He looks not over 6'2" next to Chuck Finley but I gotta say 6'3" makes sense too.
mike says on 2/Mar/10
i love how u guys say he wasnt 235 when he says he was himself wow Morse says on 18/Jan/10
Always been a real fan of Kevin in his Herc days (didn't like Andromeda).
For his heigth, I do believe he was 6'3. He towered over other actors as Lucy Lawless and Bruce Campbell.
For his weight, I don't know he was 235 ponds (some 107 Kg).Could be possible.
When you are working out, like he was in his Herc days, you wouldn't see a big difference between 220 pounds (100kg) and 107 kg, especially when you are that tall. I remember myself that I didn't visually see a big difference between 85 kg and 90 kg when working out.
I did notice that he looked slimmer in Kull than in his Herc shows. No idea how that is possible :)) Maybe he didn't work out when he shot the movie or had a bad diet??? Morse says on 18/Jan/10

I am 184 cm but I really look kind of goofy.Any idea how I can build my body like Kevin Sorbo. My opinions says on 3/Jan/10
Looks very tall , Minimiun 190-191 cm, 99 % is correct from 190 to 192 cm... Anonymous says on 3/Jan/10
Giant with a heart of gold... 6'3 easy Hugh 190-192cm says on 31/Dec/09
Looks like 190cm guy mike says on 23/Dec/09
bmis r bs not many ppl who r 6 foot 3 and 220 225 aint all tht fat ya its extra weight but some people can be fit at that weight and some would make it look fat its just on the build i guess i believe sorbo was 235 in his prme id say 215 220 now tho Anonymous says on 1/Dec/09
i guess he upgrade some weight himself. look more like 210 - 220pounds at 6ft3 rob89 says on 14/Nov/09
Definitely a legit 6'3 guy, looks about that in the left pic, in the right one he looks only a little over 6'1 but has terrible posture. massive says on 12/Nov/09
he's got a bigger upper body ,,as someone noted..his hands are larger too than all of his co actors - his narrow face and rock star hair make him look thin, yet his bone structure is thick. they wanted that look for the hipness hercules factor, but without being that muscled up , he's naturally larger than most others in there - so he's a "proportionate 6.3"er" not a skinny elongated man. also, i checked...born 1958 ??WOW..looking good for his age..doing herc in his 40 ies already??? people forget that...

Says in this interview he's weighed 215 since he was 22 Hugh 191cm says on 7/Nov/09
17 stone of pure muscle, James. Sorbo is built like a house. I'm 6ft3 myself and I weigh 17.5 stone and work out pretty much every day. He does however look quite skinny on the right. Rugal Bernstein says on 4/Oct/09
He's a strong 6'3", no question. Maybe he could reach 6'3.5" when standing full stretched. James says on 25/Sep/09
Leung I must say in right pic with rob he looks quite skinny and in the left pic he looks like a very big guy in terms of build. Leung says on 25/Sep/09
as quoted at the top of the page, 235lb was at his heaviest when he muscled up to play Hercules. I would estimate that he would be around 220lb now, which is still considered overweight according to BMI calculations, but Sorbo is obviously a fit dude which proves that BMI is not accurate for some people. James says on 24/Sep/09
Leung maybe he's inflating his weight? Almost 17 stone is overweight for a man of 6'3.
He dosen't look overweight at all in your pics though. James says on 18/Sep/09
At 16 stone 11 he is overweight for his height. supermanfan380 says on 31/Aug/09
He had a decent build in some of those Herc episodes.
I would say 235, given he was not super ripped, 235 sounds realistic.
