Schneider is in boots aplenty,he works a farm. Candyman says on 14/Jul/08
Tom Welling can sometimes appear "taller" or lankier only due to the fact that he always wears boots which make his legs look longer while Schniedr is usually wearing loafers or casual dress shoes.

There is a big difference between 5'6 and 5'8 as Ed.Rob is KC.
I can assure you that differences are more obvious in shorter heights than higher ones for an obscure reason. You need to be very tall to make a 5'8 man looking as Rob does for Rob is not small. K C says on 29/May/08
im 5'6 and my brother is 6'4 and i barely pass his shoulder. this doesnt seem right. Yaspaa says on 29/May/08
I can see you point Marco,maybe footwear is an issue. Marco says on 28/May/08
Why are Welling and Routh listed here as 6'2.5 if they seem to be taller or at least the same height than Schneider? Yaspaa says on 3/May/08
John made an appearance in a recent episode of CSI Miami,I watched it and he did look particularly tall and more slender than usual,he may have lost some weight. patrick says on 17/Mar/08
You know Yaspaa, you write very well and that confirms how much you would downgrade yourself « before »!
I don’t have time nut it’s my holiday today and I have to honour it in replying if only a couple of words.
I am pleasantly surprised by what you say about TV shows related to movies.
That exactly what I say myself, at least considering “new cinema” (from the mid-sixties!).
Beforehand, there was no comparison possible because feature films were just so often great even, fantastic!
If you take a year as 1939, you simply cannot imagine today so many fabulous movies made in a 12 months period!
Furthermore, just at the dawn of the most awful terrestrial event ever: WWII.
To me, the shows I referred to and which you watch being a child, are the greatest because made with cinema professionalism: remember that Alfred Hitchcok hired the crew and means he used for his TV series “Alfred Hitchcok presents” in order to shoot psycho.
When you take that into consideration, how perfectly shot, photographed, edited and such that masterpiece (to me) proved to be, you have a slight idea of how fabulous were the guys working in this TV industry!
Now, they do a very good job too as their “heir”: as I previously wrote, I see in smallville especially, all what is due to the greatest movie maker, whether they were directors or producers.
Great producers used to be genius in the 30 and 40ies.
They did learn how to render “American” the best they took out of German, Danish or British cinema.
About Star Trek, I have two “favourites”: the most “magical” will remain the “original” one from 66 (to 69) and the most developed, sometimes so deep and clever, brilliant is undoubtedly STNG.
In comparison all the sci fi shows as star gate look like the teletubbies!
About CSI and NCIS, what I find lacking is the deepness of the characters and their relationship, the interaction between them.
Actually, what I mentioned about “producers” is easy to find out in the TV industry: Quinn Martin, Bruce Geller, Gene Roddenberry yesterday (just to name a couple) and David E. Kelley, Chris Carter, D. Wolf and, of course, the Smallville ones, are today those who render possible the shows we like or love.
Whoever directs the episode, he’s got to follow a path precisely defined and which makes the series homogeneous, structured.
That’s what gives the familiarity with those who quickly become as personal relationship, friends, relatives or so.
I do as you do about TV shows: I give them their chance but there are so many that I do not give them a lot of time and I know that some will “go through” and that I shall miss them.
Anyway, I trust my own “star”: I know that even if I miss a really good one, I somehow will catch it up, whatever the way my destiny will use for that!
The only unrecognized genius is the one whom never made his work known and kept it in his drawer. Sooner or later a brilliant piece of art will stand out, even though after its author’s death.
By the way, I forgot to mention Seinfeld and Malcolm, Frasier and a few others in the comical style. My favourite? Seinfeld but I remember the Monthy Python, Father Ted and Fawlty Towers which just kills me.
I still see John Schneider as 6’3 (just to stay in the “note” of the site).
A bientôt! Yaspaa says on 15/Mar/08
Patrick,some really interesting stuff there. Many of your mentioned shows are what I was watching as a child,so my opinions on these shows are from a childs perspective. The 'Trek' however is my biggest love. I loved the original series but TNG totally has my heart,Voyager is great to a lesser extent,Enterprise is OK and DS9 ( a soap opera in space)I really enjoy.Sci-fi/fantasy I tend to love in general,so yes, 'Trek' I really miss,I hope the new movie is good.
CSI, I watched and enjoyed for the first 4 seasons,but when CSI Miami,CSI New York and then 'bones', I got quite bored,there are only so many times you can watch someone with a black light looking for blood and other unpleasant bodily fluids.
NCIS brings quality, unpredictable storylines with a silver lining of humour and charm which I am thoroughly enjoying at the moment.
I am a TV freak,TV shows tend to give much more closure to the watcher over 'most' movies,you can really get attached to characters over the course of how ever many seasons,and in these shows I am always aware of their statural prominence,estimating how tall I think they are,for the only purpose of.. knowing.
I will give any show a try and if it offers well written witty,interesting or exciting storylines I will keep watching it and keep mentally measuring actors summits. A tout a l'heure. patrick says on 13/Mar/08
Yaspaa! I had lost you again! Please, mention soon what pages you are usually writing on.
Thereby, I’ll be able to keep communicate with you!
About the current shows I am fond of, they actually happen to be rather rare.
It’s not that I find them all bad but because of “how old I am”! I grew up with really great, “cinematographically” well done TV series as: “the untouchables”, the fugitive, wild, wild west, mission impossible (I could be turn into a real maniac killer towards those who dared massacre them on the big screen!).
I am a big fan of all the star trek shows (but deep space nine!), the twilight zone and outer limits and must admit that for the latter, the 90ies series is one of the best show ever: a true philosophical lesson in each episode but attractively demonstrated!
Not mentioning columbo, zorro (Disney’s) and so many others among which British ones as the avengers, danger man, the saint and the persuaders and “the Prisoner”, were the best or so!
They were real “dramas” and many of their directors and actors were movies ones.
