The episode where he got hsi height measured was silly, 5'11 3/4 and not 6'0, at 5'11 3/4 you would just say 6'0 anyway lol, 1/4 off, His real height is actually 6'2.

Well Patricia Heaton is not that tall she is just 5'2, Ray is think is 6'2, He may be 189 out of bed, I say he is 187-189, 188 is probably his height. Libertariandude says on 7/Mar/10
In Raymond it's hard to discern his height, since he stands beside the gigantic Garrett. In fact, I always thought he was of average height, and Patricia Heaton was a midget!! reckon says on 15/Feb/10
There was some episode where Ray's wife says, "If you want to be 6 ft, then wear these shoes", or something like that. So I always thought he was at most 6 ft.--> I just watched that episode. I do not think the script would mention a lower height than his max height. So he is max 6 ft 2 in. joeyj says on 9/Feb/10
6'2 is believable, he towers his wife on everybody loves raymond David says on 12/Jan/10
There was some episode where Ray's wife says, "If you want to be 6 ft, then wear these shoes", or something like that. So I always thought he was at most 6 ft. This 191cm guy is quite cool says on 18/Dec/09
187cm minimum and 189cm max. 5ft11 and 6ft is BS. sam says on 17/Dec/09
It just goes to show that adult men or women who are 6ft or over are tall people. G.G says on 16/Dec/09
SERIOUSLY WTF, whenever i watched "Everybody Loves Raymond", i thought romano was an average height man. WTF, i thought he was 5'9 - 5'11 range. WTF! I am seriously mistaken! pleaseFolks says on 16/Dec/09
""Joey says on 19/Jun/07
I don't think that episode revealed his true height. It was more effective for the show to make him out to be an even 6 foot as opposed to 6'2. I believe he is 6'2" because he's not that far off from Brad Garett's height. The only reason he doesn't look his height is because of his big head just like Jerry Seinfeld.""
If he really was 6'2 why didnt they use 6'2 and then down to 6'1 3/4 instead of 6'0 and 5'11 3/4? in that episode??? get real! 6'0 was his real height (if even that) he is 5'11 - 6'0 and brad garrett is 6'6 tops, possible 6'5 G.G says on 5/Dec/09
WTF i thought this guy was 5'10, when i watched everybody loves raymond! TN 185cm says on 5/Nov/09
Never met him in person but seems 6'1" to me Griff says on 4/Nov/09
How can people on here say that Ray Romano only looks about 6ft when they have only ever seen him on the tv? What have these mongs got to gauge his height by? lee says on 25/Aug/09
Ray Romano is 6'2 1/2- 189cm, Rob, Do you know how tall Gene Arrington is who played the guard in The Raymond- Big Shots episode off season 3, when Ray was waiting in que there were a lot of tall guys in que but most probably wouldn't know names of.
Brad Garrett is 6'8 1/2. josh says on 24/Aug/09
Ray Romano looked the same height as Terry Bradshaw on Raymond and Bradshaw is 6'3,Kareem Abdul Jabar appeared on Raymond also, He stands 7'2 tall, Brad Garrett is not quite 7 foot tall but is 6'8 1/2. Liam says on 21/Aug/09
Ray Romano- 6'3, Peter Boyle- 6'2, Brad Garrett- 6'8 1/2 kevin says on 18/Aug/09
Ray Romano is 189 cm
189 cm is 6'2 1/2 kal says on 14/Aug/09
Ray Romano is 6'2 1/2( 1.89m) tall, He was with Tiger Woods recently and he was 1 or 2 inches taller than woods, tall guy I don't know why a lot of people say he is under 6'2 as he looked tall in Raymond, keep in mind Brad Garrett is 6'8 1/2 so he has 6 inches on him and Peter Boyle always looked a bit smaller than Ray and he was 6'2. mark says on 14/Aug/09
Ray Romano- 6'2 1/2- 1.89m, Brad Garrett - 6'8 1/2- 2.04m, Peter Boyle- 6'2- 1.88m, Patricia Heaton- 5'2- 1.57m, Doris Roberts- 5'1- 1.55m.
Peter Boyler was a legend, Great Actor, I liked all cast apart from Patty Heaton oliver says on 13/Aug/09
Ray Romano is 6'3 - 190 cm and Brad Garrett is 6'8 1/2- 204 cm. Karl says on 12/Aug/09
Ray Romano is 6'3 - 190cm, Brad Garrett is 6'8 1/2- 204cm. matt says on 30/Jun/09
Ray is a tall guy, He is 6'2 1/2-189 cm, A shade under 6'3, I saw him and kevin james playing golf, I am 6'0 1/2- 184 cm and he was a couple inches taller than me so I would say around 6'2 1/2 is accurate. bob h. says on 16/Jun/09
Just saw him in "Mooseport" with Hackman. Both looked similar height. Hackman has claimed 6'2". I beleive it was true 10 to 20 years ago. I'd give Hackman... and thus Romano 6'1". D' Sarge says on 13/Jun/09
Romano has to be at least 6'2" and maybe a few centimeters. Whenever, he'd stand next to Peter Boyle on his famous show, he'd always outrank him by an inch, so that means Peter Boyle is at least 6'1" Roberto2000 says on 12/Jun/09
I've met Ray in L.A once, nice guy we had a little chat about the show. This was back in 2002. I'm 6'4 and he was definitely only 2 inches shorter. Mathew says on 7/Jun/09
I'd go with 6'1" min, 6'2" max. yoyo says on 17/May/09
i"ll say brad a weak 6ft8, romano weak 6ft2. both takes off about 2cm in reality. my old neighbour jack was a legit 6ft8.5 guy. so i could easily see any guy whose really taller than him or not. brad def abit lower jack. brad a strong 6ft7.5 romano 6ft1.5 Anonymous says on 27/Apr/09
I've always heard he was 6'3" Jevon says on 8/Apr/09
Ray Romano is 6' 2 ½" (1.89 m) Lenad says on 8/Apr/09
Looks nothing more than 187cm to me. barry gibb says on 25/Mar/09
you tools know nothing, the guy is NOT 6'2, 6' at the most.... miles says on 19/Mar/09
That was solely for that specific episode in the show, if we go on that debra would be 4'11 and not 5'2 because she was just under the 5'0 mark, it was for the episode, he is 6'2 1/2 he looks it too, ray romano is tall Rob says on 17/Mar/09
In an episode of everyone loves Raymond his wife measured him at 5'11.5 & Raymond remarks "No I'm Ray Romano & I'm 6'0 tall. I know it's a line in a show but even still he doesn't look 6'2. Hazz says on 12/Mar/09
Ray Romano is 6'3- 190 cm, The guys in Raymond were tall Brad Garrett is 6'8 1/2- 204 cm and peter boyle was 6'2-188 cm, They all look tall, Ray looked a bit taller than Frank to me on raymond and robert was a giant, 6'8 and a bit for sure, huge man. damien says on 8/Mar/09