He sort of had lagging arms, but he had a thick torso, chest and back. See Kull if you don't think he ever was 235. sid says on 31/Aug/09
He looks 6'3 to me as well Johnny G says on 3/Aug/09
never was 235lbs - 6'2" maybe a little taller- but never 235lbs Hugh 191cm says on 26/Jul/09
192cm out of bed. Mathew says on 7/Jun/09
guessing legit 6'3", not higher though. dave says on 6/Jun/09
weak 6'3? no way.... hes about 6'3.5......... tell me this, if that zack levi guy or whoever, whose pic has recently been added to the page is 6'3.5 then sorbo is at least that. Anonymous says on 6/Jun/09
he looked tall to me. I would have guessed taller than 6'3" at least in person he looked everybit 6'3" if not taller. Very cool guy. Anonymous says on 5/Jun/09
Bad posture on the right. Looks well over 6'3". Lenad says on 5/Jun/09
I'd say a weak 6ft3 190-191cm Leung says on 2/Jun/09
Sorbo is a towering figure, he’s 6’3” easy. Lenad says on 2/Jun/09
I can buy 189cm at the lowest Hugh 190cm says on 19/May/09
Big solid 6ft3 guy. I'd say 6ft3.5 in the morning.
[Editor Rob: could be near 6ft 4 morning.] J.J. says on 9/May/09
Looks 6'2" on the right . But as we all know some people are built different. So 6'3" is right. Huge Halb says on 8/May/09
Rob. How do you explina the large difference in height difference in the pictures above, that is. Why does Sorbo look 2 or so inches taller in the later pictures.
[Editor Rob: there's about 1.5 inch swing I think. On the left I am standing looser than on the right, and maybe sorbo has 1/4 possibly 0.3 inch more sneaker.] jerome moses says on 24/Apr/09
kevin sorbo was in his 30's in hercules series. and was built natural , 235lbs being 6'3 seems close . my brother who is at least 6'2 is 240 lbs . not built just naturally wide shoulders and looks stocky build.... so kevin could look build naturaly 235lbs or so....just a comparison in height and built ....wide shoulders and chest makes built bigger.... sprint84 says on 13/Mar/09
Micky, at 6'10" you may not be the best judge of his height -- you tower over everyone! I know I'd have a tough time judging the height of someone 7-10 inches shorter than me. Incidentally, the difference between you and Sorbo is about the same difference between Sorbo and Rob.
I have to agree with a strong 6'3" for Sorbo -- even with casual posture. Unrelated, but he has an enormous head and hands. In that lower pic with Rob, I'd swear Rob was standing next to a seated 7-foot-plus guy. Dogstar says on 12/Mar/09
Renpic, the people who made Herc & Xena sold their costume wardrobe some years ago and I bought a Herc suit offa Ebay, which was one of Kevin's Hero costumes. I'm 5ft 11.5, and what I couldn't figure was Kev's body shape, because the trousers fit me perfectly - well, they did once I lost 2 stone, but that as they say, is another story LOL.
Anyway, my point - after much watching of Herc and comparing, I eventually figured that Kev must have a long body and short legs - proportionally speaking, for the trousers to fit me as well as they do. The top is far longer than when Kev was wearing it, which kind of makes sense. Chains says on 6/Mar/09
Jerome 5'4 to 5'6 is short 5'7 to 5'9 is average 5'10 5'12 is tall 6'0 6'3 is big 6'4 plus is giant well giant is not the professional term but this info came from this science of humans book or some crap along that term i'm sick of people saying 5'6 to 5'11 is short get your facts right people jerome moses says on 23/Feb/09
my dad seen him in hawaii at the air port , and talked to him . he said kevin sorbo 6'2 or more my dad height 6'1 , during 2004...anyways kevin sorbo is tall.. 6'ft or more is tall not really tall not short but average....most guys are under 6'1 ....im 5'10.... micky says on 5/Jan/09
I'm 6'10'' and I met him on the set and was towering over him. I'd have to say he's 6'1'', no more, no less. adam says on 22/Dec/08

He looks solid 6'1 in the bottom pic i agree with Rob taken into account his bad posture. Lenad says on 5/Nov/08
He looks a solid 188cm or a bit more. The Horse of FUNK says on 21/Oct/08
I think the 192cm makes sense. He probably rounds down. Lenad says on 16/Sep/08
Big king its Lenad not Leonad dufus! Captain Spaulding says on 16/Sep/08
Im guessing that the bottom pic shows his actual height, he looks too tall in the top one when compared to the bottom one. Either rob is barefoot in the top one lol or kevin has some cowboy boots on.
