Dean Cain's Height
5ft 11 ½ (181.6 cm)
American Actor best known for playing Clark Kent/Superman in the 1990's tv series show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. In film he has appeared in Out of Time. He said in a blog interview (Cool Kids Table) about working on Smallville, "Tom's big! I mean I'm six foot, 200 pounds, but he's got to be six foot three, 240. He's big, man. That kid is definitely taller than me and definitely bigger.". In 2015 on a Crowder podcast he also claimed"I was measured at Buffalo at Five-Eleven and Five-Sixths...now? Hey listen, I may have shrunk". In this convention photo I had about 1/3rd inch more sneaker than him.

Hi again Rob! From the previous comment does that mean he measured close to guys like Sebastian Stan? Like 5ft 11 and 3/8ths at night?

Hey Rob! do you think Dean Cain woke up at 183.5? Or just 6ft? In his prime obviously

Rob do you think 2.5 inch difference between 2 people is a lot ? Like how do you think a person who’s 2.5 inches shorter than someone perceive the other person ?

Editor RobWith same posture, it is a noticeable difference. However, if the taller person doesn't stand as well and is lowering their eyes when talking to you, whilst you raise yours, suddenly it can seem not that much.

Was around him for a day at a charity event a few years back. Im 5’10 and he was cleanly taller. Super nice guy - intelligent and knowledgeable.

I suppose it's not impossible he may have been close to 6'0 in his 20's. Obviously not a full 6'0 but 5'11.75 can't be ruled out for a prime. At 56 he may have lost a fraction.

The Bills listed him at 5'11" and if you dig deep enough on the internet he's listed at 5'10". 6' was only mentioned when he played Superman.

This photo of Dean with Lou from 2000 just shows that the 5ft 11.75 is his correct range: Click Here
He might have looked a full 6ft at times but I think the fraction below that is more appropriate and he was definitely over 5ft 11.5.

Rob, is 5ft11 flat arguable?
He just does not look like a guy whose knocking on the door of 6ft. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with that 5/6th listing and that he got measured very early. Put it this way, guys like Matt Smith and Capaldi would edge Dean, IMO

Editor RobWell with a fraction less sneaker he still looked 5ft 11 range so I an believe he measured 5ft 11.5 range

@Editor Rob: so you met him in 2012 at 46. Do you think there was a chance of a small height shrinkage? Or do you think he got a Morning measurement? I’ve never seen the NFL measure in 1/6” increments either.

Editor Robwell 3 years later when he claimed 5ft 11 5/6ths he also said who knows I may have shrunk...
at 46 when I met him...if anything you are talking mm or 2.
I'd say it could have been 10-11am...

Hey Rob! Is there a chance of a 5ft 11.75-6ft range for Dean? Take a look at his photos with Lou Ferrigno from 2000: Click Here Click Here
Lou was 48-49 at the time so he might have lost half an inch already but I doubt he was less than 6ft 3.5 then. I can't see the four inch difference between them. Rob, do you see the chance that Dean could have been a 182-3 cm guy more than an 181-2?

Editor Rob11.75 is the highest I'd really go, but then 11.5 might be the low range for him.

I don't think Dean's a legit 182cm guy, let alone 6ft...compare him to someone like Capaldi or Matt Smith...he'd easily get edged. 181cm tops in my book...possibly 5ft11 flat
There's something really annoying and dislikeable about him as well...the stuff with Chris Kyle and Jesse Ventura...and just his need for attention and his views on things that he knows nothing about.
I thought Cavill was a poor Superman until I remembered this dude

182 ish does look about right. I never realised he was part Japanese when he was younger, as he's aged it looks obvious. I thought he was more Italian/Greek sort of descent when younger. Nowadays he could pass for Hawaiian.

Ive met him about 5 years ago somewhere next to my workplace and took a pic with him just like you did way back in 2012. He seems like he is 3 inch taller than me when i had great conversation with him about something.... Anyways, I would say he is really strong 5ft 11 180cm rather than 5ft 11 half and 6 footer... Btw, He is also down to earth just like Zac Efron and Tom Felton........

You can tell that he's dropping his posture, and he still looks a strong 5'11. I would definitely give him the listing of 5'11.5, but 5'11.25 is also possible. Anything in the 181/182cm range.

