Bang on

fabiano says on 6/Nov/09
Are you sur guyfrommars, he looks evan here near 184cm ? Maybe jay is rigt.

guyfrommars says on 28/Oct/09
Nimoy was never 187cm. He was 183cm (6ft) or 184cm (6ft0.5) in his peak. 173-175 cm (5ft8-5ft9) Shatner looked almost his height in boots and lifts. Neverthless, Nimoy was the tallest of the original Star Trek crew, as all the other castmembers were under 180cm (5ft11).

jay says on 28/Oct/09
Was he near 187cm peak ? In the younger enterprise episodes maybe he was it.

James S says on 13/Oct/09
He looks 6'0 all the way in the pics.

James says on 10/Oct/09
That sounds like a pain in the ass Mamun.

I think at his peak he could have been 6'1.

Mamun says on 9/Oct/09
This is what happened my friend James ! On the day of the convention in Toronto
Canada ( FanExpo Toronto 2009 29th August 2009 )I wore my Superman dress at the
request of some of my buddies here . Something terrible happened on the morning
when I was on my way to the convention ! The bottom part of the Superman Boots
I was wearing ( 0.50 inchs of soles )Suddenly came off from one of the boots !
I had no other choice but to tear and remove the bottom part from the other
one ! So during the entire convention I was walking with nothing but the thin
layer of Rubber that used to attach the red boots to it's half an inch thick
soles ! It was very very painful ! There are five more pictures I will soon
send in which I am in this almost barefoot condition ! Yes he did look near
around six feet to me !

Regards

Supermun

James says on 9/Oct/09
How come your barefoot? How tall did he look to you? I think next to you he looks about 6feet tall.

Mamun says on 9/Oct/09
My friends I am almost barefoot in this picture ! Thats my barefoot height
you are looking at !

Regards

Supermun

James says on 9/Oct/09
He looks a good 6'1 with Mamun.

guyfrommars says on 9/Oct/09
"In Star Trek he slouched all the time"

That, and Shatner wearing huge lifts made Capt. Kirk appear nearly as tall as Spock.

Anonymous says on 9/Oct/09
mamun looks 3cm shorter if you compare it to the photo with rob.

Alex says on 8/Oct/09
I see 5'11 in the photos above.

Maryanne says on 27/Sep/09
He's obvioulsy slouching in theses pictures (as he's always done. In
Star Trek he slouched all the time). Also, as a 78 year-old, he's not the same height he used to be when he was in his 30-40's.

It's disturbing that we all will take the time to discuss how tall an actor is. A bit scary, even.

Harry says on 31/Aug/09
he looks an even 6'0.

Frank2 says on 20/Jul/09
Hemp your are 100% wrong. They scored STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE at Fox. I was there in the damned room when Jerry Goldsmith conducted his score! They also scored STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. I was also there which is when I met Nimoy. The film's director Nick Mayer was there at the time.

NEVER ARGUE SCORING STAGES WITH ME! I'm an expert on them. I'm even thinking about writing a book on them. It was me who saved the Fox scoring stage when the idiots in charge wanted to gut it. I sent Rupert Murdoch a memo pleading with him to save it as well as to spend a few million fixing it up. I wanted them to take out the booth they had built out onto the stage floor sometime in the 1970s and replace it with a larger one to be constructed on adjacent Stage 2. Murdoch must have said something since the powers that be did keep it and fixed it up spending over five million. And in my memo I requested they name it after Fox's chief composer Alfred Newman which they did.

They did score some of the STAR TREK features at Paramount. The original TV series was scored on the old RKO scoring stage which at the time was part of Desilu Studios. That was when Glen Glenn ran Desilu's sound dept. By the time Desilu took over, the former RKO stage which was stage 2A was mainly used for Foley effects. Glen Glenn named it Stage F. That stage is no more since the wall that divided it from Stage 2 was knocked down in the late 1990s. The Paramount scoring stage which was located in the Crosby Building is no more since Paramount decided to knock down the entire building to construct a new sound dept. to be run by Technicolor.

clark says on 19/Jul/09
I have seen/met Leonard Nimoy since 1977 when i was a kid up til 2009. Last I checked in barefeet, I am 6 feet even. I recall, he did (in the past) have me beat by an 1/2 inch or so...keep inmind thew man is pushing 80. I don't think standing straight is too much on his mind these days.

Anonymous says on 18/Jul/09
He looks 5'10.5 in both pictures with Rob and Jenny.

He does look like he has lost some height. Probably
peak height 6ft.

Hemp says on 18/Jul/09
I worked at Fox, they never scored Star Trek at their room, it was Paramount. Leonard was 6 feet 1 guesting on "T.J. Hooker". I should know, I AD'd a few times at Warner and was one stage away for that week.

richinkle says on 18/Jul/09
Probably was about 6'-0" at his peak. Looks slightly under 5'-11" now.

