The male cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia must be short

runt says on 17/Nov/08
oops, thats 5-2 for gary

runt says on 17/Nov/08
I'm not trying to be funny either but I had a serious thought. If either Danny Devito or Gary Coleman would get limb lengthening surgery and wear lifts, I think the fascination would re-awaken their carreers. Danny could pull off 4'9.5"+3"surgery+3"lifts=5'3.5" (basically Michael J. Fox height) and Gary could pull off 4'8"+3"surgery+3"lifts=5'1". Nobody would blame either one of them for the surgery and noone has to know about the lifts. I think they would get alot of role offers just out of fascination.

i'm a male 26 years old 5'0.5 and gets alot of pussy

glenn says on 13/Nov/08
not to sound funny or anything a crowd of people chased after michael douglas(who i obtained again seconds before the saw him)after a boxing match,and during this mess,i nearly knocked devito to the ground,not knowing he was in front of me,cause people pushed me.last week.i said "sorry danny",he said "no problem".

leonari says on 12/Nov/08
DC: nice post. Good to see that there still are folks with a brain,heart and soul. I'm down with you man.

DC says on 12/Nov/08
I like his acting skills his height doesn't matter to me hes shorter than me and way so talented I would love to meet him in person! I respect him for his acting skills I don't care about height just got curious when I saw get shorty I thought he was a great actor in that movie

DC says on 12/Nov/08
he's a good actor I don't care about height I think that a person is attractive mostly by face value and personailty a positive talent plus

why not says on 1/Nov/08
Short looks even shorter on men. I don't know about him but I've heard Rhea Pearlman is 5 ft. 1
.

runt says on 30/Oct/08
Looks exactly 2 heads shorter than David Hasselhoff. If Hasselhaoff has a 9" head, it puts Danny at 4-10. But neither of them is standing straight.

rich says on 26/Oct/08
4ft 9 is probably the closest.

Ahleks says on 23/Oct/08
If you think this guy has ever been 5', you are kidding yourself.

He is literally dwarfed by 5'9" Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Looks like everyone else in the movie is standing head and shoulders above him.

anonymous says on 16/Oct/08
in twins he was at least 2 feet shorter than arnold swarzeneggar. So i would say he's 145cm at most.

Kate says on 4/Oct/08
Definately 4'10". Everytime I see him standing next to others and objects of referance in a scene, he looks exactly the same size as my boyfriends father - which is 4'10".

Stinky says on 23/Sep/08
Hey, Alexandraa, although you may be treated young due to your height, I'm 6' 3" and people think that I'm about 17, at most. In the end it doesn't matter what people think--we're all just animals, after all. Don't obsess over what the hateful believe.
I thought DeVito was awesome in Batman Returns, BTW.

thekiddd says on 20/Sep/08
Why People think he is 5'0 or 5'1" is beyond me.

alexandraa :) says on 16/Sep/08
good on him for admitting his height. i dont see why people have to judge you on your height anyway. im 16 and only 4ft10 (my mum is 5'2 and my dad is 5'3) i get called dwarf + midget EVERYDAY and i get called cute by people who are younger than me but taller. people treat you like your about 10, even though you think the same as every other teenager! Just shows that you can't let your height stop you from doing anything you want to! good on him (:

Captain Spaulding says on 13/Sep/08
4'10.5"

Anonymous says on 6/Sep/08
i met him. well, actually, i almost walked into him. he's pretty short. about up to my chest and i'm 5'5" however, this was a very brief encounter so i might not be 1000% correct...

runt says on 21/Aug/08
it's already been mentioned that Devito was in thick soled shoes on SNL in a skit with Rachel Dratch and Cheri Oteri and he was the shortest. Can't be 5'

Dr. Lecter says on 6/Aug/08
He looks shorter than 5', but he is a giant in acting

Clay says on 5/Aug/08
Rob took away two inches because Danny really is 4'10''.

EB says on 16/Jul/08
BIG BAD 5 foot 8 Rob has to pick on poor little Danny DeVito.
The guy says hes a measily 5 foot and you take 2 inchhes away from him.
YOUR A MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!

