I think he is 175-177

...Bennett is 172-3, which I definately can say that he is. Agency's always wants to make their celeb look tall on paper. Im 175,and would probably be listed as 183 ish cause of my body.

One more thing, if he is called a dwarf by people who too are at 179, then how can he be a dwarf? Hes 172-3!End of Story.

Andy Whitfield is 1.75m or 1.76m, Manu Bennett is shorter, like 1.73m or 1.74m...

In the show "Gods of the arena" he is repeatedly called "a dwarf". Sorry but 179cm is TALL.

180cm tall? No way. I met him in around 5 years ago & unless he has had a growth spurt since then I put him at around 5 ft 8 tops. I'm only 5ft 1 & when he walked towards me I thought "oh it's Manu Bennett, heck he's smaller than what I imagined" we chatted for a while, nice genuine guy but no not 5ft 10 or 5ft 11. My best friend is 5ft 10 & I stand on tip toes to give her a hug lol

In many scenes in Blood and Sand, Andy is usually wearing sandals with thick rubber soles(as seen on Revelations) that sometimes make him appear taller. You can see this when he talks with 6'1" Eka Darvell.

The one barefoot scene they have together is in episode 2. Manu bennet is 2 cm taller than whitfield. So Manu bennet would be closer to 177cm.

For John Hannah and Lucy Lawless, they both wear very thick Sandals aswell. Watch Episode 5 when he walks with 6'3" John Bach and 5'10" Craig Walsh Wrightson.
John Hannah usually wears those Sandals that give him an obvious 3-4 inch lift.

Like i said before, Ande Cunnington 177cm = 5'9.75" is taller than Andy Whitfield by atleast 2cm making Andy 5'9" which will make sense considering he is afew inches shorter than 6'0" Jai Courtney and several inches shorter than 6'3" Peter Mensah.

The current listing seems too generous. In both Spartacus Blood and Sand & Gods of the Arena he looks shorter than most if not all the other male actors. Not to mention he always looks shorter than Andy Whitfield who's listed as 5'10" here. John Hannah is also listed as 5'10 and most of the time he looks slightly taller than Whitfield. Bennett is probably 5'9" or shorter.

He's 5 10 max but prob less. Andy is definitely taller than him, so is lucy, he's probably closer to 5 9.5 if not 5 9 flat. In Gods of the Arena one of the gladiators calls him a dwarf! Andy is closer to a solid 5 10 and perhaps as tall as 5 10.5, but can't see him as a true 5 11 at all. In reality I'd say Manu is 5 9-5 9.5 no bigger and Andy is 5 9.5-5 10. That's probably the most accurate range, especially because both do seem shorter than 5 10 John Hannah, Andy by just a hair and Manu by a tad more. But Manu is definitely not 5 10.5 as he claims, at least an inch shorter. He is massive tho which makes him appear larger over all, where as Andy has a much smaller frame and narrower shoulders, a frame that a 5 11 man would not have.
