Looks 184ish.

I didn't say he was "nice," a lot of people can seem "nice" and are anything but. What I actually said was, he is a gracious gentleman..there's a big difference. I was just one of dozens of people that he saw that night and he didn't know me at all. He was still a gentleman. I've met plenty of actors, stars included, that might smile, shake your hand, pose for a picture, but still make you feel like they'd rather be anywhere else. Maybe that's your experience with Mr. Fishburne, when you're trying to pose for a picture with him on the street, but it wasn't my experience nor was it any of the people I was with. Besides, how could you possibly know how the man acts "most of the time"? Do you stalk him constantly?

glenn says on 30/Apr/08

Just met Laurence tonight after his Broadway show Thurgood (he was excellent). In fact, met him in his dressing room backstage. I chatted with him close up and shook his hand. He was wearing flat slippers, no boots, lifts, etc. and was at least 5'11", if not 6 ft. And also a true gentleman, very gracious.

does look a 6ftooter next to Keanu Reeves then again is Keanu really a full 6ft1us? plus he didn't he look not much taller than 5ft10 Derek Luke in Biker Boys thats for sure

Jacka G says on 19/Dec/07
This is a little bit of a gift, he's closer to 5'11". Another bit of info,I also meet Keanu Reeves in LA just after he finished the Replacements. We had on the same type of shoes and we were exactly the same height,I am exactly 6', hope this helps

Kid-Icarus says on 29/Nov/07
If you watch Deep Cover, you can see his profile and it states he is 6'. That looks pretty much it.

redrum says on 11/Sep/07
He wasn't taller than Sam Neil in Event Horizon. They were the same height: 6'

sleuth says on 21/Dec/06
The first time I ever saw Samuel L Jackson in a movie was the 1988 Spike Lee joint "school daze" in which he looks over 4" taller than Laurence Fishburne.

Glenn says on 15/Dec/06
Yes.6ft.

dmeyer says on 13/Dec/06
so glenn and frank both agree 6 ft so he is

TNTinCA says on 19/Oct/06
Look at scenes of him next to 6'1" Keanu. He is obviously close to the same height. At least 6 feet tall.

theinformer says on 18/Oct/06
Wow! Some of you people really get me mad...how can he be 5'8...that would make Cuba like 5'6. You really need to take care of that Napoleon complex...why are you hating on tall people?

Glenn says on 21/Sep/06
Laurence is 6ft.Cuba is 5-9.

Derek says on 20/Sep/06
He looked 6'1" in Boyz in Da Hood in 1991. That is if Cuba Gooding Jr. is 5'10".

Jordan says on 19/Sep/06
he was 2 inches shorter then sean connery who some clame is a solid 6'2

kenneth says on 13/Sep/06
don't think his 184.. 178tall kevin bacon stand next to him seen 3cm shorter.. i'l' gave Lawrence Fishburne 181 or maybe 182..

Val says on 31/Aug/06
cmon..rob look at the photo with andy garcia...it's impossible for him to be 184...he's is nowhere near adrien brody or 185 pierce brosnan.

david says on 14/Jul/06
I saw Lawrence walk by on the street years ago on the upper west side of Manhattan. He was walking slowly with a beer in a paper bag. He was wearing a kind of lavender-colored leather suit and checking out a pretty girl who walked by him. he really looked like he was about 6' or thereabouts. I'm just under 6' so I was trying to gauge his height and I respected that he was truly tall not a fraud actor.

Jordan says on 26/Jun/06
I think he is 5'11 MIN and 6'0 1/2 MAX

Mr. R says on 25/Jun/06
Last week, I met Laurence for the thrid time. He does tend to slouch a bit, but he is about the same height as I, so I will give him 5'11.5".

MOF says on 23/Jun/06
Fishburne was an inch smaller than Sam Neill in Event Horizon, or at least about 2cm smaller and Neill is listed as 6'0 which looks right.

David says on 13/Jun/06
I agree with Taylor. I was SHOCKED at how "un"-tall Fishburne is in person. I am 6'1.5" and he was definitely shorter than me. I don't know if he is as short as 5"8", but he is definitely not a "tall" person.

Taylor says on 11/May/06
Okay, a random guy with the driver's license identifying himself as Laurence Fishburne? All I can tell you is what I saw and eye to eye contact wasn't it.

Glenn says on 8/May/06
Youll see us at war in Matrix 4.he usually ignores you.

Glenn says on 7/May/06
Thanks Frank.6ft and a prick.

[Editor Rob: a prick? why? did you refuse to take the red pill?]

Frank2 says on 7/May/06
Glenn's correct.

Glenn says on 6/May/06
He is 6ft.

leonari says on 5/May/06
TAYLOR: Thats totally absurd and ridiculous to say the least. Fishburn is a tall man. It's so obvious. You saw a random guy who has a similar face. 5'8" for Fishburn...LOL! Some people are creating their own little reality: You my friend are one of 'em

Taylor says on 4/May/06
This is so, so, so, not true. I'm just barely 5'10" and when I met Laurence Fishburne, I had to look down. He's about 5'8". I met him at a Circuit City, he probably didn't wear his lifts that night.

andrew says on 16/Mar/06
i just watched the movie Deep Cover next to 6'4" Jeff Goldblum i would say Fishburne is 6 feet tall.

Height Tracker says on 7/Feb/06
In Red Heat, Laurene Fishburne looked around the same height or slightly shorter than 5'11" Jim Belushi. I'd say 5'11" is the correct height for him.

CelebHeights Editor says on 6/Oct/05
Interview Magazine 1995: "When I came back I was six feet tall; I had been hanging out with Vietnam veterans. I was seventeen and looked twenty-seven"

Mario Nariano says on 27/Sep/05
That's funny bernar I watched that movie last night and fishburne looked 2 cm taller than Sam Neill.

bernar says on 26/Sep/05
im watching event horizont in that moment. i cant understand why 6feet sam neil is taller than 6feet 0.25inches fishburne.

winona says on 6/May/05
I met him many years ago (back when he was making Cadence). If I had to venture a guess I'd go with the 6 foot mark, but I'm not the best judge, I'm on 5'2" ;)

Big Dave says on 8/Apr/05
I would say that he is around 181-182cm tall. He looked almost as tall as Sam Neill in Event Horizon. In fact, he looked the same size in one particular scene. I think that he is about a cm shorter listed above.

Chris says on 4/Apr/05
A friend of mine was working on the set of Mystic River. He said Fishbourne is max 5'11''. A little bit taller than Kevin Bacon.

Anonymous says on 24/Mar/05
I was watching "What's Love Got To Do With It?", the other night. Fisburne truly is 5'11". He was barely taller than the petite Angela Bassett when she had her heels on. Yet another actor who knows how to manipulate his height well.

Mr R says on 14/Feb/05
He carries himself taller, but I saw him in New York at the Tony Awards, and I saw him in LA at the Osmosis Jones premiere, and walked past him - he is 5'11" at best.