Yet, now and then, there were and still are good, even great, shows, whether during the (bad) 70ies, the (worse) 80ies. In the 90ies, many new shows brought something which reminded me the 60ies golden age (60ies are golden age just for TV and definitely not for movies but a few exceptions including the more than brilliant Stanley Kubrick).
So, to get to the point, I liked very much about ten years ago, the X files, Lois and Clark, picket fences (a great underestimated David E. Kelley show), the practice and of course: the three “law & order” shows.(The probably most intelligent show at any point of view from 30 years).
In the 2000 years I positively love Monk.
I know that Dr House and prison break are very good too but I just don’t have time enough to read all what I read, to watch all the DVDs I got and to ride, walk and go to the movies!
My days are just 24 hours!
I love the Simpsons too as all the great cartoons: from Disney’s to Tex Avery, passing by Bug’s Bunny, Tom & Jerry and such.
I am the most eclectic guy you ever will meet! It’s actually very rare to meet a man loving both Kubrick, Mel Brooks, all the big stars of the past, Tom Welling, Smallville and Shakespeare without loosing my mind; I am always very neat and clear about what I like, dislike or love.
To finish, I’d say that very successful shows as sex and the city, desperate house wives and the CSI are to me in fact, very, very conventional and full of “tricks”. No real psychology or characters I am definitely not interested in. That said, they are all very well made and far, far better than all what we could expect to so in France!
Let’s compare what is comparable!
I know that in England there are good more or less recent series but none are as the 60ies used to be. Too realistic and not magic enough!
Smallville is probably the best combination between fantasy, art (look at the photography, colours rooted in the best 40ies and 50ies cinema!), heroism and psychology!
That “melting” “takes” as we say in French, meaning “it is credible”.
Sorry for being so long but soon, I won’t be able to write for months, thus…
Thanks anyway for asking me and I hope you will read this and answer, whether it is here or rather in the Tom page which turns out to be completely abandoned! Thomas says on 3/Mar/08
what does the red "r" and the green "g" after some heights mean
[Editor Rob: glenn or rob picture on that page. Helps those who just want to look at entries on this site with photos.] Yaspaa says on 29/Feb/08
Is there other modern shows you are as passionate about Patrick? Yaspaa says on 29/Feb/08
Ah,Patrick you have tracked me down and are not wrong in assuming that I am not easily manipulated.When I am wrong I am still right,lol,and sticking with that belief will make me content forever.
I think John looks a solid 6'2 in this picture,maybe 0.25 inches more but not 6'3 and certainly not the 6'4 he claims. With the 0.5 inch height advantage Tom Welling seems to have over John in Smallville,would indicate Tom at at around 6'2.5 - 6'2.75 ( based on this picture). patrick says on 29/Feb/08
Yaspaa ! what a pleasure to meet you here !
So, you won’t be surprised (and I hope not bothered) to find me too and to agree with you. I always saw Tom clearly taller as I explained it here and there so many times that I am worn out now!
You wrote : “Would they choose a guy to play the character of Clark's father if he was taller than the guy playing the Clark character?”.
I say: “yes” for the show getting started but “no” after. So, as it is impossible, they evidently, made John taller or arguably matching his “son” then, Little by little, the let Tom regain his normal height.
Tom always, always, looked taller than him by more than an inch in all the public events and shows they appeared in both, generally with “Ma Kent”, the wonderful Annette O’Toole, seeming among sequoias between them!
Furthermore, I remind you that John stated several times being proud of Tom “whom is even taller than me by an inch”.
In all the streets scenes, he looks clearly shorter than Tom while he is always taller than all the others members of the crew!
And to finish dear Yaspaa, I am not surprised that “you” saw Tom taller than John. I am not flattering you but I’ll say what I did to AAAA so many times: you have a “real” common sense and that touch of “right gauging”. Don’t doubt you have it. You eye is pretty acute and I don’t say that because you are here “my side”.
The fact you saw it “like that”, as a new eye, arguing differently than it is reportedly done, proves you are independent and very hard to manipulate.
Am I wrong in assuming that?
Hope to read of you too soon AAAA! Yaspaa says on 28/Feb/08
Hmmm,quite a passive answer Rob (sorry to use you in third person earlier). What do you think about the Tom Welling/John Schneider comparison?
Do you think they make Tom appear taller in the show?
Would they choose a guy to play the character of Clark's father if he was taller than the guy playing the Clark character?
[Editor Rob: I think they are very similar on the show and angles can and footwear can swing differences a little in either favor.] Yaspaa says on 28/Feb/08
The top of Rob's head is level with the point of John's nose and it's the same story with Brandon Routh. I don't think John is the full 6'3,generally looking a smidge shorter than 6'2.5 Tom Welling in Smallville. I only see a six inch difference in the picture,I think I'll go with 6'2.25.
[Editor Rob: although I am as near level distance with Routh, but here I am slightly closer than john. Although Schneider was wearing decent nike shox, about 1/4 inch more than me anyway.] Yaspaa says on 27/Feb/08
Usually seems a tad shorter than Tom Welling, not a tad taller. anonymous says on 6/Feb/08
brandon routh is 6`2.5. And schneider here looks slightly taller. 6`3 is pretty bang on. Viper says on 18/Jan/08
Well, he looks 6-2 1/2 max wth Rob. anonymous says on 18/Jan/08
how do you figure 189 max!? anonymous says on 17/Jan/08
uhhh... viper, those pictures prove only one thing. That you were dead wrong all along. they prove he is 6`3 AAAA says on 15/Jan/08
True patrick..... he is a big guy patrick says on 15/Jan/08
John looks 6'3 here as usual. No less than 6'2.5! No way Tom Welling being shorter than him! On the contrary, he always appeared taller in off-show events. Those guys are all really tall and very well built!
