He never looked anywhere near 5'10" on Stargate Atlantis. He was noticeably shorter than David Hewlett on the show, who is closer to 5'10" than he is.

You look basically identical... 174 not impossible, but 5ft8.25 would be better.

Ok, on the first pic, he is the same height as rob, forget the hairs! On the second it seems like his shoulders are higher, but thats maybe the jacket.

Definitely doesn't look any taller than Rob. If anything he's slightly shorter, of course given that you don't count his hair as part of his height!

Rob if this guy is 174 cm, it's only fair that you're also 174. Both pic show it, the man and you are dead on same height. Paul only has more hair than you.

solid 173cm..hair hair gives him 1-2cm. I never go on levels..but he has the same chin level, same mouth level, same nose level, same eye level, same size forehead, same hair level..before he has taller hair...he is bang on your height..a strong 5'8 wishing to be a 5'10 guy.

He looks about 5'9 or so and I love his charater off Stargate Atlantis. Love the accent as well. I have to say Paul looks the same height as David Hewlett and he's about 5'10.

He looks no more than 5'8.25" to me, Rob. I'd say almost your exact same height, really.

Comment is not about height but about where Mr. McGillion was bone. He wasn't born in the UK but in Scotland then moved with his family to Canada when he was about 2.
