Just saw Bye-Bye Love which stars Paul with Matt Modine who is listed at 6' 3.25" here. There are a few scenes with them in full shots talking. Doesn't seem to add up. Also stars Randy Quaid who is very tall. Seeing all 3 together in certain scenes leads me to believe he is shorter.

He sure doesn't look more than two inches taller than Helen Hunt on "Mad About You."

I agree with Rob's 177cm estimate, though I think 174-175cm is a possibility

I am surprised he admits to 5'10" but I beliee it. I actually might have gone 5'11" just compared to Helen Hunt from "Mad About You."

He may actually be one actor who actually listed his real height...

I always thought he was 5-8ish too.never really studied him or met him.judging by Aliens,I guess a couple of us were wrong.

Editor Rob says on 17/Jul/06
In his book couplehood he rambled on about height...

"one day you notice you've been wearing the same sizes several years in a row, and you realize, "I guess I'm done. This is who I am. Five foot ten, and not an inch more. I'm 5' 10", 9.5 shoe. Forever. That's who I am..."

5"10?! Is he really? I ALWAYS thought he was shorter than that!

I recall that scene as well. She did not tower over him by three inches. It was a smaller difference in height. So with Weaver being 5'11", I can see 5'10" for Paul. But like Rob said, depends on the footwear.

[Editor Rob: weaver did still look 182cm in that film...]

Did he look 5'10 next to sigourney weaver though? I recall him looking some 3 inches shorter. I'll need to check their scenes again... particularly the one where she discovers his character was the cause of the alien ship being discovered by the terraformers.

[Editor Rob: I know the first scene they had, she still looked taller...but maybe only had socks on, I'd need to check...]