Ray Romano is 6'2 1/2- 189 cm, he is a tall guy he was 2 inches taller than tiger wood who is 6'1, which tells you he is indeed around the 6'3 mark, i dont know what the debate is about, he looks tall in genral and on raymond he was a inch taller than peter boyle. dani says on 3/Mar/09
I disagree here. He looks 6'1. He doesn't look that tall. Robs needs to downgrade him. He's 6'2 with lifts. Lenad says on 3/Mar/09
He looks 6ft1ish on Raymond if you ask me. Clark says on 1/Mar/09
In the show they could have written that he was 5'2" and some folks will just buy it. The fact that Peter Boyle was a solid 6'2"+ and played Frankenstein in his youth. He and Ray were always eye to eye.. Clive says on 16/Feb/09
Ray is 189 cm tall, which in foot is 6-2.5, Just try google type in Ray Romano height, but most things have him that height anyway, most sites, a few have him 6'3 and 6'4. pless says on 3/Jan/09
Big kid yh i saw all episodes, yh that episode where he was 6 foot that was just for that specific episode storyline purely, i mean his proper height is 6 foot 2 1/2 but he cant have that rounded down to 6'0 as easy, i mean patricia heaton is 5'2 and to that stick she was just under the 5'0 mark, Ray Romano is 189 cm tall Big Kid says on 31/Dec/08
in season 2, there is an episode called Six Feet Under where Ray is upset about 'shrinking' because Deb tells him that he is just shorter than 6'. He always thought he was 6'. If in the show he says he is 6'....i'm pretty sure he IS 6 feet tall anonymous says on 30/Dec/08
He looks tall when i look back. 6 foot 1-2. SuperAnonymous says on 29/Dec/08
Marty: Yes, I saw that episode where his wife measured him and he turned out to be 5'11.75" and he made a big deal out of it saying he was 6 foot until he realized he shrunk. Funny how he goes on in the later scenes where he buys some lifts to become 6 foot again.
I wonder why he would downgrade himself by 2 inches in the TV show (he produced it himself and wrote himself). I believe he was no taller than 6 foot flat. anonymous says on 29/Nov/08
I will adjust my estimate to 6 foot 1 and a half. Marty says on 21/Nov/08
I was watching "Everybody loves Raymond" and on this episode his wife was measuring him and he was 5 ft 11.75in on the dot and during the episode he was constantly telling her he was 6 ft 0 in tall... 5'10 barefoot... says on 3/Nov/08
5'11 3/4 was barefoot no brain fool...stupid people should not exist...with shoes or boots he's almost 6'2...your all loosers..debating a grown mans height.. no one walk arounf barefoot...loosers.. tom says on 23/Oct/08
Ray is a nice guy, ive met him a few times, hes clsore friends with kevin james he is 6'2 1/2 tall, i am 6'0 and he was 2 or 3 inches taller than me, tiger woods was there too with ray and ray was 2 inches taller and tiger is 6'1. anonymous says on 14/Oct/08
I watch everybody loves raymond sometimes and i don't think ray is 189cm. It's just not possible. i would say he's 6 foot and brad garret is 6 foot 5. Patricia heaton is short in real life and she's up to ray's neck which means he can't be 6 foot 2. She's only about 5 foot 2 or 3 max. i watched one episode with kevin james and he was up to ray's ear. Kevin James is about 5 foot 8 max because he's pretty short and no way is he 5 foot 10 if raymond is 6 foot 2. Captain Spaulding says on 20/Sep/08
Jaime he only said 6'0" because it was in the script. jaime says on 20/Sep/08
ray and robert said on raymond their heights in six feet under episode ray said several times that he is 6 foot, may have been directly for episode though has he is actually 6'2.5 and robert said he was 6'8.5 in the model episode of season 8 which he is Tomas says on 21/Aug/08
Ray romano is 6'2 1/2- 189 cm, Brad garrett is 6'8 1/2- 204 cm those two were great on raymond, peter boyle was 6'2-188 cm but he sadly passed away, ray and brad were great i have all the raymonds theyre great, Jack says on 31/Jul/08
Ray is 6ft 2.
Brad Garret is about 6'7-6'8. And Ray looks about 5 inchs shorter.
The episode "six feet under", isn't showing his real height. Hugh says on 31/Jul/08
Here ( Click Here): at least 6 inches of difference. carl says on 30/Jul/08
hugh that image aint rallly that good, you cant tell its impossible they are loads apart they need to be right by each other, the facts are ray is 6'2 1/2 and brad gareett is 6'8 1/2. Mr. R says on 30/Jul/08
I worked a show with him a few years ago, and he is at least 6-2. I watched him walk past Kevin Nealon who is for sure 6-4, and Ray was about 2 inches shorter. Hugh says on 29/Jul/08
I think this can help ( Click Here). Ray head top is at Garrett chin level. 6'8 - 8" (about) = 6 ft Bj25492008 says on 28/Jul/08
Yeah, I was confused about this too Millie. He does look a lot taller than 6 foot to me though. Millie says on 9/Jul/08
in one of the Everybody loves raymond episods he said he was 5.11 and 3/4. wayne says on 27/May/08
ray is 6'3 i just saw the cruising with marie episode off season 3 how tall is hiram kasten, does anybody know, nothing has his height anywhere cheers Gramps says on 7/Mar/08
Terry Bradshaw (in his 40s) was on a 1996 re-run today of Ray's show. Bradshaw has been billed as 6'3" and still looks close to that today in the ESPN studios. In several side by side shots, Ray looked about 1/2" taller than Bradshaw, ignoring the differences in 'hair.' The Man says on 18/Feb/08
Hmm...I never thought Ray was 6'2...& I doubt he is...I was thinking he was about 6'0...Infact,on one episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" Ray was having a fit about his height! He said he is not 6'0,but 5'11...Still tall though...I'd say 5'10 & up is on the verge of tall... clark . says on 11/Feb/08
umm terry bradshaw is no longer 6'3" FYI........he has lost a lot of height due to back problems. 6'4" Tom Brady towered over him in an interview. Anonymous says on 13/Jan/08
Its hard to beleive that he's 188 !
