Brad says on 4/Jan/12
~6'8. Probably a little less though.
Trav says on 20/Dec/11
6'8 he tall enough Libertariandude says on 15/Dec/11
Bear in mind, guessing people's heights just by shows and movies is tricky, since they are quite adept at camera work to make people look taller or shorter (I think it's legitimate, if it's done for artistic reasons). So while it's true Garrett looked just some 10 cm taller than Romano in Raymond, I guess that's due to clever camera angles and maybe even some lifts. Most people who have met Garrett agree he is a solid 203 or 204 cm. Silent d says on 16/Nov/11
6 foot 8. Never doubted it. All the family members are tall except for the girls, they are tiny. I think they'll make him look tall but not freakishly tall but they always call him giant and bigfoot. Kent says on 15/Nov/11
I am now second guessing myself. I have analyzed the heights of the actors on many "Raymond" episodes - sometimes when they are in bare feet or socks - and I just cannot see any way that Brad Garrett can be 6'8. The best I can see is he's probably 6'6 and gains height with his footwear. If he was truly a barefoot 6'8 he would completely dwarf most of the actors on that show when wearing shoes, when he'd likely be 6'9. Shaun says on 31/Oct/11
If Garret is 6'5'75 LAN Jiao you're 6'3" tops mate. LAN Jiao says on 26/Oct/11
Brad next to 5'11 hugh grant look nothing over 2metre and as lowest as 6'5.75 , he is 6'6-3/4 Kent says on 21/Oct/11
Shaun, I agree, I don't see a 6.5-inch height difference between Garrett and Romano, and both men seemingly have honestly stated their heights. This leads me to believe that the directors of ELR compensated a bit for the extreme height differences of the actors. There's not much they can do about Garrett, but I think they gave Romano "lifts" at times. Especially since the difference between them seems to vary from episode to episode. Shaun says on 21/Oct/11
Oh well I thought Romano was 189-190cm.. If he's just 187cm than Garrett doesn't really look over 6'7" in comparison. Rob are you sure Romano is as low as 6'1.5"? I always believed his 6'2.5" listing. Shaun says on 21/Oct/11
6'8.25" looks like his legit height to me. I mean being taller than virtually all men on the planet if anything he'd have reason to downgrade, not upgrade. Romano is nearer 6'3" than 6'2". george555 says on 9/Oct/11
Garrett looks in the 6'9-6'9.5 range with shoes-I think it's just his posture which makes him look a few inches shorter. The guy is huge! Maxwell says on 5/Oct/11
I'm 6'6". I saw Garett in Vegas two years ago. I was directly in front of him for a moment, said "Hi" etc. (he was very cool) and had to look up a little at him. To those of you saying he's 6'6", he's definitely taller than that by at least an inch or two since I was looking up a bit. LAN Jiao says on 4/Oct/11
I have a feeling he shrink 4cm a day. He measure morning 8-9am at 203cm then shrink down lowest 200cm evening and walk like a 6'6 guy by losing his posture from noon ANDREA[ITA] says on 30/Sep/11
Rob, how do you explain he looks only max 5 inches taller than Ray Romano? Let's say Romano is really 6ft2, he looks max 6ft7, most of the time 4 inches taller! And it seems he doesnt slouch too much!
[Editor Rob: maybe he just looks a guy who could be an inch smaller but when you measure him he gets near 6ft 8?] HeightExpert says on 28/Sep/11
he's looks 6'8-6'9...he is a giant! graceclarice says on 28/Sep/11
OMG!! A real giant!! ANDREA[ITA] says on 22/Sep/11
Never looked more than 6'6 to me! Maybe it's his posture... Dunno! C says on 26/Aug/11
It's true there are scenes where Brad doesn't look that much taller than Ray. However, there are also a fair share of scenes where Brad looks ridiculously huge compared to Ray, especially in the earlier episodes. I think they improved camera work (to cover the disparity) in the later years - either that or Brad got better at slouching.
