In the Watcher with Keeanu Reeves he looks 175cm-176cm range roughly 4'' difference even though some shots made it look like more of a difference it was around 4'' difference between them.

At least 175 cm

also looked more than an inch taller than 5'8 Gary Sinise at the emmys in 2004, so 5'9.5 might be spot on for Jimmy...

looked about an inch shorter than jerry seinfeld, in the 90's. If Jerry is really 5'11 that would make the listing of this site pretty accurate.
Looks more like 5'9 nowadays. But still gave me the impression of being taller than steve carell in the office (I mean compared to the rest of the cast)...
I don't buy anything under 5'8

I'd say he was at least 5'8"-5'9" in Pretty in Pink (1986)..

5' 7" tops in bare feet.

You guys talking about how he was fat in boston legal and lost weight now should look at him in the movie 'Super Nova'. Not a real known film but he was like a bodybuilder in that. Never seen him in that kind of shape.

Looks 5ft9 to me. Did he intentionally get fat for Boston Legal? cause he kinda looks fat there but before he always leaved an ectomorphic guy impression. probably why he was wider in BL ppl think he's 5ft8. I'm not saying he couldn't be, just that he does't look it.

I got an autograph and a picture with James Spader following a performance of RACE and I doubt he is any taller than 5' 8". As others have commented he was very nice, really good looking, and had lost a lot of weight since Boston Legal ended. As far as judging his height from his costuming on Boston Legal it doesn't work well because I have two of his costumes from the show and the leg length fits me perfectly and I am only 5'4".
