Hugh 190cm says on 4/Jun/09
Andrea, 6ft1.5 is tall. 6ft and over is where being tall oficially starts.

ANDREA [ITA] says on 3/Jun/09
so there in america a 6ft1.5 man is not very tall like here in italy. in fact, dominic is often overcome by others even if he's that tall. here in italy we have an actor who is 1.90 m tall and he always he's the tallest one... that doesn't happen with dominic...

Hugh 190cm says on 3/Jun/09
Andrea, He's taller than Wentworth Miller by about 0.5 inch. Watch season 1,2 and 3 and he always has the edge on Miller.

ANDREA [ITA] says on 30/May/09
how can you say that dominic purcell is 186-187 cm. in prison break he's always shorter than wentworth miller for 2-3 cms... so in my opinion he's max 1.84. he doesn't appear much tall. he looks only 5 cms taller than robert knepper and michael rapaport who is 1.91 has at least 8 cms on him. watch prison break well or buy a pair of glasses!

Hugh 190cm says on 16/May/09
Bagwell - 177cm
Sucre - 178-179cm

Hugh 190cm says on 12/May/09
Dominic/Burrows - 187cm
Miller/Scofield - 186cm
Stormare - 188cm-189cm
Wade Williams - 180cm
Fichtner - 184cm
Rappaport - 192cm

Kali from me says on 16/Apr/09
Dominic and miller are the exact same height with miller having a slight advantage.. but Dom can somehow look taller sometimes because he's kind of bigger and has a very very good posture compare to miller, especially sitting down. But truth is miller is 6'1 and purcell about 6'1 or a little smaller

Hugh 190cm says on 13/Apr/09
Love this guy in Prion Break. I'd say he's close to 6ft2 barefoot. 187cm.

Hugh 190cm says on 31/Mar/09
6ft1 at least. Probably closer to 6ft2.

adam says on 29/Mar/09
Lmeister says on 11/Nov/08
He is around 6ft-6ft1. He has been described with bot heights in quite a few articles. I don't think that he is really that built. He just has a thick neck and big bones, but his shoulders aren't that wide.

Very true. I agree completely.

purcell6'2?noway says on 13/Mar/09
Actually im a big prison break fan and watching the fourth season i though he didnt looked that tall.. looks like 5'10 5'11 next to sucre in season 4.. but he looks pretty tall in other season but i dont know i would put money on the fact miller is 6'1 and purcell probably 5'11 or 6'

\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 23/Feb/09
I remember in an episode of Prison Break, one of the witnesses described him as 'a tall man, 6 foot 1-2'.

\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 23/Feb/09
Looks 2-3 inches taller than 5ft11 Wade Williams. I'd say closer to 6ft2.

steph says on 26/Jan/09
I thought he would 5 10

miko says on 22/Jan/09
Must be the light, Purcell still has plenty of hair. Pics taken in late 08 prove it.

Could be just over 6"1.

glenn says on 22/Jan/09
taken may 2008.didnt notice that until you mentioned it.

Mark says on 21/Jan/09
yeah.. hes definately 6'1. Glenn, he looks like he's going bald in that pic, because he's got hair at the sides but not on top of head. Did you notice that when you met him? when was this pic taken?

Hugh says on 16/Jan/09
No, Dominic Purcell is broad shouldered. He's bulkier than Wentworth. Wentworth is leaner and has a longer body.

Hugh says on 14/Jan/09
He's looks quite big on Prison Break. I think he's maybe 186cm.

Hugh says on 4/Jan/09
Looks close to 6ft2. An upgrade rob???? Looks pretty broad on Prison Break.

Mr. R says on 28/Dec/08
In this month's issue of one of the Mens' magazines (maybe Men's Health), He is the cover story. Inside, the author describes him as about 6-2 and 200 lbs.

adam says on 14/Dec/08
He is muscular and has impressive arms but doesn`t have broad shoulders. I`d say Miller has wider shoulders than this man.

Hugh says on 5/Dec/08
Between 6ft1 and 6ft2. Quite broad. Probably weighes over 200lbs.

anonymous says on 28/Nov/08
In one of the episodes, he was described as a tall man who is 6 foot 1-2. 186cm is quite accurate.

Anonymous says on 28/Nov/08
when he stood right next to fichtner who is 184cm he looked significantly taller i say he is 187cm at the most

adam says on 28/Nov/08
Lmeister, you are right on: He has a thick neck and a muscular built but DOESN`T have broad shoulders.

Hugh says on 11/Nov/08
6ft1-6ft1.5 is more accurate. Miller is around that height aswell.

Lmeister says on 11/Nov/08
He is around 6ft-6ft1. He has been described with bot heights in quite a few articles. I don't think that he is really that built. He just has a thick neck and big bones, but his shoulders aren't that wide.

tony montana says on 10/Nov/08
wentworth and purcell are both 6 ft 1 fact

Lenad says on 1/Nov/08
Brad hes closer to the camera.

adam says on 25/Oct/08
6-1 minimum.

