Ray Liotta Height
Ray Liotta height: 5 ft 11.5 in (182 cm)

US Actor from Goodfellas and Narc had an interesting tidbit of information about filming Narc when speaking to UGO. This is why sometimes you can under or overestimate an actor's height. For instance, Patric looks slightly smaller than he actually is in that film because Liotta says "I used a lot of makeup under my eyes to just show a tired kind of guy. We added shoulder pads, lifts in my shoes because the character is named Henry Oak. A big, bruising guy."

A fan mentioned once that they had met Ray Liotta on the street and that she "never thought he was that good looking but up close he really is. Has nice skin and suprisingly, only had an inch on me (I'm 5'8")."

He himself said in 1994 Virginian Pilot: "Hey, I'm 6 feet."...

he didn't look a good 6'0" next to 6'2.5 paul sorvino in goodfellas. he looked 5'11"

Rob, Ray does look close to 6 feet...Rising Forces photos of him next to Seth Rogen 5 feet 11...maybe 5 feet 11 3/4 inches to 6 feet there! What do u think?
dmeyer says on 14/Mar/10
to me liotta is a good 6 ft tall
STILLmotion says on 25/Jan/10
I met Liotta on the set of Identity. I'm just under 6'2" with shoes on & easily had 2-3 inches on him. He's just over 5'11".
Nick says on 16/Jan/10
hmm, I always thought he looked closer to 5'10
RisingForce says on 2/Jan/10
De Niro IS 5'8", he WAS 5'9" when Goodfellas was made. Liotta is about 6'.
Aleks says on 2/Jan/10
Only problem is, De Niro wasn't 5'9". Try 5'8".

Liotta is (was) very close to six feet, 5'11½" I'd say.

He had 4 inches on De Niro at times in Goodfellas.
RisingForce says on 28/Dec/09
He had atleast 3 inches on De Niro in other scenes.
Oleg says on 18/Dec/09
Looked 2 inches taller than 5'9 Robert De Niro in Goodfellas. So yeah maybe he's about 5'11.5 as it's said here.

Ray is a bit shorter than Travolta in Wild Hogs. You can tell he has lifted shoes at minute 39:17 of the movie, when they leave the bikers bar and Ray delivers the junky bike to Macy, I'd say he is an inch or two shorter than Travolta
TELLEM says on 11/Oct/09
Rugal Bernstein says on 10/Oct/09
Anything below 6'0" starts to be ridiculous. That guy appears tall in all of his films. In Wild Hogs he looked a legit 6'2" but he also had a clear 6'1" appearance beside 6'6" Kevin Durand. Liotta even looked as tall as John Travolta who is mainly listed at 6'2". So 6'0" is Ray's absolute lowest height. 6'0.5" sounds more accurate.

take a gander at my photo of him next to 6'2-6'2.5 paul sorvino. hes looking 5'11 next to the big guy. So you can't eliminate the 5'11 factor while saying anything below 6'0 is ridiculous, because that makes you ignorant and makes your statement completely asanine. hes 5'11ish tops.

I'd say he's 6 feet. All of the heights listed are what they're listed at here.

Ray and 5'8.25" Don Cheadle. Click Here Ray is clearly atleast 4 inches taller.

Ray and 5'11" Seth Rogen. Click Here Ray is clearly an inch taller.

Ray and 5'7" Michael Pena to the far left. Click Here If that's not atleast a five inch difference then I don't know what is. Even with a camera advantage, Pena is still dwarfed. Click Here
Hugh 190cm says on 5/Jun/09
1 inch taller than Alec Baldwin in the West Wing.
TELLEM says on 1/Jun/09
liotta looks about 5'11 next to paul sorvino: Click Here
TELLEM says on 21/May/09
i'd put him at 5'11.5 aswell.
LT says on 20/May/09
he had about 2.5-3 inches on stallone in cop land, i have it on right now, its actually a good scene for measuring stallone because he's wearing sandals (near the beginning, stallone is opening a parking meeter to get quarters for pinball) at 4 minutes and 34 seconds they stand almost level to eachother, liotta is wearing sneakers which could contain lifts, but i doubt it as stallone likely wouldent allow anybody to be any taller than him on camera than they have to be, i agree to 5'11.5" for liotta, and between 5'8" and 5'9" for stallone.
interesting fact about this movie, stallone put on about 40 pounds of fat intentionally to look more pathetic for the role, perhaps this is also the reason we see him without his trademark lifts
Hugh 190cm says on 20/May/09
Looked 6ft1 in GoodFellas. I'd say 183cm-184cm.
Daii says on 22/Apr/09
I thought he looked a 6 foot guy in Wild Hogs, but he probably had some kind of motorcycle boot on giving a good 2 inch lift. Probably a 5'11 guy though
TED IN CT says on 20/Apr/09
In "Observe and Report" - he has about 1 + 1/2 inches on Rogen . Rogen is wearing police boots which easily give him an extra inch. If we put Rogen at 5'10 , Liotta is at least 6 foot
Anonymous says on 14/Apr/09
Certainly at least 6ft when Goodfellas was made.
RisingForce says on 10/Apr/09
5'9.5" is fair for the Liotta clip leonari, but a 5'10"+ guy looking 5'9.5" with so many factors isn't that surprising to me.