So, this pic just should be enough. Da Man says on 10/Jan/08
I gotta say Vegas, if that line was razor sharp, Rob would be missing significant brain matter in the Schneider and Momoa pics. AAAA says on 8/Jan/08
Sugar Honey Iced Tea...completely forgot he was wearing shocks, ..... I retract my previous statements. He is dead on with Routh. Nevermind. 189-190. Not a clear 6'3 but close. Dallas says on 8/Jan/08
I think John Schneider is probably right at 6'4 and Tom Welling is right at 6'3 which accounts for the close to an inch difference in their height. John appears to have like 3 inches on John Glover and Tom Wopat both who are 6'1. Viper says on 8/Jan/08
So hes 189cm max. Pretty much what Ive been saying all along :) Vegas says on 8/Jan/08
here are four photos
rob is only up to schneiders nostrils and rob is slightly closer to the camera Click Here
rob and routh, rob is side by side here and leaning ever so slightly, thing to remember is routh has a smallish head, the rocks forehead was much larger Click Here
most peg jimmy smits at 6'3 looks the exact same difference between smits/glenn and rob/schneider Click Here
rob has jason momoa listed at 6'4, based on this pic he would have approx 0.75" on smits and schneider and a little more on routh Click Here
[Editor Rob: pretty much...
routh/me on as near plane, very similar shoe heights, posture is decent for both of us, the lean is v small there.
schneider, yes slightly closer here, he has 1/4-1/3 inch footwear advantage so I think it evens itself. But he has a little lesser posture than Routh.] Da Man says on 7/Jan/08
I see zero appreciable difference between Routh and Schneider. In both Rob is well above their nostrils (which would be a roughly 6.5" difference) and about 1" below the eyeline. I just played with the pics in paint, and the two look almost exactly the same height. AAAA says on 7/Jan/08
Well yeah I defn agree that it is almost impossible to tell, but Schneider just looks MARGINALLY taller to me for some reason next to you Rob AAAA says on 7/Jan/08
Well he looks taller next to Rob than Brandon Routh, who most seemed to agree was 6'2.5. I know the pic with Routh is closer up, but the top of Robs head is close to the tip of the nose, while in Routh's pic Robs head is closer to the middle of the nose. miniscule, but when discussing .25in in heights, then it all matters
And rob appears to be standing without a head tilt, which he had slightly in Rouths pic ( ROB, not harping at all on you BTW, I think both pics are outstanding...keep up the great work).
To sum up my lenghty discourse, Schneider looks taller next to Rob then Routh, and Routh looks 6'2.5 solid next to Rob. IMO Routh is a 189-190 guy, schneider is 190 at least, more 191. I wish I could post pic anaylsis but I just landed from a MISERABLE plane ride and have to get back in the grind for school tommrow. Hope to hear from you all agan.
[Editor Rob: I think it's really close in both to be honest, both hard to tell apart BUT, Routh has better posture, I noticed that about him, John has decent posture but not as good as Brandon.] Anonymous says on 6/Jan/08
In the pictures with Hasslehoff (assuming he is still 6ft 4in) Schneider looks 6ft 3.5in so 6ft 3in makes complete sense. He also does have good posture. Anonymous... says on 6/Jan/08
dude im 6'-3" 3/4" i saw him at the event and i met him to get his autograph John was shorter than me by like 2 inches u do the math.... o and when u mentioned johns height was proabably 6-2.5? think again....their shoe heel difference might play a part too....tho not much just a thought AAAA says on 6/Jan/08
Well the diff here is really close to the Photo Glenn has with Smits. Maybe he is only 190(6'2.75) now, but I feel like he was def 191(solid 6'3) and may have lost a cm. He is close to 50. Whats funny is some places have him at 6'4 or more, even though he has said 6'3 himself or "almost" 6'4 Katie says on 6/Jan/08
Oh, man, I love me some John Schneider. Though if he's still 6'3, then I think that puts Tom at a solid 6'3, too, according to this Smallville promo photo from season 1: Click Here venus says on 5/Jan/08
I agree, he's 6-2 1/2. That guy's head is up to his nostrils, now if the top of Rob's head was up to his bottom lip, then it would be legit. Viper says on 5/Jan/08
I still say 6-2 1/2 at most for Schneider. Danny says on 4/Jan/08
Top of Rob's head is on the same level as Johns nose... Imo 6'2 - 6'2.5 Da Man says on 4/Jan/08
Maybe I'm off here, but I don't see more than 5.5" - 6" max between Rob and John here. What was the footwear in this pic? Anonymous says on 4/Jan/08
maximus, are you a genuine 5'10 1/2 barefoot,?? sid says on 3/Jan/08
I just cottoned onto who you are. Remember index!!! Lmao robert, I want your job. Can I swap with you please?
[Editor Rob: you'd be better off sticking to warehousing...sorry, I work hard these days, 9 hour days, minimum wage...I still can't afford a proper house, still scrounge off the family. Nothing's changed in 8 years ;)] Farzaan says on 3/Jan/08
@ Rob where was this pic taken?