He looks much shorter in "Everybody Loves Raymond" ! nate says on 12/Jan/08
he always looks tall on everybody loves raymond until Garrett walks in lol. Id say 189 at least. frank says on 8/Jan/08
There was an interview where they said ray was 6'4, He is 6'2.5 (1.89m)on imdb, it sounds about right he looks tall on raymond and is a bit taller than gene hackman in welcome to mooseport, most things list him 6'2, 6'3 or 6'4 the one site had him 6'0 so he could be anything from 6'0 to 6'4 i say 6'2.5 is dead right. Claudio says on 6/Jan/08
6'2 sounds about right. Anonymous says on 17/Oct/07
As far as Ray's height goes, 6'2 for me is easily believable. Take a look at the height of the refrigerator. The average fridge is between 66" and 69" tall. He's at least 6 inches taller than it in the kitchen scenes, so unless it's a small (60") unit, which would put him at 5'7 or 5'8, he's definitely 6'2. karl says on 12/Oct/07
ray romano is taller than robert culp on raymond, and culp is listed at 6'2 so he is not smaller than 6'2, tv.com trivia states although they acted like his character on raymond was 5'11.5 he is actually 6'4, do not know how true that is but personally i believe ray is 6'2.5 lj says on 9/Oct/07
not sure i looked on various sites, like kelson said he is listed at 189 cm tall, not sure what that is in foot, i guess like 6'2? ,can u please get one of these on peter boyle , check him out i dont know his height but i'm guessing he was 6'1 or 2 and peter was a legend kelson says on 7/Oct/07
ray romano is 1.89m tall, he is listed anything from 6'2 to 6'4.5, most things list him 6'3 but he is actually 6'2.5. Johnno says on 23/Sep/07
5 ft 11 Famke & Ray 6 ft 2??? well even without the high heels of famke those 2 doesnt make a diffrence of like 6 centimetres i think he is 6 ft 1½ bam says on 17/Sep/07
he is a legit 6'2. On tv, he oddly does not give the impression of being a tall guy, but he is. paltos says on 10/Sep/07
ray romano is 6 foot 3, that raymond episode was bull**** because he was a shade under the 6 foot mark so what, that was just for the episode it would be daft if they they had him 6'5 ,because his wife on the show is supposedly 5'2 and she was under the 5 foot mark to the thing if you watch so how does that work add 3 to her height from 4'11 to 5'2 and from his 6'0 to 6'3 so ray is actually 6'3 jp says on 9/Sep/07
On a few sites they have ray at 6'4, i would estimate that he is more than likely 6'2 or 6'3 , most things list him at 6'2.5 though and a few 6'3 so what do you reckon height tracker person Mark says on 20/Jul/07
I saw him at the celebrity golf tournament in Tahoe. I'm 6'3" and can easily say he's not 6'3". I think 6'2" is stretching it; my best guess would be 6'1.5 - 6'1.75" range. michael voisinet says on 8/Jul/07
ray romano is more than 6'2''tall.he is in the neighborhood of 6'3''to 6'4''tall.he is about an inch or 2 taller than david letterman. Mr. R says on 22/Jun/07
I did a pilot for Jon Henson at SONY once, and I met Ray Romano and Kevin Nealon, who oddly seemed to avoid each other, clearly some bad blood between them! Ray is pretty close to 6-2 and Kevin is between 6-3 and 6-4. dez says on 20/Jun/07
i agree joey, i would put ray about 6'1, brad is 6'8 and on the show ray appears about the same as peter boyle who was 6'1, kevin james appeared in a few episodes he is 5'9 and ray was like 3 to 4 inches taller. Joey says on 19/Jun/07
I don't think that episode revealed his true height. It was more effective for the show to make him out to be an even 6 foot as opposed to 6'2. I believe he is 6'2" because he's not that far off from Brad Garett's height. The only reason he doesn't look his height is because of his big head just like Jerry Seinfeld. bg says on 6/Jun/07
hes 5 11 and a half they meaured him in one of the episodes and he was having a mid life crisis cus he used too be 6 foot E. Roderick Heath says on 2/Jun/07
He looked exactly 6'0 or maybe 6'1 next to 5'8.5-5'9ish Kevin James on an old episode of King of Queens. He wasn't much taller than (unrelated) Larry Romano who is about 5'10. l0ck n l0ad says on 25/May/07
Mmmm... just being honest if Ray Romano is a legit 6'2" he is just one of the shortest 6'2" I've seen. I read a lot on this thread now and well I guess evidence shows he is around 6'2", geez he just so doesn't look it even when he's next to shorter people unlike Brad G. There are other flat 6'2"ers out there who look much taller than Ray. Anonymous says on 17/May/07
Yeah I also remember an episode where Ray was measured by her wife in the show and she told him that he was 5'11 3/4". But I actually think he is like 6'2" or close to close to it like 187cm or 188cm. ben says on 5/May/07
how is ray romano listed at 6'3, he might be 6'0, but he is not 6'3, the one site as his bio on and it has ray at 6'4, no way at 6'4 he would only be 4 inches smaller than brad and brad appears to have at least 6.5 inches on ray which includes ray's hair too, 6'0 may be more accurate frank says on 4/May/07
why does everyone think ray is 6'3 he barely hits the 6'0 mark lets not forget his huge hair, he's not tall to brad garrett either, brad has 6 inches on ray easy, and most the time brad doesn't stand straight anyway, ray is 6'0 tall he said his height was 6'0 before in one of the episodes where he got measured Jan says on 26/Apr/07
Mr R. do you meet everyone famous mentioned here or do you just like to name drop? Height Tracker says on 17/Apr/07
