Tom Welling towered over him in the tv series "Smallville."
----
That's because he is 6'0 today, and was already around 6'0 at that time, he's 33 years older than Welling.
6'1-6'1.25 peak
6'0-6'0.25 now

He was clearly taller than 6'0.5 Harrison Ford in Blade Runner.
Great guy by the way, my aunt has met him and sayed he's awesome and down to earth.

One note about Hauer: I just watched him in an HBO Film from the early '90s titled BLIND SIDE. Great little thriller with Rutger, Rebecca DeMornay (looking absolutely beautiful!), and Ron Silver. DeMornay's character described Hauer's Shell character as "blonde, 6'2", and handsome in an outdoorsy way." He definitely looks a legit 6'2" in BLIND SIDE. Watching him in several other films from the '70s and '80s, I'm thinking that 6'1" is bare minimum--I think Rutger was more like 6'2" as a younger man. I also recently saw him in the fantastic HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN. He may have lost a bit of height--today, in 2011 at the age of 67, I still think he's bare minimum 6'1".

Great actor--plays some of the most terrifying villains ever to hit the silver screen. Very intense in early Paul Verhoeven films, but I like him best in 1981's NIGHTHAWKS as the vicious terrorist Wulfgar. He was tall as a young man. I just watched him in 1973's TURKISH DELIGHT and he is at the very least 6'1"--in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he was 6'2" or close to the mark. In any event, he's at least 6'1"

I am surprised Rutger is only 6-1 I always thought he was more like 6-4. He towered over 6-1 Harrison Ford in Blade Runner, or that was just trick camera work.

186cm peak
184cm today

I always thought he was like 6 ft 3 or 6 ft 4.

He's the sort of 6 footer who can look real big.

Talking of tall places. Im 6'0 and live in Lincolnshire in England. It is a large rural county of a million people which was once under Danelaw. For that reason most people here are of Danish and Norwegian origin (surnames, town names and even hair colour - google blonde map of Europe). Anyway. People are tall here. Seems like the average height for men in Lincolnshire is well over six foot. Especially the younger generation.

@ Peter

Tallest in the world are actually Montenegrins, but Dutch are very close

Bon says on 7/Dec/10
No more than 6'1 peak, he just has that massive and robust build which makes him appear taller in already legit tall zone.
