@ Sinclair - Michael is 67 now, so a peak height and a today’s height facility might be a good idea, when Rob has the time. 👍🏼
5ft9.

Rob, maybe time for a peak and current height listing?
I see a Don Johnson height situation here. Small average guy of 5’9” peak (with a chance of being slightly over) and likely 5’8.5” today. Rooker had a good few inches on Al Pacino in Sea of Love. I also felt Van Damme had the edge on Rooker in Replicant.

I use to think he was 5'9" peak and 5'8.5" today, but he was taller than Van Damme in Replicant so 5'9.25" peak and 5'8.75" today. JCVD may have always been more of a weak 5'9" himself, but just over 5'9" peak and just under today seems right for Michael.

I met him once at a comic con.
How tall does that make me?
I think he also wore boots, if I recall.

I can understand that, JTM! The parts he plays would make one think he is much taller, but tallness doesn’t come into everything. It’s mindset, and I’m extremely glad that I haven’t got the mindset of one of the characters I’ve seen him play! (Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer).
Have you seen that movie? It’s a real shocker and earns it 18 certificate hands down!
Cheers to you, JTM! 😄👍

Rooker is definitely one of the toughest, most imposing actors to stand around 5'9". He always looked like someone not to be trifled with, which is why people generally think hes a little taller.

Many Happy Returns to Michael Rooker, who is today celebrating his 65th Birthday. I remember him for his part as Henry in “Portrait of a Serial Killer”, wherein he gave a truly spine-chilling performance, but I have plenty of his other films as well.
One excellent actor!

I remember Rooker at least an inch taller than Cruise in the film as well and Cruise was probably made to look at least 5'8". A good reference is Replicant where he edges 5'9" Van Damme so I think he probably was 176 cm at one point and is now a weaker 5'9" having lost half an inch in his early 60's. He looked completely average height on screen in his prime, imo.

He's 90 pounds (or 72 at another event), just too much money.
So he's boosting his height by one inch and his weight by one hundred pounds(or more!)?

@Rampage: He wasn't taller than Sly in Cliffhanger -- I believe the opposite -- but we know Sly may have been 5'9" max, but rarely looked as short as 5'9" in films. He was probably at least as tall as Sly in bare feet, but the fact that Sly this year can still look noticeably taller than Rooker tells me Rooker has very likely dipped below 5'9" in his 60's. Still 5'8.5" minimum, though, and it's possibly he's still near enough 5'9" considering he does wear shoes that put him at a disadvantage sometimes and he doesn't have Stallone posture.

From a few away he looked about same height as a solid 5'7 guy I measured , but when I got closer I thought he was taller but still less than Reedus , but his shoes were 0.5 and he had a cap on ... Hard to say honestly , but He's not 5'10 or 5'8 flat.

Rooker is in better shape than the average man his age, but he does have loose posture nowadays and he has played a number of physical roles so it's possible he's sustained some decent injuries. That could mean either that he looks shorter than he is due to posture or that he's lost height due to the toll on his body and particularly his spine.
With Sly Stallone no more than 5'8.5" these days, I can believe Rooker is down to that as well looking at this candid shot: Click Here This is assuming Sly wore the likely 2.5" range footwear he wore to the Guardians premiere.
He looked no more than that with CM Punk quite a few years back as well as in Ali Baba's pic and Shredder didn't think he was above it. But this could be loose posture and 0.7" range footwear so I'd think 5'8.75" current and 5'9.25" peak is also quite possible.

Editor Rob half inch is possible...he's a fitter 62 year old than most guys though.
Sometimes you can hit 60 without 1mm being lost...but that is rare, usually it is a fraction, but many men won't realise they lost a fraction in their 50's unless they were being measured.

5'8.75" now is definitely possible as is 176 cm peak. But while this is only a year after the pics Rob posted of Rooker and Yeun, even with the hat and camera advantage, I see Rooker looking 174 max if CM Punk is 182 cm: Click Here Rooker does look to have thinner shoes to me, though. I see 5'8.5" here as well without considering shoes, which favor Punk and posture, which favors Rooker: Click Here This is based on the assumption their caps cancel each other out in the latter pic.

