⭐ I'm watching the same Medium episode as mentioned earlier today and Eric's Sonny Troyer is even more of a stinker than I implied, if that's possible. He uses the plane crash, which kills two people, to divert attention from his prison escape. As I said, a real rotter!
So the crash Allison and Troyer dreamt about is unpreventable. 😢

Well, we did get a brief chance to compare him to Patricia Arquette and next to her 5ft1.5, he looked huge. He was 45 back then, (I just checked out his date of birth), and will be turning 60 this September, so there is a chance of a small loss.
Even so, I'll give him a flat 5ft11 until I find out otherwise.

Medium Season 3, Episode 14
I'm watching Eric playing Sonny Troyer in the above episode of Medium. He is playing an imprisoned murderer, serving at least two life sentences for the murder of helpless women, aided by the same 'gift' as Allison has, only he uses his for evil purposes.
OMGoodness! He's just phoned Allison, having doubtless dreamt of her private home number. He's having the same dreams as Allison and mentioned over the phone two women in peril, one of whom gets into a lift alone and another who falls out of a tree while trying to rescue her cat. Will Allison get to them first? I think the woman in the lift, who's a Mum, has already become his victim, but with any luck, Allison will do her best to save whomsoever she can.
There's also a plane crash on the horizon for the psychic lady to prevent. Troyer knows about this as well.
Gone is Eric's long 'Pulp Fiction' hair; this time Eric plays someone worse than a hippie drug dealer.
There are 21 minutes left of this episode and I hope to get the chance to see Eric stand with one of the regulars to see if he's lost any height, which I very much doubt! Back later....

Interesting you mention Hotz from Kenny Vs Spenny, Testees. In most episodes of KvS he wore thin soled sneakers maybe 1.5cm .5-.6”. Stoltz could have been wearing an insole or a had a small amount of lift type shoe. Hotz in the early episodes looks quite lanky and can believably look 5’11”-6’. Then in the latter shows he looks shorter, possibly days without sleep, crazy filming times. Spencer Rice is said to be 191cm 6’3” he is probably in fact 190cm 6’2.75” which is practically 6’3”. Based on that Kenny at the beginning of the show looks 3.5-4” less than Spenny. About 181cm near the start of the show and 179cm at the end.

hey just wondering if you would ever do one for Kenny Hotz.. here he is with Stoltz at 28:25. He claims 5'11 but it seems hes an inch shorter than Stoltz at least. Let me know what you think Kenny Hotz from show Kenny vs Spenny

I liked his long, red hair in 'Pulp Fiction'. Eric gave an excellent and moving performance in 'Mask', alongside Cher. That was the first time I saw him act. 🎭
Looks around the five eleven mark in 'Pulp Fiction', possibly even more, which isn't the case in the above picture!

If Travolta was a fraction over 6ft then this guy could have been a weak 5ft11

Yeah 5'11 is accurate he looked it in anaconda
Ted said on 21/Oct/14
@wda - Marc Maron is now listed as being 5'8 1/2" elsewhere. Which does seem right.
Stolz seems a bit taller than that.
wda said on 13/Aug/13
You do a search for Marc Maron and his listed height is 5'11". Check out the photo Maron took with Ben Stiller and he's got about 4-5 inches on Stiller.
mcfan said on 1/Jun/09
Wow! I really only thought he was 5'9.5 maybe. I'm surprised.

Travolta looked 3-4 inches taller than Stoltz.
anonymous said on 23/Jul/08
He's between 5-8 and 5-9. He's hysterical.
Viper said on 6/Feb/08
This looks exactly right. Looks to be a 5-10 1/2 - 5-11 guy.
glenn said on 5/Feb/08
i have this guy.horrendous posture and slouched or hunched over in my photo.5-11 is possible.5-10 for sure.

In "Naked in New York," Stoltz looks to be 4 inches shorter than 6'2'' Timothy Dalton, in a scene in which the two are standing next to each other on a level surface. Stoltz surely didn't look close to 5'11'' in "Fast Times" either, appearing rather diminutive in that film with Sean Penn. I would say he is no more than 5'10'' even. His body proportionality suggests this height, which is not short, but sometimes he looks small.

Just watched "2 Days in the Valley". He is in this movie with Jeff Daniels (6'3"), and James Spader (5'9-5'10"ish). In one scene, He gets in a fight with Jeff Daniel's character and they stare each other down...he looks at LEAST a good 4 or 5 inches shorter than Daniels. I'd say this guy is around 5'11" at best.

Travolta is over 6'. He is NOT short.
However, I have heard through first hand accounts that Eric Stolz is not that tall. He is a bit taller than Sean Penn (5'7") in "Fast Times", yet is significantly shorter than Anthony Edwards (6'2") when they are in a wide shot and you can see them all from head to toe. I would estimate Eric Stolz to be about 5'9" to 5'10".
Also, seeing people on screen in tight "two shots" is not a good measure of their true height as shorter actors often stand on "apple boxes" so they will be in frame.
It's only a good guestimate if you can see them in a wide shot "head to toe", or in photos in a public setting...like at an awards show.

travolta is not 6'2... his maximum was at 184... stoltz is about 5'11.5
Anonymous said on 12/Sep/06
In PULP FICTION you can see him standing next to John Travolta,and they *look* about the same height..and Travolta's supposed to be 6'2"...so I think he is at least 5'11". Either that or one of his legs is shorter than the other one,umm...would explain why he walks kind of awkward and weird.

The guy is 5'8 i saw him in person and spoke with him. I'm 5'10 and towered over him.

A whole lot of kissing goes on in Hollyweird:
Click HereRichard Dreyfuss looks like he's in love.
I once saw Stoltz in person and he looked to be about 5'10" or slightly under.
sidewinder said on 28/Apr/06
just saw keys to tulsa, this guy is like 5'8 and a half MAX
there is no way he is almost 6 feet
james spader had more than an inch on him. plus he looks short in all his movies
Editor Rob
I would agree to an extent...I will relook at this guy again, sometimes he can look short, other times in many pics looks 5ft 11-11.5 to me

"I was too tall. Eric [Stoltz] was short" - Pam Grier on not getting a role in a film. Strange...she's just done a movie with Ja Rule and he's not looking that short from the clips of it I've seen ;)