[Editor Rob: the nec birmingham memorabilia show.] maximus says on 2/Jan/08
my experience is that 98% of all people exaggerate their height....hands down....its rare for me to meet someone that actually gives their true height...I've met people that claim 6'2 and are only an inch or two taller than me...I am 5'10 1/2. Anonymous says on 2/Jan/08
wow 6'3 and 175lbs, he's under weight by 10-20lbs. anonymous says on 2/Jan/08
he was a tad taller than tom welling, i guess he is 1.90 max, he seems to have 15cms on that guy in the pic 1.73 plus 15 : 1.88, but he is not straight so 1.90 must be TheMan says on 1/Jan/08
Yeah deffently 6,3 is an inch over welling who if anything is a good 6,2. OutBenchThis says on 1/Jan/08
Doesn't look any bigger than 6'2.5" 5'6 and 21 says on 1/Jan/08
I think it's the first time they have an exact height for a star. I think John is 6'3 I have all the Smallville season in dvd and honestly there are very good shots where you can see Tom and John very cleary and I think John got 1 inch over Tom. My guess is John: 6'3 and Tom Welling: 6'2 or 6'2.5. That would be the exact barefoot measure to me. RobertJ says on 1/Jan/08
nice pic Rob, did Routh look taller when you met him or Schneider? Or were they pretty much the same height
[Editor Rob: both are real hard to tell apart. Actually someone sent me a routh photo showing him looking nearer 6ft 3.5!] AAAA says on 1/Jan/08
Outstanding Pic rob... Looks 6'3 to me Alex2 says on 1/Jan/08
Vey looky to meet him Rob, happy new year Editor Rob says on 1/Jan/08
Mafia, you got it, a BIG start to 2008! Arma says on 1/Jan/08
Cool picture rob. Looks a big man and proves tom welling as being a tall like him mafia says on 1/Jan/08
hey rob...great way to start the new year........many 6'0+ guys... patrick says on 3/Dec/07
Keith, that is an old debate and never Tom looked so short, even in the first season! It has been said many times taht Tom had to look younger and really the son of John at the time, not as "Superman". A lot of us read or heard co stars or producers of the show explaining Tom ahd to play bare foot or in slippers while the others had (and still have) to play over boxes, even platforms. I have the entire show in DVD and, loving it and being rather accurate in watching it, I can assure you that except , for example, in the hospital scene, Tom does not look shorter. As tall as John and sometimes taller, yes.
Tom shorter than 6'2 is simply ridiculous and Jhon is obviously not less r=than 6'2.5 even though I think he is 6'3. Keith says on 1/Dec/07
We can clearly see that in oldie Smallville episodes. John Schneider it's taller than Tom Welling's 6'2. It's Like at least 2 inches taller than Tom. So, either Tom is shorter than 6'2 or John it's taller than what Glenn or Rob are saying. patrick says on 29/Nov/07
I agree with Dawn of course. Tom W. does not look short for all that. I see int the Dukes episode always 3 inches between them, not less;That after all, less than 8 cm and it is not that huge; just legitimates the fact "John is clearly taller"; deal. Viper says on 28/Nov/07
Im still not convinced John reaches a full 6-3. I just saw him on NipTuck last night and he looked to be in the 6-2 range compared to Kelly Carlson. He was hillarious though, playing a porn director :) Boris Kodjoe was in the same episode and he physically looked taller than John, and Im convinced that he's a full 6-3. Jason says on 28/Nov/07
''or its more likely you were not close enough to make an accurate estimation like many others such as nathan jones, big show, matt morgan, jbl and the rest...''
This wasn't during the show. It was outdoors in the wee hours, where I was right next to him. Dawn says on 28/Nov/07
I just got done watching 13 episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard. He is at least 6'3" no doubt. He always looked taller than Tom Wopat, and they both wore cowboy boots. Besides, he himself says he's 6'3". Vegas says on 28/Nov/07
Jason says on 28/Nov/07
Yeah, but some of them it's not like I tried to make an exact estimate. I changed my mind after seeing his listing and looking at photos where I thought he just didn't physically look as tall as he seemed. After considering that, I would say it's likely he was in boots (he was dressed up)/me over-estimating
or its more likely you were not close enough to make an accurate estimation like many others such as nathan jones, big show, matt morgan, jbl and the rest... patrick says on 28/Nov/07
DaMan, I saw at least I think, every photo ever made with Tom and John. I admit, of course, that some of them show Tom slightly smaller but, frankly more often taller and, in this case, always more clearly than the contrary. John told it at least two times (please, don't ask me when or where! I can't remember but I am sure of that!). Let's say they are the same...Tom could not be less than 6'2.5, in any case.
John always loooks taller in his other shows; In diagnostic murder where he embodies a very nasty but suave guy, he towers the son of Dick Van Dyke who is reasonably listed at 6'1, what he seems to be. Jason says on 28/Nov/07
Yeah, but some of them it's not like I tried to make an exact estimate. I changed my mind after seeing his listing and looking at photos where I thought he just didn't physically look as tall as he seemed. After considering that, I would say it's likely he was in boots (he was dressed up)/me over-estimating. Vegas says on 27/Nov/07
Jason says on 27/Nov/07
My impression of him was 6'1 1/2'' ... but, retrospectively, I would say he's probably 6'0 1/2'' or 6'0
what retrospectively made you change your opinion, a photo, viper's opinions, something else.
meeting a wrestler in person is the best way to determine height, not photos, videos or other people comments attempting to sway you; Jason you chop and change too much in retrospect, makes me feel you are not getting as close to these guys as you claim..... hence height estimations are a waste of time Jason says on 27/Nov/07
My impression of him was 6'1 1/2'' ... but, retrospectively, I would say he's probably 6'0 1/2'' or 6'0''. Viper says on 27/Nov/07
Jason, do you think Elijah Burke is his listed 6-1? Jason says on 27/Nov/07
It's far from scraping the bottom of the barrel; when I saw the Major Brothers billed as 6'1'', that was enough to tell me I was off. Da Man says on 26/Nov/07
I wish I could find them, AAAA. I posted them I guess about a year ago now on Tom's page. There was a whole cast shot, and a shot of Tom and John standing shoulder to shoulder. AAAA says on 26/Nov/07
DaMan. could you post some of those pics, I'd like to see them Viper says on 26/Nov/07
"you guys; still trying to pick holes in my estimations after nearly two years, lol,"
Its probably because your estimations can be wrong!!! Nobody is 100 percent perfect judging height in person. And saying that Mick is a legit 6-3 barefoot is wrong, even If you thought that. Da Man says on 26/Nov/07
Patrick, have you seen the season 1 Smallville premiere (event/party) pics with Tom and John? John was a bit taller than Tom in all of them. Personally, I trust photos like those more than Smallville photos. Even though there are numerous Smallville photos that show the two at the same height, or even with John a bit taller. I realize there are Smallville promotional photos and screen caps that show Tom taller than John, I think they are a bit suspect however. Da Man says on 26/Nov/07
There is no more than .25" difference there and, as usual, Foley's posture isn't the greatest. Footwear is basically equal. These two could very easily be the same height. Vegas says on 26/Nov/07
you guys; still trying to pick holes in my estimations after nearly two years, lol, quoting WWE.com listings is scraping the bottom of the barrel :P
the foley i met in april 2006 was 6'3 standing tall, quoting wwe.com or telling me i am wrong ain't gonna chance my mind, you guys were not there that night standing next to foley, but 4 of my friends and my brother were and they will back me up 100%. you can look at all the photos you want but i ain't gonna chance my mind unless i meet him again and he appears shorter in person!! i don't care if you don't believe me, just don't keep bringing it up time and time and time again; there are far more bizarre in person sightings on this website than foley at 6'3..... Jason says on 26/Nov/07
The WWF used to bill Foley as 6'2''. I remember when he debuted as Mankind, they had him as 6'2'' 260lbs, but then immediately inflated it to 287lbs, where it stayed ever after. You'd think if they padded his weight, they wouldn't under-bill his height... patrick says on 26/Nov/07
Simple: John does not "look" taller than Mick..."he damn' is" and he IS shorter than Tom Welling, sorry, it is, once more, obvious...I don't care about "the first seaons" and I prefer to refer to the other sand mainly, to the "off shot" pics wher Tom always, I mean always, looks clearly taller...as John admitted it at least twice. And I think John if not bragger at all is not particularly modest about his height either.
