Star Trek première photos revealed a lot about these guys. You can find them all side by side on different stages, in a wide range of foot wear and from that I gathered:

Karl Urban, weak 6 footer
Zach Quinto, 6 footer
Chris Pine, strong 6 footer
Eric Bana, Strong 6ft 1
Jackman says on 23/Jan/10
In Ghost ship he looked about 2 inches taller than 5'10.5 listed Ron Eldard and Desmond Harrington. I'd say a weak 6'1, 185 on a good day.
DMEYER says on 21/Jan/10
MORE SIX FT EVEN

judging by this photo i'd say 5ft 11in max

Hugh, stating the same thing over and over again is not going to make it any truer. You have 6 replies in a row, and they seem to indicate that you cant gauge height for sh*t.

In the older photos Karl Urban was barely an inch taller than Diesel. And in the more recent photos, Urban was a fraction shorter than 6ft Pine (who is probably more like 184 cm).

6'1 would make him taller than Quinto and Pine which clearly isnt the case.

I have noticed that you peg everyone at 6'1. I assume this has something to do with your own height???
Hugh 190-192cm says on 29/Dec/09
A shade over 6"1 (6"1.25)
Hugh 191cm says on 23/Dec/09
Looks taller than 6"1 in a lot of photos
This 191cm guy is quite cool says on 18/Dec/09
Looked 187-188cm next to Viggo Mortesen aswell.

[Editor Rob: the name is too long, please change it back to the hugh191.]
Hugh 191cm says on 27/Nov/09
For me 185cm and 188cm are impossible. So somehwhere inbetween is okay.
Hugh 191cm says on 26/Nov/09
I'm going with 186cm because he was at least 2 inches taller than Viggo Mortesen
Hugh 191cm says on 17/Oct/09
186-187cm in DOOM.

6'6 are you insane!!!!!!! google images search him with eric bana who is a legit 6'2. you will find bana is taller. can i have wateva ur on

6'6 for the guy interviewing them. I'll look up the video tomorrow. He was speaking to them about the Star Trek film. Hes a member of 3news NZ.
I remember he was with the Prodigy band and they all looked dwarfed. They all looked 5'6.
Hugh 191cm says on 13/Oct/09
185-186cm.
Anonymous says on 6/Oct/09
I think thats what seperates Urban from say vin, stallone,pitt..etc....he doesnt seem to wear lifts. The reason being is that he is a legit 6'to 6'1"...without shoes.
gaspergoo fisherman says on 29/Sep/09
Its obvious he is not short...he never comes across like that....like cruise, pacino, hoffmam etc...so at minimum.....6'...good height for a hollywood star..I agree a 6' person doesnt need lifts...considering they are right at around 6'1" or more with shoes.
Rugal Bernstein says on 28/Sep/09
I would give him 185cm, not a legit 6'1" but 6'0.75" could be it.
alexiel says on 10/Sep/09
he is 183 cm still tall
anonymous says on 6/Sep/09
I thought Chris Pine was 6'1".....so 6' is about right for Urban...pretty decent hieght...considering 6'1" with regular shoes
anonymous says on 30/Aug/09
Urban is probably 6'.....tall enough and definetly not short..doesnt need lifts.
Anonymous says on 30/Aug/09
lol @ "He was clearly shorter than Pine and Quinto in Star Trek and they are both 6'1" so he has to be shorter.". Nonsense, Urban is clearly a steady 6ft 1... much like myself.
Hugh 191cm says on 29/Aug/09
Urban was taller than Pine by around an inch.
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Aug/09
Looked only 1-2inches shorter than the Rock
Anonymous says on 12/Aug/09
He was clearly shorter than Pine and Quinto in Star Trek and they are both 6'1" so he has to be shorter.
Emanuel says on 12/Aug/09
I think 6'1 is a bit generous. I'd say maybe 6'0 - 6'0.5. Although in LOTR, he looked huge, mind you that was probably because of all the armour and weapons he had which made him look more intimidating lol
Hugh 191cm says on 11/Aug/09
Looked about an inch shorter than bana so a solid 6ft1 maybe 6ft1.5.