[Editor Rob: in that top photo he is almost 6ft 3 (although he has extra footwear 1/4 or 1/3 inch) but we were actually much closer in posture than in the bottom one where he has poorer stance and is more 6ft 1.25 range as I could show here.] matt Thomas says on 15/Sep/08
Nothing Below 6'3 this guy is hige Captain Spaulding says on 14/Sep/08
In the top one he looks 6'4" and in the bottom one he looks 6'2", different shoes?
[Editor Rob: he's got running shoes, either 1/4 or 1/3 inch more than my 1 inch. Bottom we both had shoes. I offered a little illustration on 12th to show how I can see the top photo as near 7 inch.] Lenad says on 14/Sep/08
Looks 187/188 range there. Lenad says on 13/Sep/08
You guys look like crime fighting partners. Kurt says on 12/Sep/08
I agree with his height of 6'3". I was an extra on the television show Just Shoot Me when he guest starred. And, yes, he is one of the most pleasant, down to earth actors you will ever meet. sobaytransplant says on 25/Jul/08
I can end the arguement, if you like. I chatted with him off and on for about 2 hours at a DVD signing at the Wal-Mart store in Hemet, CA a few years ago. (My daughter is an employee there, so I was one of the few privileged folks who got private time in the back of the store with him.) I'm almost 6' myself and I felt like he was towering over me. So I asked him... "Seriously, how tall are you?" He says he is 6'3." And yes, he DOES seem much taller than that because he's lost so much weight between Hercules and Andromeda. He's VERY long, lanky now... not buff AT ALL like he was during Hercules. Looks like any other guy you'd see walking around in WalMart. (The REALLY good-looking ones, that is!) He's also VERY fair-skinned in person with freckles that "almost" show through the skin. And his eyes are REALLY, REALLY blue. SUPER, SUPER nice guy, and even kind-of shy. If he wasn't married with 3 kids, I would have chained myself to his ankles at that very moment! So, there you go! John Jay says on 20/May/08
A legitimate 6'foot3er Sorbo is. A big fella indeed perfect for the Hercules role. Yaspaa says on 6/May/08
235lbs would have been in his Hercules days,does'nt look over 210 now. Kunluman says on 26/Mar/08
Joakim Agren, when exactly did you measure Kevin Sorbo? I guess, Sorbo was 6'2 3/4" during your measurement and 6'3" or 6'3 1/4" straight out of bed. Ridley says on 23/Mar/08
Sorbo is huge. He looks more 6'4", not 6'3". BlackRay says on 15/Mar/08
He does look around 6 ft 3 in, 6 ft 2.5 in at least. looks the same height as Brandon Routh. gton says on 3/Mar/08
wow hes a big guys 6-3 looks right Jake Is Back says on 2/Mar/08
I will agree he can't be less than 6'2" or more than 6'3.5". Jake Is Back says on 2/Mar/08
Read my whole comment little boy. Thats why I said the difference proves he slouches pretty bad sometimes. And I think that if he's not 6'3", he's close to it. Jeez, I don't know why anyone would respond to a comment that is less than three lines long without reading it! Cetto says on 1/Mar/08
Well, Sorbo could reach 6'4" but I'd better give him 6'3.5" cuz he really looks that tall. Little Boy says on 29/Feb/08
Get Real Dude! You are looking at pictures of him slouching! You said..."looks 6'3 on top...6'1 on bottom"...Dude...Use your brain...Kevin Sorbo is no less than 6'2 no more than 6'3.5! Jake Is Back says on 28/Feb/08
Looks 6'3" on top and 6'1.5" on the bottom. Assuming he's 6'3" (which should be the case within a fraction of an inch unless he wore lifts which I think is doubtful), this height descrepency proves he can slouch pretty heavily. ChazBadlwin says on 28/Feb/08
he was ONE GORGEOUS HERCULES..but I like his little friend .... TNTinCA says on 28/Feb/08
For some reason, Sorbo's height always seemed obvious. When I saw him in TV shows, I immediately thought 6'3". Not sure why but I guess his physique and posture leave little ambiguity about his height. Solid 6'3" in my opinion. Anonymous says on 6/Jan/08