John looks 6'3 except in that incredible pic with Hasselhoff! I totally agree AAAA about that: I always saw him very tall as at least Tom Selleck (6'4). I even thought he was a bit more. I would have sworn John being shorter by an inch! He is visibly not. No less than 6'3... Viper says on 25/Nov/07
Vegas, Rob was there and he even admits that John looked taller. Mick is not 6-3. AAAA says on 25/Nov/07
Whoa!? those pics with hasselhoff are pretty crazy. He has always looked at least 6'4 to me, and even a little taller in knight rider. yet john seems right there with them. I can't supersize the pics, so I am just oing by the tumbnails, if anyone can blow them up it'd be great to see them in better detail
Vegas, I think on the shoe page rob has profiled both shoxs and tims. Foley's tims look to be he 1.5in type. There are some other tims with a heel even more pronounced than a cowboy boot, upwards of 2in I have seen without measuring, but Foley's aren't those kind. If I remeber the the shox's on the sneaker page are said to be 1.41in, so the difference is <.1 in advantage. I agree that the footwear dif is negligible.
Side note, Foley has stubby arms.
Rob, I look foward to seeing that pic. May help to come closer to unveiling the mystery of Welling as well. Vegas says on 25/Nov/07
yet he looked 6'3.5-6'4 standing next to 6'5 hillbilly jim in a video i posted, which you conveniently swept under the carpet. viper you question my estimations every chance you get (especially foley) but you quote mr mexican mentor all the time like its the truth and he provided not one grain of evidence to support his claims......
schneider is wearing 1.5" shox there, those boots of foleys are giving 1.5", cowboy boots only give 1.8", no way foleys are giving more than cowboys, lol. if foley was to stand fully tall he would be at least as tall as schneider, he is barely a 1/4" shorter there and schneider looks as tall as hasselhoff, hey maybe hasselhoff is <6'2 as well ;)
foley looked shorter than orton because he was leaning badly as he does all the time, like this Click Here and him standing straight Viper says on 25/Nov/07
I guess that makes Randy Orton 6-6 then, lol. Id say Foley has a half an inch in footwear to counter the very small lean anyway. Face it, Foley is not 6-3. Vegas says on 25/Nov/07
foley is leaning to the right there too that must be taken into account (foley leaning, say its not true) look at the position of his eyes/mouth he is losing about half an inch Click Here anyway since when are we going to ascertain foleys height from a photo, lol, he looked 4" shorter in a photo i saw a while back with orton
btw viper, Schneider has 3" on Wopcat not 2" Click Here and he is the same height as david hasselhoff Click Here seems someone was too quick to downgrade a person again, lol Viper says on 25/Nov/07
Well, that throws Vegas's 6-3 claims for Mick Foley out the window, LOL. The lowest Mick could be is 6-1 1/2. John is nothing under 6-2. John is at least 6-2 1/2 there If Mick is a full 6-2. I still think John is 6-2ish, but not quite a full 6-3. Brah says on 24/Nov/07
Nice pic Rob! Schneider is only marginally taller than Foley. Scneider in Nike Shox and Foley in boots, so the footwear looks about even. AAAA says on 24/Nov/07
what do you think of the height comp between Foley and Schnider. the footwear should be pretty close, with a .1 to .2 advantage to foley. shocks give 1.41in and those boots give like 1.5-1.7 in depending on the exact timberland model AAAA says on 24/Nov/07
Great pic rob
[Editor Rob: cheers, next year I'll put up my pic with John. Very nice guy incidentally..
He did look damn near 6ft 3 to me, he did have 1/4 inch more with those shox...but Schneider did near an inch on Foley, they had meeted a minute before and he did appear bigger.