@Rob: That's from 2011, though. So a half dozen years ago already as hard as it is to believe. Rooker was only 56 then. I think you've mentioned that late 50s/early 60s range can be when height loss becomes an issue for a lot. I did just watch a Criminal Minds episode with him from about 2009ish and he gave a fairly tall impression - certainly not under 5'9" - but he doesn't always look to hold himself as well to me these days. There are some shorter appearances out there with Reedus, such as this video: Click Here I think it's pretty safe to say Rooker is clearly taller than Yeun and shorter than Reedus. I'm hoping on the off chance NY Comic Con gets Sly or Kurt for their Guardians lineup. If that happens, I'll almost surely attend and outside of someone like that, Rooker, who is confirmed, would be at the top of my list.

If you had just 1/4" more shoes and he looked closer to 5'8" than 5'9" then it convinces me even more that 5'8.5" is his current height. That's about what he looks to me anyway and Ali Baba also looked about a head taller than Rooker to me. I agree with 5'9", but as a peak height. He's 62, so a half inch loss is not unusual. I think Rob's listing for Van Damme is about right, but there have always been times he could look a weaker 5'9" or even 5'8.5". I don't remember Rooker significantly taller, though, just a bit. I'd like to see a good comparison of Michael and Kurt Russell nowadays. I believe Kurt would be taller, even without cowboy boots. I think Rooker and Stallone would be about the same height barefoot both at their peaks and today as well.

I met him and he had a baseball cap and thin shoes , like 0.5 , the shoes I had were about 0.75 . I don't know if i'd give him a flat 5'8 but he looked nowhere near 5'10 , maybe at best close to 5'9. I wouldn't have even gave him 5'9.5.
My bet is on like 5'8.75 or so.

Well, if he's still 5'9" then Sly is still pulling off at least 5'10.5", even 5'11" with him. I think he's a perfect candidate for 5'9" peak and 5'8.5" current, much like co-stars Stallone and Van Damme as well as Eric Roberts. I could get a photo with Rooker later this year, but there's only a small list of names that would get me to a convention.

That was a few years ago, right, Shredder? I think these days a 5'9" peak and 5'8.5" current listing would be good. Just like Stallone and Van Damme. MrTBlack, that's why nobody should pay attention to internet listings. Rooker himself only claimed 5'10" and he was obviously never that tall, but he is in the normal height range for an actor, particularly in tough guy roles to claim 5'10".

Sly was looking at least a couple of inches taller in a pic he posted from a Guardians of the Galaxy photoshoot Sly posted to his instagram so Sly probably had lifts, but that could suggest more 5'8.5" may be right for Rooker today. He could seem even a bit shorter than that with 182 cm CM Punk, but wasn't he a bit taller than Van Damme in Replicant back in 2001? I'd be surprised if he wasn't around 5'9" peak.

@ Shredder - If you liked the first, you will like the follow up! A different actor plays Henry, and yes, that really put me off at first, but it is every bit as good, as Henry continues to cast his influence on the feeble-minded and taking advantage of those who look after him.
It is SO worth getting hold of a copy. You'll want to see it more than once, I guarantee!

Glad somebody enjoys Henry , Portrait of a Serial Killer. I met him before btw and from about 20 feet he looked max a 5'8 guy. When I got closer I was thinking maybe at best 5'8.5 to 5'9 , but he did have 1/2 footwear which was less than most and mine , He could be 5'9 but 5'8.5 is safe and yeah at peak 5'9.5 is possible.

I got into his films a bit by mistake! A very interesting friend of mine recommended that I see this film, so I did! It was 'Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer' and his performance is spine chillingly good! Sean (my friend) was right, as usual...
I now have 7 Michael Rooker films, but this is the best! He is the main character and handles it brilliantly! He might only be of average height, but he is so scary in other ways, including manipulation, that he makes up for the lack-of-height bit fourfold!
He has bit-parts in 'Super', 'The Bone Collector', 'The Freeway Killer' (excellent film!) and played the lead figure in a horror called 'Skeleton Man' and who can forget that he was in 'The Walking Dead'?
All the sort of things that make my heart beat faster!
I reckon he is now 5ft8.5, having been 5ft9.5 at his peak.