Sorbo is even slouching in the top photo. 6ft 3in. Not a surprise. He could even be 6ft 3.5in if Lucy Lawless was indeed 5ft 10.5in, but 6ft 3in not a surprise. Raynor says on 20/Dec/07
He looks 6'3 with Rob. And I think he looks better with longer hair. Anthony says on 19/Dec/07
He's got a mega-slouch in the bottom pic. lillo thomas says on 19/Dec/07
He look 6-3 to me in the pic above . In the pic below he dont look like a legit 6-3 but I still think that he is a legit 6-3 . He look that height in many pics and videos. Anthony says on 15/Dec/07
Sorbo actually looks younger and bigger in the more recent photo. And definitely a legit 6'3 in both pics. C. says on 15/Dec/07
Wow. He's a big guy. In Hercules he even looked taller. Like 6'4". But here, he definitely looks 6'3", the height he says he is. One of the few who doesn't fib about his height. But why would he anyway? Dylan Hunt says on 14/Dec/07

Sorbo loooks taller because he has a long neck Erik22224 says on 8/Dec/07
Hes only 6'3 wow we need a new herculese 6'8 at least Big Show says on 3/Dec/07
When he played Hercules he was on training programm which required him to train after each day of filming, just for him to stay buffed. Obviously when he quit playing Hercules he also stopped with this draining training programm. He lost about 20 lbs between Hercules and Andromeda. RobertJ says on 30/Nov/07
hmm maybe because the show is over? c'mon now. AshnarLynx says on 28/Nov/07
He looks like he's shrunk considerably in physique in the latter years. Does anybody know why? I also once read on a site that he has lost many pounds since his Hercules days. kenneth says on 18/Nov/07
his a barefoot 190 ~ 191cm most.. he don't looks above this height.. dina raafat says on 1/Oct/07
i read in many sites that kevin sorbo is between 6ft3 and 6ft4 (191.cm,193cm) and ireally believe that because in andromeda steve basic is 185 and when he stand infront of kevin to taik with him kevin looked taller than him and also when kevin stands beside tyr anasazy (keith hamillton)who is 6ft4 they approximatelly have the same height and kevin sorbo really weight 235 in hercules then he lost 20 pounds of muscles between the end of hercules and the begining of andromeda in five years (1995,2000)so his weight became 215lbs and iwant to tell you guys that kevin sorbo is taller than any one of us could expect,he is also a very big guy in size that is what the people who saw him said and that is why he was the perfect person for the role hercules as he is very tall,huge,bread and too sexy Derek says on 9/Sep/07
He doesn't look under 6'3". Agree Rob? Brad says on 19/Jun/07
Kevin Sorbo and Kevin Smith (Ares God of War, Iphicles) both state their heights as 6'3". Yet Sorbo always looked taller than Smith. So is Sorbo taller than 6'3" or is Smith shorter? Josh says on 12/Jun/07

Joakim, I seen your grid now, I couldn't see it at airport.
Anyway, as I say head size is a tricky thing but mine in that position isn't 10 inches, its closer to 9.5 in reality although I had a bit more goat beard back then.
Click Here
See pic above, technically the 3 lines would represent 6ft 1 mark using 3 different calculations:
1) top green line would be using the pupil measurement, but because my head is like turned very slightly it is slightly trickier than if I was truly looking straight ahead.
2) The Blue line slightly below shows 6ft 1 if the distance of my head was 9.5
3) The orange if that distance was 10 inches.
The distance between those lines I marked for my head is really closer to 9.5 though. Joakim Ågren says on 19/May/07
I dont like rounding up:). Even though mathimaticly it is okay to round up from 0.5 and above I dont like doing so with height. I try to be as precise as possible hehe:) so to me 6'3" is 190.50CM and 6'4" 193CM.
