no rampage it was clearly more than 1 inch beetween them. I now you many times see people taller then many of us others but its clar it was minimum 3 cm beetween them and possible 4. If matthew is 188 then this guy is almost this height maybe 184,5 on a really good day. But fox is probably 187,5 and that makes this guy 184 on a good day. that is what he usually look. 183,8 ish vs 187,5 ish and Perry looked maybe 3,5-4 taller than Matthew, that makes him 191,5 ( but we al know he is around 6´4 in reality) I really think fox could be 188 half of the time.

can look this range somtimes but i think 184 listing was better people guess matthew fox 186-87 these days and he looks atleast 3,5 cm taller than this guy on every photo that would make him about 183. if he is 185 then matthew fox is slightly over 188. the best listings would be matthew fox 6´1 3/4 and burns 6 feet halv inch

Editor Rob I ain't as sure on Ed, I watched a couple of movies and overall I thought almost 6ft 1 was believable when he stood well.

Seems to edge out Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. One of those guys who I have a feeling I wouldn't get on with in person. Don't like his accent either, sorry G.
That's the vibe I get from him too. I think it could just be his face or expressions.

@Cole Actually a strong 5'7"(171-72). Its not the worst position to be in but i dream of being 175-76. I have had problem with girls in 174-75 range though. But the girls from 161-168 are imo least problematic. 5'2" and below are very choosy.

@Realist: Yeah. Man that's young for a war film, hope it was your first! About 5'7 ain't that bad. I kinda wish I could relive my 5'7 years (around age 13). Those were simpler times as far as getting girls goes. I've never been rejected for being "too short" myself (not that I should as I'm 5'11), but I've witnessed a few mates falling victim to some horrbile rejections purely for being 5'7. I hope this hasn't happened to you!

@cole 94 born huh. I am 96, i watched SPR in 2007, i was 11. Reiben was the first character whose name i could remember. He and the coward Upham were the only ones to survive. I thought i was gonna become Reibben when i grow up. Turns out i am more like Dr.Wade in height and structure :(

@Realist: Yeah I agree, but this far he's spent his life being more than just an actor. He's written, produced and directed a bunch of stuff too. Shame it's mostly just romantic comedy/drama he's been in. I think he's got what it takes to play better, more complex roles in dark and gritty films - that gets recognized. I was only 4 when Saving Private Ryan came out, but when I watched it for the first time about 12 years later, I thought Burns did a good job with his role, and I remember checking to see if he'd been in any other good films after SPR - he hadn't, and to this day he still hasn't. On the bright side though he's got age on his side. I mean look at Christoph Waltz - 5/6 years ago nobody really knew who he was - then Tarantino picked him up for Inglorious Basterds - a role which Waltz played brilliantly, then Django which he was equally brilliant in.
I haven't seen 'Alex Cross' yet, is it worth seeing? I'm kinda put off by the 5.1 rating on a certain movie-site, but the trailer had me a little intrigued. I'm done wasting my time on ****ty movies...

One guy i'd die to look like. He is awesome. Ideal body, face, decent actor, hell i even like his husky voice. Underrated, he could have succeeded much more than what he has achieved.

Have looked a bit more at him now, 6'1 might not look as far off as I initially thought, might actually be spot on. He has a tendency to slouch so looses some height from that in photos with Chace Crawford (who I personally think is 177-178 rather than 179 cm).

Just saw a pic of him an Chace Crawford in the same exact footwear, blue trackshoes. If Chace is 5'10, Ed looks 6'0.5 at least. Might be a bit distorted, so I will look for further evidence.

Hew, I saw The Fitzgerald Family Christmas today. He seemed to be nocticeably shorther than Ed Lauter, who is in his 70's now and whose peak height was probably 6'1" or 6 1.5". Based on all his work, I would put Burns at a dead on 6' or 6' 0.5" at most. I agree with you he does look too short to be a full 6'1" when he appears with with 6'3 or 6'4" actors such as Matt Lillard.

Rob what have you seen of him to think 6'1 flat? The most I see him at is 6ft. Mostly he looks much too short next to 6'3/4-guys to be the full 6'1 imo. Not 100% sure about this guy, have a feeling he's between 5'11 and 6ft.

After watching "The Groomsmen" on televison, I believe that Ed Burns is probably 6'0" instead of 6'1". Matthew Lillard does appear to be substantially taller than Burns , definitely 3-4 inches taller. Rob probably has Lillard pegged just right at 6'3.5" . Unless Lillard is 6'5" or just under, I don't see Burns being a full 6'1".

Hey Glenn, how tall would you say Burns was when you met him? In the pic I posted below he looks a good 1.5-2 inches shorter then Chris Martin, who when I met was an easy 2 inches taller then me(5ft11.75 in the AM, 5ft11.25 at night).

I just saw a pic of Burns walking in NYC with Chris Martin(6ft1.25) from Coldplay. Burns is looking a good 1.5-2 inches shorter than Martin in this pic, so the 6ft1 listing is looking very questionable. I met Martin, and he was a good 2 inches taller than me, and I'm near 6ft out of bed and 5ft11.25 by the evening. With the shoes I was wearing that day I was probabaly around 6ft0.5 or so. I'm seriously thinking Burns is not a full 6ft anymore! Especially after seeing him in The Groomsmen, where he was dwarfed by Matthew Lillard(6ft3.5) by an easy 4 inches.