But it seems that the whole time Danimal was referring to another clip in Cop Land instead of the one we're referring to. I'm not sure which clip that is though.
bam says on 4/Apr/09
rob the man is an inch taller than seth rogen.
leonari says on 1/Apr/09
Rising: you are right never in the world 4 inches but I certainly see at least 2.5 and a max of 3 inches on that clip Copland beginning clip. Sly purposely has bad posture cause he plays to be drunk but Liota is far from streching out...Plus: Sly is always closer to the camera than Liotta in that clip and you know I am a 5'10 believer but he looks at the very most 5'9.5" if Liotta is close to 6 feet. What do you say?
RisingForce says on 18/Mar/09
No it's not impossible James, but I never understood why some people just assume certain celebs have shrunk when there's nothing to suggest they have.
RisingForce says on 23/Feb/09
There's no way that was 4" on Sly. Sly's head was not around his eye level, it was half way between his eyebrows to the top of his head.
Danimal says on 21/Feb/09
bam says on 21/Feb/09
5'11.75 is most accurate. He can look similar in height to guys like tim allen, but straightened out, he is 6ft or a smidgen under. Plus he totally towered deniro.

He also totally towered Stallone in Copland by 4" both wearing sandals/slippers on street level.

J says on 16/Feb/09
met him at the park this weekend. i'm over 6 feet he's right around there.
cb says on 5/Feb/09
no taller than 5'11", most likely 5'10", just watch Smokin' aces when he's walking beside ryan Reynolds.
RisingForce says on 24/Dec/08
Travolta is a strong 6-0, maybe 6-0.25 and John could have had a slight footwear advantage.

If he's under 5-11.5 then Robert Duvall is under 5-8. He was much taller than Jason Patric in premiere pictures as well.
TELLEM says on 23/Dec/08
thats a movie. look at them at the premieres, travolta is taller than liotta. rob has this guy nailed
RisingForce says on 23/Dec/08
He was taller than Travolta in Wild Hogs. In that picture they're both slouching but Ray looks 1/4 or half an inch shorter.

He's 6 foot flat, he usually looks it. Either that or Sigourney Weaver is closer to 5-10 than 5-11.
TELLEM says on 22/Dec/08

TELLEM says on 22/Dec/08
hes shorter than 6'0 john travolta and heres another one w/ tim allen,allen is tilting his head...1 inch tops hes no more than 5'11.5...not 6'...rob has him spot on Click Here
RisingForce says on 22/Dec/08
Tellem, can't you see that Tim Allen is clearly closer to the camera?

Look at these pictures that have been posted on this page.

If Robert Duvall is 5-8.5 as he's listed here then Liotta looks 6-0 without a doubt.
Click Here

If Sigourney Weaver is 5-11 then Ray Liotta easily looks 6-0 again.
Click Here

Liotta is a legit 6 footer.
TELLEM says on 17/Dec/08
next to tim allen(whos listed here at 5'10.5) he looks no more than 5'11.5 ...thats if tim allen is 5'10.5 Click Here
RisingForce says on 10/Dec/08
This is what i was talking about as far as De Niro and Sharon Stone
Click Here

She's wearing boots there too.
Clay says on 2/Dec/08
Ray is 6'0''.
RisingForce says on 29/Nov/08
But Ray himself claims 6'0" so I doubt he's any taller. A solid 6 foot sounds good for Ray.
Anonymous says on 19/Nov/08
i rember seeing ray listed as 6'1 on a diff site

i believe danimal is talking about this scene @ 2:48-2:55 Click Here
Danimal says on 13/Nov/08
RisingForce says on 8/Nov/08
Yeah especially in Raging Bull. He could look over the top of 5'4" joe Pesci's head even with Pesci's hair. In Taxi Driver he had massive heels though.

