190 it´s too much for him ( if a cm matters, I´d say 1'88-189)
Lenad says on 27/Jul/10
190cm out of bed Sid says on 27/Jul/10
I saw Tom welling at the studio in a newer suit, it's not that bad, I was on the sky train, I didn't even have time to take a picture, sky train fast just saw a glimpse, season 10 looks to be supermanish..he does kind look like superman in that newer suit, it's a sham I couldnt take a picture. Alex says on 26/Jul/10
I remember that scene. We should only pay attention to the first photo where Tom´s face is in front of Jared´s, according to what Da Man said below. But we should notice that Tom is trying to stretch, just like when someone tries to speak, intimidate or reach the height of another who´s taller. So the 1.5'' (4 cm) height difference that Da Man said could be a real height difference of 5 cm between Tom and Jared if Tom was in a natural position. So 1'93 (Jared's height) minus 4-5 cm = 1'88-1'89 for Tom. Da Man says on 25/Jul/10
Tom's eyes are just below Jared's nostrils, which should work out to just over a 1.5" height difference. In that last pic when Tom gets right in Jared's face they are on a level surface (like in the CW premiere pic). When he steps back you can see he also steps down off of something, like a small curb. The lines show the height variance between the two frames. Alex says on 25/Jul/10
The difference of 2 cm can be due to Jared being more stretched that Tom or having better posture at the scene, I said that 1'91 is too much, but I think it's clear that 186 it´s too low for Welling. 188-189 is fine. mariano says on 25/Jul/10
Last photo is the best, I also uploaded a video showing that scene. This is what I tried to say, if 2 cm are important, Tom welling is 189 cm. We can see Tom´s eyes are the same heaight as Jared´s mouth, so measure the distance between your mouth and your eyes and that´s all. I think 189 is fine to him
Padalecki is 193cm and the distance between your eyes and your mouth is 6cm, maybe even 7cm and that would make Welling 186-187... Alex says on 25/Jul/10

And he said that he is almost 6'3', so 6'2-6'2.5 seems fine to me Yaspaa says on 23/Jul/10
Yeah, but Hartley isn't a 6'1 guy or Rob would have him down as a 6'1 guy and also - 2cm is important, it's a height site, precision is paramount. Alex says on 22/Jul/10
I think no one doubts here thar Welling is a big man! In fact, Are 1-2 cm important? If you take a rule and you measure 2 or 1 cm, you´ll see that it´s insignificant, I just said that 1'88-1'89 cm seems better to me that 1'91 cm. mariano says on 22/Jul/10
next to Rosenbaum he looks quite like 6´3 clark says on 21/Jul/10
I will admit that the 2 inch heels is a bit of an exageration, but they are big heels. But as the "Blur" you want to look "super" in every way. These guys are tall, no question about that, but if you work in Daytime, Primetime, or movies --actors are always jockeying to be the best. And height, is a big part of man's EGO. Alex says on 20/Jul/10
Anonymous, I remember seeing the photos in this page and I remember seeing a photo of Welling's farm boots and they clearly have about 2 inches heel. I´ll try to find a photo in the net because no mortal could find this photo right now in this page =P Hugh says on 20/Jul/10
"Anonymous says on 19/Jul/10 "
Those interviews mean just he is 6'1" or 6"1.5" max, and it is confirmed in what we can see in Rob's picture with him: nothing more than a 6'1" guy. clark says on 19/Jul/10
I would really like to see actor Paul Satterfield play the "Eradicator" his resemblence to Christopher Reeve in the context of the Superman story would be a first in television. I think the writers could weave a great story. RIP Chris clark says on 19/Jul/10
I think he was joking about the heel. Actually, the heels Tom wears as the "Blur" look almost like 2 inch heels--that is alot. There are monster cars and he wears monster boots as the blur. And yes, I think that Justin might be a bit taller than Tom. You don't have to be in film to see the angle shots that are used when these two are together. Viper says on 19/Jul/10
Paul Walker is shorter than all those guys Anonymous says on 19/Jul/10
@Alex, no, I don't think so. Green Arrow's boots are way taller than Clark Kent's. Refer to this interview from 2008 (link below):
Justin: I will tell you this, the Green Arrow costume boots have about a five inch heel on them and I never understood women saying I hate high heels. I thought it was the toes but it’s the cramp in your calf that kills you. After a half hour, I have to lay down and have someone stretch me out because my calves are bricks. The biggest Charlie horse ever and they want me to run in them and I look like a fool. But it’s fun, who else gets to put on leather head to toe and get paid for it.
Click Here
I've also read him say that the boots are 4", like in:
The article reveals that the Green Arrow costume is a challenge for Justin Hartley's agility. "The boots have four-inch lifts, so they're hard to walk in, let alone run in," he tells TV Guide. "It's a tough thing to pull off, but hopefully the camera angles will be done right, and you won't see me tripping all over the place."

