Needs a downgrade- he was EXACTLY the same height as Kiefer Sutherland in Designated Survivor, and he was wearing giant boots with a footwear advantage, so I would even give the edge to Kiefer.

Rob, Walsh definitely deserves a downgrade.
Has never looked more than 5'9". Great-looking guy, but a bit below average height.

No way he's 5"10, John Hensley is 5"10 and he looked definately 1-2 inches bigger than him. I'd say he's about 5"8.5

he could be 5ft10, although I doubt it after seeing 'Stepfather' yesterday. next to Sela Ward(listed 5ft7.5) he looks 5ft8-5ft9, with a weak 5ft9 probably closer to the truth. I was also surprised about Amber Heard in that movie. she looked 5ft7 max barefoot. that Penn Badgley fella is listed 5ft9 , so the 5ft6 estimates for Heard are not madness, as I thought b4. after all, 5ft6 is bordering tall for a woman. check it out Rob.

Yea, i know which scene your talking about. I have all the seasons of Nip tuck and just watched all of season 1 and finally saw when they try to have shower sex.. It was totally noticeable that Dylan was shorter than her. Whether they had footwear advantage or not, he could easily be 5'8-5'9. So yea.

Just watched a episode of nip tuck where sean and julia get shower together. I can only guess they were barefoot during this scene eventhough the camera showed nothing below their chest line. Sean was at least an inch shorter than Joley Richardson who is a good 5'9-5'10 herself. I'd give DW 5'8.5.

The actor who plays Matt is 5'10 it appears and he's a bit taller than Walsh. Walsh is 5'9 1/2 max to me now looking at more of him on Nip/Tuck. Joely Richardson is 5'9.5-5'10.

James, Julian has 4-5 inches on Walsh. Only certain angles or whatever can make the difference shorter. Julian is 187-188cm while Walsh is 176cm.

He seems 5'9 to me. He has the look and build of a dude that's 5'9 but can look taller since he's slimmed down quite a bit from before. Check out the movie "Nobody's Fool" with him, Bruce Willis and Paul Newman. They all seemed to be in that range. He didn't look 5'10 then either.

Stiffelio, yea thats what I meant as well. Different times the height difference will be greater or smaller. They make certain shots where they look closer in height while they're 4-5 inches apart. I think McMahon is at least 6'1 1/2 if not 6'2. Puts Walsh between 5'9 and 5'10.

How many inches do you guys really see between Julian and Dylan? I see sometimes as low as 2-3 then sometimes at least 4 inches. I think certain camera angles do that or Dylan is wearing lifts during certain scenes.

Yeah, I really don't see Dylan as being 5'10.5''. I mean, he's about the same height (flat footed) as Joely Richardson, who's listed as 5'9.5".

McMahon does look to have between 4 and 5 inches on Walsh. The shorest I can buy Julian at his 6'1 but likely is a bit more.

Rob, to answer your questions: No to the first and Yes to the second. Now that you bring up Congo, the younger Walsh had a heavier build at that time and seemed even shorter than the current Nip/Tuck star.

Heq, please have a look at the picture links posted by MD below. There's a clear 4 to 5 inches height difference between McMahon and Walsh. And now that they are questioning McMahon's height I'm even wondering if Walsh is 5'9" or even shorter.

No way. Julian has almost 5 full inches on Walsh. Walsh is 5-9 at best.

All I know is that Dylan Walsh only appears to be 2 inches shorter than tall Macmahon on nip/tuck. I'd say he's AT LEAST 5"10 (if macmahon is really 6"1.5)

The height difference in these still pictures is never less than 4in but in most cases it looks like 5in or more. The same happens in Nip Tuck especially in full body shots (i.e the two guys standing or walking side by side). IMO McMahon is 6ft 2in and Walsh is 5ft 9 1/2in (max) and most probably just 5ft 9in.

Bill, Roma Maffia is leaning back against a table or almost sitting on it in that picture of the three together, plus Dylan is mor in the foreground than Julian. In long pane or full body shots it is clear that Dylan is way shorter than Julian, fairly shorter than Roma and even a bit shorter than Joely. There are far too many examples if you watch any Nip/Tuck episode. Dylan Walsh is between 5'9" and 5' 9 1/2".

There's no way Walsh is 5'10. He has to be 5'8.5-5'9 max. There is a scene in the season 2 finale where him, Roma Maffia and Macmahon are walking through the airport together and Maffia who is listed at 5'10 is at least an inch taller. I would go 5'8.5 for Walsh.

Check Click Here There's zillions of pictures of Walsh, MacMahon and Richardson. Dylan looks more like 5in shorter than McMahon, who btw is only 6ft 2". He's also about the same height as, or shorter than, Joely who's 5'9". In We weere Soldiers he looked just barely taller than Mel Gibson. Conclusion: I insist on him being 5'9.5" barefoot. Have Frank2 and/or Glen met this guy?

Met him at our magazine's anniversary party. Stood right next to him. We wore the same shoes. He's about 5'11". Definitely taller than Joely though.

Luxe, many times it's the other way around: i.e. Joely taller than Dylan! It depends on the camera angle and relative shot range. This more evident in stil pictures of the two together (and also next to Juian McMahon). Try browsing Getty images. I stick with my guess that Walsh is no taller than 5ft 9.5".

Walsh looks shorter, than his tv- wife Joely Richardson in -Nip 'n Tuck-, but looks a bit taller than Mel Gibson in -We Were Soldiers-. In my opinion Joely Richardson is 178cm(5'10), Walsh 176cm(5'9.25)and Gibson 175cm(5'9).. something in those lines.
