How tall is James Kyson Lee
James Kyson Lee's height is 5 ft 8 in (173 cm)

Korean born American Actor best known for appearing on tv series Heroes.

In this double shot (from Heroes Event) he wore this footwear which to me looked a bit like elevator boots, and he went up a bit on one foot for more height!

In grey hoodie (pic from Collectormania 2007) shot james had about 0.5 inch more shoes than me.



5ft 8 Rob, 5ft 8 Jenny and Mr Lee.

Comments on their height

Rob this are a 100 percent elevators and they for sûre give over 2 in 2.4-2.7 in type but hé has to be 5'7.5-8 in
Original says on 7/Jan/12
Looks 5'10.5 in pics.
Robby D. says on 4/Jan/12
You can tell those are elevator shoes which would increase his height by around 2.5".
andy says on 1/Jan/12
Kudos Rob for absolutely busting this guy. Perhaps he knows of this site and maybe he recognised your face and tried to do everything he could so that youd give him the 5'10" hes clearly gunning for. If so i would have loved to have seen his face after youve rightly burst his bubble. But even then your still bein kind. In the shot with Gordon Ramsey his eyeline is a couple of inches below Gordons chin makin the height difference about 8 inches. This guy really could be 5'6" if the soccer aid shot is anythin to go by.
[Editor Rob: well he achieved his goal of looking 5ft 10 range in a photo.

of course that doesn't mean he is...if I wore elevator boots and went on one foot a bit I could look 5ft 11 in such a photo.]

5 ft 8.25 in/174 cm with shoes off
ChiasmataX says on 21/Nov/11
170-171cm barefeet. 173-177cm in shoes with lifts, elevator, etc.
Adamz says on 16/Nov/11
This guy is 5-8 flat in the morning, on a good day. Rob is taller than James Kyson.
Physics Enemy says on 7/Nov/11
He's 5' 7" flat next to Larsson. Rob's being kind. It's the Stallone effect; even when people use lifts/elevators, not all of the added height gets knocked off and they still get estimated with a bit of boosted height. Same thing with women wearing heels. Jenny the 5' 10.5" actress.
Physics Enemy says on 3/Nov/11
Except Gordon Ramsey was 6ft 1 3/8ths in footwear, not barefoot. Kyson is 5' 7.5" or possibly even 5' 7" flat. Rob is easily taller than this guy. He's wearing elevators AND tiptoeing. That's some serious height complex.

Rob is being kind by listing him at 5' 8" to be honest. Doesn't deserve it!
erico says on 30/Oct/11
Hmm, for sure elevator shoes (ugly looking) anyways I think he's still taller than you rob , face it bro.
Physics Enemy says on 29/Oct/11
He probably is 5' 7.5" though, looks it next to 177 Larsson. He's doing everything possible to appear taller. Glenn needs to take notes lol.
Physics Enemy says on 29/Oct/11
LOL, I looked at these pics and thought 'why is he listed at 5' 8"?!'. It was a good chuckle reading your comments Rob. I agree with the poster who talked about him probably wanting to improve Asian stereotypes. You could have been really mean and asked him to remove his elevators and stop tip-toeing lol.
LAN Jiao says on 18/Oct/11
I agree with legend. 5'7.5
Legend says on 5/Oct/11
Yeah and he still doesn't look that much taller than you even with the big advantage. That's why I suggested 5'7.5...
Legend says on 26/Sep/11
He looks 5'7.5 counting the footwear advantage in the second photo. Downgrade Rob?
[Editor Rob: I think 5ft 8 is ok, but to anybody just looking at a picture he has them fooled.]
LMAO! says on 26/Sep/11
LMAO LUCOSO HHahHhahHhah
LUCOSO says on 15/Sep/11
this second picture is fun.you tryung to force his feet to the ground right rob
Bizzy says on 7/Jun/11
@USYD: Im not trying to be racist or anything, but the truth is he is an Asian man in Hollywood and Asians are known to be short. Im not saying thats where his height complex comes from, but since he's pretty much a representative of Asians in the media, maybe he's symbolizing to the general audience that asians arn't all short and can have a major role in a blockbuster superhero tv show that doesn't perpetuate negative asian stereotypes, like a stark contrast to that geeky looking asian dude who is his buddy.
Darren says on 28/Mar/11
his shoes were definitely lifts! RDJ/Cruise style!

5'8" MAX for him.
James says on 16/Feb/11
LOL he looks 5'10 1/2 on tip toes


Dean says on 7/Feb/11
Next to 177cm Henerik Larrson he looks at least a solid 2inch if not a bit more! No way is he over 172. Id guess 170-171 about 5'7.25 he looked awfully short in soccer aid!
K4 says on 6/Feb/11
I thought he was shorter than this. I guess it's because of his stocky build.
Derek d says on 29/Jan/11
AKK says on 22/Jan/11
He was slightly tip-toe-ing(possibly even leaning forward to appear bigger to the camera) in the first photo(presumably so he could put his hands comfortably on your shoulders). In the second photo, his slightly bigger forehead, coupled with the up-do give an illusion of 1-1.5 inches of height advantage.

He can do all the leaning he wants in the first picture, he's still behind Rob who has the slight advantage. Which makes me believe he must be wearing elevator shoes, I mean they look definitely look like them to me.

Have you ever suspected other celebrities to be wearing lifts, Rob?

[Editor Rob: I've seen people appear taller but then looking at their footwear it's mostly cases of cowboy type boots or thick boots rather than suspecting lifts, although I'm sure one or two have worn a lift]
Chad says on 25/Nov/10
yeah i guess your right, hes probably your height, didnt see the pic with you in elevators lol

how many inches does the average elevator shoe give?

[Editor Rob: the ones I wore in that other photo give 2.5 inches of height, that's pretty typical. Anywhere from 2-3 inches, or 3-3.5 if you have a boot is also possible.]
Chad says on 24/Nov/10
Yeah, sorry rob even with elevators still looks 5'9 - 5'10, alot taller than you

[Editor Rob: Kyson and 177cm henrik, both in soccer boots.

me in standard elevators with Jenny in sneakers. Rob vs Kyson with Jenny. I don't think he appears any taller than how I look in elevators, and that's not even mentioning how Kyson was raising himself up a bit from a flat heeled stance ;)]


Matt says on 9/Nov/10
yes those are definately elevators.. good find and I would even give him more like 5ft 7 ish due to those comparisons when he isnt cheating..