Clark Kent had maybe 1" inch heels in his farmboy work boots and ~2.5" in his Blur ones.
In either case, Hartley was pretty definitely referring to barefoot heights when he said Welling was about 1 inch taller than him. Michael says on 19/Jul/10
I believe Tom Welling's height is close to Josh Hartnett, Ashton Kutcher, Paul Walker and Brandon Routh. 6' 2.5" - 6'3.5" Alex says on 16/Jul/10
Anonymous, justin could be talking about Tom wearing the boots/shoes that he always wears in the show and give him a 2 inch boost. Look at this vid. At 5:58 we can see Tom Welling with 6'4'' Padalecki. I,ve seen the film and I dom´t remember them to wear thick footwear. following this pic, I think 6'2'' (1'88) or 6'2.5'' (1'89) is very fair for him.

There seems to some folks thinking that Tom is shorter than Justin. Here's what Justin Hartley says in an interview from 2006:
The 6-foot-3-inch actor cheerfully volunteers that co-star Tom Welling, who portrays future Superman Clark Kent, physically outguns him on every level.
"Tom's got me by about an inch (and) outweighs me by about 35 pounds. The way they shoot it, they try not to make me look too small next to him, which is good," he laughs.

With regard to heights of the characters on the show, in the Absolute Justice episode, there was a scene where Cloe and Oliver find the Star Spangled Kid's notebook which contains brief profiles of the Justice League characters. If you pause the scene, you can read what it says about heights.
Clark Kent: 6'3"
Chloe Sullivan/Watchtower: 5'5"
Oliver Queen/Green Arrow: 6'2"
Martian Manhunter: 6'7"
Dinah Lance/Black Canary: 5'7"
AC Curry/Aquaman: 6'2"

Doesn't prove anything, I know, but the prop team seems to have put some effort into compiling this as the heights seem pretty accurate to me -- except for J'onn Jones obviously. Arrow says on 30/Jun/10
So, what height would you say Welling is, Rob? Considering that Hartley seems sometimes taller than him, and you have pointed Hartley at the same height as Welling.
[Editor Rob: I think 189cm is fair for welling. I think they are very similar on the show] Anoymous says on 29/Jun/10 says on 29/Jun/10
Rob,if Tom Welling may be 6.3 (191cm) early in the morning,that does mean he could be 6.2,75 (190cm) during the day and he could be 6.2,25-6.2,5 in afternoon-evening.So,Rob,could not you upgrade Welling at 6.2,75-190cm)? Because Welling himself has stated:"I,m almost six-foot-three".
[Editor Rob: almost could be 1/4 or 1/2 inch, I think he could be 6ft 3.5 out of bed.] anon182 says on 29/Jun/10
if u type 'tom welling interview with carson daily' in youtube, there is a video where tom welling meets carson daly on youtube. Assuming similar footwear, to my eyes Tom has 1 or 1.5 inches over carson daly, and Daly is listed as 6'1 on here, so 6'2.5" sounds bang on really. I don't think he's more than that Yaspaa says on 28/Jun/10
Consistently? RampageClover 190.8cm says on 25/Jun/10

Sam Witwer is just 5'10".
Tom Welling himself said he is "almost 6'3" ". Stop dreaming, he is under 6'3". Nobody would say less than his/her real height, and this is more true for actors.
Anonymous says on 24/Jun/10
Tom Welling's got to be 6'3" - 6'4". He looks very tall in Smallville, and even taller in his interviews. His castmates and friends all comment on how tall he is. Sam Witwer and Erica Durance have even said they think he is 6'5". I don't know about 6'5", but his cast members work with him daily
so I think they would have a very good idea of his height. He towers over guys like Michael Rosenbaum (6'0") and Sam Witwer (who is 6'1") Anonymous says on 24/Jun/10