footwear probably identical there.] Editor Rob says on 24/Nov/07
Hmm, this afternoon I took a photo of Mick Foley standing with John Schneider:

Yes, I did e-mail John Schneiders Official Website and he responded back saying that he is exactly 6ft 3in tall Da Man says on 3/Oct/07
John has looked a bit taller than Tom in a few event/party photos. There was one photo where the two were shoulder-to-shoulder, the exact same distance from the camera and John looked .25" - .5" taller than Tom. That was the most conclusive pic I've seen with the two. Viper says on 3/Oct/07
Somebody a long time ago mentioned John at 6-1 1/2 before. And yes, John has certantly looked taller than Welling before. Shiku says on 2/Oct/07
hes taller than welling? Impossible wtf? he looked 6'1 to 6'1.5 max next to welling on smallville SK says on 2/Jul/07
Let me end the debate about John's height. He is not a legit 6'3, I met him at Paintbank Virginia, during the late 1990s for a farm festival. I'm a legit 6'3 in tennis shoes and had a face to face conversation with him on level ground. John was wearing cowboy boots and we were the exact same height. I made it a point to look at his boots and they appeared to have a 1 1/2 inch to 1 3/4 inch heel. I have no doubt that his true height would be about 6'1 1/4 to 6'1 1/2 in his barefeet. In a pair of tennis shoes he would be about 6'2 1/2 at the max. John has done what virtually every celebrity has done, and that is add an inch or more to their true heights. This should come as no suprise, so lets set the record straight he is not 6'3. Unless he is wearing his cowboy boots, his true height is 6'1 1/2 barefooted and around 6'2 1/2 in normal footwear such as tennis shoes. Remember, I'm a legit 6'3 in tennis shoes and we were the exact same height while he was wearing his beloved cowboy boots. I hope this sets the record straight of his billed height of 6'3 and his ridiculous comment of being almost 6'4 on Larry King. A more accurate remark would have been almost 6'3 in a pair of sneakers. Height is like the size of one's penis, guys just can't help but to exaggerate by an inch or more. sf says on 1/Jun/07
I read the e-bay site, and he said it was actually used in one of the Dukes movies. The last bid I saw was &100,000. Viper says on 31/May/07
Ive seen that car on sale in a car magazine for only 34,000 before. One of them from the show. As a matter of fact a guy who lives down the road from me has an EXACT replica of the general lee charger. I dont think its one of the ones from the show. I beleive he just customized it from the ground up to look like one. Either way it looks amazing. Looks exactly like it. He carries it around to car shows I beleive. Its always on a trailer it seems. sf says on 31/May/07
Yes, he's selling one from one of the Dukes movies on E-bay. Viper says on 30/May/07
What kind of car? You talking about the General Lee Charger? sf says on 29/May/07
Yea - all I need is $100,000! D. Ray Morton says on 29/May/07
Cool! The red one with the numbers on the doors? sf says on 28/May/07
I'm going to buy his car off of E-bay... anonymous says on 27/May/07
i think he is probably 6`2.5 however. he was the same height as tom welling on smallville. anonymous says on 27/May/07
looks pretty darn tall in the dukes of hazaard. easily 6`2.5-6`3.25. Patrick says on 8/May/07
OK, let's say he's not lying Viper but slightly exagerating in claiming 6'4 but not in saying "almost". He's really tall and not less than "almost 6'3" for sure. Viper says on 1/May/07
Well, he is an actor and Im not surprised hes lying. Kal-El says on 30/Apr/07
I believe John is telling the truth, he doesn't need to lie like other actors about his height. Viper says on 30/Apr/07
He doesnt look almost 6-4. Funny, Tom Welling says he is almost 6-3 as well. Editor Rob says on 30/Apr/07
2002 Larry King:
"I did get too skinny. The other side of being overweight, once you've lost the weight. I got -- I'm almost 6'4" and my lightest, after my heaviest, was 175 pounds, and" Anonymous says on 28/Apr/07
I watch alot of Dukes of Hazzard reruns and looking at John then he seems to be about 6 foot 4.5 but on the show he wears big cowboy boots so he is most likely around 6 foot 2-3 and Jude Stringfellow John was 12 in 1972 he was born in 1960 and lied about his age to get on the Dukes he even admits it on interviews on the DVD seasons. Viper says on 26/Apr/07
Well, the man is listed at 6-3 everywhere, and he flat out does not look like a 6-4 man. So yes, Id say he was lying. Jason, I remember you telling me about that. Kal-El says on 26/Apr/07
i agreed with you Viper on that, almost every celebs lie about their height(people in general puts an inch, sometimes 2 inches and sometimes 3 inches!) but some celebrities who are in fact tall doesn't need to lie about it. I guess most short and average celebrities(and normal people)lie about their height.But like i said before i think John doesn't need to lie about his height. Viper says on 26/Apr/07
Well, celebs lie about their height all the time. Jason says on 26/Apr/07
Viper, one of my former best friends is friends with Schneider and used to go to his house and hang out with him. I lost contact with her in 2003 though ... really kicking myself that that happened lol! Her husband is 6'5'' so we could have really nailed this one otherwise... Kal-El says on 26/Apr/07
In my personal case i am 6ft2 and i don't need to lie about my height. For example, if i was a famous actor like John is, i wouldn't raise my height on an interview like you suppose that John Schneider did . Don't you think that Viper? Viper says on 25/Apr/07
No way is Schneider 6-4. Hes listed at 6-3, so hes not over that even. I personally peg him at 6-2 1/4. Kal-El says on 24/Apr/07
On one interview he said he was 6'4, why a tall person like him would lie about his height? He doesn't need to. patrick says on 13/Apr/07
Very nice words Jude! I love to read such human testimonies.
Even i did not have my own opinion, i would be inclined to trust someone like you more than "others". I happen to agree with you and not only about his 6'3 height but regarding his heart; This guy is how Tom Welling described him, a real "father", he "is" J.Kent and that is some compliment! Write again if you can Jude! Jude Stringfellow says on 17/Mar/07
I met John in St. Mountain, GA in 1972. He was 6'3" then at 19, and I doubt he's grown or shrunk. Saw the man again several times in 1981-1983...hotter, yet very very hot - and still 6'3". Gorgeous smile, big heart, gotta love the man for his walk with Jesus! Hi John! (1/2 a velvet heart) Anonymous says on 14/Mar/07
does anyone have a photo of the kind of boots john schneider wears in the duke of hazzard? patrick says on 23/Feb/07
Yes, Tom WELLING is 6'3 (or more?) but Tom Wopat, i think is 6'; not less unless he always wears lifts! patrick says on 11/Dec/06
Yes...if Tom Wopat is 5'11 and everybody knows he is not!