Dee says on 13/Jul/08
Iagree Meow. I am actually 1 inch under 5 foot and I always round it up to 5 foot - it does sound so much better ... yes, I have a height complex :-) - I was just watching a show with Danny DeVito (It's Always Suny In Philadelphia) and - as I always am when I see him in his actng roles - was fascinated by his height andwent on to google it which ought me here. I was astonished to read that he is infact my height. Wow! Now I REALLY have a height complex.. is that how short I really ook? When I saw him standing in a restaurant against people who were stting, I thought he MUST be quite a bi shorter than me. Yikes1 I always knew I was short,now I realise I am practically miniture. Well, i'm off to do my stretching exercises now. AuReviour :-)

Meow says on 12/Jul/08
I'm 5'2, and I don't look THAT short! Danny Devito always looks really short, especially compared to other people. He must be under 5 foot, I'd say 4'11 atleast. If I was an inch or so under 5 foot I'd most likely say I was 5 foot, round it up. I think that's probably what he does. There's a difference in people's reactions if you say 4 foot something to 5 foot. I think people think aslong as your in the 5 foot range it's not a big thing.

Alexandra says on 12/Jul/08
aww he is smaller than me and i'm only twelve

Izzy says on 9/Jun/08
He's 5', not 4'10" he doesn't look that short, trust me someone 4'10 would be below the shoulder of somebody 173 centimeters.

Jane says on 16/May/08
I doubt he's 4ft 10. Maybe 4ft 11 1/2 at the very least. Former Secretary of the Treasury Robert Reich is 4ft 10 1/2 and he looks like he has a hard time carrying himself. That would mean he's shorter than him by 1/2 and inch and he's pretty tiny.

lawliet says on 24/Mar/08
In "it's always sunny in philadelphia" the character Dee described the dad played by DeVito as 4ft10 in the episode "Dennis & Dee Get A New Dad"

chris says on 29/Oct/07
i've always thought that danny is about 5ft3 or something

at norm says on 22/Oct/07
He really fits to that "penguin" character in Batman. Danny DeVito came great as a comedian and been known in the world despite his height, at least short people can take DeVito as an inspiration that we could excel no matter how small we are.

Brenda says on 20/Oct/07
As I was always told growing up (as I was alway short) Good things come in small packages I am only 4'9" tall Danny is one of the good ones!

glenn says on 7/Oct/07
as d-ray says,who saw him too,its 4-8 for danny.

Marcelo C. says on 5/Oct/07
Great Actor !!!. He´s a good comedian, also made a magnificent "Penguin". Glenn may be right about Danny´s height.

Jon Doe says on 18/Sep/07
I think alot of people exaggerate though.Short guys seem to look shorter than short women.I always thought Danny was 5feet tall,he's gotta be atleast 4'11.

ted says on 22/Aug/07
Danny DeVito is the proof that height can't have a negative effect on people

I Know It All says on 17/Aug/07
Glenn's always pretty accurate!! ...he's taller than 4'9". Usually on ur average person, 1 foot is from ur head to ur shoulders, Glenn's a little under average height, so should be less than a foot in difference!

kingsauce67 says on 6/Aug/07
can we all agree now that Danny is either 4'9 or 4'10?

RICHARD says on 5/Aug/07
I have this big-screen TV so when I watch a movie with Danny in it he actually looks 6'5

Anonymous says on 26/Jul/07
Yes I agree, I am from Vietnam and I am only 166cm tall but I never gave much thought about it... and judging people by their heights is stupid !

Lee says on 23/Jul/07
You know Franco, It's people like you who make me sick with anger. To bully someone because of their height, it's pathetic. And I don't believe Devito is anything under 5 foot tall. In Relative strangers he was about 3 inches shorter than Kathy Bates who is 5'3" tall barefoot. So 5' is just right. In batman returns Michelle Pfeiffer doesn't exactly tower over him and she's 5'8" tall. As cat woman she wore real high heels so i'd say she stood 6 foot tall with the heels on and even then he didn't look like a dwarf next to her. Plus he's a real nice guy so stop bullying people because they're small. I'm 21 and 5'6" and nobody bullies me, and i'm tiny.

