about a huge guy who came to one of their shows. "This guy was massive... I'm around 6'1", but he was way taller." (The story was that the guy jokingly blamed him for getting him in trouble at school.) So we know that he is 6'1". Brilliant musician as well.

Just realized that the tallest member of the Deep Purple 'extended family' must be Brett Bloomfield, who played with Ian in Gillan/Repo Depo, '91 - '93. This guy is monumentally tall, 6'7" or so. Even Murray, Vandenberg, and Ian Gillan himself, are only eye-level with his chin! (And bass-players are usually short - Bain, Jones, Anthony, et al..)

I know IG put on weight after leaving Purple the first time, but he seems to have lost a lot since around '02. He was well-slim on the Bananas tour. Gives us all hope as we get older!
Anyone ever hear any of Rod Evans' work with Captain Beyond? Both albums get top marks from here.

Well, Gillan is my favourite rock singer, along with Dio; he's a great bloke, with a cool sense of humour; and women love him! So I'm quite happy for him to be 6'7". In fact, you mention Bev Bevan; he is said to be 6'2", and he and Gillan appear to be close in height. So I still say he's 6'2". Which is tall enough to be tall, if you see what I mean. Maybe Tony Iommi was talking about IG's biceps! His voice is certainly bigger than average. :) Anyway, Ian Gillan IS NOT SHORT. Ok?

"Yes way". I love it!
Have to say that I don't think anyone in Purple is/was over 6'1". Gillan and Evans must be the tallest, until Mr.Glover gives way to Neil Murray (kidding), with Lord/Coverdale, then Simper/Blackmore. Actually, Don Airey is pretty tall. Saw him in the bar at a Company of Snakes gig, and he was at least an inch taller than I am (am 5'10-and-a-half").
What does give Tyr (never did hear that album) some weight re. Gillan is that he (IG) did seem quite a bit taller than John McCoy and Bernie Torme in the Gillan days; they are at least 5'11" apiece. Actually, I think Gillan and Plant, fittingly, are same height. And I'd love to hear them duet on Child in Time.
Tyr,
"Yes way". I love it!
Have to say that I don't think anyone in Purple is/was over 6'1". Gillan and Evans must be the tallest, until Mr.Glover gives way to Neil Murray (kidding), with Lord/Coverdale, then Simper/Blackmore.

Hi again. '07 got off to a good start in England - not much trouble last night, for a change. Sorry, you don't want to know about England's boring problems... But England's best-ever group, Deep Purple, that's different!
If you ever see pictures from Knebworth '85 (I was there, and only just dried off!), Blackmore and Gillan were getting on well, RB even putting his head on IG's shoulder; from that, you can see around 2 inches difference. Jon Lord later said that Gillan was taller than himself, but that he was just over 6'. So I'd say that Gillan was 6'1". I briefly met Gillan in '80, when I was 5'11", and he was 2 inches over me. Rod Evans was also just over Lord's height, but very slim. Burly Nick Simper was just a tad taller than Blackmore. Coverdale said he was 6' exactly. Glenn has now convinced me that Glenn Hughes is a heel-wearer - he always looked as tall as Coverdale. Glover, Paice, and later Bolin, were all similar heights - 5'8"-ish. Sorry this is long!

Jon Lord mightve been close to the height you claim.but no way was Gillan taller than 6-1.

Hi Glenn. Happy New Year!
Yes, I was keen to see if the late Cozy Powell was 5'10" - thanks to you, I know he was - and discovered lots of other interesting things on here. Height is a defining aspect of a person. No idea why, but it seems to be. And, unlike weight, it doesn't fluctuate much! Cheers from me.

Glenn,
Good question. I should rephrase it: the only celebs I find interesting are/were members of Purple, Zeppelin, Lizzy, UFO, Bad Co., and a small handful of other bands! But, to read news on them, one ends up reading news on other rockers, so I know a bit about the whole Kerrang (when it was good) cabal! But I have to admit - I thought Jude Law was a lady until someone told me otherwise, and I failed to recognise UK actress Dawn French when she spoke to me at work!
Anyway, thanks for these great pictures. Did you meet Morse too? Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming is up there with Child in Time and Stairway..

actually theyre probably even my favourite band overall as for right now

Am well-impressed, Glenn! Although not into the idea of fame or celebrity, these are my fave musicians of the lot. You are taller than Paicey - officially your height. Maybe he's a bit shorter than in early days. Was the pic with Lord, Paice and Gillan taken in '96? Purpendicular era is my guess. Have briefly met Gillan and Paice - both great guys. Jon Lord is said to be a real gentleman.
Would put Nick Simper at almost 6' - look at Shades of DP, and you'll see he's between heights of Lord and Blackmore. Rod Evans seems to be at least 6' in standing pictures.
Thought RB was 5'11", but he's now my height - 5'10+. Anyway, you almost got him to smile by the look of the picture!
By the way, I really like Blackmore's Night. It's really poor that some people slag off Candice as a Yoko Ono figure; Ritchie had been yearning to move into this musical area before he met her.
This site is great! :)

ehrm, why do you have Blackmore on this site but not Gillan?
btw i thought Blackmore was shorter than this, cause he once said that Gillan (who is 180cm) is "bigger", so i dont think he would say that if the difference wasnt really noticeable