Regarding the head size. I guess that I have always made the wrong assumption that Sorbos head is 10.25"(26CM)long but I guess I might be wrong about that. Maybe Sorbo dont have such a large head as I thought if so maybe it is 25CM (10")making his upper-eylevel 12.5CM from the top if so the difference in the picture is 14CM because you are exactly at his lower eye level and assuming his eyes are 1.5CM wide that makes it 14CM. I have also layed out a grid over the picture and I can see that both of your heads seems identical in size. If so then we can verify his head size by measuring yours. So Rob exactly how long is your head? :)
Here is the picture I made:
Click Here
[Editor Rob: six three is rare in that the centimetre value lies smack bang in the middle between 190 and 191. The round to nearest function in the programming language means in that case round it to 191. I store everything in inches/feet. Yes, ther isn;t much difference, its same with another one I was checking my head against, brandon routh, not much difference there either.
I'm at an airport on my phone so can't see your grid, but head size varies a bit depending on tilt of course, I can't remember the tilt here I'd have to look at pic, but slight positive tilt upwards goes closer to nine inch, slight down close to ten, but measuring proper head length is harder than the pupil distance. Only thing with pupil distance is if you tilt your head to side and aren't looking dead straight towards camera you have to adjust it a very small amount aswell. Sometimes head length is better, other times pupil distance when there is too much side tilting] Joakim Ågren says on 18/May/07
6'3" is not 191CM but 190.50CM. I have made a qualified estiment of his height by watching almost all episodes of Hercules, Andromeda and also his later appearence in the OC show and I estimate him to be 190CM which is 6'2.75"
He is not 191CM
As for the picture above. I can see that Rob has an unusually big head for his relatively short height. His head is the same lenght as Sorbos. This tells me that Rob never reached his full height potential and was most likely destined to be considerably taller maybe 5'11" or taller but something hindered him during his growth period. Anyway the height difference between the two above seems to be 14.5CM(5.75") but Sorbo is hunching abit so he probably is a full 17CM taller when standing straight making him 6'2.75"
191CM(6'3.25") is out of the question!
[Editor Rob: you are correct on not having below average but slight above average head for five eight, a necessary requirement to encase a large brain ;P six three is one of those where the foot and inch is rounded to nearest centimetre, although read the very bottom of the thread.
not quite five point seven five inches in the pic though. You must be using some assumptions about Sorbo's or my head length...the thing is, in a lot of wide angled portrait shots they do illustrate difference, vertical compression is really small. The majority of people overestimate it a little, even I do that with pics. I've posted proof of my pupil distance being about six point four centimetres on the lazenby thread, who incidentally is closer to five eleven and three quarters than people would imagine...] lillo thomas says on 18/May/07

When Hercules started they listed Sorbo as 191cm (which is a strong 6'3), and they still listed him at this height when he filmed Kull the Conqueror in 1997.
When I saw the TV-shows that were aired before the series started, I actualy thought Sorbo was somewhere in 6'5, so I was kinda surprised that he was 'only' 6'3 lol. ice says on 30/Jan/07
Does anybody remember when Hercules was at its peak? I could have sworn they had him at 6'4. I believe the 6'3 (190cm). I just find it funny that they tried to squeeze in even more height for him. If it would have lasted a little longer, they would have had him at 6'5! LOL Derek says on 21/Jan/07
Kevin looks a solid 6'3", and Bobby Bonilla is 6'1" tops. titan says on 10/Jan/07
I think he realy is 6'3. I'm a big Xena and Hercules fan, and he always looked about 3 inches taller than Lucy Lawless. (who you have here at 5'10, but I think she's closer to 5'11) venus says on 10/Oct/06
He has a great body, but his torso is rather short. His legs make up for his tallness, and his head is rather large. 6'3, I believe him. guy says on 1/Oct/06
kevin sorbo could be more than 6'3" TNTinCA says on 22/Sep/06
215 is much more likely based on his physique. Especially in the Hercules days. Nothing more than that.
He was not an avid bodybuilder; he weight trained to stay in shape but he is more ectomorphic than mesomorphic.