SEBY Romania says on 15/Jul/07
even he is a LITTLE man he is a HUGE actor.... he is 1.45...i am taller than him with... 44 cm....I'm 1.89 and i'm only 16 yrs. old

Mr. R says on 9/Jul/07
I ran into Danny and Rhea recently ata party for the cast of "Twelve Angry Men" starring her Cheers co-star George Wendt. I alwasy thought that Danny was at least 5 foot. WRONG!! We ended up in the garage together getting our cars, and he is at best 4-10. Rhea may be about two inches taller.

leonari says on 7/Jul/07
Franco: you are starting to piss me off with your insulting remarks...

Rob why are you supporting this fool??

Jon Doe says on 30/Jun/07
Guys, in the friends eposode that features Danny Devito playing a stripper (which was funny as hell I might add) those girls were definetly wearing heels plus he was wearing the police hat so how in the f*ck could you judge his height from that at all? I thought he was 5feet tall and his wife Rea was 5'2.

Maria Bassi says on 21/Jun/07
Wow Danny is around the same hight as me. I am 4 foot 10. and also Italian.

17,181 says on 21/Jun/07
5'9 today like his stunt double in deck the halls,well done kingsauce67 for finding that.

Jerry says on 5/Jun/07
I work for a TV station in Philadelphia. He was here to promote "It's always Sunny in Philadelphia" and we interviewed him. I am 5'6...Danny did NOT make it up to my chin. I'd definitely say he's 4'9 or 4'10!!

X says on 19/Apr/07
Don't the armed forces, or at least when DD would have enlisted, have a height requirement?
If so, anyone know what it is/was for men?

If Glenn were ACTUALLY under 5-8 like many would have us believe we'd have to give Danny the dreaded "4-6.5" listing.

D. Ray Morton says on 10/Apr/07
Looked around 4'8" to me. Nowhere near 5'.

osama says on 9/Apr/07
hello, does anybody know how tall danny's parents were?

anie says on 8/Apr/07
When i was 4'10 i was elewen or maybe ten, bet I was groving very slow so now i'm just 5'1 - 5-1,5.

megan says on 1/Apr/07
WOW!!!!!!!!! im taller than him. the average eleven year old is probably taller than him! when i was 4'10" i was twelve! dakota fanning and abigail breslin are probably also taller than him. that is pretty amazing.

Editor Rob says on 14/Feb/07
The highest I've seen Devito is in a 1989 article in a St Louis newspaper.

Shockingly described "The 5-foot-4-inch DeVito"!

Anonymous says on 9/Feb/07
Kristin Chenoweth is 4'11 and pictured in that article as well and seems taller than Danny Devito.

Anthony says on 7/Jan/07
I think Danny was about 4'10 at his peak, but nowadays, I think he's scraping the 4'8 mark. Doesn't rreally matter though, he's an excellent actor and seems like a really cool guy.

sleuth says on 2/Dec/06
On Saturday Night Live recently he was in a skit with Cheri Oteri and Rachel Dratch and boy is he's definitely under 5'

Parker says on 1/Dec/06
Here's an article from the UK Sun today. The paper claims the journalist to be 5ft even and she is photographed full length with Danny at the bottom of the page

Click Here

Stretch says on 1/Dec/06
After watching the clip of Danny on The View in which he made the female co-hosts look like 7-foot power forwards for the Dallas Mavericks, we used "remote sensing" equations and this website to conclude DeVito is between 4' 8" and 4' 9".

kingsauce67 says on 21/Nov/06
I think this link will put an end to this controversy. It is a website for Danny's stunt double. His name is Micheal Munoz and he is 4ft 9in. If you click on one of the photos, there is one of Danny and him standing right next to each other, side by side. Sad to say, his stunt is a tad bit taller or at least the same height as Danny. I didnt realize Danny was so tiny. Danny obviously has been shrinking over the years. I think he was possibly 5 feet tall in his prime but he may be only 4ft 8 according to this picture. I think he rounds his height to 5ft becasue its easier and less embarassing. Check it out:

George H says on 23/Oct/06
All I know is that he's shorter than his wife, Rhea Pearlman, and she ain't particularly tall either :)

Glenn says on 14/Sep/06
Oh,this friend was 6-1.5.