Rika says on 6/Jun/09
ON a local tv show called C4. One of the new hosts went to greet the cast of Startrek.
Now i say this guy is 6'6, why?, because all the actors looked up when speaking to him. Most of the actors are listed at 6'1.
Karl Urban looked to be the taller of the cast. He was the only one who could look eye to eye with the host while the others tilted their heads back.
Hugh 190cm says on 3/Jun/09
I did see 187cm in Riddick and LOTR.
Hugh 190cm says on 3/Jun/09
He was a good 2 inches taller than Viggo Mortesan so between 6ft1 and 6ft2 sounds good. 187cm.
Hugh 190cm says on 3/Jun/09
6ft1-6ft2.
Ivana says on 26/May/09
Chris Pine seems to be closer to 6'1", I don't know why he is listed as 6'0".
cinemagoer says on 17/May/09
that's true. he does not look 6'1'' at all next to suspected 6'0 pine, at any commercial photo for star trek premiere. he's always shorter.
weird.
mikec says on 4/May/09
Click Here doesn't even look 6ft here!(beside 6ft chris pine)
Ace says on 19/Apr/09
Big King, the Rock has never technically claimed 6`5, but he was often listed at that height lol. Anyway, i don't remember there being 4 inches between Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban. More than 2-2.5.
Rusty says on 4/Apr/09
Because the rock might be wearing bigger shoes, urban may be slouching, or maybe the rock really is 6'5" as he has claimed.
Marlon says on 22/Feb/09
for some reason in Ghost ship he doesn't look more than an inch taller than either Desmond Harrington or Ron Eldard (both just over 5'10)
but most other films 6'1 seems about right

Big King says on 20/Sep/08
Couldn't agree with you more bro. Urban is even not a hair thin higher than 185cm. 185cm is exactly rounded 6'0 3/4" and if the new zealand acting agency listed him as 185cm, then you could change Urban's height to 6'0 3/4". 6'2" is a fat joke for Urban because The Rock looked almost four inches taller than Urban.

you're crazy.... Urban looked at most 2 inches shorter than the rock in doom !
Anonymous says on 7/Sep/08
I agree with 'Big King'. Just watched 'Doom'. Dwayne Johnson was sporting a shaved head, while Urban had about an inch of hair and Dwayne was clearly taller, by a margain of three inches at least. It's odd, because he looks tall LOTR and The Bourne Ultimatum. In fact he looked somewhat taller than Orlando Bloom (solid 5' 10") and Viggo M. (5' 11")in 'The Two Towers'. I think he's 6' 1", but no more.
alfredmcluvian says on 28/Aug/08
Well, actually, most of European countries use "40, 41,.., 47 etc."
brother_h says on 20/Mar/08
damn i wish i came on before.

its EUR and it says 48. in newzealand it says 13 and US its 14
Anonymous says on 1/Jan/08
haha my bad =]
johnp ur right its EUR that uses inches. well i think their inches.
so yea
my shoe size is 13NZ 14US 48EUR.
JohnP says on 31/Dec/07
You mean EUR, not UK, right, brother_h? In UK, they have a shoe size system similar to the US, just one size smaller (14US is 13UK).

It's the French shoe size system that uses 46, 47 and so on...
brother_h says on 15/Dec/07
He's leaning in both pics -_-.

and this is might be useless info for you guys but i bought some new shoes and realized they felt to small. i always thought i had size 12 NZ and 14 US and 48UK. then i looked an my new shoes and my old shoes(the old ones were faded cept for the US and UK sizes).
on the new ones they were 12NZ 13US 46UK and my old ones said ?NZ 14US and 48UK. so i found out i had 13 NZ shoes. then i compared my height on an american height chart and then my NZ one. im 6'1 on my NZ height, but when i checked the US height it was 6'2.
i hope i didnt waste my time on that.
Troja says on 28/Nov/07
NO, no. With Viggo and Bruce, he was leaning a lot, but he's still taller than them. Look at their shoulders! He is definitely 6'1.
Anonymous says on 16/Nov/07
Here is another picture of Urban with 182 cm Bruce Hopkins. Not much difference in height. Click Here

Rob, Please review Urbans height. I would say he is around 183-184 cm
Anonymous says on 16/Nov/07
Urban with 5'11 Viggo Mortensen Click Here
what do you think?
Anonymous says on 19/Oct/07
Yea, rock is leaning quite a bit, and if you take into consideration that Urbans hair makes him look taller, whereas Rock is bolding, I would say there is a 3 inch difference between them.

