black says on 15/Oct/09
he say he is 6 tall, but i think he is between 5'10-5'11. he was shorter than david letterman. and letterman never wears heels, niel wears heels in letterman show. and looks same heights than josh radnor, who is never looks 6' tall. this isnt true, i think.
jf says on 4/Oct/09
5'-10.5" in my non-scientific estimation.

ropey shots of nph, nathan fillion and amy acker. fillion seems to have around inch, inch and a half on nph. if fillion is 6'1.5" then nph does look a solid 6'0".

Saw this guy walking across the street in Philadelphia recently, walked right past him, I'm a little over 5' 9'' but he looked 5'11 maybe a little under 6ft so Rob could be right .
Hugh 190cm says on 19/Jun/09
Rob 185cm
Del Mar says on 20/May/09
wow just by looking at his face, I just thought he had the typical 5-10 look. or the 5-10 face to be more specific. but seeing him with other ppl makes me think that 6-1 could really be right!
mikec says on 14/Apr/09
yet here he looks 6'0.5" Click Here

and on the barney stinson myspace page(character he plays on how i met your mother) it says he is 184 cm
Big T says on 21/Feb/09
Well, he's exactly eye to eye with Wayne Brady. This would certainly make Brady taller than many thought.
glenn says on 21/Feb/09
rob needs to change this.mr-r is right.he is at least 6-1.kal penn is 5-10.25,5-10.5.some say 5-11.and look at that other pic with neil.neil towers him.
Josh.J says on 21/Feb/09
he's the same height as wayne brady who is dead on 6ft.
Mr. R. says on 20/Feb/09
I saw Neil last year at 6-1 and maybe a little taller than that.
Josh.J says on 20/Feb/09
i think alot of people make the mistake of thinking he's 6'1 barefoot. i think he just about reaches 185 with shoes. with 5'10 kal penn, he looks around 5'11 1/2 and 6'0.

tom87 says on 14/Feb/09
Come on, how could he be 6'1? He's the same heigth as Josh Radnor(who is 6) and, on top of that, he always wears "suit shoes" - i mean with little heels.
jon says on 12/Feb/09
He is 6 foot 1 or 185 cm, he can look a tad smaller though to be fair, he is either 6;0 or 6'1 for me, nph is a legend too, love im in how i met your mother, he rocks
Tom says on 28/Jan/09
I saw him at the Williamstown Theatre Festival a couple of years ago. I'm 5-11 and he seemed at least 6-1.
glenn says on 18/Jan/09
6-1 it is.i was suprised at these 6ft claims.a hair taller than 6-1 im all up for too.
Mr. R. says on 18/Jan/09
Neil Patrick Harris stated on a Doogie Houser episode that he was 6-1. I met him last year, and he was much taller than I suspected. He is at least 6-1 and maybe a little taller.
Derrick says on 17/Jan/09
He said he's 6ft.
Martin says on 13/Jan/09
Looks taller than 6 feet. Closer to 6'1 probably.
glenn says on 2/Jan/09
i have this guy.i wouldve guessed 6-1.so he has to be 6ft.
Randy says on 31/Dec/08
This guy is probably a little under 6 feet tall.
richinkle says on 25/Dec/08
No way I would have estimated him at over 5'-11"
anonymous says on 17/Dec/08
After watching how i met ur mother i dont see the difference between josh radyor and neil patrick harris. I would say he is close to 6 foot but not quite there.
tom87 says on 11/Dec/08
He's definitely 6'. On "how i met your mother" he looks very small when he stands near 6'4 Jason Segel.
Alucard says on 10/Dec/08
He looks a little over 6 ft.
Austrian says on 7/Dec/08
hahaha without thinking much i would have estimated him to be 5'8
anonymous says on 3/Dec/08
6 foot.
anonymous says on 12/Nov/08
He is actually pretty tall. David letterman was taller than him by a few inches but neil was crouching a bit. I would say 6 foot 1max no taller.
anonymous says on 8/Nov/08
Mybe he's one of those short looking tall guys. I thinks he's close to 6 foot 2.
mikec says on 27/Oct/08
he looks like a 6fter on how i met your mother a lot. he is taller than josh radnor by a least an inch, radnor is an average height guy around 5'11ish he just constantly looks 6ft around him, and not 6'1 ... like some people think he is... he just doesn't look that tall.
anonymous says on 22/Oct/08
He doesn't look that tall in how i met your mother maybe because his co stars are tall. I would say he's just under 6 foot. I remember when he was standing next to heidi klum and he was about 5cm taller than her and she's 177cm. I guess he's 182cm at most. He was about 18cm taller than ellen who is 164cm. Good actor.
Bob says on 20/Oct/08
I've met him multiple times and he is 6'0 at the most...anyone who says he is higher is wrong.
the boom says on 8/Oct/08
he looks closer to 6'1 than 6'1 in most cases, like in harold and kumar. he is quite charming and goodlooking as well =)
nate says on 22/Sep/08
he's probably 6'1 flat. on the show how i met your mother, he always looked at least 1- 2 inches taller than the main guy who is 5'11.5 or so
Mr. R says on 29/Jul/08
I met him in April at The Pasadena Playhouse. We hung with him during intermission and my students took pictures with him. He is one of the few actors that I have met who are taller than advertised. He was for sure 6-1 and maybe a little over that.
Bence says on 18/Jul/08
"glenn thought Dr Horrible was 6ft 2...]" in that case, Fillion is around 6'4-6'5 tall and not 6'1.5 (maybe lifts or camera angel ?). By the way I like to watch " How i met your mother" too, and I always thought that NPHs height is under 6feet, looks like a guy between 5'10 and 6'.Maybe in Shoes a bit over six feet.(But I also saw him in Starship Troopers, and in that Movie, look like a really tall man...so i dont know, maybe your're right.I never met with Harris in person so its really hard to estimate his correct height).
Bence says on 17/Jul/08
I just saw a video with NPH & Nathan Filion , so when Fillion is really 6'1 and a half tall, then this guys height must be under 6'0, maybe 5' 11.5!

