I reckon that Gary was listed at 6ft when he played Lucas in 'American Gothic'. The heights of him and Jake Weber are not exactly poles apart and I believe Jake is listed at 6ft1. The two guys can look each other straight in each others faces.
I remember thinking when I first saw it, "This bloke keeps materialising out of nowhere!" 😂😂😂
He could intrude at the most inconvenient of times, when you think about it, the naughty tike! I wouldn't mind so much if he was likeable, but he simply ISN'T! He's bad news and being as he's the Sheriff, he should have people's best interests at heart but he hasn't! He's out and out evil....👺😝
Gary can have 5ft11.75.

🎈🎁🎂🎉 Happy Birthday Gary! 🎉🎂🎁🎈
Gary Cole turns 63 today. He had me utterly hooked in 'American Gothic', which, admittedly, is going back a bit now. His role was as the ultimate baddie, and I'll leave it up to your fertile young imaginations as to whom he played! 😉
He's taken on 'nicey nice' roles as well! 😁
Gary always looked on the tall side to me.
Have a great Birthday, Gary! XXX 😀👍

I thought Gary was excellently creepy in 'American Gothic', but at this moment in time, I am watching him take on a truly sensitive, emotional role as a man whose wife dies in childbirth and he is left with their tiny baby daughter.
What a completely different direction for Gary! I am impressed and touched by the sincerity of his performance.
This film is from 1990 and you can see, of course, that Gary is his full and optimum height of 5ft11.5 or so. I must admit that I would have put him at 6ft in 'American Gothic', but hey, there's not much in it!
I'll continue with this moving little film now! Byee! 🏡🚼🚹😭
(The film's title is 'Those She Left Behind'.)

@Editor Rob,
Average? He kinda has a long-ish face so I'm not sure if it's just average without the beard and long hair.

Editor Rob I'd said not much over, it still implies a bit more than average, close to 9.5 I'd have thought.

I think in that I Spy photo with Owen Wilson, Cole would be standing on higher flooring or a step up from Wilson BTW.

Rob, could you add Veep to his TV known-fors and In the Line of Fire, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Pineapple Express to his film known-fors?

Guest starred on Curb Your Enthusiasm, looked quite similar to 5'11 Larry David, both standing poorly though.

Editor Rob I don't know how accurate that is, but you only have to look at Gary Cole on Chuck with adam baldwin/zachary levi, he's nearer 5ft 11 than 6ft with those 2.

Saw Office Space again and he looked a solid 6ft guy.

@Rampage: Couldn't agree more. He's not carrying himself too well, and even when that's the case he still looks around 5'11. Standing tall he looks every bit of 5'11.25, could even argue 5'11.5. It's likely he measured 6ft or very near it in his prime. Give him the 5ft 11.25in, Rob.

Editor Rob 181cm is probably a fair enough shout for him.

Rob do you think he can be fractions taller than 5'11? Like 5'11.25 - 5'11.5 range? He looked surprisingly close in height with David Duchovny for example.

I also saw him once with 5'11 listed (a bit too much imo) Jason Bateman, and he was noticably taller. He tends to slouch a lot, so he may well be 5'11.5 or more when standing straight. I could see him 181, 182 or 183 cm.

I just saw Gary Cole in a recent episode of Law and Order SVU. He is almost the same height as Christoper Meloni who is 6'0.5'' tall. So I would say that Gary Cole is about 6'even.

Maybe 1.81 m is better Rob because he often looks a strong 5ft 11in.

Could be 182cm becuase he only looked a few inches shorter than 6'3 Clint Eastwood in the Line of Fire. here with 6'1 john c mcginley only looks 1 inch shorter Click Here isn't impossible either when you look at him with mcgninley

Definitely more 6'0, Rob. Just saw him in Chuck and he's 3-odd inches above Strahovski (strong 5'9).