Gago says on 25/Oct/08
Dominic is 6'1 possibly 186cm, I see him a lot in Gold's Gym in Venice.

Brad says on 24/Oct/08
He's not even standing up straight and he looks 6' 3".

klem says on 24/Oct/08
He has such a big hed anf jaw and neck, looks huge, not just tall even thoug he is not so buff, he is just very broad built, mesomorph with very musculine features.

Big King says on 24/Oct/08
Yes, Purcell is 6'1".

David says on 23/Oct/08
His head is enormous hahah. To me he looked about half inch taller than wentworth miller.

D. Ray Morton says on 23/Oct/08
Looks pretty big here (my guess, 6'1" plus - and a BUILT 6'1" plus at that), even taking into consideraton that he is markedy closer to the lens than Glenn. Hell, he looks pretty big even compared to the other airbrushedly-rugged amazonian supermodels in Ratnerland.

Elburg says on 23/Oct/08
Purcell is a stocky 6-1er, like Reed Diamond, so they seem to be only average height.

Derek says on 23/Oct/08
Purcell is closer to the camera. He looks more 6'0"-6'0.5".

Alucard says on 23/Oct/08
Wentworth got a different body type aswell. Purcell has a huge, thick neck which gives the illusion of him being stocky. He looks 185.

Anonymous says on 23/Oct/08
Actually, I think Wentworth gives the illusion of being taller than Dominic based on the Glenn pictures. Odd. Anyway, looks 6'1" here but hard to tell how much he's leaning.

miko says on 23/Oct/08
He's looking 6"1 here, similar to Wentworth with Glenn, but Purcell is closer to the camera. 6"1 it is.

The Horse of FUNK says on 23/Oct/08
This guy is a strong 6'1". Give him either 6'1.25" or 6'1.5". He looks a solid 186-187cm guy to me.

frank P says on 8/Oct/08
Only going by TV & films? I'm WAY off! I thought Purcell was about 5"9-5"10. But...your ALL saying 6"1 so it must be true.

adam says on 28/Sep/08
Did you downgrade him? I remembered you had him as 6-1 and 1/4...

Just watched the second season of Prison Break and he looked 6-1 or maybe a bit more in all cases except one -when he travelled with his son in the series (LJ, cant remember the actors name) the difference between those two looked ENORMOUS! I could swear that the little guy was about a foot shorter than Purcell. Then I remembered that the LJ actor was supposed to be like 5-6, which would made Purcell minimum 6-4, and watching those scenes where they walk in the desert even taller!

But the man was shorter than Adelstein, Stormare and so on so that`s it. But if you have a chance, watch the second season where Burrows rescues his son! Watch when they walk together -the little guy comes to his shoulder height!

chris says on 22/Jun/08
In the commentary of the first episode of Prison Break, Paul Scheuring said to Dominic he looked about 6'2" and Dom said he was.

dmeyer says on 8/Oct/07
in pics he can look 0.5 to 1.25 in over miller he makes miller look 6 ft flat in pics but i guess better posture for dominic so maybe 2 cm btween them i think 6'1to 6'1.25 for dominic and miller 6 ft to 6'0.25 for the people who thinks miller is taller look at getty images you will see purcell 3 cm taller than miller

dmeyer says on 8/Oct/07
if yoy look at pb dominic alwais has 1 cm on miller somtimes 2 cm and sometimes they look the same pavement shoes posture....

klem says on 28/Sep/07
he is a typical mesomorph look how big his body is compared to legs. wenthworth is same height witl longer limbs.

Lisa says on 21/Sep/07
dominic admitted on the special features in the series one dvd that he was 6 foot 2 inches I heard from his mouth???

anonymous says on 15/Aug/07
Lol, Domonic's legs are like 2 feet apart. He would be at least 2 inches taller if standing upright. Plus Wentworth is leaning on one leg, and when you posture up on one leg you can cheat an extra half inch that you don't actually have when standing on two feet.

Anonymous says on 7/Aug/07
people that say purcell is shorter than miller should get glasses they might look close but dominic has the edge 0.5 to 1 in

dmeyer says on 29/Jul/07
can look 6'1.25 next to miller

dmeyer says on 16/Jul/07
in md pics dominic looks a full in over miller they seem to have the same shoes the differance seems 0.75 in aleast maybe 0.25 floor advantag

dmeyer says on 16/Jul/07
i agree purcell might be 6'1 before bed and like 6'1.75 out of bed

Anonymous says on 21/May/07
Actually, Dominic is about 1/2 inch shorter than Wentworth Miller, if Dominic is 185 then Miller must be 186 or no less. If you want to compare the heights, you have to be fair, so take a look at the following image, it show the full length of both stars standing next to each other, both appear t wear the same kinds of shows, and the picture was taken from a straight angle for easy comparison:

majagreta says on 11/May/07
ithink he is 184-185 he doesnt se so long

MD says on 10/May/07
Franco,

Dominic is taller than Miller, and has looked that way in every picture I've seen of the two, together:

Click Here

Steve says on 10/May/07
His head is disproportionately big compared to his body. I watched a couple of episodes of the series "John Doe" and in some scenes he looked like a lollipop to me :-)

MaxB says on 6/May/07
@Mike - although Dominic is a big man, he has wide head and even wider neck and to me that gives an appearance of unusually large head - I don't mean anything disrespectful. Maybe it would be less noticable if he had wider shoulders. BTW the more I watch Prison break the more I'm convinced he really is 6'1 and that he is taller than Wentworth Miller.

