Sands appears to be tall because he has a marvelous aquiline nose and high, sweeping forehead, classic "vampire" features. But if you look at his hands,
which can give away more about a person's overall build than you might think,
they are surprisingly thick, almost coarse, suggesting the powerful muscular build that is not so evident under his clothing. Sands, as Mr. R says, is probably not even a real 5'10". But a truly marvelous actor.

I just saw "Romasanta" yesterday, and he looked quite tall, much taller than he really is...I'd say about 6'1'' or 6'2''?

Rob, I agree with you that Julian looks much taller on film. I expected to look at him eye to eye, but I had to look down more than an inch, and almost 2. My 5-8 friend would verify this. I will be returning to the play in a few weeks, so I will try to get a pic for you.

While Julian is almost 2 inches shorter than he claims, he is surprisingly more buff and solid than he seems on screen. He seems very slight of build, but is very muscular. Again, this is one of those things that does not come across on screen. It reminds me that we cannot always believe our eyes when it comes to celebs and their body types.

Now Rob, you KNOW this is wrong. I saw Julian last Friday night after the play Stuff Happens in LA. I spoke with him for a few minutes, along with my 5-8 friend. I want to give him 5-10, but he may be only 5-9.5. My friend agreed with me.

[Editor Rob: I know, I will take some height from him...but as low as 5ft 9.5, I'm finding that hard to imagine as he never looks that short...]
