Stiles could be around 6ft5½ zone today, peak a solid 6ft6 no question. On the subject of Ashton Kutcher, Diedrich and him look about the same opposite Ryan. Will Smith I still got in the strong 6ft1 range, tops 6ft1½ (most guys his height round to 6ft2). Diedrich was taller than him in that episode of Fresh Prince, maybe an inch? That's a noticeable enough difference

Looking damned near 6'3 with Ryan in that first picture you posted rampage.
Although I feel that Ryan was closer to 6'5 than 6'6 as he got into his 50s. Something like 6'5 3/8, maybe 6'5 1/2 max. 20s/30s I'm sure he was near 6'6, but possibly even then maybe a little below like 6'5 3/4 or so. Never came across to me as a strong 6'6. He never towered Ashton Kutcher as much as 6'6 1/4 Carmelo Anthony did.
Anyway, as you said no way is this guy below 6'2. 188-189. I'll guess 6'2 1/4
@Fanz. That's because Smith is one of those guys who's probably weak 6'1 at best and still claims 6'2+. This guy on the other hand is an actual 6'2, and maybe a little change to go along with it. There's a bigger difference than you'd think between weak 6'1 and strong 6'2.

This guy always looks really tall onscreen. Definitely nothing below this and 189cm is certainly still up for debate. Wouldn't have bat an eyelid at 6ft3 either if he claimed it.
Stacking up well with Ryan Stiles both back in the day and more recently. It's possible Ryan has lost a bit of height but all in all that's how a real 6ft2 should look next to 6ft6

It’s pretty interesting that he’s the exact height and weight of Batman in the comics and also voiced him.

Franz, not sure what spectacles you had on at the time but I've just watched a couple of scenes where he looks shorter than Smith. He looks like he could be about 6'1''. He doesn't give a 6'2'' impression in that. I have seen him in other things where he looks about 6'2'' though, but he can't be other that.

Shocked to see he's only 6'2. Looked at times 6'3/ maybe even perhaps 6'4. In The Fresh Prince of Bel Air he looked 6'4 compared to 6'1¼ Will Smith. I'll say he's 6'2¼ still even into his 50's.

Diedrich always look 3cm on 6'1 Colin Mochrie. I still have hard times seeing him flat 6'2.

This guy could pass for near 6ft3 at times. Looked very tall in Office Space a good 4-5in on Ron Livingston
I know he was originally listed a little 6ft2 here. I'd go back to that........

Could 6’2 1/4 be a possibility? I originally thought he looked 6’4-6’5 tall to me and I think he looks a little over 6’2” flat to me.

Editor RobIt's a figure some people would guess him at...he could be more likely 6ft 2-2.25 than say 6ft 1.75-2

Appeared on an episode of Fresh Prince. He looks a hair shorter than Will Smith in the top photo with a slight lean while Smith is standing tall but then looks only 2in shorter than James Avery. I think he gives a taller impression next to Avery than Smith...

He's a strong 6ft2 guy, possibly 189cm. I think Craig Ferguson might be 6ft1.25/186cm. Diedrich was a bit taller him in the Drew Carey Show

He describes himself as 6'2" and 210 pounds here in the context of mentioning Max Baer Jr. making him feel small:

Anybody remember the Fresh Prince ep when Hilary says in reference to his stature "he's not that tall." but then again the Avery guy on the show was 6'4''and BIG too.

Rob, this guy is 6'3 then, if Boreanaz is a bit under 6'1, then he might be 190cm. Seems fair, because he always looks tall.

I always thought this guy was just on 6 foot. He made WAY to many references to himself as being a tall guy for me to actually believe he is tall. lol

He's 6'4, Boreanaz is a legit 6'1, you rarely see someone that much taller than Boreanaz in Bones.

He's understating his height. In tv show bones he's no less than three inches taller than solid six foot David Boreanaz, do the mathz (bad joke i know).
Then i guess that Justin is telling the truth, i would go with the 6'4" though.

sounds about right. He was about same height or hair shorter than Goodman in "Center of the Universe". John wore his hair pretty short then, and Diedrich always has a bit of his 'fro, so evens out.

Yeh I think more then 6'2" from my encounter ( I stood next to him in a queue in LAX, but I think 189cm is fair to be honest, 6'2" I thought might be abit stingy, 6'2.25" is perhaps still stingy, definitely a hard one to crack, but 6'2.5" I Reckon is on the money

Yep from my encounter I think 6'2.5" is fair or 6'3", but I dont think i could have picked the 1 odd cm gap between the 2 heights

This is about right. I saw him at The Actor's Fund show 2 yeasr ago. Tho I might downgrade him a bit to 6-2 even.