Ooh Darkseid, that's good. I think this season has revamped a bit, hopefully to prepare us for the redonkulously revamped 10th season. Da Man says on 27/May/10
I will say the Smallville season finale was good, much, much better than last season's...not saying much though. At this point they should go ahead and rename the show Metropolis and do a Superman show (especially after the flash forward they gave us in the season finale), I'd like to see this cast do it. A complete show revamp with Clark as Superman could be interesting and watchable.
I just feel like this show has been stuck in limbo for too long, it needs a major overhaul to shake up the status quo and spark some creativity.
It looks like next season Darkseid is showing up, with Granny Goodness showing up to see Tess in the hospital. It doesn't seem right that the non-flying red/blue/black confused Blur should be meeting Darkseid yet, this guy should have adult, experienced Superman shaking in his boots.

Robert Buckley, the guy in the middle of that pic, is supposed to be 6'1". Patrick says on 27/May/10
Hello guys! I’m back for a while ! Since I just cannot watch in France SV, I feel less interested all the more since as you know, I don’t feel it is still “Smallville”. Anyway, Tom is now older than superman was supposed to start his “career”!
As for people in New York, I can assure you that it depends on the day: one day you are surrounded with tall, even very tall people and the following one…you tower them at 6’1!
Actually, I repeat that when it’s about Caucasian people, traditional WASP, they are generally very tall (I am sorry but I never said or it was mistake, they were 6’3 on average! 6’1, yes).
It’s quite frustrating not to be able to see what you are talking about when referring to SV new seasons!
Yaspaa, DaMan and the others…what do you think of it “now” and how do you receive the “ten season” news?
Thanks in advance! Yaspaa says on 25/May/10

Green Arrow's boots have like 3-4 inch heels. I remember Justin Hartley in an interview saying something about having to get used to wearing high heels, just women do.
Also, here is behind-the-scenes pic of the episode Power: Click Here Note that Allison Mack is not only wearing really high heels, she's also standing on a box. So there's no way you can reliably judge height on the show unless you can see everyone's feet, and even then camera angles can make someone look taller or shorter than they actually are. Anonymous says on 19/May/10 says on 19/May/10
I don,t think Tom is 6,2.75 - 6,3 barefoot because he was 1- 1,25 Inch. taller than Alan Ritchson who is a solid 6,2 but Welling was wearing his 1,25- 1,5 Inch. boots so if you take off his boots then you got a 6,1.5- 6,2 guy.And also he was shorter than 6,3 Christopher Heyerdahl (although i don,t know how much shorter). For example, he also was 0,5- 1 Inch. shorter than 6,2.5- 6,2.75 John Schneider who also did wear boots like Welling,s in Smallville. Slightly shorter than Justin Hartley.And Welling himself has stated:"I,m almost six-foot-three". Hugh 190-192cm says on 19/May/10
Rob, I think this guys needs a downgrade. He genuinely looks no taller than Justin Hartley. If anything he looks a bit shorter. I think 6ft2in and no more or less is closer. And Maybe Hartley gets an upgrade. bartoldi says on 18/May/10
I'm 6'2'' (only 0.5 inches shorter than Tom) but I don't tower over the most of people as he do. It's very strange for me. In Smalville, Tom dwarfed the rest of te cast (except his "father"). Camera tricks? The rest of cast are short people? chessnuts says on 15/May/10
@Patrick and everyone else who is arguing for 6'3", I also believe Tom Welling is 6'3" JUST about at 190cm. But, sometimes you get shots like these which make me skeptical and perhaps, maybe, he isn't quite 6'3" but truly is 6'2.5". Take a look, I took some screenshots:

Aarod, yea right. aarod says on 9/May/10
and FYI people, models lie on their comp cards to be the "prefered" height, which for guys is either 6'1" or 6'2". if you list yourself as 6'3", you will lose jobs. tom is really 6'3" but his agent put down 6'2" on his comp card because he would have gotten less work being listed at 6'3"
my friend Mike was 6'4.5" as a model in my agency, and put 6'2" on his comp cards to get more work as well. unfortunately, because most clients saw through the lie of 2"+, he rarely got any print work or commercial, he mostly got runway or editorial work aarod says on 9/May/10
tom welling is 6'3" or better. i used to model in NYC for A&F back in the late nineties, and i met him a few times. i am 6'2", so i would say i am a good judge of his height Yaspaa says on 8/May/10

Sheesh with all these weird variations, it's no wonder it's hard sometimes to pinpoint height.