MD says on 10/Mar/07
A few strange pictures (is Rob Kneeper taller? This is taking into account the leans and stretches):

mike says on 10/Mar/07
MaxB, how does he have a 'gigantic head'. Do you think wentworth miller has a gigantic head? Because they're both the same size. He's normal.

Oh and 6'1 I agree with.

mark says on 28/Jan/07
its odd i mean in prison break dominic is a bit shorter than wenworth...and wenworth's height is like 6 ft 0 in

dmeyer says on 22/Jan/07
after looking at a few pics he is 185 186 cm 6'1 and miller is 184 strong like 6'0.5 of course he can look 6'1 it is easy to look 185 when you are 184

sam says on 18/Jan/07
There are pictures out there where Miller looks slightly taller, then other pictures where Purcell looks taller. I'm of the opinion that they're the same exact height (6'1"), but their posture & proximity to the camera varies.

007 says on 17/Jan/07
I think Miller is the one beating Purcell with half an inch on PB, but I must say that it looks the other way around in MD's picture of them wearing the same shoes.

Matt says on 10/Jan/07
Tim -- Purcell beats Miller by at least half an inch, if not a full inch. MD's post on 17th May provides a photo confirming what many of us suspect. I think Purcell has a habit of slouching, allowing Miller to make gains. But whenever I've seen the two of them walking side by side in a full length shot in PB, Purcell has Miller convincingly beaten.

Melissa says on 27/Oct/06
to the person who said your brother saw Wentworth and said he was your brother's height. Well, you always THINK someone is your height when you are standing next to them - i've done the same thing too. It is only when you see both yourself and the other person in a mirror that you can see that there is usually a great height difference. It is just impossible to make a fair assessment when you don't have a mirror and are gauging a person's height in comparison to your own.

MaxB says on 3/Jun/06
Can't tell what his height is - in Blade Trinity he didn't look especially tall and I'm actually surprized to see 6'1, but I should watch that movie again (they probably made him look smaller so he wouldn't be much taller than Wesley as he is the superhero). Anyway, he has gigantic head that makes him appear bigger in close shots.

king says on 30/May/06
hes taller than wentworth, hes either 6'2 or wentworth isnt 6'1

Gramps says on 20/May/06
Methinks there is at least a 1.5" difference.

Jess says on 16/May/06
Wentworth looks tall than Dom because he is skinnier where as Dominic is broad shouldered and muscley. Everything I read says he is 6'1. I'd love to meet him he's one of my favourite actors. As for Balde and the height of Wesley and Dominic, they would use angles and stuff to make them looked the same height, evenly matched otherwise it would probably look funny.

Dominic's Girl says on 4/May/06
Wait, you've seen him? That's awesome! My dad is 6`1 and he looks like Dominic too! I have my own little Dominic at home. ^_^

Anonymous says on 17/Mar/06
I stood behind him in a line at Starbucks here in Chicago recently, he is definitely 6'1". His appearance is even taller. I am just under 5'10", so it was easy to gauge.

ROO says on 12/Jan/06
I think he is around 6'0, because he was a little bit shorter than Wentworth Miller in one pic.

Random Anonymous guy >:D says on 3/Jan/06
Hm.. one of the few things i watch on TV is prison break but honestly I never paid attention to their height or anything. Maybe he's one of those guys who simply look short on TV even though they're pretty tall. I'm impressed that boy (the one who plays his son in the show i think) is so short, I thought he'd be way taller than that.

deadman says on 12/Dec/05
my brother was at border's bookstore this week(in chicago) and he saw wentworth miller, he said they were nearly the same height, if not exactly the same, and my brother is 5'10"

MD says on 20/Oct/05
Actually, disregard my last posts. If Wentworth Miller is 6'-0.5" than this looks right. They are both nearly the same height, and in some pics one looks taller than the other and vice versa.

[Editor Rob: I had a look...haven't seen prison break but there doesn't look much between those two guys although assumes we have right height for this purcell]

MD says on 20/Oct/05
If Wentworth Miller really is 6'-0.5" than Dominic is definitely under 6'.

d says on 20/Oct/05
i doubt it. wesley snipes is 5'10" at most and in blade trinity, during one of the fight scenes, they were seeing eye to eye.