I think Tom is 6' and so, Jhon is what he look like: 6'3;
Always the same method considering in shrinking everybody who could prove an actor is taller than you estimate him; That is not really honest and in philosophy, it is called "reductionism". Viper says on 11/Dec/06
Looks around 6-2 there with Wopat. bo says on 21/Nov/06
John Schneider is 6'4". I found that out from John himself. mc says on 10/Nov/06
Well today John Schneider was in town for a charity event, he did an autograph line (he stood the whole time) and showed his movie (Collier & Co) with the proceeds going to charity. I was in line a long time watching him. At first I thought he was not very tall (about 6'1") he was in ordinary sneakers. But, it turns out he was just slouching a lot. When someone tall would have their picture taken with him, he would stand up strait and he was 6'3" easy. When someone shorter was with him he would slouch and lean in to not look so tall. He was standing up strait, but normal with the tall people not standing on one leg, or trying to be closer to the camera, etc. He did not have to worry about his height, or try to fake it. Instead you could tell it was the opposite, he was slouching not trying to stand out most of the time like someone conscious of their towering over people. patrick says on 18/Oct/06
In the midst of the street? Anyway, the point is "why": that would be interesting to know the reason why the director did this and why, everytime it is about Tom's height, "something" seems making things out of focus;
The proof: "this" very site ! Besides Sly's and Tom Cruise's ones, no other sounds cause as much as controversy; That's a "sociological phenomenon" !
Even in an episode of the second season, Chloe tells Clark "from your 6 foot...WHATEVER" ; Why not saying the real height if not to keep it in the haze of "mystery" and make people talk !!!
Because that is exactly what is happening; it's never clear; For me it is but it is my opinion based upon my own perception and some photos more than statements;
i take the John's one about his 6' friend as much more valid than fancy ones i read here! Do you know that in many other sites devoted to Smallville or not, Tom is most often evaluated as being 6'3 and 6'4?
Frankly, i hope to be able to get to SV set next year since a 7th season is probable to end it in order to judge by myself! If i am possibly able to get close to them! Viper652 says on 17/Oct/06
I personally dont think it was a box. If anything it was probably a sidewalk. patrick says on 9/Oct/06
OK, i know it is not usual to call on Editor Bob as referee butthere, frankly, Mr. Viper's obvious bad faith NEEDS someone being judge and unbiased, capable to read each one's arguments.
I repeat: when it's about Jared, he is NOT, he CANNOT be upon a platform (even though that is so easy to see that his pals are also on it!) BUT, when it's about Tom: he is on a slope or on a box or JS is barefoot or what else?
Mr Bob, "you be the judge" not about J Schneider's and thus, Tom's height but about the credibility of Chibifibi's and "I" (and John about Tom's article)arguments.
In advance, thanks. Viper652 says on 6/Oct/06
Well, its still inconclusive evidence since you cant see their feet. And to be perfectly honest it truly does look that way to me. patrick says on 6/Oct/06
WHAT DI I TELL YOU ?
Of course, Tom HAS to be on a slope while Jared CANNOT BE!
That is really too funny! What slope ? And above all, WHY a slope ?
Disheartening, discouraging and finally hopeless ! Viper652 says on 5/Oct/06
Actually it looks like Welling is standing on a slope, but you really cant tell since you cant see their feet. patrick says on 5/Oct/06
To Chibifibi: THANKS A LOT ! At last, someone who piked up the picture i am talking about FOR MONTHS!!!
So, what do Mrs Viper and Anonymous will object this time:
1/ Tom is upon a box
2/John is kneeling
3/ John actually is 5'11
4/ Annette O'Toole is actually a dwarf munchkin
5/ that happens to be a "trick" and Tom is not "really" there
6/ we are all blind and do not see that Annette is effectively much taller BUT disavantaged with angle shot
7/ it happens to be a very good drawing made by order from me to an artist JUST to allow me to be right
So, that photo gets matched to what is sooo easily visible and confessed by John many times.
I confess being looking forward to read the "irrefutable" arguments that won't fail to present;
That photo is taken in front of them: no special angles, no special position, no anamorphosis due to wide angle objective. A plain, very common right snapshot.
Bravo again Chibifibi ! Viper652 says on 27/Sep/06
Schneider never looked 6-3 on the Dukes of Hazard. 188-189 Max. patrick says on 27/Sep/06
i am in any way obsessed with anything (no feel offended) but i am VERY interested in a fact i already wrote about here: how strange it is to notice how THIS guy creates such a polemic !
i ran through many other actors listed in here and i never got its macth;
i am sure Tom would be very amazed with all these questions about his height !
the point is even in other sites it seems that that question comes back too very often; some saying Tom is "giantlike", others saying he is almost normal;
Only Sylvester Stallone and Tom Cruise seem to be also likewise "in question";
I feel personaly that interesting; that reveals how "we" interpret what we watch; "i" see differently than "you" and others see; here is something to be noticed; I magine how crucial it is if we were witnesses in a "case" !
frankly, i and all people around me, see him as i describe below; i do not say i am right but just tha's the way i see him; maybe he is an ET able to create images in each of our minds (joke);
it is true that some people look taller than they really are; for Ted Dawnson is one of them; i saw him at Paramount studios; he was close to me and seemed very big and tall; that come from his long long head (presumably);
It's amusing how many people are mistaken about Sean Connery's height; he ALWAYS is stated at much more than he is; yet, he's always a bit slouching; that comes from something "in him"; some guys are "tall within themselves";
question of "soul" i presume; Here is what i am interested in; Rock Hudson looked like a giant more than (young) Clint Eastwood whom is not a man to be neglicted; Clint is a great soul for me; so, what all of that, all these subjective impressions are depending on ? I DO NOT KNOW !
The fact is John and Tom went well together; they had a touch of magic as if they really were father and son; That's, besides, what says John Schneider (who claimed being a bit smaller than Tom in an interview ! ouch !!) sf says on 27/Sep/06
My "Superstars" '83 book has him at 6'4", for whatever that's worth. And it also says, "When John isn't working on his TV series or singing on various TV specials, he keeps himself busy writing music, playing tennis, and reading horror stories." Good to know... Anonymous says on 26/Sep/06
Oops, I meant to say Welling is shorter. LOL.
