Yeah 5'11 is realistic for this guy. He is not 6'0 folks. If anything 5'11.25 early morning.

Between 5ft 11 and 11.25 - him and Drew Van Acker would be very close.

I think he could be a weak 6 feet, at least in his younger years. In The Crush, he didn't look much shorter than 6'1'' Kurtwood Smith. The height difference between the two actors was 1 to 2 inches in that film.

in this photo he looks almost 180 that means he is a little over 180 with the same footwear. i can never see this guy under 180 and never over 181,5 as usual i take the middle. i think he is about 180,7

I wouldn’t go below 5ft11 and as much as 181cm is arguable. 6ft is a stretch though (except maybe has a chance out of bed). Edged by Paxton in Twister and it also seems apparent when you compare the photos with Rob

@ Sulu2020 - ....but if Cary is of average human male height, that would make Rob rather on the short side. Judging by how Rob compares with other male celebs, I'd say he's only a weeny bit below average, if that, and we have to remember that most male movie stars are rather tall. I've read that around 5ft11+ is favoured for a romantic lead, depending on the height of the leading lady.
Cheers and good vibes go your way from mine, Sulu! 😁👌
Cary gets 5ft11. 😄👍📏

Rob, you said 5'11" is the lowest mark you would guess for Cary and 5'11.25" is the highest and that 5'11" and 1/8 inch is something he really can measure. Rob, if you admitted that he can measure around 1/8 inch over 5'11" just give him that mark.

In the photo he looks about 3 inches taller than you since you have more footwear than him I think he needs a 1/8 or 1/4 upgrade.

Editor Rob the 5ft 11 (180) should be the correct listing, Paxton in person is taller, although in a film like Twister it wasn't the greatest for comparisons.

Well considering that Rob is more 5'8.25" than 5'8" on the nose he looks 5'10.75" to me in the pic. Then he has a 1/3 inch less shoe so he should fall between 5'11" - 5'11.25".
Like I said just seems a bit harsh since Rob is going with the lowest for him. Compared to guys like Brian Austin Green who look nothing like a solid 5'11".
In metric my guess has always been somewhere 180.4-181cm.
This listing puts him 180.4 cm tops because he is rounded down.

Why did you decide to downgrade him, after so many years, Rob?

Honestly, I don't think he's as low as 5'10 like some people are trying to say but he does look a weak 5'11 in the picture (of course, considering he has less footwear)...

Editor Rob for this site, it is a more varied sampling of humans. You have 4500 odd males. If you took a random sample in the US of males you wouldn't end up with 20 7ft or over, and neither would you have 20 males under 5ft.
I think though the average at a solid 5ft 10 is slightly more than you'd expect because of the extra proportion of sports stars who are of a taller stature.

Which one looked taller in Princess Bride, Patinkin or Elwes? I don't remember... They should've been very close to each other in height, although today Patinkin seems to have shrunk a little bit more than Elwes.

That's actually more like 2.5 inches over Rob. Rob's hair is very short and close to his head while Cary's hair adds almost an inch. I'd give Cary Elwes 5'11" maximum.

On screen, Cary Elwes always appeared to be in the 5'11''-6'' range, so this listing seems accurate. Rob, do you have a set limit of how much money you're willing to pay for a celebrity photo op?

Editor Rob since the site is a business to me, I do have to consider whether some are worth it.
Like say someone like diana rigg, at 35 for a photo op that to me was too much money for someone like that, so I have not spent money when I think they are overpriced.

Rob that is hilarious, there should be a law against autographs which are just too simple. It's like using a one character password, it's too easy to replicate.

Rob, are you joking? Or you really give 1 cm extra just because he's nice? The funny thing is that you are the first saying, in the FAQ, that you are as objective as possible!

Editor Rob I think his range is 180 to 181 so I go with the top of that. He was shorter than the photographer who isn't over 182cm...
Speaking of objectivity, cary is a nice chap but has a terrible auto, I thought he could muster more than a letter C for fans. To me it seemed a joke...but of course my disdain for the worst autograph I've seen a celebrity give paying fans has no bearing on guessing height.

3 inches taller than Rob. If Rob is 5'8 then he's 5'11. If Rob is 5'8.25 then he is 5'11.25 (as listed). And if Rob is 5'9 then he would be 6'0.

I personally think 5'11.5" is more accurate. I think he's slouching a little in the photo with Rob. He comes across as a tall guy in person. Almost 6 foot but not quite.

I saw Cary (listed here as 181cm) and Dean Cain (listed as 183) on back to back days at the same place in Malibu (and I was wearing same footwear), and Cary is the taller of the two - something's amiss. Their heights should be reversed.

I just spoke with him at the Malibu Country Mart. Very friendly. I am 5'10", and I would put him close to 6' even. around 1.5 to 2 inches taller than me.

Hey, I just saw Elwes on The Chew on ABC, and he was shorter than almost everyone on set, including chef Mario Battali, some other cooking chick, way shorter than another host, Clinton Kelly.. and the same height as co-host Daphne Oz. I was really shocked at how short he was standing next to everyone.
Well he clearly was standing next to tall - ish people. Look at how tall he looks next to Rob, a solid 5'11.

he`s not the 6`2 some are suggesting,and he`s not 5`7 either.He`s a minimum 5`10 and a maximum 6 ft, so around the 5`11 mark is probably correct.

I just rewatched "Robin Hood Men in Tights" and he seemed not much taller than 5'7 Amy Yasbeck, I always thought him to be around 5'11 but it seems inconceivable now seeing as he appeared about 2 inches taller than her. The angle and uneven ground can only account for so much...

With boots on he was taller than 5'11.5 Patinkin in The Princess Bride, but without them he is probably an hair shorter.
He looked also only a bit shorter than Jim Carrey in Liar Liar, 181cm is close.

Eric Allan Kramer's height is 6'2 1/2 so Cary must have to be 5'11. Cary is now 45 and still looks 5'11,but I agree with THE HORSE OF FUNK Cary's not 6'

Why don't we see anything about Eric Allan Kramer (Little John) from "Men in Tights" - That guy is big! - He looks to be at least 6'4" or more

Well since Cary gained weight in the 90s and 00s I would say he is 5'11''. after seeing him in Saw,he looked like he was a tall dude but definetly not over 6' so 5'11'' is his real height

Another one of my favorite actors. This guy's definitely not below 180cm. So this looks accurate for him, 'cause he's not 6' either.
About Andre: Andre The Giant was uhhh.... a Giant! It's called Gigantism, like the opposite of dwarfism. People who are official giants tend to shrink quite a bit compared to regular people. So, it's very possible he was in the 6'10+ range and lost a good deal of height. Also, the source you heard this 6'5 claim might be total bull. That's always a very good possibility, too.

Andre' Rousimoff looked twice his height in the Principessa Bride movie! Someone on this site said that Andre' was 6'5" at autopsy, well, he was in his later(or latest) years when he played as Fezzik in that movie and looked much taller than 6'5"! I think he looked about 6'10". But, if Andre' really was close to 6'5", then Cary wasn't 5'11"...No way!
