I've been watching a lot of old Law & Order and it's quite odd how Sorvino's height seems to shift from scene to scene. In one scene he's an inch taller than Noth, then in the next scene he's an inch shorter. So, yeah, he's somewhere around 6'2" on average. Maybe he slouches sometimes.

@Jiao The Troll: Give up, boy. You've dished tripe all around this site for some time, but this is one of you better offerings.
FAIL AGAIN. In LAW & ORDER, Sorvino had a hair on 6'2" Chris Noth. Don't bother arguing the point: I've seen Chris Noth in person in Manhattan in '04 and YES, he is 6'2". Deal with it. Likewise, Sorvino had 6'2" Sam Elliott by an inch in 1996's DOGWATCH. Rob has it right: 6'3" peak for Sorvino; 6'2" today at age 72. Get a life, and either gauge heights properly or shut your claptrap.
And FYI for you: Michael Moriarty was always a strong 6'2" guy. Obviously you've never seen 1985's PALE RIDER in which Clint Eastwood has MM by an inch and some change. Don't pollute the board with your halfbaked guesses about these people--especially if you don't bother to watch the films.

6'1.5 peak, at peak Paul Sorvino look e same height as 187ish michael moriarty who listed 6'1 then go up 6'3-4 when he get gain his fame. as i say he is 0.5in shorter than honest 6'1.5 chris noth. he is probably just 6'1 range today as young stud like eric dane,josh holloway.

Look shorter half inch by honest 6'1.5 chris noth. Old paul is 186cm lorne says on 30/Aug/11
[Editor Rob: sorvino has been called 6ft 2 and 3 in his earlier career, he could have been in between the 2.]
Yeah, makes sense.BTW< Moriarty wasn't over 191cm, because he already looked under 6'3 by the last 2 seasons of Law and Order.I think he dropped height, he was in his early 50's by then, and the first episode of L&O was actually filmed in 88', by 93'/94' a man in his 50's would of dropped height.Sorvino likely did as well, they're age makes an exact peak hard to muster, but I say legit 191cm Moriarty and 189-190cm Sorvino.Nowadays, Sorvino is 6'2 MAX and Moriarty likely 186/187cm range, he shrunk fast...
6ft2.5-6ft2.75in peak/189-190cm I highly doubt he was any more or less than this thebad7 says on 17/May/11
Great actor. I was surprised at how tall he is. Just watched him in a very good but obscure police drama titled DOGWATCH from 1996. Standing face-to-face with 6'2" Sam Elliott in several scenes, he looked to have about 1" (or just a hair less)on Sam. Granted, this was in 1996, and I believe Sorvino was about 60 at the time--he didn't look like he had lost height at that point.
6'3" for him at peak sounds correct, Rob.

yeah, right MR.V! Gabriel Garko is claimed 190 but i think he's 188-189 cm... he had like 1 inch, 1.25 inch on Paul Sorvino... So he's gotta 186-187 today! No more! He needs a downgrade, Rob! Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 3/May/11
A really solid 6"3 at his peak...possibly 192cm
He's lost a good inch though since...188cm(6"2) these days Spence says on 12/Apr/11
Def looks about 6'3 in Goodfellas I think 190-91 peak Mr.V says on 3/Apr/11
Sorvino looked to have about an inch on Chris Noth in "Law and Order" and was about the same height as Warren Beatty ( or just a fraction taller )in "Reds" . I think he was more likely 6'2.5 at peak . If he was a full 6'3 , I doubt his daughter would have described him as 6'2 .
Here's a photo of him with 5'10.5 Carol Alt where he looks her height or a bit shorter :

Even admitting that she's wearing very high heels ( which is unlikely , considering she's already tall ) she could get 6'3 max in them , so she should have still looked shorter than Paul if he was a full 6'3 barefoot and 6'4 in shoes at the time . Unless he had already lost considerable height by 1996 .
Today he looks noticeably shorter than 190 cm Gabriel Garko . Spence says on 23/Mar/11
About 6'3 peak ANDREA[ITA] says on 22/Mar/11
i think he's no more than 186 today! 189 at peak! Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 24/Feb/11
6"3-6"3.5 in his prime, Rob?
[Editor Rob: I think 6ft 3 peak and 6ft 2 now is fair for him, he looks a guy who has lost height] jotun says on 5/Feb/11
Looked 6' 2'' with Liotta in Goodfellas, tho I wouldn't doubt he had already lost some height by that point. George H. says on 12/Jan/11
