Kenny Johnson's Height
6ft 1 (185.4 cm)
American actor best known for playing Curtis in TV series The Shield and Luca in S.W.A.T. His official site listed his height as 6ft 1 and weight as 190 pounds. On twitter he also said "I’m 6 ‘1." and "6 feet then some". In this convention photo I had about 1/3rd of an inch more sneaker than him.

Kenny looks precisely 6ft1. His name takes me back to the 70s, when there was a pop group called ‘Kenny’, and among the line up was the late Keith Chegwin.

184 cm is about right - maybe 6'0.75" tops. He ain't a strong 6'1".

This guy easily clears 6ft and 6ft1 is still an ok listing

184-185cm zone I think is fair. Taller than Coates, Hunnam and Perlman on SOA but a bit shorter than Jay Karnes on The Shield

It's a shame he isn't wearing lighter coloured clothing! Anyways I must say that it would be great if there was a height chart on this page and his hair sure does add height!

Can look upto 6'1, but probably slightly under. 6 feet 3/4th.

Height is a difficult thing to guess. From this photo and I can see imagine his standing/walking height would be in the 6'0.75 range possibly. It's difficult to tell of he could stretch up to 6'1 if standing for a measurement.

You're right, Powerhouse. I should watch the show to get a better idea, but I doubt he would be similar to Kim (who, btw, I think is more of a weak 6'), also because Rob met both of them and listed them one inch apart...
As for the picture, although Kenny might be standing a bit further away from the camera, it is true that he looks nowhere near 6'1 and much closer to 6', even considering his footwear disadvantage, but, as always, what Rob guessed him in person matters much more than the picture itself, to me. So if he says that he looked near enough 6'1, I'm going to trust him.

Editor Rob6ft 0.75 is a mark he may well measure too, but there are 6ft actors who claim 6ft 1 heights, I don't think Kenny is one of those guys.

@Andrea Not the best camera angles to judge, also don’t know if the ground is even. They are very close. He is definitely not a full 6’1. This isn’t what a 5’8 guy looks like next to a 6’1 guy. If he stood as tall as he could I could see him measuring 6’0 flat mid day. If Rob could put a height chart on this pic that would be cool.

A fraction below at worst. I actually did at one point think this guy was at least a strong 6ft1 when Coates was listed 6ft0½.

Powerhouse, I highly doubt Rob would give him the full 6'1 if there was even a remote chance that he could be as low as 6'0, let alone under. If Rob says that, all things considered, he looked near enough 6'1, I doubt he's under 6'1 more than a small fraction.
As for Kim Coates, I've only seen the first two seasons of SOA some years ago, so I don't know how tall they looked next to each other on the show, but from googling them, I would say Kenny looked easily taller than Kim: Click Here Click Here

I’m gonna have to disagree quite a bit, even taking footwear into account. I’d put him a hair under 6’0 flat. In any case this listing as minimum one inch off. I think 6’0 flat is solid listing. It should be noted that he was eye to eye with Kim Coates in Sons Of Anarchy and could even look slightly edged by him at times.

Agreed, no more than 184 I’d say.

Nice picture, Rob!!! Is he really a big 6'1 guy in person, though? I remember watching a few episodes of The Shield, I thought he was over 6', but maybe not quite the full 6'1...

Editor RobKenny in person that day seemed comfortably over 6ft, my thought was around 6ft 1/2 inch range, but he had less sneaker, so I don't think he's much less than his claim.

Kenny edged out Kim Coates, Ron Perlman & Charlie Hunnam in pretty much every scene on Sons of Anarchy. Mainly looking at the difference between him with Hunnam/Coates; the latter are weak 6ft guys (strong 182's/weak 183's) while Kenny's a weak 6'1 (strong 184/weak 185). 2-2.5 cm difference max I'd say.

Looks heavier than 190lbs. I'd say near 210lbs. He's a pretty buff guy

It's possible that at worst he might fall into 6ft0½-6ft0¾ range...although he gave a solid 6ft1 impression on SOA. Taller than Kim Coates, Hunnam and Perlman. But was he really just marginally shorter than Jay Karnes? I saw at least 1in there and then some.....but Jay might actually be 6ft2.

Rob, could a fraction under 6ft1 be closer for Ken?

Editor Rob not looked at him in a while, but if you see enough of him, maybe that mark might make sense.

Actually Andrea might have a point. Especially if Jay Karnes is only 6ft1½

Andrea, are you seriously arguing that he doesn't even look 6 ft now? That's a joke...

I've seen a bit of this guy in different shows and he doesn't really give me the impression of being a full 6'1".

Rob, could you downgrade him to at least 6'0.5 or i must put the scene with Tom Welling? Even 6' is arguable with him!

187-188 would make Tom Welling around 6'5 and Michael Chiklis over 5'8!

Rob, could he be more 6'-6'0.5? I'm not sure he's a big 6'1, he doesnt' look 6 inches taller than Chiklis in The Shield and also next to Tom Welling he did look more than 2 inches shorter to be fair...

Rob, any chance of giving Kim Coates an upgrade?
He easily looks the same height is this guy and Tommy Flanigan on SOA.

I was very surprised with kenny's height.Walton Goggins seems taller in a pic edit by a guy name Dufresne in your site(goggins page).How is this possible Rob?I mean they wear the same footwear and they were both in an even ground.