Romano's actually like an inch taller than Boyle on the show, but I don't think Boyle is over 6'1" because he probably shrunk. herman says on 17/Apr/07
romano probably is 6-2 it aint hard to believe if brad garett is 6-8 and peter boyle is 6-2 he is the same as boyle and like 6 inches smaller than brad i say 6'1.5 or 2 definetly paul says on 12/Apr/07
ray is not 5'11 thers no way, cos terry bradshaw appears in one episode and is not much over ray and he is 6'3,ray is 6'2 lets not forget brad garett i would guess is at least 6'8 or around that so he will make most 6 foot guys look smaller, ray and peter boyle are the same height and peter is 6'2 dmeyer says on 2/Jan/07
could be 6'2.25 Brian says on 29/Dec/06
I saw Romano from a few feet away this past summer. I was about 6'3" at the time, and he looked a little over 6'1", maybe 6'1.5". Tommy says on 5/Dec/06
I just watched an episode of romanos show and in it, deborah measures him with his shoes on at 5'11 and 3/4 and romano states multiple times that he is 6' during the scene, therefore making him 5'11 and the jolly green giant is probably no more then 6'6 barefoot
[Editor Rob: yeah, this has been discussed before, the ruler was rigged] Anonymous says on 2/Dec/06
I guess his big dorky head makes him look alot shorter than he claims he is. Really the type of face and head he has he looks no more than a 5'9" stooge. Daniel says on 4/Nov/06
Ive met Ray Romano and he is about 6'1, the height of me. Height Tracker says on 20/Oct/06
Anthony, I wouldn't go by that movie poster. If you watch the movie itself it is clear that Romano is actually a little taller than Hackman. C says on 26/Aug/06
Tall-PD, you're information is completely inaccurate. If you would read what was stated in the previous comments, you'd see that:
A) Ray said he has always "6 foot" not 6'1"
B) The height stick appears to have an added ~2" to make him appear 2 inches shorter than his real height. Take a look at the pictures posted below. Tall-PD says on 26/Aug/06
Alright everyone!! Ray Romano is not 6ft 2in!! There was a show where he had measured him self(or doctor did). And he was sad to find out that he had shrunk a half inch. He said that he was always 6'1" and argued with Debora (Patricia) that the doctor was wrong. So Debora bought him some insoles, which made him feel better. That was the end of the show. Yep so hes 6'1" at his very best. Jake says on 15/Jul/06
For some reason I feel like he is not much over 6'1" but is very height concious. 6'2" is the maximum I'd believe and 6'3" is pushing ridiculous. Anonymous says on 22/May/06
Ray Romano is 6'3" he's an inch taller than David Letterman and 1 shorter than Conan O'Brien. He was on both shows the same week. Brad Garret is 6'8" and Peter Boyle was 6'1" whan he was younger at least. And Hugh Jackman is the same height (6'3") as Ray Romano. And there you go. BIG TEEZY says on 7/May/06
I would have to agree that Ray is probably about 6'2" since I recall Peter Boyle as being listed at that height when he was much younger and he does seem to be getting more frail and therefore shrinking with age (not like a Gene Hackman type who still looks strong in his 70s-remember a couple years back when it was repoted ol' Gene beat up a couple punks in a bar?) so it is possible that Boyle is 6'0" these days. I don't think Romano is any more than 6'2" which would put Brad Garret at 6'6" or taller-he does seem to slouch a bit at times. Anonymous says on 21/Apr/06
McConaughey is standing straight in that picture... Ray is leaning in, and could easily have 4-5 inches on him. Bryan says on 16/Mar/06
Saw an awards show awhile ago where Ray handed an award to Hugh Jackman. He was clearly two inches shorter than Jackman, which means Jackman would have to be 6'6" if Ray's 6'4" is accurate and that's just not possible. Jackman's tall, but he's not THAT tall. Brett says on 15/Mar/06
doesnt look to have more then an inch on McConaughey, really dont think hes more then 6'1". C says on 10/Mar/06
I had a few minutes to check and am almost certain that the brand of the refrigerator is "Magic Chef." The label on the door seems identical to the "Magic Chef" label, with the logo on the left. Don't know the model; they have many models out, but there are only 2 different heights of all the models...66" and 66.63". So if the refrigerator really is 66" it would seem that the height stick is pretty accurate when moved 2" down. And Patricia Heaton's height seems very close to what she claims she is, minus the shoes. So I would not consider this height stick as completely made up. Given that info, if correct, Ray is very close to 6'2", just as the listing shows. C says on 8/Mar/06
I think the height measuring stick episode makes all the difference. If you really want to check the "correctness" of the markings, you can compare Patricia Heaton's 5'2" height, and the height to the top of the refrigerator for reference. Then note that all markings are even from 1-6 feet. You can then compare Brad Garrett's, Peter Boyle's, Doris Roberts, and all the actors' heights to the refrigerator's top (5'6" according to the height stick moved down 2"). There's no way to tell within an inch, but it's close enough not to immediately throw it out and believe all markings are off.
I don't have time to study all this, so maybe someone can come up with a conclusion, rather than just throwing out what could be good evidence.
Or if someone really wants to know, maybe we can figure out the model and dimensions of the refrigerator - if it's a pure prop or gutted real model - and see if it's a true 5'6".
