What is up with the top picture? Rob looks a giant next to both him and Jenny. Rob are you in lifts?

[Editor Rob: we have both 7/8th inch sneakers, I mentioned before that jenny stood with a one foot in front of the other stance in that double shot.]

Tom, Lucy Lawless is 5-10, not 6 feet.
TNTinCA says on 3/Oct/09
I would put him lower than 5'7". In the pic, Rob is leaning in and the difference appears to be more than an inch. If Rob was fully upright, I would guess it would be about an inch and a half of difference. Which would make James around 5'6.75" or so.

After watching a few episodes of BSG, I kept thinking he was teeny, but then I saw Tricia Helfer stand next to Lucy Lawless, who is about 6 feet tall, and Helfer was at least 2 inches taller. He looks around Starbuck's height.
Mathew says on 19/Aug/09
He looks just a little less than 5'7" to me.
RICHARD says on 22/Jul/09
Wow he looks like a young version of Richard Lewis. Poor guy

He looks about 5'6-5'7. He has a very similar Tom Cruise-kind of build so if you put lifts on this guy he can reach 5'9/5'10

i agree that this guy is about 170 171cm pretty short guy
kali from me says on 13/Jun/09
this guy is obviously 5'7 no doubt my brother is 1 inch taller than me and thats exactly how we look on pics so yeah 5'7
T.J. says on 30/Apr/09
looks 5'6"
the hair makes him seem taller
Leonari says on 23/Mar/09
Looks a strong 2 inches below bamber.
Ivana says on 31/Jan/09
Well if Callis is to be downgraded to under 5.7" as some people are suggesting, then Sackhoff has to be downgraded from 5'6.25" as she's listed. He's at least an inch taller than her, as seen in the photos I posted a link to. He's taller than her even though she's wearing heels.
Brent says on 4/Jan/09
great photos, 5'7 is very accurate
Bouncer says on 3/Jan/09
Looks 5'6.5 tops to me.
Anonymous says on 3/Jan/09
His head is huge, it looks like he could be 6'5" judging by his shoulders and up. But yeah, he looks 5'6.5"
runt says on 3/Jan/09
Did I miss something? How did Jenny go from 5-8.5 to 5-8.25-0.5??

[Editor Rob: I gave her that range, but the more I have measured her under all sorts of different times of day and working/non working days, I think I would call her 5ft 8.25 as her low.]
TNTinCA says on 1/Jan/09
I agree with the previous poster. Seems slightly under 5'7".
Tha truth says on 28/Dec/08
i see 2 inch difference here. his hair is a little deceiving. but id say hes not in the 5'7 range barefoot. 5'6.5 would be my guess
leonari says on 26/Dec/08
Well Rob says James Callis is 5'7". I asked him if 5'6.5 is possible and he replied: "I wouldn't rule it out" . So to me James Callis is between 5'6.5 and 5'7" inches. Thats the closest I will ever get to knowing how tall this or any other person listed on celebheights is. Whatever Glenn,Rob,Mamun or anybody else states: These are ALL without exceptions: estimates. Very close ones. Sure. But still estimates. We should never forget that. For any listed height on this site there is a room for error that is at least 0.5 inch.

pics are pics.never always great for accuracy.thats that.fun to look at though.felder i felt was 5-10ish,5-11.but i think he had dress boots on.he is 5-10 min without a doubt.i agree rob looks taller than an inch there.thats why rob isnt 5-8.he is taller.near 5-9 at times morning.but rob says he is 5-8 during photo time.lots of things to factor.maybe that guy above is 5-7 flat in morning and had no sleep.he was at his lowest above.5-6ish.then you have to factor how tall he looked to rob.thats important too.
Anna Simmons says on 24/Dec/08
I see 5'7" for James Callis, he stands slightly shorter than Jenny and James. FYI I myself stand 5'8", PS...nice wardrobe Jenny. As Paris Hilton would say, that's hot!
Donatello says on 24/Dec/08
I could see this guy 5'7" morning but thats it. Probably under 5'6" 1/2 in these pics though.
leonari says on 23/Dec/08
Gonzalo: I think you wanted to say the opposite of what you just posted cause if you say he is shorter than 5'7" than ROB upgraded him (and Rob is taller without a doubt) Get you facts straight dude
leonari says on 23/Dec/08
ROB: Is 5'6.5 possible or 5'7" the lowest you would give him?

[Editor Rob: I wouldn't rule it out.]
frankys says on 23/Dec/08
he looks 5,6 max
Vibram says on 23/Dec/08
Smaller, look at the tick hair compared to Robs crop. 5ft6.5.
Danimal says on 22/Dec/08
I see 5'6.5" MAX.
leonari says on 22/Dec/08
Always pegged him at 170 cm. Can look taller in a suit due to his thin frame. And he does..but only in single shots in Galactica.
leonari says on 22/Dec/08
LOL!!! What a story!! The guy is an amazing actor! And his looks are really priceless. Wish I would have seen it in real life...
derbi says on 22/Dec/08
Rob, what about the footwear int these pics? you look taller than Jenny and compared to james you look at least 5'8.5" me.

[Editor Rob: james wears near 1.2 inch shoe, Jenny is wearing a pair of adidas much closer to mine now, both 0.9ish inch.]
Gonzalo says on 22/Dec/08
He looks shorter than 1`70. Rob downgrades people shorter than him and upgrades the taller ones
Donatello says on 22/Dec/08
I see more 5'6" 1/2, seems to be a little bit more then an inch between rob and him.
miko says on 22/Dec/08
Rob do you think 5"6.5 could be closer to the mark?

[Editor Rob: of course there's a chance, but 170cm is a decent estimate I think for him.]
Editor Rob says on 22/Dec/08
To give an idea of taking photos...

Jenny went first and stood fine with Callis. I can see them standing together and estimate how tall he looked against her.

Then we have a double shot together, so Jenny moved to the other side and I noticed she had a little bit of a one foot forward, one foot back stance, so it wasn't great.

I have a wee lean myself, but it doesn't take a lot off. I then got my single shot and actually have a bit looser posture in my back than I had in the double!

In any case, James looked around 5ft 7, he actually is wearing a 1.2 inch shoe here. Me and Jenny are wearing adidas that give 0.9 inch this day.
Editor Rob says on 8/Dec/08
I saw Callis down at heathrow at a cool little galactica event on Saturday. He looked around 5ft 7.

Anyway, at one point we were standing in the foyer of the hotel and saw a Man with a beard go into the gentleman's toilet. Nothing out of the ordinary, well, except for him wearing high heels, tights and a black leather mini skirt. 30 seconds later James Callis walks in.

A couple of minutes later james walks out and the look on his face was priceless, the kind of look that Gaius Baltar would give - 'That was the men's room, right?'.
Ivana says on 12/Aug/08
Rawwaseur: no, they are not the same height. As you can see from these offscreen shots, Callis is taller than Katee Sackhoff, even when she's wearing heels that are certainly higher than the soles of his shoes.

I've seen Callis listed as 5'8, but in every BattleStar Galactica shot with Callis standing next to Sackhoff (Starbuck) they are *exactly* the same height. I've seen them in shots where they are both walking so boxes weren't used, however, you don't see their feet in those shots so there is still room for speculation.
colbertnationalist says on 11/Oct/06
with relatively short to average male cast

[Padraig: I've met Callis and Tricia Helfer in 2005. Helfer is very tall and Callis very thin, surprisingly so.]
Zack says on 26/Jul/06
Looks more like 5'7
horacle says on 14/Mar/06
he is 172-173 cm but no more