You seem to know what you're talking about regarding male heels (givves a kiss lol) probably with all the wrestlers heel tomfoolery, but if shox give you 1.3, how can Jensens circus boots only give 1.75.
Any Stargate fans on the Welling page? Da Man says on 10/Apr/10
I think it seems about right, he's getting probably 1/2"-3/4" advantage over Jared's boots and still comes out ~4" below him. Knock that 1/2" - 3/4" off and we have a 4.5"-4.75" difference, which is about spot on from what we've seen from a few scenes where Jensen lost the big boots. A 6'4"-6'4.25" barefoot Jared should equal a 5'11.5"-5'11.75" barefoot Jensen. Yaspaa says on 9/Apr/10
That would make Jensen taller than I thought then. Da Man says on 8/Apr/10
I get just under 3" on my tip toes, I wear size 14 US. To get a shoe with that level of incline would look ridiculous though, and his footwear is nothing along those lines, nor do they appear to be a custom type elevator shoe which are conspicuous.
The height of the pivot point of the foot is what determines how much footwear increases height. It's hard to get over 2" actual height increase without footwear looking silly. Most of your large looking boots don't increase height by more than 1.25"-1.5", Jensen is probably getting 1.5" to MAYBE 1.75" from his big heeled boots. Yaspaa says on 8/Apr/10
Women have smaller feet though. How tall would Tom be on his tip-toes? that's his max height without some kind of platform. Da Man says on 6/Apr/10
Jensen would be lucky to see 2" over barefoot with those big heeled boots, no way is Tom hitting close to 6'5" in his "Blur" boots either.
A woman's ~4" heel only provides a ~2.3" height increase. Anonymous says on 6/Apr/10 says on 6/Apr/10
If Jared does wear boots in that video next to Tom, i,d say 6.4 barefoot for Jared and around 6.5 with those boots on, so if Tom is 2 inches shorter than Jared, Tom is 6.3(at least with shoes on). Josh.J says on 5/Apr/10
oh my bad. yeah with boots he'll be pushing 6'4 ~ 6'4.5 but nowhere near 6'5 or 6'6 unless they're similiar to the monster lumberjack boots worn by jensen ackles. Da Man says on 5/Apr/10

I recall Lois in season 9 chapter 9 kick a bunch of newspaper at Clark feet and stood on them with heels but she was half an inch shorter than him that means his a pretty tall guy around 6'2 and a half min and 6'4 max . I mean he has towered guys like Aaron 6,Michael 6,Sam 6'1 and even Alan whose 6'2 but 6'6 is SUPER exaggeration Anonymous says on 2/Apr/10
I don't think anyone is saying he's 6'5" - 6'6" barefoot or even 6'4", but if he can appear that tall in his shoes or boots, he's got to be around 6'3", give or take a 1/4". I doubt he wears 3-4" heels, lol.

He sometimes can look just 6'2", especially when he's in his daily planet outfit, but his listing here is pretty much spot on. A good 189cm-190cm is what I see him as, and those big boots he puts on in the show definitely put him over 6'4" easily I'd say. Da Man says on 20/Mar/10