Just throwing out suggestions since there's still many who argue about his true height. bob1 says on 28/Feb/06
I am really not convinced Ray Romano is 6'2" or over barefoot. I would say he might be 6'2" in normal shoes, and more 6'1" barefoot. What made me think more about it is an episode of ELR when Ray and Brad are talking and Brad is barefoot but Ray is wearing shoes. You get a couple of good shots of them standing right next to each other in reasonable posture and the difference is no less than 6 inches. As well, in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode Brad Garret's in, 6'1"-6'2" Will Smith seems, when they both stand next to each other in shoes, 1-2 inches taller than Romano when compared to Garrett. Now some debate Brad Garrett's height of 6'8" (but me not included) and for me it seemed Romano's 6'2", or his 6'2.5" listing, would probably be in shoes. Having said that I do agree that he can look taller, and short of going to the popular "he must wear lifts", I can't provide an explanation for that, other than perhaps some of those he's seen with are exaggerating their height also. shizzle says on 11/Feb/06
I'm watching the Pebble Beach Pro-Am right now and Ray was standing beside Eric Close. Eric is listed as about 6'0 and Ray looked a good 3 inches taller. Just FYI. Gramps says on 27/Dec/05
Jone, you are totally delusional! Hazza says on 27/Dec/05
I've searched a lot of websites and have found that Ray Romano is 6-3 and a half and Brad Garrett is 6-8 and a half. So if u want the real facts, don't look at a height-chart episode but actually look around and find what's actually true. Gramps says on 27/Nov/05
Regarding the Barkley/Webber/Garrett/Romano photo: I think the perspective is off due to the camera angle and maybe even the tilt of the camera. Plus Ray is slouching badly. There are too many other photos showing Romano as 6'2" to 6'2.5" for this to be relevant. I'm always seeing an occasional photo of a celebrity looking unusually tall or short. These are generally anomalies, or "flyers" in target shooting jargon, and should be ignored. Brett says on 27/Nov/05
Rob if Romano was 6'2" or more he would have looked closer in height to Barkley, what you think? Gramps says on 26/Nov/05
Guys, two comments: 1) Please double-check my links below that clearly show Ray to be near the 6'2" listed here. 2) A measuring stick used in a TV episode could easily have been made up for the show, bearing little relation to a "real" measuring stick. The story line wanted to make a point about this fictional character, so props could be made to fit the story line. Also, the markings on the measuring stick look unusually large, maybe to be easily read by a TV viewer. In other words, the measuring stick is likely as fictional as the show and therefore proves nothing. Craig says on 26/Nov/05
Well, Brett, you seemed to imply that Ray was under 6 feet because you said "realistically, why would they have the need to story about him being just under 6ft if it just has no baring on Ray Romanos life." I am trying to dispute that he is easily over 6 feet tall. Not the fact that he may be 6'1" or 6'2". That's all subjective depending on how you view his head up to the height stick, and how you guess his skull underneath his hair. From watching the DVD at all angles, he appears to be around 6'1.5" mark, so that would be my conclusion. My suggestion is to watch the episode and come up with a conclusion from all the angles, and see from there. Gramps says on 23/Nov/05
Guys, keep in mind that doorways made for studio sets are notorious for being undersized. It makes the actors look taller. They've been doing it for over 60 years. Since all TV/movie doorways are not of a standard (or necessarily the same) size, no conclusions one way or another can be drawn from an actor's stature compared to a doorway. Craig says on 23/Nov/05
I don't understand why there is doubt on this case. I have the episode on DVD. You can clearly see the added 2 inches FROM EVERY ANGLE as plain as day. No camera tricks, nothing. Buy the DVD, count the number of inches from 0 to 1 feet, then recall that no 1 foot has 14 inches. It's not hard to work out. The height stick is clearly 6'2" where it says 6'0".
It is ridiculous to think the story would be the same if you're striving to get to 6 foot or 6 foot 2". 6 foot is a psychological landmark to some. Who in the world would care about a story that says I'm 6'2", not 6'1.75". To go into a different "territory" from the 6 foot range into to the 5 foot range is what's supposed to make this a story. Not the fact that he lost 1/4".
If you follow the "Everybody Loves Raymond" series closely, you'll see that Ray only writes a few of the actual stories. Phil Rosenthal and a team of writers mainly write the stories. Many stories are based on their lives, not his. The family and behavior is based on his life, but individual stories are mainly on the writers'. Brett says on 23/Nov/05
Yeh I dont know what doors are more then 205cm, which is 6'8" 6'9" max, usually around 201 odd , atleast in my house. I cant see Garret being more then 6'7" and Webber cant be more then 6'8.5", as 6'10 would have made him look alot bigger in that pic. realistically, why would they have the need to story about him being just under 6ft if it just has no baring on Ray Romanos life ? , surely he could have done it for 6'2" and gone have claimed to always have been 6'2" but was only 6'1.5". Either way from that pic, It looks like a height stencil, not a makeshift thing which is bodgy, so I dont think each foot is different as such, plus the 3 different shots hae different camera angles, which really confuse you when comparing images. Either way, if you look at the diff between rays head and the 6ft mark, theres quite a gap, more like an inch or more, so Its a hard one to work out. Mr. R says on 22/Nov/05
I will stick to my eyewitness report that Ray is 6-2 heading toward 6-3. I worked with him on a pilot. Jason says on 22/Nov/05
How can Garret be 6'8'', Gramps? Chris Webber is 6'8'', 6'8 1/2'' at best in bare feet, and he is taller than Garret even though he's leaning down. CelebHeights Editor says on 22/Nov/05
Chris, a site visitor sent me this info:
"Rob, I see a discussion about the episode where Ray's height is 5'11
3/4" in your web site. I did a bit of studying (was bored) and came to
a conclusion that he is a bit under 6'2". I have the episode on DVD and
have captured stills of the measuring stick and where he comes up to
it. I believe this is finally the evidence where we can conclude Ray's true height. The the measuring stick used is clear from top to bottom...and Ray stands right in front of it without his shoes. The measuring stick is off, and the reason why it's off is because they added 2 inches to the very bottom of the measuring stick. The distance from 1 to 2 feet, 2 to 3 feet, 3 to 4
feet, 4 to 5 feet, 5 to 6 feet are all the same. However, the measurement from 0 to 1 feet is longer than the rest - 2 inches longer. Thus, I concluded this chart was raised by 2 inches from the bottom - probably the easiest way for the set builders to do this without looking so obvious. In addition, Patricia Heaton would appear to be 5'2" if this chart didn't have the 2" lift. Since they measured him at 5' 11 3/4" with the chart raised 2", he is 6' 1-3/4". In fact, some might even say he looks to be 6' 1-1/2", depending on how you view it. I hope this will finally prove to those who think he's under 6 foot, or over 6'3"."
