M. C. Gainey Height
M. C. Gainey's height is 6 ft 2 in (188 cm)

American Actor from Lost, Breakdown, Con Air. I saw Mr Gainey at Collectormania (Photo by Malcolm) in 2008. He has Nike Air Force One here, so about 0.25 inch more than the sneakers I wear.


5ft 8 Rob with M.C.

Hugh he played an ex-con Luther on an episode entitled "Robbing The Banks". He appears a fair bit in the episode and stands near Will a few times. He clearly looks over an inch taller than Will. Throughout the episode he has timberland style work boots on while Will has Doc Martens so he maybe had 1/4" footwear advantage on Will.

There is a scene where he is face to face with James Avery for around a minute and you can see he doesn't look much shorter.

I don't remember this guy on Fresh Prince at all. I haven't seen that show in years though. I have seen him on Lost where I think he looked slightly taller than 6"2 Matthew Fox. 6"2.5 prime maybe?
thekiddd says on 27/Dec/09
I think a solid 6'3" or 6'2.5" at peak. He did look taller than 6'2" Will Smith on Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.

sorry to make two posts in a row, but look at this: Click Here

I know it's a very small pic but you can see gainey and fox look dead on in height. Maybe Gainey is 6'2 on the money then and he would be around 6'2 & 1/2 at his peak since he's around 60.

As far as I'm aware both Gainey and Fox both wear sort of work-boots in Lost, so Gainey couldn't really have had a footwear advantage, and if he did it was probably just like 1/5" or something.

There does look to be 0.5 - 1 inch difference in that pic you posted Moke. Maybe Fox is really slightly under 6'2 and Gainey is 6'2.5 & he hasn't lost any height - that would explain the difference.

But maybe either the camera was giving Gainey a slight disadvantage here or giving him a slight advantage in that pic of him with Matthew Fox.

This is the scene in LOST when the two stood next to each other: Click Here

Looks a bit taller indeed. He could have had very bad posture next to Rob, which may have lowered him slightly..?
thekiddd says on 15/Dec/09
Looked about 1 inch taller than Will Smith on "Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" I'd say 6'3" at peak, 6'2" today.
Random Person says on 8/Dec/09
Thought he was more in the 6'3 - 6'4 ranges whilst watching Lost. He sort of looks 6'3 in that picture as well (taking the Air force Nike's in account too)
Anonymous says on 4/Dec/09
Rob, do you think he was 6'2.5 at his peak like he is always listed as?

[Editor Rob: maybe he's lost 1cm of height.]
Hugh 191cm says on 4/Dec/09
Yeah i remember him looking a bit taller than Fox.
rob89 says on 27/Nov/09
I agree Hugh, especially since he had a slight shoe advantage. It's weird because i remember him being quite clearly taller than Matthew Fox in Lost when they were next to each other. I though he looked about 6'3 or at least 6'2.5 in Lost.
Hugh 191cm says on 18/Oct/09
Looks more 186-187cm beside Rob.
Anonymous says on 11/Oct/09
He looks 190cm stood next to Rob..................

[Editor Rob:
hmm, This is near 6ft 4 vs 5ft 8.25, I'm not sure gainey 'looks' 190cm in comparison.

he doesn't 'Look' over 187cm and he's wearing tom cruise lifts (nike air force one) ;)]
Hugh 191cm says on 11/Oct/09
Around 6ft2 nowadays give or take 0.25 inch.
Hugh 191cm says on 29/Aug/09
Maybe lifts boosted him to 6ft4-5 range. I think a strong 6ft2 peak.

He looks exactly the same height as James Avery who was 6'4 - 6'5 at his peak. Can somebody explain this because although he looks tall here, he looks nowhere near that tall.
ralf says on 23/Jul/09
Wow, another great photo rob. He really looks her a full 6ft2inch.