In Casino he still looked 5-9.5 easy. He had an inch on 5-8.5 Sharon Stone even when Stone seemed to have the footwear advantage. He also looked 7" max shorter than Chuck Wepener in 1997. I don't know if Chuck ahd lost any height though.

In NO WAY was Deniro taller than Sharon Stone in Casino. When Deniro introduces Sharon to Joe and his wife for the very first time, it is quite obvious who had the height advantage and it sure wasn't Bobby D.
TELLEM says on 13/Nov/08
Clay says on 13/Nov/08
Bob De Niro has lost height, thats obvious he's barely 5'8 or just a little over these days, its been like that for a while now too.

for some reason i think hes a little under 5'8...he was clearly much shorter than mike tyson

De Niro's height has hardly been confirmed though. You hear everything from 5'8" to 5'10" for him and there's plenty of evidence for either figure

There is not plenty of evidence of him looking 5'10".
derek brassell says on 7/Nov/08
I did stuntwork in a movie called NO ESCAPE, Ray liotta was the main star, he is no shorter than 5, 11", I stood next to him many times, I am 5, 8" 1/2

Yeah but he doesn't look under 6 foot so there's no reason to think he isn't 6 foot.

Editor Rob says on 7/Sep/06
In 1994 Virginian Pilot he said: "Hey, I'm 6 feet."...

Just bumping this quote because it was pretty far down the page. If he says 6 ft and looks it I see no reason to doubt it.
Hugh says on 10/Oct/08
Liotta might just be 6ft.
Hugh says on 8/Oct/08
I do not remember Ray being taller than Travolta. He must have been wearing lifts. He could be 6ft but he's shorter than Travolta. Travolta in my opinion is scraping 6ft1. He really did look the same height as Forest Whitaker.
RisingForce says on 6/Oct/08
He looked taller than 6 foot John Travolta and easily taller than 5'10.5" Tim Allen in Wild Hogs. Liotta is 6 feet like he claims.
Hugh says on 18/Sep/08
Maybe 5ft11.75
RisingForce says on 16/Sep/08
I agree 6 foot fits well.
Hugh says on 9/Sep/08
Yeah he actually does look 6ft.
MHouillon says on 26/Jun/08
I just watched NARC, and that's why I'm visiting the Liotta board right now. He really is quite tall in this one ! 187-188cm (6'2")-guy !

However, the 5'9-s**t is nonsense.

He's 182cm barefoot.
lisa liotta says on 10/Mar/08
He's taller than me. I'm only 5'5. I'd say he's about 5'11,not to mentioning his real dad who he took after.Talk about being tall,his dad is 6'0 feet tall.
lisa liotta says on 10/Mar/08
The star from the movie SLOW BURN is awsome,mysterious,and very goodlooking.I don't care how tall he is,except for the fact he's my half-brother,and he's my favorite actor! I'm only 5'5
Boxing Fighter says on 15/Nov/07

If Jonny Miller is 5ft10, Ray is probably 5ft11, no taller.
That guy on the right (Franky G, the Xavier from "saw II") looks like 5ft10 also.
But I think he has no profile in this site.
Cheers!
Mike says on 1/Oct/07
Stood next to him at premiere of Copland.I am 6' 1" and like Pee he was just a little shorter than me,at least 5' 11",could be 6'
ted says on 22/Aug/07
John Boom got to be on serious arogant.Definetely not amusing.Liotta is 181cm and yes he is tall.
pee says on 31/Jul/07
I played hoops with Mr. Liotta at a gym in Peoria< IL where his wife is from one christmas. I am 6'1" and he was just a little shorter than me so I would say 5' 11" or a bit taller is more accurate. He's got no game I got his shot twice, but a hell of a nice guy very friendly.
Anonymous says on 16/Jul/07
he had a lot more height than deniro in goodfellas, deniro being around 5'9. i thought liotta was closet to 6'0.5-6'1. gives a big appearance, but he is over 50 now, so maybe he did lose a little height nowadays.
Mr. R says on 10/Jun/07
He is 5-10. I see him around Hollywood.
will says on 16/Apr/07
he is more than 5'8 he was level with travolta in wild hogs and he is supposidly 6'2 i say more like 6,0 at best, i would say liotta is 6 foot
Austrian says on 11/Apr/07
i think Peter Fonda is at least 6'3

at least he was when he was younger
Anthony says on 1/Apr/07
Liotta wore big boots in "Wild Hogs" and looked an easy 6'2. He was noticably taller than Travolta and looked the same as 6'2 Peter Fonda. He's not under 5'11.5.
dmeyer says on 20/Feb/07
could be 6 ft to me 5'11.5 at the very lest
John Boom says on 19/Feb/07
Ha! I'm 6'3", Liotta is a shrimp. Actually the avg hieght is about 5'8" so he is not too bad, but someone thinks 6'1 is "huge". Has she ever watched basketball?