If I can, I'll try to show these stills. Brett says on 21/Nov/05
The thing is from that forum, he said Patricia Heaton ( Ie rays wife in the show is 5'6") but shes actually only 5'2". If you see the difference between Ray and her in the show, you would think hes about 10 inches taller then her, so I think that source is not such an accurate one at all, plus, Ray is barely taller then Brad Garrets chin, he definitely is more then 4 inches shorter then Garrett, so I think Garrett is over 6'6" aswell. CoolJ says on 21/Nov/05
Brett,
Standard doors are USUALLY 6'8.. but the opening can be around 6'10" or even larger if the door is larger. Garrett is definitely 6'8-6'8.5 Jason says on 21/Nov/05
Yep, I'd already guessed he was no more than 6'6'' (he certainly didn't look 6'8 1/2'' in the Pacifier...) ... and he certainly looks it next to Chris Webber there. Brett says on 21/Nov/05
He does look more then 2.5 inches shorter then Charles, more like 5 haha as I said earlier, so hes 6ft even I reckon.
[Editor Rob: somebody on his official forums said they were at one of the recordings and
"The question I asked him when I say him was how tall Brad Garrett is? He is 6' 6". Ray is 6'2" Post is here
I think I'll give this guy 6 2 even...sometimes he can look shorter, but I'm still not sure on that episode about 6ft...
] Brett says on 21/Nov/05
Yeh Rob Ive met Barkley,as you know, and I was around the same height gap, or maybe a tad higher if anything then Ray is, I think Rays 5'11.75" in his show, may be his real height? As im 6'1", so I think the most he could be is 6'1". Also Barkley is around 6'4" to 6'5" but he doesnt look much shorter then Webber or Garret, I would think Garret is around 6'7 or just under with bare shoes, as he walks under a door with shoes on, and a door is about 6'7" to 6'8", and Webber definitely aint 6'10, Id say hes 6'8" or 6'8.5" and only 6'10" in his BBall shoes. After all the NBA will take players heights in their shoes, and will esculate most heights anyway. l0ck n l0ad says on 19/Nov/05
episodewatcher is right. There was one episode where his wife measures him and he's ready to see his 6 foot mark but then he's suprised to find out he's only 5'11 3/4" and his wife tells him sometimes people shrink with age a little. He keeps insisting that he's 6 foot tall, gets really frustrated that he's not 6 foot on the mark and goes on and buy shoe insoles to make him feel as if he's a 6 footer in his shoes... that's more or less that storey line...
I have never met the guy personally but why would he down play his height?
It's true Brad Garrett is very tall and may give a dillusion that Ray is shorter but just looking at Ray he seems a bit shorter than you listed him probably 6 foot is more accurate IMHO.
By the way I always thought Brad Garrett was dull and lame (cuz of the part they gave him in everybody loves raymond) but I saw on Oprah once damnnnn the guy couldn't stop talking he's funny as hell!
[Editor Rob: I've never seen the episode so can't comment. It may have been more story sense to use 6ft mark vs 6ft 2 mark say...I dunno, I might dig out the episode from somewhere and have a look] episodewatcher says on 28/Oct/05
Ray Romano is likely just under 6'. There was even an episode about this, Ray and Debra were talking about looks and he was giving her grief for women being obsessed with their body image. She shot back asking why he tells everyone he is 6' when he's really 5'11 1/2. 6'3 just isn't plausible. He isn't significantly taller than the female leads, Debra and the woman who plays his mom. 6'3 is an absolute myth... Anonymous says on 9/Oct/05
Ray is exactly half inches maybe less shorter then i am
I am exactly and i mean exactly from 6 ft/1/2 inches to 6/3/4 depends on the day
There was a show everybody likes Raymond when he is being measured,and his wife tells him you are quarter inches short of 6 ft,and he says hes 6 ft
So he is between 6-6.1 in tall and thats a fact Anonymous says on 4/Oct/05

There is no way on earth ray romano is that tall, look at him next to his like 5ft wife in everybody loves raymond, he isnt more then 6ft sam says on 23/Sep/05
Jackman said he was only 183cm when he first became big, because he was worried he was too tall for the roll wolverine, Ive met hugh before, and he is 190cm, he is very tall, he wouldnt be the one to wear lifts, he already thinks he is too tall, more likely others wear lifts around him, like ll cool J. But yeh he use to say he was only 6ft, but people soon began to catch on, when he dwarfed 6ft actors like john travolta Anonymous says on 23/Sep/05
is gotta be 6 foor 2 because regular people would look 5 foot 3 near garret and he is taller than hackman sam says on 23/Sep/05
did you see him next to hugh jackman at the emmys, was a big height diff, like 3 inches. so he is 5'11.5 he claims Mr. R says on 22/Sep/05
The surprise here is that Ray has become a person of contention. Gibson, Cruise, and Pitt make sense - they epitomize American manhood. But Romano? I met Ray two years ago at SONY Studios, and he was taller than I thought - I actually initially reported the 6-3 sighting. Some of the pics on here dispute this very well.. But I do believe that he is at least 6-2 and a little over. One way to tell is to look at old Lettermen shows. Ray's show was produced by Dave, and he used to be on a lot, especially when the show was struggling. He was at least the same size as the 6-2 Lettermen, and seemed a little taller. Anonymous says on 22/Sep/05
Theres no crediblity on this site, if It lists romano as 6"3 haha, what next, danny devito is 5"10?
