Rob, he and Perlman looking close in height in some premiere pics. Both actors are in a film that looks really interesting- Day of the Fight. Great cast.
Could we settle on near 5ft 11 for Pitt?

What an incredible actor to make me hate him so much in the second season of Hannibal!
Feeding poor Will’s dogs slices from his face was the Pitts, man! Yuck and double yuck! I nearly passed out!

I guess posture is what made him look shorter he looked 5'9ish in Rob the mob never looked tall but that was probably his posture 5'10.5 it is.

Saw him in funny games, good acting from him but a disappointing film. He looked a solid 5'10 in it. 5'10.5 seems likely or he's 5'10.25 at worst.

5ft 10.75in,Rob? Could be near enough 5-11, hence the tallish impression.

Ahh, good pics. Would near 180cm be a decent compromise then for him? Like 5-11 or maybe he's 5-10.75?

Rob, are you sure he isn't 5ft 11 - I know an actor who worked alongside Pitt in 'Ghost in the Shell' and he said he appeared near 6ft. I think Michael could honestly be right around 180cm. Upgrade, Rob?

Between the name and their similar stature, I can't help but think of this guy as bizzaro Brad Pitt, whereas Brad is one Hollywood's most respected, Michael is far more intense, somehow coming off as vaguely sordid and disreputable and very anti-establishmdnt.

Rob, is a strong 6ft for Funny Games director Michael Haneke in younger years possible?

In the photo with Michael Pitt he was 65, so I don't think he lost that much height by that age.

I watched Michael the other night in the film 'Bully', and as he was 20 when he made that film, in 2001, it's highly likely that he'll have been fully grown. I thought he looked anything from 5ft10.5-5ft10.75.
Although the film addresses a serious subject, it does have some much-needed light-hearted comedy moments. One was seeing Michael's character, Donny, lying down with pegs on his nipples! Now that he's that much older, perhaps he'll be able to afford the real nipple clamps, but one has to make do with substitutes when one's a student! 😉
Michael also sings and plays the guitar and has done modelling.
He gets 5ft10.5 today. 😁👍🎸

@ Sandy Cowell - Hi mate!
It's a very good idea to watch films which make you laugh and finding actors and actresses who typically this is a good thing because you will then be prompted to look out for any films that they star in, adding humour to films and soap operas always gets a 👍 from me! There are several reasons why people laugh and humour comes in more than one form, it is always good to laugh about things as much as possible, it sets you up for a great day and is good for health and for helping us combat life's hardships!
I see what you mean in laughing in awe at this incident! I notice that you are really into the "Boardwalk Empire" at the moment!
Cheers!

@ Sandy Cowell
He always has to put new words in to make things amusing, in a rude way! He thinks he's so big, doesn't he? Thanks for telling me this! Ha ha!
Laotop!
I agree with the average vote, in that Michael Pitt is 5'10" - 5'10.25"!

Hey, Rob! I just went along to the catagories and found one for 'Boardwalk Empire'!
I needed my memory jogging that Michael Pitt was in it! A seriously intriguing actor, who was super-creepy in the series 'Hannibal', this is my final bit of convincing that I am to fetch my copy of the first series of 'Boardwalk Empire' from upstairs - any give it a go!
What with the brilliant Steve Buscemi AND petite Scottish 'Trainspotting' actress Kelly MacDonald also starring, I think I'm in for a treat!
So you see Rob, this website has more uses than meets the eye, and offers so many exciting ideas for us in how we can observe our favourite stars and take in their heights!
This morning, I shall go with 5ft10.5 for Michael!

Editor RobIn an ideal world I'd have more categories done, but it's something that gets put at the back of the queue due to other more pressing tasks :)

I am 181 cm, so 5'11.25, and I met michael Pitt at a bar and he was a tad bit shorter than me, like half an inch, so like a strong 5'10.

This actor gave an extraordinary performance in the roles I've seen him in so far! What a disturbingly creepy part did he play in Funny Games? A young man who, with his chum, and clearly from an advantaged background, thinking he has the right to go round to people's summerhouses, terrorise them and eventually do away with them as if their lives are meaningless. I know this was a remake, but I thought it was much better than the original German one.
I would have guessed Michael's height to be under 6ft, but not by as much as 1 1/2 inches. I would have given him 5ft11 or just over. I didn't think he'd be small.
I have waiting upstairs the series 'Boardwalk Empire' and it will be interesting if his part is anywhere as evil as the one he plays in the series 'Hannibal'.
I've seen the actor in the non-scary, but adult film 'The Dreamers' but I didn't take in his performance the one time I saw M. Night Shyamalan's 'The Village' because I was not yet interested in him. I am now though, and then some...

Consistently looked about 3-4" taller than 5'6" Eva Green in The Dreamers... and a lot of the scenes were nude ones, so no footwear diff.
M. Pitt is 5'9"-ish, 5'10" at the very most.

Rarely disagree with the listings on this site, but this just seems too low to me here. I would have thought Pitt was more of a strong 5'11".

Looks about an inch taller then buscemi in boardwalk empire. But Buscemi looks 1.78m there, if not taller - so Pitt looks about 1.82m to me. 1.81m - 1.83m ist my bet.

Buscemi is not a genuine 5'9! He is 5'8...possibly 5'8.5" in the morning but I doubt it.

He does look as the listed height. He might look taller due to his slim frame but next to a genuine 5'9 Buscemi, Pitt looks 179cm.