[Editor Rob: Basil Brush was at least amusing, you ain't.]
Anthony says on 22/Jan/07
While I wouldn't say 6'1 is huge, it ain't small in any sense of the word. A 6'1 is taller tha most people, and it isn't hard for a 6'1 guy to be mistaken for a 6'2 or even 6'3 guy. Heck, I have a friend who's dad I always thought was at least 6'4, until I finally asked her. I was shocked to find out he was only 6'1!

And back on tpic, Liotta is definitely 182-183. He can look 185 at times, such as in "Goodfellas".
Austrian says on 21/Jan/07
so a 6'1 guy is huge? LOL!

besides Liotta is a legitimate 5'11-6' guy
Anonymous says on 7/Dec/06
Well, Ray Liotta was eye to eye with Joseph Fiennes in a movie they made with Gretchen Mol (can't remember the name, dang), Though Fiennes looks the same height as Gwyneth Paltrow in Sheakspeare in love, and she was in flats, so if Gwyneth Paltrow is 5'9, they both are 5'9 too? my guess is that she would wear 5 cm lifts in some scenes that would make her look taller, like 1.80 (without showing her feet of course), I think Ray Liotta is indeed 5'11.5, and Joseph Fiennes is not 6', more like 5'11.
J. says on 23/Sep/06
One more "Identity"-related note, Liotta's character's height is listed as 6'0" on a prison ID form.
J. says on 23/Sep/06
As you can see with my previous posts of the day, I've been watching the movie "Identity". Height-wise, it's interesting. Liotta, looks a solid 5'11", next to John Cusack in their scenes together. That is if Cusack really is 6'2".
alex says on 17/Sep/06
Frank 2, when was ray liotta ever "skinny"? even in goodfellas I never would consider him "skinny". He's always looked average to husky in my opinion. Any pictures of skinny liotta? And 150 pounds is way off. if he was 5-11 and 150 pounds he'd be scarecrow. Which he definately isnt. If
Anthony says on 15/Sep/06
Nice, photos, Height Detective. In Liotta's defense, Sly is probably wearing the height enhancers he is so famous for.
dmeyer says on 15/Sep/06
dont forget that rapaport is pushing 6 feet4 i dont think liotta is less than 183 anything from 182 to 184 is possible
Anthony says on 10/Sep/06
Yes, Height Detective, now that I look at it you're right.
Height Detective says on 9/Sep/06
Anthony , in that pic with Glover , compare their boots , seems like liota boot have more heel than the boots glover is wearing
Anthony says on 9/Sep/06
Yes, as I pointed out he looked at least 6'1 in "Goodfellas". And as Frank2 pointed out, he was very thin at that time.
sam says on 8/Sep/06
I've never doubted his 6' feet even claim.
Anthony says on 7/Sep/06
Well, if he says 6', then I guess he's 6'. He's an inch taller than Weaver in the pic I posted below, and if she's 5'11 these days, Ray's definitely 6'.
Editor Rob says on 7/Sep/06
In 1994 Virginian Pilot he said: "Hey, I'm 6 feet."...
Anthony says on 30/Aug/06
Ah, didn't know that. Doesn't make sense though since the real Henry Hill was only about 5'9 or shorter. Not to mention he wasn't portrayed as particularly dangerous in the movie. You sure it wasn't Pesci?
Felix says on 28/Aug/06
Anthony - Ray Liotta weard big lifts for Goodfellas too look bigger and more dangerous.
Anthony says on 24/Aug/06
Ray looks about an inch taller than Sigourney Weaver here, who IMO was about 6' in her prime and not too much shorter today.