[Editor Rob: danny IS 5ft 10 in his mind. I mean to come back to this romano guy...I was going to shave a cm off him the more I see of him, but lower than 189cm? The guy at times looks to have a relaxed posture and sometimes can appear shorter...hmm] Sam says on 21/Sep/05
well I think you have obvious proof that he isnt anywhere near 6"3, Jackman and sorbo are like 3 inches taller then him, both are 6'3". Plus he claims to be 5'11.5 so why argue with the man, he looks nowhere near 6'3" anyhow DP says on 21/Sep/05
You only lie about your age when you're UNDER 6'. Can't for the life of me understand why someone 6' and above would even need to lie. supes78 says on 20/Sep/05
Not that I'm saying that Ray Romano couldn't be shorter but what does he have to gain by lying about his height? The guy's a comedian, not an action star or athlete. sam says on 19/Sep/05
There is proof ray isnt 6"3. At the emmys, he excepted an award from Hugh Jackman, and looked several inches shorter then hugh, who is meant to be 6"3. The difference was seriously obvious, probably near 3 inches. I have met hugh on several occasions, and he is 190cm, so Ray is no more then 183cm. Ray doesnt look anywhere near 6"3 anyhow, in his show he claims to be 5"11.5 so whered you get 6"3 from, go watch the movie mooseport, youll realise how wrong his height is Mr. R says on 6/Sep/05
James, Bill Clinto is usually listed at 6-2 or a half an inch over that. I met him and I can vouch for at least 6-2. J. says on 1/Sep/05
I think I might have to quell my 'Ray ain't tall' doubts and actually cut the poor guy some slack. I know for a fact, as a person who experienced a late teen growth spurt, posture is a problem. You grow to have posture of someone who's shorter because you haven't grown into your full height. I know this all too well and often find that people think that I'm way shorter than I'm really am. My posture's pretty bad so this counts for that. So, there is a possibility that Ray could be maybe in this height range and his bad posture makes him come across shorter. Plus on 'Raymond', the camera angles favor Brad, to emphasize how tall he is. So, now with all this, I can maybe believe that Romano is actually a tall man.
[Editor Rob: I'm tempted to give Ben Stiller back that 1cm for that posture reason ;)] Anonymous says on 1/Aug/05
The commentary and special features of the 1st season of "Everybody Loves Raymond" have references of Ray's real brother being "a little" shorter than he is. In fact, there is a picture of Ray and his brother together in a photo. If both are standing up straight, Ray is no more than 3" taller than his brother. Ray mentions that his brother is about 5'10" in the pilot commentary. So I would say he is 6'1" max, according to this and many other photos. g-dog says on 20/Jul/05
in an episode of everybody loves raymond, his wife measures him and hes 5'11 and 3/4 and hes sad becaus ehe always thought he was 6 feet. now this might have been strictly for the show but i had a feeling it was based on a real life inside koke sorta thing.......... Anonymous says on 7/Jul/05
Where are a lot of episodes of Everybody loves Raymond, where he is wearing sandals, and where the top of his head, reaches Brad Garrett's eyelevel. And according to this page, that difference is about 4.5 inches, (maybe a little more in Brad's example). That means, Romano is 6'3".
[Editor Rob: yes, I would say a little more...maybe Romano sometimes slouches and comes across shorter...] Mr. R says on 5/Jul/05
But CasperUK, I don't watch the Raymond show, but what I have seen, Ray tends to slouch a lot as part of the role for his character. When I saw him at SONY, he was standing straight up and seemed between 6-2 and 6-3. The other point is that Kevin Nealon, who is 6-4, was standing there as well, and Ray was maybe an inch and a half or so shorter. CasperUK says on 5/Jul/05
Certainly the height disparity between Romano and Garret suggests much more than 5.5" height difference. I would say even 7-8". Watch Pet Cemetary episode when they are all in the rain, Garret literally TOWERS over Romano by a good 9"+ easily. 6'3? Please stop smoking the green stuff people. Romano also talks alot about the issue of height in interviews which leads me to think that he is uncomfortable with his lack of height relative to Garret so he might be wearing 'special' shoes in episodes to close that gap up. 6'3 with special shoes quite probably, 6ft (180cm) in real life (natural height). Anyone w ho says he is 6'3 naturally has got to be smoking some real good stuff. CasperUK says on 4/Jul/05
Mr. R, if Ray Romano is 6'3 tall (do you mean natural height, or with shoes etc?, because then i can maybe believe it) then Garret must be 7ft tall as the difference between the two is MASSIVE and if BG was 7ft tall, surely there would be much more commotion about his height etc? Come on people, lets keep things in perspective. Ray is around 6ft tall naturally but can put on the 3" he needs to appear taller, to say that he is 6'3 naturally (190cm by the way!!!) is absurd!!! Mr. R says on 30/Jun/05
Sorry Anonymous, I worked with Ray Romano and he is between 6-2 and 6-3. Anonymous says on 30/Jun/05
Ray is 6 foot tall, he said that in one of his episodes, where he thought he was shrinking. But he is 6 ft exactly, because he said it himself many times in that episode CasperUK says on 30/Jun/05
Perhaps 6'2, early in the morning with shoes on but looking some episodes of Raymond he gets COMPLETELY out-towered by Brad Garret, who is probably 6'8.5 with his shoes on (people like to measure themselves with shoes on for extra self confidence). How does a guy who is supposed to be 6'3 (which is 5" taller than the AVERAGE height of a man) be made to look like a tiny midget. I would put Romano at 180cm (5'11), but this shows and combed back hair certainly give him the extra inch or two to make him look 6ft2. I would place him at 5'11 naturally and with help of shoes, hair and camera angles he can certainly pull off 6'2, 6'3 even according to some *cynical tone* Anonymous says on 17/Jun/05
I think there might be a chance, that Ray could be 6' 3". In an episode of "Everybody loves Raymond", Ray meets Terry Bradshaw, who also is 6' 3", and they where eyelevel. npeez says on 16/Jun/05
Ray is about 6-1 maybe 6-2 I would estimate though i could be wrong I Was just watching an episode of everybody loves raymond and noticed when he and brad garret were standing next to each other bg seemed much more then five inches taller id say about 7 I am 6-4 and my father is 6-9 and when we stand next to each other we seem closer in height then ray and brad though at 50 my dad could have lost some height Anonymous says on 11/Jun/05
Lmeister, if Raymond is 6'3, then Garret is 7ft tall - which i doubt as there'd be much more commotion about it.