All kidding aside though, I seriously think both are the same height. Even if your analysis is right I wouldn't put them both over 6'3", because Welling's model card listed him at 6'2" (how can he be much taller then that?!? lol). And seriously even if they manipulate the effects Welling still cannot be much taller (no more than an inch, just look at proportions). I would give Welling 6'3", Schneider maybe a bit less after all he is getting a bit old now. If you're right on the DVD comment then that explains the recent changes in height.
I don't think we can ever know for sure. But I'm positive Welling is no more then 6'3" and I personally think he's 6'2". Maybe a tad under 6'3" for Schneider. So Schneider 6'2" and Welling 6'2.5" tops. Anonymous says on 26/Sep/06
patrick you are obsessed with Welling and Schneider to do all that crazy stuff. And I still don't believe you.
I still think Schneider is shorter and there is nothing you can do about it. patrick says on 21/Sep/06
NO, no and no again! Re-read what i wrote: in few scenes he appears shorter; besides, it's explained on a DVD bonus: "the" father should have to be "taller"; they then changed their mind;
I am re-watching all the seasons and, knowing very well the plots, i can take the time toexamine accurately the picture, frozen it all the time;
I bet my month salary on not only you just cannot see tom smaller but in most cases clearly taller than his "father"!
Everybody at home sees it because...that doesn't need nothing but not being blind!
It has been said so long and so many times that J S was taller that became a truth; I never bought it andI AM NOT ALONE (by far) NOTICING THAT!
A tip: when watching a photo or a still shot (dvd), look at the lines of perspective AND the SIZE of their respective heads, the height of their respective shoulders; sometimes a guy looks taller (or shorter) BUT the examination of the proprtions reveal that it's a play of perspective effects;
Believe me: i am a drawer and practicing that allowed me not to make a lot of mistakes!
But, nevertheles, check the DVD bonus where they talk about how they manage to transform the set to get the effects they wanted;
Check out the google picture o ftom and John and Annette where they pose and where all is revealed! soooo esay to do! Anonymous says on 20/Sep/06
What do you mean never? John appears taller well into season 4 and even in season 5. patrick says on 18/Sep/06
NEVER! Tom just a couple times appears smaller and precisely in the firts episodes of the first season ! Clark is then at the hospital;i am quite sure he was shot barefoot; apart from that, as John said on sept 13rd and Anonymous on august 7th, Tomm is clearly taller than the great John Schneider; it is so obvious and just needs to be checked out, to read the DVDs and "pause" now and then; moreover, John always does what Brandon Routh says having done in SUPERMAN returns: he pull and cranes his head up and backwards, what he didn't do in the other shows he was in before;
Nevertheless, John Schneider is clearly a legit 6'3, not less; seeign him in these other shows shows always him much taller and often bigger than anyone else. Anonymous says on 17/Sep/06
In season 1 thru 4, John appeared taller.
Now in 5, Tom appears taller at times.
Unless Tom's still growing in his late 20's, something's fishy. Viper652 says on 14/Sep/06
Well, usually John is taller tahn Welling. john says on 13/Sep/06
I don't think so Viper652. I watched an episode of SV just last night on DVD and paused more than once and each time it was clear to both my wife and I that Tom was taller. Both times they were juxtaposed and Tom had the slight edge in height. Viper652 says on 12/Sep/06
Schneider is taller than Welling for sure. john says on 11/Sep/06
I've seen every episode of SV and more often than not Tom looks slightly taller than John. It does vary though as camera angles can make a difference as well as footwear. Viper652 says on 10/Aug/06
Schneider looks 6-2 to me. He only had a couple of inches on 6-0 Tom Wopat in Dukes of Hazard. George H says on 9/Aug/06
I've seen a few episodes and to me Schneider always looked about an inch taller. Viper652 says on 8/Aug/06
Tom is closer to 6-1 in his barefeet. Anonymous says on 7/Aug/06
Nah, Tom is definately taller than John. Tom is at least 6'3" Anonymous says on 20/Jul/06
Tom is smaller, only when he wears those boots does he ever appear taller. Barefoot he's less than Schneider. They've intentionally made Schneider less than Welling in this season when compared to season one...it's all about the footwear. patrick says on 20/Jul/06
you're wrong about Tom being smaller than John "Kent" Schneider!
it is OBVIOUS (and DVD allow to check that out) that Tom is on the contrary, ONE inch or so taller than John; minimum i/2 inch;
Find the photos where they both appear with Annette O'Toole and many other shots, including the one where John has become a "ghost";
Please, fellows, OPEN your eyes !
However, John Schneider is definitly AT LEAST 6'3'' and maybe near 6'4''. Mr. R says on 22/Feb/06
Tom Wopat is about 6 foot. I met him in New York a few years ago. Karis says on 21/Feb/06
Tom Wopat is 6'1" or maybe 6'. I don't think he is 6'2" Jonathan Kent says on 25/Nov/05
i have met him and dean cain is 6" and he is about dead on 6"3 Jason says on 6/Nov/05
I used to have a good friend from LA who is friends with Schneider (she lived nearby Schneider and his family and would visit them with her husband and kids). Unfortunately I lost contact with her in 2003 but if I ever talk to her again I will be sure to ask her opinion of his height (her husband is 6'5'' so maybe she has a good idea)... CelebHeights Editor says on 22/Oct/05
Somebody (comment accidentally deleted) mentioned they emailed his official site and got a reply he was '6ft 3'. Kenshin says on 14/Jun/05
The difference between tom's and john's height is 1 inch so that would make tom 6'2 Smoke says on 7/Apr/05
It is the presence of John Schneider on Smallville that tells us that Tom Welling is slightly under 6'3", next to Schneider Tom really does look closer to 6'2" than 6'3" as many have discussed on Welling's height listing. I really do think Tom is a solid 6'2.5" (189 cm) though. |
