I was looking at a review of that film “God’s Not Dead 2” (not a good film), in that film he plays opposite Ray Wise. Now Ray Wise is listed on this site as being 5ft 9.5, but Metcalfe seemed to be about 2 inches taller (hard to tell with angles, but definitely taller). The Ray Wise height you have might be a prime listing (as in Ray’s shrunk a bit), but if I’m going off of Metcalfe’s height in that I’d say Wise is probably around 5ft 8 to 5ft 8.5 these days. I’d assume that Metcalfe has the better posture and youth so 5ft 9 to 5ft 10 sounds right.

JB, there are more than you think. Mario Lopez, Eric Roberts, Johnny Depp, Kirk Douglas and Wesley Snipes have all claimed 5'11" as well and are/were in that 174-175 cm range. Jason Statham and Casey Affleck were also listed 5'11" and in that same range. None were ever taller than 5'9" flat and any of them could easily be 5'8.5". Some surely are, in fact, Rob confirmed Eric Roberts at that height just 7 years after Roberts claimed 5'11". As for Jesse, 5'9" sounds about right. Not as tall as I thought. Skimming some pics now and he's got some pretty decent shoes at times and he wasn't looking that much different from Michael Douglas at a time Douglas couldn't have been taller than 5'8" since Douglas was already looking shorter than Shia Labeouf.

pic with colton haynes you can clearly see he is over one and a half inch taller, so 5'8 is accurate since colton is 5'6

Rob what makes you think he is not his claim ?
also why not 178cm ?

Editor Rob c-mo, from what I've seen in the past, I thought he was closer to 5ft 9 than 10, especially around the time of Dallas.

I think he is at least 5'9". How could a guy under 5'9" claim to be 5'11"? that's absurd.

The recent con photos from Dead Rising show him in large sneakers 5" shy of Rob Riggle and 7" south of Dennis Haysbert which seems to accord with their est heights.... suggests to me he could be 175 but any higher seems ambitious..

Rob,
Just came back across this. He definitely needs this half-inch off. Not the best picture since he's standing so far back, but here he is with Chris Hardwick, currently listed at 5'8.75", but most likely quite a bit shorter:

I still say no more than a full 5'9". Can you review this one with the other pictures I posted from a few months ago?

MD: Good Evidence picture you showed with Jesse and Colton Haynes This listing really really needs a downgrade Jesse must be under 173 in mind he is shorter then Colton Haynes who is listed if I remember correct at 173-174 and Jesse way shorter then Colton. similar footwear and angle in camera side by side. This serous need for downgrade Rob.

leonari, you have obviously not watched the new Dallas. Metcalfe looks like a dwarf against all the other main actors, even the older ones who would have naturally have lost height since their heyday. 5'8" is a pretty good guess, I would say

This is accurate . Saying this guy is 5'8" is ridiculous. He never looks short. Nor tall for that matter. Just plain average.
ROB: How about adding Josh Henderson? Since Dallas 2012 has received the green light for season 2 it would be nice to have Josh's height on the page. He and Metclaf are the 2 "new" stars on the show. Plus I'm pretty sure Josh will have a healthy career cause he is quite a good actor. He looks a strong 5'10" to me. Please look into it. Do me this favor.

he is without a doubt no where near 5-11. I was at this bar last month and i m 6ft 1 and i was surprised at how short he was. my guess is 5-9 / 5-10 tops.

same height as Matt Damon in my eyes. these 5ft 11" claims are 'crazy' if that was the case he would look 6ft 1 in shoes, which he doesn't, he scrapes 5ft 11 in shoes maybe.

He was about 2 feet away from me last night at OPUS and he was definitely around 5'9 5'10. I was 5'11 in my heels and he looked like he was 2 inches shorter.

He looked pretty short next to Tom Welling in the SV episodes he was in. If Tom is 6'3" then I would buy 5'10" for Metcalfe.

he is going to be in that upcoming crappy movie, josh tucker, joe tucker, or john .. who knows. he doesn't look like a 5'9" guy. 5'9 guys are pretty short looking. 5'11 seems correct. but lets get some more photo evidence to prove or reaffirm his height

Im 5'11.75 barefoot (6ft dead even very first thing in the morning, down to 5'11.5 at night), it's hard to admit it, but hopefully still being a teenager, I'll reach the magical 6 ft barefoot mark. Anyways, I met Jesse Metcalfe just last week , with my obsessed sister and her best friend. I was wearing flippies in the LA spring out for a stroll where we came upon Metcalfe walking on Fairfax. My sister ran up to him and tried to get an autograph and stuff with her loser friend, and I must say he was nicer than expected. He even talked some football with me and we actually talked for about 15 minutes, while he was waiting to meet a friend. I must say, however, this dude is shockingly short in comparison to his 5'11 claim. The first thing my sister said is how we "cute but so short" While that may be an exaggeration, he definitely is no taller than 5'9 as Dan has pointed outand that's pushing it. He was a little hunched over, making him looking even shorter I suppose, but he was still several inches shorter, I was close to towering over him at a shaky 6 ft myself.