[Editor Rob: glenn thought Dr Horrible was 6ft 2...]
soulfires40 says on 16/May/08
Hey Guys!

Its been awhile, but I think that I am coming back! I am too busy teaching to do any acting, but most of the people I see are at the theater. I saw NPH about a month ago, and my students spent time with him and got pictures. Without a doubt, Doogie is 6'1".
nate says on 9/Jan/08
is that Pete townshed back there?
Caesar says on 1/Jan/08
This listing doesn't make sense. NPH is taller than Radnor who is listed at 6'0 and 1/2 here. My guess is NPH is 6'1, Radnor 6'0 or a little more.

[maybe more on the downgrade of radnor.]
dmeyer says on 23/Sep/07
does look closer to 6'0.5 in in that pic
Meimi132 says on 23/Sep/07
*nods* Same height as me and a couple of friends. He looks it.
Al says on 23/Jul/07
I swear Glenn has the same expression in every picture
Mr. R says on 20/Jul/07
There was an episode of Doogie, when his friend, Max Casella, made a comment about Doogie being 6 foot tall. Doogie corrects him and says 6-1.
6'3'' JK says on 19/Jul/07
He looks like a real solid 6'0'' guy with Glenn
Josh says on 19/Jul/07
Yeah he looks 6'0 .
schnitzelferk says on 23/Jun/07
in how i met your mother marshal is 6'4" and i believe that as he is looking 4" shorter than them beefy 6'8" doorframes, then at other times looks 2" off doorframes-the regular 6'6" ones.

Unless doorframes over there are 6'6 and 6'4 and hes 6'2"

I agree with glenn, he is 6'1" ish.

if you really think christopher walken is 6ft in the pic here, then neil is DEFINITELY more than 4" taller than glenn

in CW pic, glenn comes to midforehead, in this pic-eye level, that is in general 4'5" from top of head depending, and slouching makes up .5"-1" max...I might not say quite 6'2", but 6'1" sounds reasonable.

remember neils in foreground too
glenn says on 26/Apr/07
im saying he is 6-1 or 6-2.he isnt standing as straight as he should.he isnt 6ft.
TheJerk says on 25/Apr/07
The difference looks every bit of four inches here Glenn. Are you saying you were 5-9-5-10 that day?
TheJerk says on 23/Apr/07
Well leonari you could have been less harsh. Colton, visit the How to Measure a Celebrities Height page you will see that the difference is not 6 inches.
glenn says on 23/Apr/07
rob-seriously,he was 6-1 or 6-2.
leonari says on 22/Apr/07
Colton: nice...obvious that its a 3-4 inch difference but you see 6 inches: congrats fool: great eye.
Colton says on 21/Apr/07
well if this glen fellow is 5 8 neil looks about 6 2 there.
TheJerk says on 17/Apr/07
Maybe he is as tall as 6-0. Yet, I've always though of him as "slight". And more 5-10. He shouldn't be more than this since he claims 6-0 himself.
bikagyura says on 17/Apr/07
I agree... never heard him described as that "small" before
glenn says on 17/Apr/07
6****ing2.
glenn says on 17/Apr/07
getty images never pop up on my phone.anyway rob,he was around 6-2 rob.or 6-1.
Puff says on 17/Apr/07
Wasn't this guy billed as nearly 6'2"?

[Editor Rob: yeah, at one point...this photo is very disturbing to 6ft 2 claim though ;)]
D. Ray Morton says on 17/Apr/07
"Doogie ****ing howser Md."

LOL!

The guy definitely looks 6', maybe slightly more.
Editor Rob says on 17/Apr/07
Doogie ****ing howser Md. I've got my net back properly so the comments/front page have been updated...and I had to shove in some swear filtering.
Danimal says on 13/Sep/06
He looked tall because he was young and thin, which gave him the illusion of being taller than he actually was.
Derek says on 12/Sep/06
He looked tall on Doogie Howser. Maybe he wears lifts?
Editor Rob says on 12/Sep/06
Found a quote from 1993, The North Hills News talking about a character on Quantum Leap:
"I'm 6 tall but I'm just not 250" in reference to original script character being varsity footballer
Ned says on 2/Aug/06
ya everyone seems to think josh radnor roughly 5'10 on how i met your mother and he seems to only have an inch on him to the most so id say 5'11
Mr. R says on 21/Feb/06
During his Doogie days, he claimed to be 6-1. There was one show where his little friend, speaks of Doogie being 6 foot tall, and Doogie corrects him by saying "6-1".
sal says on 20/Feb/06
Yeah, i am sayin this sounds a little tall for him, i was thinkin bout a solid 6'...could be wrong but i just don't see it...

[Editor Rob: yes, he might not be quite as tall...]
Observer says on 31/Jan/06
In a episode of "Will & Grace" there was a scene in which 5'11" Sean Hayes looked as tall as Neil Patrick Harris. Was Hayes wearing lifts?