Frank2 says on 17/Jul/09
I met Nimoy a couple of times. The last being in the early 1990s when he dropped by the Fox scoring stage to hear the score for one of the STAR TREK features. Both times he appeared to be around six feet even. He was about an inch taller than me. And a very nice man. I don't think he was ever taller than six feet. In the photos with Rob and Jenny he now looks like he's about 5'11".

derek d says on 16/Jul/09
It doesn't look like he's shrunk too much, he's slouching with Rob and Jenny. Maybe a inch loss of height over the years?

Brad says on 16/Jul/09
He's really shrunk.

Dia says on 24/Jun/09
I don't know if he's/was 6'1'', but Nimoy's tall figure is something that definately added to Spock's cool image.

Ivana says on 26/May/09
I wonder what kind of optical delusions could make younger Spock looks shorter than the older Spock to anyone. I do not have a good screenstill, but they looked exactly the same height, except fora moment when younger Spock looked a bit taller, which would not be at all unusual.
You are aware that Quinto is at least as tall as Nimoy, if not half an inch / inch taller? There are more than enough pics of the two of them to confirm that. The only thing I can assume is that you expect Nimoy to be taller because he used to have the advantage of having shorter actors by his side in TOS.

Ivana says on 26/May/09
"Towered over the younger Spock?" Did you see some other movie?! They are of a simialr height, but younger Spock (aka Zachary Quinto) is taller.

Jimmy says on 17/May/09
He looked taller than Quinto in Str trek and Quinto is a legit 6'1.

Jake says on 12/May/09
Even with his bent posture, he still looks legitimately 6ft tall. After all, if he were 5'11, his eyes wouldn't be at the top of Glenn's hair-line. They would be about an inch lower, somewhere near his upper mid-forehead.

glenn says on 12/May/09
i kidding about the photos,rain and waiting for nimoy brad.i bumped into him.didn't wait.yes,your right,i should be in a club.but im too shy.though i did my fair share of them.

Anonymous says on 9/May/09
Just saw the latest Star Trek and was in awe how tall (and sexy) he still is! He towered over the other Spock which was a bit odd since he met his younger self. Maybe he had not finished growing? -CatpurrRobertaBobbi-

Brad says on 8/May/09
Photos are a joke. With Nimoy you get his record albums signed or limited posters etc.. Shatner put on a whole head mask once and visited a Star Trek Convention dealer's room and said he saw zero real signatures of his. Why wait in the rain with soggy photos waiting for Spock? You could be dancing in a club. 6' 1" 2 years ago in front of me and 20-25 years ago also.

glenn says on 8/May/09
i always thought he was 6-1,6-2 in person when i saw him early 90s.he was 5-11.75 this night like rob has him above.6ft straightened out.

The Horse of FUNK says on 8/May/09
I think people should bear in mind Nemoy's lean in this photo; he's losing up .05-1" in height by leaning and slouching in. He was always a genuinely talk man. He towered over that Sex in the City actress in Kahn.

glenn says on 8/May/09
is that so brad? thats why i avoid conventions like the plague.that and the people that attend them.in the street for free.with the rain on my soggy photos.

Brad says on 8/May/09
I would have gotten his first 3 LP's signed. He's a thief charging huge $ for his autograph at shows.

MikeM says on 7/May/09
looks 6' even here

i-Clarke-93 says on 6/May/09
I think with good posture he could look 6ft , doesn't seem to have lost much height.

Frank says on 6/May/09
To me he looks 5ft 11 flat in the picture with Glenn

Eddie says on 6/May/09
he slouching a bit. maybe mr. nimoy hasn't shrunk at all.

miko says on 5/May/09
He's aged terribly. Looks closer to 90 than 78.

As for his height, perhaps just over 5"11.

J.J. says on 4/May/09
looks 5'11.5"

glenn says on 4/May/09
acg-somewhat.or precise.im really not sure on nimoy.i remember him so much taller.

Brad says on 4/May/09
He's shrunk.

ACG says on 4/May/09
glenn, do you think that the heights Rob has him listed as(peak and current) seem -what's the word- logical?? lol

Sunil says on 4/May/09
i swear glenn was 5'8

glenn says on 1/Apr/09
bumped into him last night.he shrunk for sure.havnt seen him since 1993.barely 6ft.i couldve sworn he was 6-1,6-2 back then.i was so happy to finally get a photo with him.seems like he lived here for years without me knowing.