Anthony says on 15/Aug/06
You're welcome.
Anthony says on 14/Aug/06
De Niro was 5'9 at his peak, and considering he was still relatively young when he did "Goodfellas" he was probably still there.
Height Tracker says on 14/Aug/06
In those pictures, Liotta looks a solid 3 possibly 4" taller than 5'8" Robert Deniro. This would make him between 5'11" and 6'0", just like Rob lists him at. There's really nothing awe-inspiring about that.
bikagyura says on 1/Jul/06
have you had a look at the boots he wears in Something Wild then Ayreon? I can tell you this much: they will give him an 1-2 xtra inches
Frank2 says on 9/Jun/06
De Niro is 5'8".
J-Dog says on 8/Jun/06
Isn't Paul Sorvino 6'3"?
dmeyer says on 25/May/06
rob i agree he is close to 6 feet
smoke says on 24/May/06
Anthony De Niro is 5"9 so therefore Liotta is 5"11
sam says on 9/May/06
In the film Identity, his wrap sheet or whatever it is says he is 6' feet. But that film is weird because they also show the heights of both John C. McGinley and Jake Busey as 5'10", when both of those guys are well over six feet tall and clearly taller than Liotta.
Anthony says on 8/May/06
Liotta is 6'. In "Goodfellas", De Niro is about 5'10 and Liotta is a visible 2 inches taller. Also, Paul Sorvino is about 6'2, and Liotta looks 2 inches shorter than him. He's 6'.
dmeyer says on 23/Mar/06
i am glad you upgreat him since i dont think he is less
Frank2 says on 17/Mar/06
I've met Ray and he's slightly taller than I am so I'd say close to 6' is correct. He's also skin and bones. I doubt he weighs more than 150 lbs or at least he did back then which was right after he made Goodfellas. And Duval is short, probably no more than 5'8". He might have been 5'9" when he was younger, say back when he appeared in To Kill a Mockingbird. But he looked like a shrimp next to 6'3" Greg Peck and 6'2" Frank Overton. Frank was a wonderul actor and died way too young. He was one of those who made it look natural.
dmeyer says on 14/Mar/06
sometimes he looks 6 feet
dmeyer says on 14/Mar/06
i agree with you rob that he look close to 6 feet 181 182 range seems very believeble he does look taller than 5'11
Frank2 says on 7/Mar/06
Liotta is just under six feet. I've met him. And Duval was never more than five-nine. The last time I saw Duval and spoke with him was at the Emmys. He wore cowboy boots and looked to be at least two inches shorter than me.
Anonymous says on 28/Jan/06
Surprised he's this short; looked over 6'0" in Goodfellas but maybe he's friends with Sly's shoe makers. ;-)
T-Bone says on 12/Oct/05
No way this guy is 5'11. I saw him after he was doing the play "Match" and he has to be at least 6'1-6'2.
perl says on 19/Aug/05
In Identity, they show some piece of paper that says 6' feet tall for Liotta. Also in the same scene, they show the license for John C. McGinley and the rap sheet for Jake Busey and they both say 5'10". This is bizarre because both of these later two actors appear to be well over 6 feet tall (and taller than Liotta). As for Liotta, I think he's a little over 5'11" and just rounds up to 6' feet to make things easy.
Drew says on 13/Jun/05
He looks like a six footer in movies compared to other actors. But then again these Hollywood stars and their lifts..oh well..
Anonymous says on 13/Jun/05
I have meeted Paul Sorvino and i can tell you that guy is easy 6'3 +, maybe those days a little shorter but when i meeted sorvino in 1997 he was not shorter than 6'3 ft. Liotta looks 3 inches shorter than Sorvino. De Niro was at his peak close 5'10 because he was an inch taller than Jack Nicholson in 1976. DE Niro was exact as tall as Duvall in 1981. In 1990 De Niro looked 5'9 in my opnion but in a Cape Fear documantary, one of the producers is saying that 5'10 De Niro had lifts on to be closers to Nick Nolte height who was 6'1 at that time.

Lorraine Bracco is in some sites listed as 5'10, i dunno but she is probably closer to 5'9.
J.J says on 12/Jun/05
You have Robert Duvall at 5'8.5" - Liotta looks more than 2.5" taller in comparison here, even if Duvall stands up straight.
http://www.allmoviephoto.com/photo/2002_john_q_009.html

[Editor Rob: to me it looks like a 3.75 inch difference max. Duvall looks to be leaning slightly in so maybe if he straighten up...]
CelebHeights Editor says on 25/May/05
Yeah what Anonymous says - the mugshot on the newspaper shows his hair to be on the 5ft 11 mark. As short as 5ft 10? Maybe assuming they measured the police height chart correctly ;)
Anonymous says on 19/Mar/05
In "Control", his most recent film, there's a police mugshot which shows his height as about 5'10".