Glenn says on 14/Sep/06
I had this friend that was a bad judge at height that said Danny was 5-4 too! but he also said DMX was 5-8.I saw 5-9ish.then he retracts his spine to 5-11,6ft!

kenny says on 13/Sep/06
his even shorter than 147 in pic above beside abit hunching glenn.. i gave him 144 at most..

Editor Rob says on 13/Sep/06
St louis dispatch, 1989, fire this journalist:
"The 5-foot-4-inch DeVito"

jimmy says on 3/Sep/06
I don't think he's under 4'10, I'm a small man myself (5-1), I met him inNY about some 8 years ago I gave no more than an inch to him, also in the Batman Returns movie you could clearly see that Michael Keaton gave no more than 10 inches to him

JMG says on 28/Aug/06
hes not 4-10...hes ridiculously short but not that short....at 4-10 he would technically be considered a dwarf(4-10 and under for men) he's like 4-11 to 5-0

dmeyer says on 2/Aug/06
my mother is 153-55cm range and he seemed shorter than her when i met him so about 4 10

Mike dude says on 25/Jun/06
i don't know, Danny looks pretty short to me. He is of course only 5'

Alex says on 23/May/06
I remember in Twins he was over a foot shorter than 6'0 Arnold. 4'10-4'11 at his peak when he was younger but def 4'9ish today.

Glenn says on 21/May/06
You mean cause Wayne and I wear lifts? I was feeling like Chuck Conners and Steven eagle actually.who both share my b-day.

D. Ray Morton says on 20/May/06
Looks 4'8". Glenn is a monster next to this guy.

(Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush)

Frank2 says on 19/May/06
Glenn, so tell us, how does it feel to be John Wayne?

CoolJ says on 18/May/06
I personally think we need to shave an inch, maybe two off this guy as sad as it sounds.

I'm 6'4" tall and standing next danny I would look like I am 10' 5" tall

Im the midget on the left.truth is, its 3 midgets SF. that I can admit .Lena, thanks but I think I look dumb,unless thats what you meant.the photo is the Gary oldman photo.the worst is the Stallone.Im one ugly mofo bloated on meds in that one.

Glenn - which one is you? HA - FUNNY!!!!

lena says on 1/Apr/06
4'10" seems about right. glenn, this is a good picture of you!

Link says on 25/Mar/06
What i find strange is that in the film twins with arn devito also comes up to arnies shoulders, im not saying arny is 5'8" thats just silly, hes not 6'2 but hes definitely not 5'8.

Maybe some dodgy camera angles are taking place here
dunno

but in the friends episode he was a LOT shorter than monica and rachel and arent they like 5'4" ish?
He was DEFINITELY over 4 inches shorter than them 2, at least 6, id say 4'10 is a good average, give or take a inch

trueheight says on 13/Mar/06
4'10 seems accurate for *prime*. Take into account that he has been shrinkin(like all men) minutely ever since he hit 40-45, with weight contributing substantially, so 4'8 sounds very rationsal

Anonymous says on 9/Mar/06
He's listed at 5' - Doesn't that tell you something about listings. Oh, and find him and Natalie Portman on Wireimage.com and you will see that she is really five foot.

6\' & 18 says on 25/Feb/06
Glenn slouching + Devito closer to camera + Devito wearing hat gives illusion of taller and actually slight advantage...I think Devito is 4' 9" from that based on Glenn's height. :|

CoolJ says on 31/Jan/06
Glenn looks like he's even slouching a bit.. which is the main reason why I think DeVito might be under 4'10.

