Casper Van Dien's Height
5ft 9 ¼ (175.9 cm)
American actor best known for roles in films Starship Troopers and Sleepy Hollow. In this photo he had a cowboy boot which was an inch thicker than my sneaker. On twitter he once mentioned his height and weight: "I am 5' 9 1/4". 165 pounds. 9 1/2 shoe" and on another occasion "I am almost 5'9" and a half."
5ft 8 Rob and Casper @ LFCC 2014
I grew an inch when I was 20 and an inch when I was 21. It was a late spurt.

Yeah this is what a true 5’10 looks like next to a solid 5’8. In reality, he only has Rob by an inch or so.

This is what a solid 5'10 range guy having 2 inches over Rob should look like with good posture.
5'9 1/4. Could possibly barely scrape 5'10 a few seconds out of bed.

Oooooh! Now that's what I call a photograph with ATTITUDE! It makes me wonder, Rob, would you ever consider getting into acting? You're very photogenic, so it follows that you'd look good in front of the movie camera!
Casper looks taller than 5ft9.25. He's very honest to admit to that height; I'd have thought nearer 5ft9.75.
He's getting the compromise of 5ft9.5.
😀👍😆👍
Editor Rob
as I mention, Casper has an extra inch of footwear. He looked a solid 5ft 10 in person, so his claim of 5ft 9.25 is entirely believable.
He was quite height aware on Twitter and does often wear cowboy heels. A shame he deleted his account as I'm slowly archiving as many height tweets as possible....although I do have a screencap and one of him mentioning his son was almost 6ft 4.

An actor who claims 5ft 9 and 1/4, actually is about that height.

Interesting that Casper was 5'7 1/4 before he turn 20. I stop growing at 18 and a few months old and i consider myself lucky while most of my peers stop growing taller at 16.

Just like what he said on his twitter pages years and years ago. 5ft 9 quarter? I can guess his height around that range like some said. But it's interesting for me to know that he isnt that tall men with Dutch sounding last names begins with Van-. I do know many dudes with Dutch or Nordic ancestors average height is 6footer and above.......

He's obviously between 5'9 1/4" and 5'9.5", therefore, he's 5'9 1/3" and looks it. I also think that is a late day or evening height. I'm sure this man wakes up at over 5'10".

I guessing something like maybe close to 3 inches?

Editor RobNot that high, 1.6-1.7 is a modest cowboy, 2 inch a pretty solid one. 3-inch is a huge monster of a cowyboy.
This image is actually quite good at showing the varying size of heels Click Here.
This is the kind of stuff I had to look at for this site, because guessing footwear is tricky and if you are meeting people you want to have a decent idea of what 1.25 or 1.75 looks like :)

I just saw his movie..."Tarzan and the Lost City" and I think he was a surprisingly a good casting choice for the role.He wasn't as big,tall or as one would expect a Tarzan actor to be,but he pulled it off.
"I am 5' 9 1/4". 165 pounds. 9 1/2 shoe" VS 'I'm 5'7 1/2.170 pounds.9 shoe size.
I too could play a leading man.

I thought he looked like a solid 5'10" guy here right away, not 5'11" so it makes sense he's 5'9.25" and was wearing cowboy boots. He's always taller than 5'8.5"/weak 5'9" guys like Stephen Baldwin and Johnny Depp.

Rob,I think it's a typical example of someone who truly measured himself.He looks maybe 3-4mm over 5'10 but rather 6-8mm since you're a little over 5'8 yourself.In other words 6-8mm over 5'9 when taking into account shoe advantage.If only everyone was that honest...I mean when looking at him few would think he's not 5'10 had he claimed such height.still he chose the truth path.That's great!

Even at a legitimate 5'9", he's fairly short for his ancestry (Van Dien is a Dutch surname, who are as a whole, the tallest people in the world).
That's silly. Just because he has a dutch surname doesn't mean he is mostly Dutch. He is a mixture of many ethnicities (English, Irish, etc.) where 5'9 is average.

He looks nearly 5'11" here. Take that away, and you got an honest 176 cm person.
I've wore boots before. the top of my head literally went over the eye level of a person. That same person also edged out Barack Obama in several pictures.

Seems right to me never looked tall or too small he was obviously bigger than depp who i think also claims this height..
He is a rather weak actor but played a decent hero or cool guy and even d bag villain henchman.

yeah, if rob and casper had similar shoes then casper couldn't be under 5'10" for sure (if not 5'10.5"). i think he has always an excellent posture which make him appear taller, also next to rob: while van dien is perfectly straight rob is not with his head and neck...5'9.25" is a perfect listing for van dien!

yeah, i have just watched it and in a couple of scenes he does look close to Patrick Muldoon, who looks tall for all the movie and i think is an honest 6'2", but maybe the camera angle make Van Dien taller than what he really is...

For example in starship troopers he looks quite tall...I thought before he was in the 6' range!

Editor Rob 175.9cm to the 5ft 9.25 mark. For this guy to be under 5ft 9 he'd have to have thicker cowboy boots than I thought.

Rob, i think we see 2-3 cm difference on the photo.
The difference we should see, if he is 1.76m and you 1.73m.
But with Cowboyboots on, i can´t see him taller then you.
Maybe 1.74m without the boots. BUT i always thought he is taller then 5foot9. He never looked small to me.
Editor Rob
Rob, i think we see 2-3 cm difference on the photo.
The difference we should see, if he is 1.76m and you 1.73m.
But with Cowboyboots on, i can´t see him taller then you.

Editor Rob he was looking to me in the strong 5ft 10 range, so minus his inch of extra footwear I can firmly believe his 5ft 9 and 1/4.
I mean, here he is with a 5ft 10 guy, about 0.7ish more footwear than that guy...

176cm, 165lbs, size 9 shoe. He is literally the prototypical "average built man". I've never seen someone report their height to such pinpoint accuracy.

@His heels are in the 1.7 inch range at least, some of them get called 2-inch cowboy boots, but they give like 1.7-1.8 inch of actual height.
If so, then he is nothing more than 5'8'5"(174 cm) barefoot. 5'9 max.

How can people say he looks 180 in this pic? I struggle to see him even at 178 to be fair... Then if you also consider he has about an inch more footwear, i don't think he's much more than 5'9 flat! I mean, just basing on this picture, i wouldn't be surprised if he measured a fraction shy of 5'9 at his worst! But, as i always say, it is just a picture and one picture is never enough! So if Rob met him and said he looked about 178 with more footwear, he really could be 175-176!

Editor Rob I don't think I could have got a better photo with him for height unless I wore the boots he wore that weekend. This particular photographer was all over the place with his camera that evening and other days, I'm surprised this one came out as good as it did!
Click Here. Minus an inch and he's right on the 5ft 9.25 mark...I believe casper is a good example of an actor who measured his claim.

correction ,he himself stated that he is almost 5'9 1/2....definetly plausable....in most of his movies he doesnt come across as being short....thats the point. anything that is near say 5'10" will not come across as being short on the movie screen...why??...well, because if you take the shoes that the actor is wearing, it will probably add at least 1 to 1 1/2 inches to his height...hence a 5'10" guy will be near 6'....only the really short guys like pacino, cruise, hoffman, devito..etc....appear obviously short.

Hate to tell you, but he is barely 5-9 if that. He spoke with us after the Oscars a few years ago, and I got pics somewhere. He is much shorter in person, and wears boots a lot! Notice, he rarely gets cast against taller actors, or he does not share many direct scenes with them if they are taller!