[Editor Rob: here is a short clip of MC walking by Jenny]
yoyo says on 13/Jul/09
if he wore bigger shoe , i guess 6ft1.25 barefoot. looks 6ft1.5 with rob
Hugh 190cm says on 4/Jun/09
6ft2.25 peak and 6ft1.75 now.
Mystery_Man says on 25/Feb/09
This guys on lost, I never noticed he was that big.
lotar says on 17/Jan/09
That's weird. In Wild Hogs when he stood next to Kevin Durand they looked about the same height, and Kevin is 6'6"
rob89 says on 11/Jan/09
Looks about 6'1,maybe 6'1.5 considering that he has a big forehead.
Some_Guy says on 9/Jan/09
Wow, maybe its an optical illusion but this guy appears to have an enormous head.
atc says on 8/Jan/09
if this guy is 188cm the height of brandon Routh can't be 189 but 196 !!!
Tony says on 6/Jan/09
wow will smith was like 2 inches shorter than him on fresh prince of bellair
Lionel says on 3/Jan/09
He is 6'2.
Lionel says on 2/Jan/09
I saw Con Air last week and he had Nick Chinlund height and a good 2 inches taller than John Malkovich and Nicolas Cage.
Billy says on 2/Jan/09
Easy 6'2
Danimal says on 31/Dec/08
Ras says on 28/Dec/08
6'1.5 IMO. I don't see a full 6'2

Oh COME ON??? Your eye is able to detect him being .5" off?? Oh please.
Sam says on 30/Dec/08
Yeah, I'd buy a weak 6'2" here. It's possible his peak height was 6'2.5", since that seems to be his "official" height.
edd says on 30/Dec/08
mc gainey is a bad--- dont mess with him. looks a solid 6-2 here
Lozzer says on 29/Dec/08
6'2 spot on...bad posture here i think!

[Editor Rob: he's actually standing not too bad.]
Ras says on 28/Dec/08
6'1.5 IMO. I don't see a full 6'2.
Derek says on 28/Dec/08
"6'2-6'2.5 How do some of you only see 5 inches, LOL, he's getting only 1/4 of an inch advantage in the shoes, as Rob said".

Rob is around M.C.'s eye level or a bit below, which is usually around 4.5-5 inches.
IMRIGHT says on 28/Dec/08
met him hes about 6'1 he wears air force alot strangly
Clay says on 27/Dec/08
6'2-6'2.5 How do some of you only see 5 inches, LOL, he's getting only 1/4 of an inch advantage in the shoes, as Rob said.
lloyddobblerNJ says on 27/Dec/08
6'2 looks about right... although I would have thought taller before seeing the pic. Good character actore, but geez, I saw way too much of this guy in the movies "Sideways"... They need to put up warnings before showing scenes of male frontal nudity so we know when to close our eyes, lmao!
adam says on 27/Dec/08
Rob is well-below his eyelevel. That makes at least six inches.
SoccerFan says on 27/Dec/08
Will Smith's 6'1.75 only with high heels
dave says on 27/Dec/08
sorry, those who say hes 6'1.... WRONG.....

his nose is clearly over robs face if he were to tilt back a little.... and hes near 60..... a perfect example of a LEGIT and steady 6'2 man. id say he could have been nearrrrly 6'2.5 peak judging by this pic.
the shredder says on 27/Dec/08
Rob , this guy being legit 6'2 , does that put Will Smith 6'1.75-ish ?

[Editor Rob: he's not much shorter, and Gainey could have even lost a 1/3rd inch since he's near 60.]
leonari says on 26/Dec/08
This is how tall a legit 6'2 man looks next to a legit 5'8 guy. That is when somebody towers over someone else. Not stupid claims like: "I am 5'11" and towered over this 5'8" guy.People are ridiculous...Get a grip on life folks 3 inches is not enough to tower anybody. No, not your girlfriend either.
IMRIGHT says on 26/Dec/08
i met him hes about 6'1 he wears air force alot strangly lol
Anonymous says on 26/Dec/08
looks more 6'1" here, considering the difference in shoes
Derek says on 26/Dec/08
Looks more 6'1".

A perfect 6'1.75 guy.
adam says on 26/Dec/08
A big man. Easily 6-2, possibly 6-3?