Parker says on 31/Jan/06
From the shoulder to the tip of someone's head is about a foot. If you watch episodes of spin City you will see top of MJF head is in line with the 6'4 Mayor's shoulder - In the above photograph it is difficult to tell with Danny's hat so we are at 4'8-4'10. Personally I'd half the difference. At 4'9 you are probably within an inch of his actual height - With posture and footwear, and the time of day you are measured, its virtually impossible to guess anyone's height more accurately than that.

Marc says on 26/Jan/06
TJ is right. The most Glenn can be is 10 inches. 4'10" + 10" = 5'8" Glenn. So, 4'10" should be right. My cousin the same height as Devito, but I'm 5'10", so she only comes up to about my collar bone.

TJ says on 15/Jan/06
Is it really easily a foot difference as some are saying? Look at the very top of Danny's head and move across to Glenn. It comes to just under Glenn's chin. He's max 10 inches taller than Danny.

Glenn says on 15/Jan/06
yes,my first guess was 4-8.

J. says on 13/Jan/06
Wow, Danny makes 5'8" Glenn look like a giant!

Mario says on 13/Jan/06
Even at his peak he was no more than 4 ft 10, just compare to (ex)-legitimate 6 ft 1 guys as Schwarzenegger and Christopher Walken. I have even my doubts if he comes those days to the 4 ft 10 mark.

Parker says on 13/Jan/06
Glenn looks about a foot taller than Danny to me in this. Glenn - would you agree?

Glenn says on 12/Jan/06
Rob,you do realise thats robin williams on the right of the original photo?

[Editor Rob: yeah, I split it up ;)]

CoolJ says on 12/Jan/06
Damn he's a shrimp next to Glenn.. Might be 4'8-4'9

CelebHeights Editor says on 12/Jan/06
A pic of Devito and Glenn is now up.

to me Devito looks like 4'-6" in "Tweens" Arnold is about 2 feet taller than him

danny de vito is 1m65 5'5'' near schwarzenegger

why do you guys obsesse about height, 0.00feet to 5'11'' is short!

Cobra says on 1/Nov/05
What I don`t understand, why he should lie about his height?
4ft10 is short, 5ft1 is short. Short is short. ;)
So I believe his 5 ft.
But a good comedian!

Andrea says on 4/Sep/05
Aaaaah. Danny DeVito's definitely 4'10". I think he said so himself, too. And in any case... he's still taller than me. I'm 17 and 4'9", haha. :D

sb says on 8/Aug/05
to "Shorty" and "me":
If Devito is 5', then how tall is Woody Allen? 5'8?
Nothing to do with perception here. You can even use a computer to draw a straight line to compare.
If he was a strong 5-footer, then why would he say "On a REALLY good day, I'm five feet...?"

[Editor Rob: DeVito would be measured at 5 foot if he spent a week on the International Space Station so his spine is fully decompressed!]

Ricardo says on 7/Aug/05
I don't think it has anything to do with perception. If he was 5'1" he would be 2" shorter than christina ricci with her heels on and his shoes on cuz she is 5'1", in that pic he looks 5"-6" inches shorter which would make him 3"-4" inches shorter if they were both barefoot (were assuming Christina has 3 inch heels.)therefore 3"-4" inches minus 5'1" leaves you with 4'10" and 4'9" respectfully, if you don't beleive me just look at the pic that rob posted carefully and allow your finger to go from danny's head to christina's head and not the the differance... the top of his head is below her eyes.

me says on 7/Aug/05
I agree with the comment made by "Shorty".
Also, a sort man looks even shorter than a short women does. In other words, perception plays a part in it.

TJ says on 12/Jul/05
Definately no taller than 4'10. He looked tiny in his Friends cameo and none of the Friends girls are very tall.

Mr. Klaus says on 12/Jul/05
I agree with this height. In Batman Returns DeVito looks 40cm shorter than Christopher walken who was 185cm at that time.

Shorty says on 11/Jul/05
Danny DeVito is definitely 5'0". If it comes from the celeb themself, you can bet that it's true. She's only that much taller if she's wearing heels. Plus, she's 5'1".

[Editor Rob: If devito is 5ft I'll eat my hat...]
