@Bobby
You do have a point about many people tending to overestimate hat heights. With that being said though, he looks nowhere near 182cm and struggles to look his full 5'11" listing. More like 5'10.75"

Rob the blue shirt matches perfectly the colour of your eyes,between why does this guy look taller than 180 at first glance he looks 6foot maybe his cap makes him appear taller

Editor RobI don't think he looks over 5ft 11 there...certainly in person he was shorter than john barrowman when they were talking together..

I'm not seeing a full 5'11'' for him. He looks like he might fall a hair or so under it in this picture. I'd say 5'10 7/8ths'' would be a better listing.

Now this is how a 3 inch height difference should look. 5'11 is spot on here based on this photo.

The hat adds nothing, I've worn hats like that before, baseball caps fit onto a person's head, it's like wearing a skin over your head. So, this guy looks 3 inches taller than Rob. Actually, I'd even give him 182cm.

Editor Rob roughly same, in person I believe right around 5ft 11 is what he looks, you can see him with 6ft 2 women, who used to have a t-shirt at cons. She's always in sneakers, and not standing as tall as she could...

Well, Rob, remember he looked taller than 5'11.5 Saveus, so maybe ferris is not that wrong :)
So, he basically looks more 179 in these photos? I would have said he was near enough 5'11 to be fair... Do you think he'd be similar to a Misha Collins if measured? And Michael Rosenbaum would edge them out?

Editor Rob well around 5ft 11 is ok for him as that is typically what he looked in Torchwood.
I believe Michael could look a solid enough 5ft 11, both I think have reasonably above average heads.
Guys like Jon Bernthal, Chris Barrie looked typical 5ft 11 to me, gareth didn't look more than that.
But I guess until you measure someone you can't say anything as a certainty, there is always a chance of being above/below a listing, so we can't dismiss possibilities.
Well apart from G being under 5ft 7, that's a certainty...although he is now claiming people see him as taller like he is 5ft 9 or even 10 to people...

@EditorRob,
hey Rob, since u upgraded Burn Gorman up to 5'9". I think Gareth looks more than just 2 inches taller than Burn. he looks 181 in those pics next to u and jenny. he looks the same height as Michael Rosenbaum in those pics with u. so if Michael Rosenbaum gets a 181 listing, then why not Gareth? could 181 b possible 4 him?

Editor Rob He looked roughly 5ft 11 the times I seen him.
in any case...for a comparison: Click Here
Jenny on stadiometer base in thin slippers so is basically 5ft 8.
I reversed the bar so I'm standing on other side with head touching 5ft 11.
Gareth's hair looked to me close to an inch in thickness (you can see beside the flatter style it is at least a half inch thicker, and the flatter style still gives a good 0.3 inch).

he looks between 5'11-6'0 in the pics and if he had the same footware could even look 6ft?
Could it be though he has hair advantag? Anyway he looks taller than 180cm in these pictures.
would you agree rob?

Why block out Gareth's face? If you do not wish to reveal the identity of someone, have that person wear a mask, or glasses with thick eye brows and moustache.

Finally there's a good estimate! When I looked in the picture, I thought people are going to write foolish heights like 6"5, which is definitely not Gareth. Do you guys even know how tall 6"5 is? That's like a giant! If you see anyone like 6"5, you will be like, OH MY GOD! LOOK AT THAT HUGE GUY! On this site, many people put 5"11-type heights like 6"5.
Rob, I'm not talking about you, because you're excellent at measuring heights. I don't know how you do it...

Actually, if we're taking John Barrowman as the standard (has it been confirmed that he's 6'0"?), Gareth David-Lloyd is slightly shorter. Maybe less than an inch. In this screenshot -- Click Here -- you can see that Barrowman is a wee bit taller, and he's not even standing up straight.
So either Barrowman is around 6'1", or Lloyd is around 5'11".

At the Telford Convention Q&A, GDL said he was exactly 6 feet tall. When he stands next to John Barrowman, you can see that the two are extremely close in height.
Or take this screencap (you can't get much closer than this):

The tops of their heads are level.