No he doesn't, Jared is notably taller there. That's the video I pulled the stills I posted on March 9 from. The height Tom has on Jensen is close to the height Jared has on Tom. Anonymous says on 20/Mar/10
padalecki def has shoe advantage he is wearing boots Hugh says on 20/Mar/10
Katie, the answer to your "why" can be splitted in two: (1) shoes and (2) horizontal video stretch. Katie says on 19/Mar/10
I dont understand Why but in this video Tom look a similarly tall as a Jared.
Click Here Hugh says on 19/Mar/10
I can't see any reason for Justin to say he is shorter than Tom but one: he is shorter than Tom (one or two cm as he said).
In fact I think he is 186 cm and Tom 187-188 cm. I still think nothing will tell us their precise height, we have to learn to live with this dreadful doubt. Patrick says on 18/Mar/10
Yes Vesper and the Eiffel Tower is taller than the ESB in NYork! One can say whatever one wants without mlaking that real! Justin is clearly shorter as he said it himself! Vesper says on 16/Mar/10
Justin is taller than Tom, Tom is max.187cm barefoot in my mind. Patrick says on 16/Mar/10
About the strange pic with Jared, is there anyone here who has, outside Daman and Yaspaa, the "slightest" notion of what "wide angle lens" means? Here we have what is called and "visibly" is an anamorphose. I compalin those who don't see it and keep driving their car or motorbike. Katie says on 16/Mar/10
I Agree with Rob statement. Tom is really tall man and in Smallville is taller than everyone else. And about Jared, almost everyone is smaller than him. I think he is 6'4- 6'5.
Justin really sometimes looks taller than Tom. But he could have bigger heels in that scenes.

Anonymous He isnt 6'3 shay shorter..My friend is 6'3 saw tom here in vancouver, shooting smallville..He was next to tom when we walked where all the production truck where on the side walk tom standing next to a crew member fiddling around with his phone. my friend stood next to tom for about min checking out the scene..buddy of mines where wearing sandles, tom looked a shay shorter then my friend..I'd 6'2'5 to 6'2'75 shay under. my friend is a full 6'3 known him for years..not quite 6'3, then I saw tom and micheal rosenbuam..when it was season 7, they where shooting at a church..I walked into a alley where all the production truck where.. rosenbuam and tom where standing outside. while tom was on the phone..yacking..i didnt take any picture..i just walked past them all the way to the alley..this was micheal last season which was season 7..

If he is 6'3" barefoot he would be 6'5.5" wearing those boots. The heels are more than 2 inches. Anonymous says on 15/Mar/10
I'm reading arguments against Tom Welling vs. Jared Palelcki. I see those pix and I think Tom was supposed to kind of slump a little to sell the intimidation that is shown in the scene. in Smallville, on the other hand, he is supposed to look taller than everyone else (which he usually is). Justin Hartley himself admits that Tom is "bigger" than him (in a commentary: S7, E11: Siren). I personally think he's about 6-3, but that's because Superman is supposed to be 6-4 (Reeve) but that would be a stretch. And let's not forget, especially in the current season, Clark wears big boots as the Blur. That probably adds the needed height to match the 6-4. And in scenes with the 6-3 John Schneider, he's the exact same height (give or take a centimeter). Red says on 11/Mar/10
Think Tom is a strong 6ft1.5inch man and not over this. Yaspaa says on 10/Mar/10
Yes we've come full circle......again. supermanfan380 says on 8/Mar/10
We do not know who is close to the camera. I am not arguing that Tom is as Tall as Jared, who I think is 6'4", I just do not think willing is under 6'2", and it looks like Jared is still closer to the camera.
Either that or the camera guys on SV have done the worlds best job at making Welling look tall as heck. He is always the tallest man in any frame, towering over the other actors. Likely he is both 6'2", and in good sized boots, and in perspective that favors his height.
Which is what it should be for Superman. Later on making the Clark identity work should be a challenge, not come easy. Its like a Mythic Demigod having to work hard to pass as human. Yaspaa says on 8/Mar/10
The second pic looks less. No idea about Jared's shoes, so another moot point really. Hugh says on 7/Mar/10
what shoes for jared? In those pictures their height difference is 6 cm at least. Yaspaa says on 6/Mar/10
Yeah and as we all know Jared only has a four gallon head. ;) Yaspaa says on 5/Mar/10
Smallville season 10 confirmed, I reckon in this season his true height will be revealed as an extra on the blu-ray set. supermanfan380 says on 4/Mar/10
John,
The camera used in that photo is also the type that makes things closer to it look much bigger.
If that in anyway represented the real difference, then Jared has a head the size of a 5 gallon bucket. Yaspaa says on 4/Mar/10
Not really, Tom is leaning back, if anything that shot is in Tom's favour. Hugh says on 4/Mar/10
John that's not the best picture to evaluate heights. We already discussed about that picture some months ago (even if I don't find those posts).
Jared compared to Tom is 2 - 2.5" inches taller, looking at lots of pictures. John says on 3/Mar/10
if Tom is 6'2'' or 6'3'' then Jared is 6'6'' easy
Click Here Yaspaa says on 2/Mar/10
You should see some of the armspans on this site, 6'7 is nothing. John says on 1/Mar/10
Phelps has 6'7'' arm span... He has measures that gives him a lot of advantages swimming. Tom has a proportional body. Yaspaa says on 28/Feb/10
The point is tall people can have shorter inseams, so it's pointless. Hugh says on 27/Feb/10
Yaspaa Phelps has very short legs, it's a well known fact... And it's not clear whether he is 6'3" or 6'4" till today. Yaspaa says on 26/Feb/10
No he didn't, and we've had plenty of pics up to prove that. twins says on 25/Feb/10
Ive always thought Tom was 6'1. Jared Palelcki had 3 inches on him in that movie Yaspaa says on 25/Feb/10
6'4 Michael Phelps buys 32" inseam. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10
male models and their inseams.
Arguably though msot of them are lying about their height :p.
In fact that's the best way to tell if a model or actor is lying about their height. you check their inseam and then look at their proportions. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10