Ivana says on 30/Mar/09
Well, one thing that has to be taken into account is that he's probably shrunk with age. I'm guessing that 184 cm is his peak height. Nowadays he can't be 184 cm since he's noticeably shorter than Zachary Quinto, who is supposed to be 6'1' (185 cm).

184 cm, spot on.

haze says on 29/Oct/08
id say 6' to 6'.5" is about right seeing as how a 3 inch enhanced 5'11.5 - 6' shatner comes within .5" in my eyes

Chris says on 26/Oct/08
>>> i think some of you guys are forgetting about posture.I am 5 11 and one of my friends is bang on the 6 1 mark sometimes he appears taller than me and sometimes he does not due to the way he stands. <<<

I have a friend who is exactly 6.1 too. Sometimes i appear to be close to his height and sometimes i appear way shorter than i usually am. Im approx 5.9, its surprising though how one day i feel and look taller against him and another day i look and feel really short.

Frank2 says on 2/Aug/08
I've met him twice and both times he looked about 6'. Extremely nice man. A real gentleman. The last time I saw him was when he showed up at Fox on the scoring stage for one of the STAR TREK features.

clark says on 30/Jul/08
Don Lahey....they said Leoanrd Nimoy not Leonard Bernstien. I think you had too much Romulan Ale.

nicole says on 28/Jul/08
A oncle saw him to at the convention center. He said to me 6ft1.5inch. My oncle was then 6ft.

Don Lahey says on 8/May/08
Well, I also met Leonard Nimoy over 30 years ago, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, and I was shocked that stout little me at 5'7" was looking down a little at him. I am convinced some time after that he either always used elevator shoes or had an operation to lengthen his legs.

Kevint says on 23/Mar/08
A woman I knew once, who was a very tall lady (around 5' 11"- 6' 0" in bare feet) said she met Nimoy at a convention, and he was a "very tall man". I take this as pretty good anecdotal evidence that he was probably at least 6' 1" or 6' 2" in his prime (which would realistically make him one of the tallest actors in Hollywood in his day).

I think Nimoy is often supposed to be shorter because I think Shatner is often downgraded as shorter than life, due to his vanity and pugnacious persona.

I think

clark says on 21/Jan/08
I met Mr. Nimoy at a trek convention. He IS over 6 feet.
Oh.. and he is about to turn 77 years of age.....give him a break if he not at his prime, but then again he is a Vulcan, so he should be around for another 130 years.

Bass-baritone says on 24/Jun/07
I am a true 182cm 5' 11 1/2" and I looked directly eye to eye with Mr. Nimoy while attending a musical in Washington DC about 20 years ago. Although, while singing with the SF Opera, I was listed at 6'0".

Brad says on 1/May/07
6' 1" last week next to me at StarCon. He's been that for decades.

patrick says on 14/Mar/07
Nimoy looked 6'1 very long and perhaps he has "shrunk" a bit or affectionates a leaning position more often now? Very interesting man anyway and good actor too even though even him could never replace Martin Landau in Mission Impossible!

Brad says on 12/Mar/07
6' 1" in '75 meeting him at a Star Trek Convention and again in '86 at another con & at a restaurant called "Lucy's" near Paramount around same time. Same height.

Anonymous says on 31/Jan/07
Dear Anonymous,

Perhaps he was slouching a bit and so seemed shorter? Because I have read that he often does that in real life. He seems pretty tall on Star Trek - he just towers over the rest of the cast and I swear is about 7 inches taller than George Takei.

Anonymous says on 12/Nov/06
I met him at the this year at Star Trek's 40th anniversary convention. My dad was also with me, and my dad is 5ft11.5 (182cm) Nimoy seemed nearly the same hieght as my dad, maybe 1cm taller.

aerotive says on 5/Oct/06
I saw him at a convention a couple years ago. He looked right a bit over 6ft.

Interesting person.

Glenn says on 20/Sep/06
Thank you Jordan.actually,he looked possibly taller.

Jordan says on 19/Sep/06
Nimoy looks 6'0 at the shortest. He is prolly what Glenn says he is . 6'1. Glenn is a major contributor to this site and has no reason to lie so for me, what gleen says is the truth. Nimoy is 6'1.

Star Fox says on 7/Sep/06
He was always noticebly the tallest regular cast member on Star Trek. He was always a couple of inches taller than Shatner, so I guess he was 6'1 in his prime, and now a days I'd guess he's just over or around 6ft.

Glenn says on 29/Jul/06
Then you met his short double.he was 6-1 when I met him.

sf says on 29/Jul/06
uhhhh....you SURE it was Nimoy????

Anonymous says on 28/Jul/06
I have met Leonard Nimoy in person. Now, granted, it was over 30 years ago but as I recall, I was shocked at how NOT tall he was. I am 5'10" and by my memory, he was at least 2-3" shorter than I am.