But yes, I can see a 43 chest for him. I am 5'10" and an avid bodybuilder and my chest is a 42. Looking at pictures of him, he does have a chest that is larger relative to his other muscles. So based on his larger height and skeletal structure, a 43 chest is likely. Or rather was likely since I don't think he is lifting like he used too.
Big Show says on 28/Jun/06
That baseball player looks 6'1.5. Kevin isn't even standing completely straigth, but is still a good inch taller. He's probably 6'3 in his shoes.
[Editor Rob: that's why I wonder about some of the baseball heights out there, can they be trusted...] Big Show says on 20/Apr/06
During Kull the Conqueror Kevin weighed 215 lbs. He was at his peak back then, so I don't think he ever weighed more than that. I could definately see him at that weight, he's a pretty muscular guy.
A 43" chest is possible, his chest was probably his most impressive bodypart. I'm a pretty fanatic powerlifter myself, but my chest is not as huge as his. Mine's about 37 inches. Seeing the fact that he's taller than me and his chest is bigger, I think that a chest of 43" is possible. Mr T says on 31/Mar/06
Mmm Rob if u are 1.73cm he looks more like 1.85cm , if he really is 1.91 hes head should be almost above you.
[Editor Rob: yes, I agree that in this picture, visually this is what a 186, maybe 187cm man looks like beside me...if he was standing with same stance, but he leaned a little down for the pic, that accounts for some cm...] ice says on 24/Mar/06
Maybe you're right. But a 43" chest on TV? Tv really does make people look bigger. For example Mia Tyler always looked HUGE, but come to find out she wears a 11/12. So his 43" chest would look like a 45". I was thinking the 41" range. Jason says on 22/Mar/06
I can believe the 43'' chest, but not the 235lbs. A 43'' chest won't look as big on a guy as tall as him (he's at least 6'2 1/2''). I reckon he really weighed about 205 yeah, when he was in Hercules. He was friggin' Hercules, so of course they were gonna embellish his weight. ice says on 21/Mar/06
LOL, he was not 235. ON CAMERA he would either look fat, or like a body builder. He was neither. he appeared to be a medium sized muscular guy. I don't even think the 215 fits. I say 200-205. That on screen would look like 215 to us... oh yeah, he also claimed to have a 43 inch chest on a few websites. Embellishment? yes? no?
[Editor Rob: probably most surprising thing about him was he just wasn't anywhere near his hercules days, maybe the camera literally added another 10lbs to his frame...no idea about chest sizes really] Jason says on 5/Jan/06
Arnold (although I've indeed seen 257lbs listings for him on the internet) said in one of his books, forget which one - may have been education of a bodybuilder - that he's never weighed more than 245 - 250lbs in his life. He used to compete at 225 - 235lbs. Cobra says on 5/Jan/06
Sorbo is 6ft3, that`s clear, he always looked, taller than The Rock if I compare (but maybe because of the built, he is not so massive), but 235 pounds never.
In the Hercules days Sorbo was a well defined, 6ft3 215 lbs guy.
In Hercules 215 puounds ester says on 4/Jan/06
apparently arnold weighed up to 257 lbs. could it by any chance be possibe that kevin did weigh 235 after all? i've read in a couple of sites where he weighed 215 since the age of 22, and adding 20 pounds at that height isn't overly visible, so it's possible. and i also believe he's 6"3 CelebHeights Editor says on 22/Aug/05
From 13thStreet.com, "I kind of had a movie that looked like it was going to happen. I got okayed by the studio. I got okayed by the director, okayed by the producers, by everybody, and then the star nixed me at the last minute. I won't say his name, but suffice it to say I wasn't surprised, because there are a lot of insecure people in this business, and I think he was afraid I might upstage him to some degree on the set. [That's] my opinion and my agent's opinion. It's the business. A lot of actors don't want to work with me because I'm 6'3" and they're 5'7". That's the way it is." Jason says on 12/Jun/05
I belive he's around 6'3'', but if he was 235 pounds in Hercules I'm the Crown Prince of Sheba lol! |