And for those who want to underestimate Ray's height, take a look at his page and the true height stick he measured against. Terry Bradshaw was also on his show and there wasn't much difference in their height. Terryman says on 18/Aug/11
Rob a flat 6'8 is a better estimate 5\'8.76786 says on 18/Aug/11
To KW: Maybe Ray was using elevators next to Brad? He definitely had footwear advntage so it's more like 5 inches of difference between them, still Brad looks unusually short next to Ray. 5\'8.76786 says on 18/Aug/11
To Shaun: in the vid you posted: Click Here it at 0:05, there you can see the real 6+ inches Brad has over Ray. Next scene you only see 4 inches thaks to the clever camera work, of course. James says on 17/Aug/11
Can look 6'7 range but his posture must be horrible at times. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 14/Aug/11
Can look 6ft7 range with 187cm Ray Romano Anton :) says on 5/Aug/11
He is ****ing huge i mean im not short (189 cm 6foot2/5) but he is a sky scrapper! Eli says on 29/Jul/11
Just ran into him here in Vegas... definitely 6 ft. 8 .... he slouches tho! D*mn! wish i took a picture, if only the camera on my phone was working!!!! aaargh!!! stood right next to him and said hello at Hugo Boss Las Vegas hotel at the strip... Big Mike says on 14/Jul/11
Yea at times he appears to be a lil bit shorter than 6ft8 and when up with Ray he looks at times 4 or 5 inches taller than him but when you see him in real life he's def 6ft8 James says on 6/Jul/11
He was taller than Penn Jillete but i don't think Penn is over 198cm these days. d wade says on 1/Jul/11
no way that he is 204cm he looksa more like 6,7 James says on 29/Jun/11
Yeah LOL he is freaking huge. Sweep The Leg says on 26/Jun/11
The guy is a giant James says on 22/Jun/11
Its probably just his posture making him look shorter than he really ---- says on 22/Jun/11
look I'm a solid Six feet tall and I saw him at the mall and he looked at the very least a good 8 inches taller I would not put 6' 8" past him James says on 8/Jun/11
he's a very big man thats for sure but to me he does not look 6'8. Cranberries says on 8/Jun/11
I dunno, man... next to everyone, he looks under 6'7". 6'6.5" maybe? Is there ANY picture where he looks a towering 6'8"? James says on 22/May/11
He probably a lot of the time appears 6'6 on Everybody Loves Raymond cause of his bad posture and rarely ever stands straight. Jason says on 22/May/11
He looks about an inch and half taller than Penn Jilette here: Click Here Shaun says on 10/May/11

Pause at 6:16. IMagine that's one of the room doors in your house . Measure it. He looks inches taller than it in footwear, he's got to be somewhere between 6'9" and 6'10" in shoes. Shaun says on 10/May/11
Strange thing though is he can look 6'6" tops. See Click Here OK he comes through the door and does look 6'9"ish in footwear being about an inch taller than door frame but then compared to Romano looks 3-4 inches taller NOT 6 inches. Shaun says on 10/May/11
C says on 5/Mar/11
On another note, I posted a while back that Raymond's door height can be estimated because Kareem Abdul Jabbar was on the show and walked under the door, which ended up eventually implying Brad is 6'9+ in shoes. I will try to see if I can find that again.
Yeah you're right. Kareem is 7'1". 6 and where he comes on the door in Raymond's house and where Garrett comes on the door in the house points to Brad Garrett being around 6'9.5" in footwear. He's a legit 6'8" and change for sure. Vegas says on 6/May/11
garrett and donald sutherland (age 69) in jan 2006 Click Here Josh says on 5/May/11
Nope he is 6'8 im 6'8 met him at Dennys were about the same Mathew says on 5/May/11
Romano is 6'1.5" - 6'1.75", Garrett was always in the 6'8" range he might have shrunk to 6'7" by now though. Vegas says on 30/Apr/11
123 says on 26/Apr/11
this 6'8.5 listing is a joke, 6'5 and not a millimeter more for garret
_____________
do you just go around and downgrade these guys for a laugh or something, garrett was taller than penn jillette, jillette was taller than 6'5.5 barefoot measured nfl star jason taylor KW says on 29/Apr/11
Garrett only has 4 inches max on Romano in this pic, so I'd say he's no taller than 6'6".
Click Here jake says on 14/Apr/11
204 cm..... compared to my 181-182 cm. Kent says on 10/Apr/11
I said "aimed down" when I meant to say "aimed up." Sorry. Kent says on 8/Apr/11
Garrett is so tall that when he appeared on "Seinfeld" next to Jerry Seinfeld, they composed a special camera angle to capture them both in the frame (their height difference was about 9 inches?). You will notice the camera is oddly aimed down at Seinfeld - not something they normally did on that show.
Ray Romano is closer to Garrett's height, and with lifts might appear even closer. Matt says on 2/Apr/11
this guy wouldnt even that look short with yao ming, probably up to his chin Davy Jones says on 24/Mar/11
"Rob could he be 6'7.5? cause he barely ducks when he goes through the doors. The door frames are 6'8 1/2. They say its standard of 6'8 but they are really over by half an inch or so, take a tape measure and measure a door frame and one will see so. So with his shoes he would be 6'8 and half tops which is why he almost hits the top. So is it very likely he is in the 6'7 range??"
Not all doorframes are the same height. James says on 17/Mar/11
Most of the time he does not appear 6'8 on Everybody Loves Raymond.