I may be wrong, but I'd say he's somewhere between 5'10.5"and 5'11" barefoot, and that buffalo bills measurement was in sneakers, just like every time I was measured for every single physical I had while in sports. Then its just the classic roundup to 6' in shoes. And rob, he mayve had slightly less sneaker than you that day, but you're wearing a flat, cropped hairstyle while his in that photo would tend to give him a little extra advantage. Close to 6' in shoes , end of day, is my estimate, one inch less barefoot...

@Christian: my definition of strong is like you and I fall in our respective ranges meaning 1/8" or 1/4" or 3/8" above. You could argue it up to 1/2" maybe after that I'd consider it weak at the next height like for you 6'5.5-.75 would be a weak 6'6 me an inch lower weak 6'5. These are of course using your afternoon or evening heights. I'd go more 2/3-1/4" under for weak tho so if someone is 197cm at their lowest they'd be weak 6'6"

--------
When you say strong 6'0", do you mean 6'0.25" or 6'0.75"? Because I define "strong" as a quarter inch above a certain inch, and "weak" as a quarter inch below. For instance when I say that someone is a weak 5'10", I'm meaning that he's 5'9.75".

Click Here There is the proof.I think he was a full 6'0(183cm)in his younger days.
@EditorRob what do you think?Cause he always towered his cast members in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.6'0 should he be up-graded?

Editor Rob I'm not sure, but when they measure for the nfl it will be rounded to the 1/4 inch. These stadiometers or tapes might go to 1/32, or 1/16th divisions.
The 5/6th is hard to understand, it makes more sense 5/8ths to me.

I just watched the youtube clip and he says he was measured at Buffalo at 5'11" and 5/6. That's Buffalo, New York so this was right after he graduated from college when he was signed to play for the Buffalo Bills (professional football, NFL) before he got the knee injury in training camp. So this measurement was not during college football, because he went to Princeton University which is in New Jersey. Rob it's up to you if you want to correct that.
[Editor Rob: as mentioned before, nobody really gets measured 5/6ths, it is more believable 5/8ths or if he said 7/8ths, I suppose you could say he meant one of those rather than the sixths.]
Rob, did you actually read the guy's comment? It's like he is asking you about the weather, and you answer him about what time it is. He says that Cain was not measured in college as you write in the description. And you answer him about the 5/8 5/6 thing. LoL.

Dean also said in season 1 of the Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman DVD commentary that he is six feet barefoot. I think this was for the commentary on the pilot episode if I remember correctly. When he said he was measured at 5'11" and 5/6 for college football I believe this is a very accurate measurement. Of course, five eleven and a half looks possible for him too, but I take his word about the college football measurement. That's five eleven and .83 inches. Almost six feet.

Dean is 6'2" (with sneakers on...). I met him twice. I'm 6'3" on the nose and was wearing reef flip flops - he had sneakers on and was still solidly an inch or so taller. Nice guy.
Which would make Tom Welling at least 6ft5!

He is pretty bulky..good amount of muscle..and definitely not lanky. That fact may make him look shorter. In Malibu when I saw him at Coffee Bean, I was surprised he was not 6 foot. 5'11" IMO.

I recall he was the same or just a bit more than Chris Meloni on SVU, which argues that Meloni's more like 5'11", although the latter can look six foot next to others.

Met him in Malibu last year. Was a lot shorter than I expected. It's weird how some stars are taller than you would expect (Kid Rock is a solid 6 footer for example) and others are shorter. Cain is no taller than 5'11." I am 5'10" and he was just slightly taller. These movie stars all want to be 6 footers, so they fudge a little, and if you wear good size heels, he can pass for a six footer.

I always knew he would be honest about his height. He's not a big 6 footer, but considering the footwear disadvantage he must be pushing 182 cm, and clearly not less than 181cm. The point is that claiming 6ft with a low height of 5'11.5 is pretty honest, just rounding up. Of course, saying '"almost 6ft" or even "about 6ft" would be the best answer, but when you have 181-182cm guys like Justin Timberlake claiming "almost 6ft2" then just rounding up half an inch seems like a breath of fresh air! And he accurately referred to 190cm Tom Welling as being "6'3", instead of the crazy 6ft4-6ft5 guesses some other people(who have even met him!) say. Just saying it's refreshing. And 5'11.5 is correct, IMO.