Urban imo is 183-184 cm
Vegas says on 19/Oct/07
rock (leaning in a photo,shock horror, lol) and urban Click Here looks about 2" difference there.
Anonymous says on 18/Oct/07
Dwayne and Urban were wearing the same boots in the movie. I am posting pictures to back up my claims, hopefully you can do the same.
brother_h says on 15/Oct/07
the rock may have wore uber boots in doom to look taller. karl is definatly 6'1. my mum says hes as tall as my brother who is 6'2. hes on shortland street.
Anonymous says on 15/Oct/07
We need more conclusive photos, but I doubt he is the full 6'1
Starfish says on 14/Oct/07
He's 6'0.5 at most nothing more.
Anonymous says on 9/Oct/07
6'2?? No way man, Watch Doom, In no scene does he look even close to 6'3 Rock. Here is a preview where they couldnt have messed with positioning, and Urban looks several inches shorter Click Here

Could he be less than 6'1?
AshnarLynx says on 5/Oct/07
I saw several photos of him standing next to Viggo Mortensen. He looked a couple inches taller at least, maybe three. I think this guy is somewhere between 6'1 and 6'2. 187 probably.
Dino says on 10/Aug/07
Is it all that serious? Words like "quite a bit taller", "quite a bit shorter", "VERY much shorter", yada, yada, yada. Who is the authority on what is 'tall' or what is 'short'? Maybe there is a standard chart or the going rate to go by in the world. In society, it is a common perception for a male to be considered on the 'tall' end if he is 6'0" or above. Maybe it is determined by some Census. I am an amateur bodybuilder and I have met a few IFBB Professionals (Jay Cutler, Gustabo Badell, Victor Marinez and Vince Taylor). They have all been shorter. That is not saying that they are "short". I met a few WWF/WWE wrestlers. Sheldon Benjamin, and Chris Benoit and I can say that their height sometimes differ from a persons individual perception. I guess it is interesting to find that 'you' are the same height or taller than a famous person that you preceive as being tall on television.
patrick says on 28/Jul/07
beside Dwayne Johnson in DOOM looks about 5cm taller.. therefore Dwayne Johnson is only about 190cm.. Karl Urban's looks this height 185cm tall at his movie..
TNTinCA says on 21/Jul/07
I would have thought he was taller. Seemed to stand quite a bit taller than Diesel in the Chronicles of Riddick. Than again, Vin's height has always been suspect. :-)
Dan says on 24/Feb/07
6'1 would be the right height for him. He was quite a bit shorter than the Rock in Doom.
Moke says on 18/Feb/07
think he's a bit taller. about 6'2...in my eyes he looks in DOOM not that much shorter than dwayne johnson..maybe 1 inch
Answer says on 2/Nov/06
Dwayne Johnson ("The Rock") is 6'3" according to this site, and if you watch Doom, I think that Urban looks VERY much shorter than him. Well, it was only in one scene I noticed that, maybe it was just the angles who was bad... but he really looked shorter, unless The Rock weared elevator shoes.
Mystique says on 29/May/06
Met him 3 years ago so I can't really remember, but I doubt that he is about 6'2"! I have a picture of him and me, there I stood on a part of the barrier (but it can't be so high?) and I look taller than him (I'm about 5'9"/176cm).
brett says on 29/Oct/05
Hes a good 2 maybe more inches taller then vin diesel here, but im not too sure if Vin is really 6ft though, only in his hugh boots he is