I must point out that there is something about Brads build even though he looks like quite a big boned guy he does not have massive broad shoulders or a huge head which always gives the illusion of more height. Candyman says on 16/Mar/11
Like Vegas said, doors can come in all shapes and sizes. Im sure that the set was accomodated to make the rather tall cast of Everybody Loves Raymond, appear less awkward. avi says on 9/Mar/11

[Editor Rob: maybe a guy his size walks lower than he measures, kind of slouches in his back.] James says on 6/Mar/11
Hmmmmm well he does not look 6.5 inches taller than 6'2 Ray Romano. rob says on 5/Mar/11
Rob You should add his quote on Raymond- He said I'm 6'8 and a half but I can schlump to 6'5- It was Model episode.
This Guy is a giant, clearly very tall, I woud say 6'8- 6'8.5 seems fine for him. C says on 5/Mar/11
James, good point. It's true that Kevin Nealon may be under 6'4" now. Brad is also nearly 51, so he may have shrunk a little more since the Raymond days too. I do sometimes see odd pictures where he looks shorter than 6'8", but I consider these anamolies because there is just way too many scenes and pictures I've seen where he's 6'8"+. It wouldn't make sense that he would ever wear lifts to go from 6'6" to 6'8" in these pics, but I can't prove it. Just using logical sense because of all the 6'8" evidence.
On another note, I posted a while back that Raymond's door height can be estimated because Kareem Abdul Jabbar was on the show and walked under the door, which ended up eventually implying Brad is 6'9+ in shoes. I will try to see if I can find that again. James says on 14/Feb/11
Well whenever i see this guy on tv and in photos he does not look as big as 6'8 but that could have something to do with his posture? Hard to believe he is this BIG though.
oh yeah by the way c you do realise kevin nealon is 57 years old so he could very well be 6'3 1/2 by now. i saw the pic you are reffering to as well and yeah i would agree 204cm does seem very accurate for brad. David says on 12/Feb/11
I've seen him in person. I'm 6'4 and thought we were about the same height. C says on 8/Feb/11
It amazes me to see how many people think he's in the 6'6" range - or even 6'7". Comparing him to "stage" door frames, etc. can be an estimate, but is in no way conclusive. However, I have watched every Raymond episode and if you catch him standing straight near a door frame, he is clearly taller. Also, seeing him with folks 8-12" shorter cannot prove much. Why? Because everytime I see Brad with a tall guy, he completely owns them. Kevin Nealon, a legit 6'4", was on Til Death. He was nowhere near Brad's height. I'd say the gap was 4" absolute minimum. Brad was also 2" minimum taller than 6'6" Penn Jilette. The same thing goes for supposed 6'9" Phil Gordon - he was at least 1-2" taller. He's just not going to show he's a giant compared to normal people, and stand up super straight. Once he is with a tall person, he has better posture where you can see his real height. Google those comparisons to see the pictures with those folks. I'll try to look up more comparisons of him with 6'4"+ people for those who still don't believe he's a legit 6'8". James says on 7/Jan/11
Legend if you ask me Brad Garrett looks 6'6.5-6'7 range in Everybody Loves Raymond. Is that bad posture though????
Anyway it could be camera angle trickery to make him not look gigantic in comparison to other members of the cast but whenever i watch everybody loves raymond i just cannot see 6'8. I think he should at least be downgraded back to 203cm because no way is brad garrett looking 6.6.5 inches taller than 188cm Ray Romano. Legend says on 4/Jan/11
he's 6'7.5 James says on 29/Dec/10
rob do you think brad garrets posure makes him look 6'6 at times?
[Editor Rob: only if he's really bending down, I think ] Ed Kline says on 16/Dec/10
James, he ( Garrett) is distinctly taller( at least an inch and a half) than Poker pro Phil Gordon. Gordon is billed at 6'9, though he looks like he's realy about 6'7 compared to 6'5 Howard Lederer, and 6'4.5 Phil Hellmuth. I've met Lederer, and he's a legit 6'5 maybe even 6'5.5. James says on 5/Dec/10
I think him being estimated at a hair over 6'8 was a morning measurment.
Anyway I think he peaked at 6'7.5 and today comes in at 6'6.75 inches perhaps? All the hunching and having to bend down etc must have made him loose a bit of height. Vegas says on 2/Dec/10
ben; doors come in all shapes and sizes, i wish people on here would realise this, here is a good example, will ferrell is ~6'3 and look at him next to the doorframe in this scene Click Here Ben says on 1/Dec/10
I call Bull****! The standard American door frame has a clearance of just under 6' 8". On Raymond, "Robert" passes easily under all the door frames with his shoes on. Unless they've altered all the doors and door frames on the set to make him seem shorter (which I doubt, because part of his character is that he towers over all the other people in the show) he is 6'6" with his shoes on. Draco says on 8/Nov/10
I figured Brad to be 6ft 7.75in tops. I am getting lax. btw Matt Damon = 5'2" goof rons. anonymous says on 5/Nov/10
He looks 6'7'' max on everybody loves raymond. |