Remember the episode when Kareem Adbul Jabbar came on, he is 7'4 tall and was EASILY a head's height taller than Raymond - around 14/15". I'd put Raymond at 6'1 and not highter than that unless he is paranoid about his height next to BG and resorts to elevations and big hair. J. says on 8/Jun/05
Thank you CasperUK because your post confirms what I witnessed all this time. How the hell does a guy who's supposed to be 6'3"- 6'4", 6'2" even, get completely towered by the 6'8" guy?!?! If he truly were the height he's listed, the height difference between he and Brad wouldn't be so great. They'd be eye level or close to it. Also there was a episode of ELR where the guys are putting together a basketball team. The guys are all lamenting that they don't have a strong enough player. Then one goes something to the effect of "let's get Robert [Brad's character], cause he's so friggin tall. He's on the only tall guy". That should be a tipoff, people, that Mr. Romano ain't that tall. CasperUK says on 7/Jun/05
Come off people. I think Ray is around 6' in real life without shoes and thats the most i would give him. Here is why:
Watch the Pet Cemetary episode in ELR: When they are all standing outside, and everyone talks, the camera pans onto the cast as a group shot, Brad massively towers over Raymond by a good 9" i would say EASILY. Ray comes just below the ear height of Robert (the bottom of the ear that is). That is why i dont rate Ray as being that tall, certainly not 6'3 as most people state, although camera angles, elevations in shoes and big hair do give that impression at times, BG alwways has a good 6-8 inches on Raymond - ALWAYS.
Secondly - watch the Superbowl game where Ray gives Gianni a ticket and Robert and Frank stand next to each other in the kitchen to confron Raymond. Garret massively out-towers Boyle by a good 10" or so easily. This leads me to think that Frank is around 5'10-5'11 and has shrunk quite some bit in his old age. He still is a large man for an old guy but slightly taller than average now. My grandad was 6'7 in his prime (20-35 lets say) and weighed 300lbs of solid muscle (he was a loader onto lorries in Pakistan - formerly India, and could load 50kg sacks without any difficulties at all). When he was 80 he had shrunk down to 6'4 inches and last year, when he was 97 he had shrunk to 5'11.5 and weighed just over 160lbs. Old age causes the spinal muscles to decompress, loss of posture and huge weight losses. Frank isnt 6'2 by a long stretch. 5'11 is the max i would put him at and Ray at 6'0 in all reality. Mr. R says on 7/May/05
But Squa, Clint is standing much straighter than Ray. We also can't see if the ground is level where they are standing, especially since it is a golf course with lots of slopes. Manny says on 1/May/05
but how much of that is Hair?
he tends to comb his heair upwards - i also saw that show and hes clsoer to 6 feet or so his show said. Mr. R says on 17/Apr/05
Well, Smoke agrees with me. It must be true, and I can hear the cracking sounds of hell freezing over! Two other points: 1) I saw Taxi Driver last night in Hollywood, and Peter Boyle towered over Robert DeNiro, even with Deniro in boots! He was at least 6-2 in his prime if not a little taller, and maybe has not lost as much as we think. 2)I heard that Brad Garrett was measured recently, and was told that he had grown, and he is now over 6'8". Our perception of Ray's height might be affected by Brad's. Stay with me Smoke! Smoke says on 17/Apr/05
I'm pretty sure he's 6'2"-6'3", I posted a good pic of him with Tiger Woods, Chris Tucker, and Kevin James and Ray does look the tallest. I'm with Mr. R on this one (how often do you hear that?), if he's 6'0"-6'2" then both Tiger and Tucker are struggling with 6'0". Smoke says on 31/Mar/05
I was skeptical at first too, Romano just doesn't look a 6'3" guy, but after looking at some pics I really think he is about 6'3". If Chris Tucker indeed 6'1", and Tiger Woods is indeed 6'2", Romano is indeed 6'3". If you also look around for some pics of Chris Tucker with (supposedly 6'1" Venus Williams), Tucker is taller than Williams, even while Williams is in heals. And Kevin James certainly isn't looking 5'10" in that shot either, he's definately the 5'8"-5'9" that folks on this site know him to be. matt says on 31/Mar/05
To answer J & Squa, it may have been a better story for Ray's character to have fallen just below the 6' mark. Their seems to be some significance to this height, as though it is the difference between short and tall, at least for some. I don't think that his character could have been as immasculated by shrinking a quarter inch from 6'3". Also, if Brad Garrett is 6'8" then Ray can't be only 6' because they never look that far apart from any angle, wearing any footwear. 6'3" looks just about right.
Squa says on 26/Mar/05
Like "J" says, why would he make himself shorter than he really is, in the episode where he´s shrinking...?
It just seems odd to me, to make yourself shorter.. Mr. R says on 19/Mar/05
I would agree with Smoke and J that Romano doesn't look 6'3". But if you look back, he is taller than Letterman, whose company Worldwide Pants produces Raymond. Also, Dennis Haysbert is just over 6'4", and yes, that makes Romano about 6'3". The other issue is that I had Kevin Nealon there for a comparison, and I do believe that he is 6'4". He is definitely taller than 6'2", and is close to 6'3". Smoke says on 19/Mar/05
This guys just doesn't look 6'3", Peter Boyle was supposedly 6'2" until he shrunk and looks about an inch shorter than Ray nowadays. Then again seeing him beside Dennis Haysbert who's supposed to be 6'4.5" he only looks a little over an inch shorter. Still I think he's closer to 6'2" than 6'3", he looks dead on a foot taller than 5'2" Patricia Heaton. J. says on 19/Mar/05
It's weird because he doesn't look that tall. There was an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond that aired in 1998 where the character of Ray's 6 foot frame begins shrinking. So, I wonder if that's his real height. I'm sorry but 6'3" doesn't add up based on different photos. Yet, I'll take Mr R.'s word. Mr. R says on 19/Mar/05
Okay, I worked on a pilot for a talk show, and Ray Romano was a guest. I actually believe that he is close to 6'3". One way I could tell, is that the other guest was Kevin Nealon, who is definitely 6'4". I was backstage when Ray came out of makeup, and I saw him walk past Kevin Nealon. (Oddly they did not speak.) There was about an inch difference between the two. Ray is about 6'3". |