In person I thought he was in the 5 ft 8 range , but he did have only about 1/2 footwear and a hat on which might have given me the illusion he was shorter than he really was because I've seen him in pics with people I know and celebs that Rob has and he does look more 5 ft 9. One thing for sure , he is no 5 '10 guy , he would have looked 5'9.5 ish.
5'8.75 is my guess.

Rooker is a guy who would intimidate you with his sheer muscle mass rather than his height. We also must consider that he is in his 60's and thus height lose is almost certain. Having seeing him next to 6'3" Tom Towles and 5'2" Tracy Arnold in Henry, I'd say he was 5'8.5" and 195lbs at his biggest.

Rob, why is he still listed at 5'9? Shred said he looked 5'8 and, if you look at him with Ali, he doesn't look over 5'8 too! Actually there is more difference there than in your photo with Big Anthony!!! And Michael is supposed to be an inch taller than you...
He was in an episode of Chuck and Zachary could look 5-5.5 inches taller than him! But again Zachary was in converse, so he certainly had more footwear. Is he a guy who would wear lifts? I don't know but he can look 5'9-5'10 on the screen. Under the stadio i doubt he'd be that tall, though!!!

Actually think he struggled with even the 5'9" mark in Super next to Kevin Bacon. Bacon looks 1.5 inches taller. However, Bacon can look taller than his 5'10" listing at times (i.e. close in height to Michael Fassbender in X-Men) Bacon may not be adverse to wearing larger than average footwear while acting.
At any rate few actors had me fooled into thinking that they were rather taller than they actually are than Rooker.

In lifts, he edges out Norman Reedus. He's likely a weak 5'9.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those must be huge lifts. I have met both several times and gotten pics with them. On one occasionion Rooker literally stood on his tip toes and was just as tall as Reedus when doing so. In the other pic he's noticeably shorter than Reedus even when Rooker stretched to his tallest and Reedus was relaxed.

What was he listed at before? 177cm? And what's the highest you think he could have been peak? I can believe he's dropped a cm or so in late 50's, he actually looked close to 5ft10 in the 90's, although I don't think he was ever that tall though, I suspect he was a lift wearer, and now a half-inch of height loss, and he can look 174-175 without them.

I walked past him at Minneapolis Comic Con. I heard that great, distinctive voice, and I looked up to see where it was coming from. Then I heard it again, and I had to look down to see him.
I was walking by him in the opposite direction, so I only saw him for a moment, but if I was to guess, I would say between 5'4" - 5'6" tops. I am only 5'11", and I had to look down to see him. No way he is 5'9".
Still, he was an intimidating presence!

If you look at most pictures with him and Norman Reedus. He looks a good 2 or 3 inches shorter. I'd give this guy 5'8" tops. But like Rob said, since he's near 60 it's possible he's an inch under his peak height. 5'8" wouldn't surprise me for his peak though; he didn't look very tall in Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer.

On the Walking Dead he seemed to have a very imposing height he appeared at least 6' 0" maybe 6' 1" and he wore flat shoes the whole time, he was definitely taller than 5' 10'' Rick and Daryl but shorter than the 6' 3'' Governor.

The lifts thing is only a suspicion since I didn't see him actually put them in. But he was definitely messing with his shoes when he went back to his autograph area and did seem shorter when he was there than when we were in the photo area. So it's just a theory at this point. I don't estimate him being any taller than 5'8" at the most. Even on The Walking Dead he seems pretty small. They do very well at making him into a bad ass though.

I was watching him in Slither, and he is certainly correct about his frame. He is extremely powerfully built. I would have thought he was closer to 5'11 myself. My guess is he is rounding down slightly. He could be like 179.

He looks 5'11" in movies but if he says 5'10 then I think he must be strong 5'10" (178 cm)

Was standing next to him at Shot Show. At best 5'9" in lifts. Much much smaller in person.

He looked pretty tall in The Lady Vanishes. I thought he was 6'4 or so.

I'd def. say Michael Rooker was around 5'10", maybe 5'9" but 5'10" sounds on the dime!