I did a 3 day stint working background for a show called 'Bounce'.
It will be VH1's first scripted series debuting this year.
We were shooting some scenes for a charity auction.
Therefore all the men were wearing suites and dress shoes.
There were a few times where I was just a few feet from Dean.
I'm 6'1" in my socks and he only seemed to be around 1" shorter than myself.
Unless he was using some custom footwear to appear taller.
However, when he first arrived on set he was wearing street clothes.
He had on sneakers and seemed to be the same height the entire time.
Dean Cain is listed on his movie/tv page as being 6' in height.
My estimate is that Dean Cain seems to be around 6'.
This is of no consequence, but Mark Cuban was there doing a brief guest spot.
I didn't get as close in proximity to him but I got close enough.
Mark Cuban is listed on his movie/tv page as being 6'3" in height.
My estimate is that Mark Cuban seems to be between 6'2"-6'3".
Though I would say he is probably closer to 6'3".

Saw him this morning in Malibu. I'm 5'10 and was wearing 3/4 inch heeled hiking boots and he had 1/2 inch tennis shoes. He had me by just half an inch. Taking into account the delta between our heels, he is just shy of 5'11" . Bank on it. NO WAY is he a 6 footer. Between 179 and 180. Shorter than you would imagine because on screen, he looks like a strong 6 footer. Time for a downgrade to 5'11" max.

Wow is he really a legit 6'? Surpised. I thought he was more like 5'10" or 5'11". He looks just about 6' here. His physique makes him look more 5'10".

I'm an actor who worked with him on a made for TV movie. I'm 5'9.5" and he is taller than me. The wardrobe girl that did his measurements said he's 5'10.75". Since I lie and say I'm 5'10", it's quite plausible for him to get away with 6'. Also, most actors add between a half and an inch and a half, so the lie continues.

Ex Pro Football players heights are easily verified since they go through the grueling NFL combine. People forget this guy was an all-american in college. He is just below 6', just enough to round up though

I am only reporting what I read. I am sure that he is a nice man, but many stars still have their vanity.

He's 6ft tall. I kind of agree, his physique/wide shoulders may make him appear to be shorter.
Mr. R
Sorry, but I find your story hard to believe, lol. Especially since you cited that it was 'famous'. EVERYONE (famous or not famous) who has met Dean spoke about how friendly and really nice he was. He doesn't hesitate to take pictures with fans or put his arm around them and such.

I'm surprised that everyone thinks he's less than 6 feet. He actually looks _taller_ than 6 feet, but I agree that it's because of his solid physique and wide shoulders. The stated height of 6 feet is just about right.

He's easily above 5'10. but he looks much shorter than his real height (6fit) in any screen ,compared with any other actor or actress. What I want to say is that keanu Reeves who has the same height with dean does look pretty taller than dean.

That is just ridiculous Tannoy! A 5'10 man looks much smaller unless he's always wearing awful lifts or uses platforms, what he visiby did not, whether it is in Lois & Clark or "elsewhere"!

I remember reading a post on a thread dedicated to real life celebrity meetings, and somebody skewered Cain, remarking "it was probably short man's syndrome". Hard to imagine a genuine six footer being associated with shortness...

My sister is 6'1 and she met Dean at a park in Brentwood, she talked with him for almost an hour. She was wearing flats and she said he was probable about 6'0 but no more then that. Trust me a tall girl knows when a guy is shorter.

He does look a couple of inches taller in comparison to the guy in the photo than kurt russell. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove Frank2, but to me you just proved he is 6'0 especially in comparison to 6'3 Gabby Reese.

I saw Dean and Gabrielle when they were dating about ten years ago in Santa Monica. He was wearing boots and was still slightly shorter than her. She was wearing flat sandals. She is EASILY six-foot three, as I had to look up at her and I'm five-eleven. One of the tallest and hottest ladies I've ever seen. Btw, Dean did appear to be around six-feet. It certainly takes courage to date a lady that tall, kudos to Dean!

Yep 6foot on the dot. In one superman episode they show him on a mugshot when superman goes to jail. On that he's about 6,3 but that was done delibritly to make him look taller as superman is sopposed to be huge. I guess they just liked Dean cane more than any of the other candidates even if he wasnt the extra 2 or free inces required. As i read an article saying they were looking for a 6,2 6,3 candidate to play superman. But they still chose dean cain. But if you look all of the past superman and even the current smallville superman are all well over 6foot. I mean christpoher reeve was about 6,4 or something.

There is a famous story from the Superman set, when Cain realized that a number of the extras were taller than him, and he demanded that they be replaced. Saying, "no one is taller than Superman"! I think he is 6' on the nose.

I think that 6ft is accurate. There is a scene in Out Of Time where he squares up to Denzel Washington. He is exactly the same size
