Interesting that Neill wasn't tall enough for Bond. If he's 5-11.75, he would have been the only Bond that was within a half inch of the original description of Flemming's character; 6 feet 0 and 167 lbs.
All of the others were 1 to 2 inches above this.

181cm now 182cm peak Daveyy says on 11/Nov/09
perfect 6ft in Jurassic Park next 5'10 Laura Dern Daii says on 12/Sep/09
He looked 5'11 ish to me in Jurassic Park. Not over 6 feet anyway. 181-182 cm I would guess, or 5'11.5 Lenad says on 24/Jul/09
181-182cm now 182-183cm when younger Jim C. says on 18/Jul/09
Not looks taller than Hugh Grant (5'11"-5'11.5") in "Sirens", instead shorter in some scene. Hugh 190cm says on 3/Jun/09
6ft in Jurassic Park. RICHARD says on 27/Apr/09
Goldblum is 6'4 so 6' for Sam seems fair enough. Lenad says on 10/Apr/09
I think that indicates Goldblum is 6'4 min James. Neil is 181cm min in my eyes. He looks tallish while Goldblum is really tall. Lenad says on 22/Mar/09
I personally think 182-183cm. Andrea says on 25/Feb/09
I met this delightful actor on a movie set eight years ago and I would guess he's at least 5'11.5'' Hugh says on 12/Jan/09
Times change, James. Cubby Brocelli died in '96 and since his daughter took over things have changed. Daniel Craig's a joke anyway. Hugh says on 27/Nov/08
At peak it's a possibility. But then again producers didn't choose him for James Bond because he wasn't tall enough. James what would say is the minimum height for an actor to play bond? RICHARD says on 15/Oct/08
He always looks 5'11/6' in all his films. I don't see how people ask for a downgrade when he clearly looks 182 cm Hugh says on 12/Oct/08
I have a vague memory of seeing that picture James. He looked about an inch taller than Diana who in heels would have been 5ft11.5. RICHARD says on 10/Oct/08
A website lists him at 6'(1.83 m),yet this place lists him at 5'11 so he's one of these two. He's actually above-average in height. RICHARD says on 28/Sep/08
Looked 5'11 in The Mouth of Madness. Don't forget he wasn't much taller than Nicole Kidman in Dead Calm and was 1 inch shorter than Billy Zane in that movie,too. Korben says on 8/May/08
I think a solid 6ft looks it in merlin Early says on 7/Mar/08
Passed him today on Waterloo Bridge. I thought 5'11, but it was a quick glance. Anonymous says on 16/Dec/07
Connery looks to have about 2" on Sam Neill in The Hunt For Red October. I say that he is 6'.
P.S.- You know that Sam Neill was considered to play James Bond in 1987 for The Living Daylights. Back then producer Cubby Broccoli said that James Bond had to be at least 6'. blink 198 says on 30/Nov/07
back in early 1980s he looks good at 6ft1.. Anonymous says on 25/Apr/07
He does look enormous in 'Possession' (a favourite film, although not one that I'd recommend to most people,) but I think that has more to do with the height of his co-stars (Adjani is about 5'3", and the fellow playing Heinrich was probably 5'7") and possibly the camera-angle in that first shot of Neill and Adjani together (which makes the height difference look even greater than it is) tubbs says on 4/Dec/06
barely taller than Darryl Hannah in The Memoirs of An Invisible Man, Chevy also towered over him in that movie too. 5'11 tops. Stephen says on 13/Sep/06
Sean Connery towered over him in Red October. MHouillon says on 23/Jul/06
Sam Neill is a 5'11.5 maximum. Rob, time to downgrade him ! Gonzalo says on 19/May/06
6 feet sounds reasonable for him. He was a couple of inches shorter than William Hurt in Until the end of the world Frank2 says on 18/May/06
Sam is slightly taller than me and I'm 5'11" so I'd put him at about 5'11.5". yoto says on 27/Feb/06
5'11'' rob downgrade. |