In modelling terms 33" is normal for a 6 ish guy, keep in mind it depends on how you're wearing the pants.
I'm just trying to put things in perspective, if he's 6'2.5 he has short legs. Make of that what you will. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10
He used to be a model. Hugh says on 25/Feb/10
Bohm how do you know his exact inseam?
Anyway torso length can vary regardless of legs. Yaspaa says on 25/Feb/10
Hugh the arguement you make goes both ways. The last picure demonstrates boxes being used, The photo with Callum Blue he is wearing plimsolls. Now if he is 6'1 that means Callum Blue is 5'11 which means Chris Pine is 5'11. But we know Chris Pine is a strong 6'0. Also if he is 6'1 that makes Padalecki 6'3 or under, which he can't be.
Bohm, who are you, his tailer? 33" is more like 5'11-6'0 guy anyway. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10
He has a 33 inch inseam which is 6'1 guy leg. Hugh says on 24/Feb/10
Yaspaa in those last picures we don't see their feet. They can be on boxes, on big heels, or barefoot, we just don't know.
What we know is based on other pictures, videos, or on what people told.
John is not the first guy telling us he met Tom and he seemed to be 6'1" or 6'2". Yaspaa says on 24/Feb/10
They put people on boxes all the time to even shots out. Click Here Tom only looks 6'0 with Michael but looks 6'2 easy with strong 6'0 Callum Blue posted on the 5th.
Then we have this classic picture of Tom and Michael with Tom looking 2" taller tilting his head forward, Tom straightens his head we have 3".
Click Here John says on 23/Feb/10
I don't think Michael is standing on anything.
When Batman Begins was just released I search for Christian Bale height and in all websites he was listed as 6'2''. Now we know that he is almost 6'.
It's commun increase their heights when a person play as a Super Heroe. Hugh says on 23/Feb/10
Michael bended down because Tom hitted him with his left elbow. Hugh says on 23/Feb/10
So Yaspaa, how do you know about the box? Yaspaa says on 23/Feb/10
That would defeat the object wouldn't it. Hugh says on 22/Feb/10
Yaspaa i don't see any box. Do you? Yaspaa says on 22/Feb/10
John, michael is standing on a box to even the shot out, hence the bending down joke. John says on 19/Feb/10
He's 6'1... 1.85 cm
I met him in Wichita last year and we have the same height and almost the same weight. My weight is 200 lbs. Maybe he looks 1 or 2 cm taller because I'm bald and he has much hair.
In this day I was using my boots that gave me more 3 cm and Tom was using similar boots.
In this video he looks 1 or 2 inches taller than Michael (5'11'') Yaspaa says on 17/Feb/10
We new his super boots were large, but they make him 2" taller than Justin. Hugh says on 15/Feb/10

Yeah, I enjoyed it. Dr. fate with his chubby gut was hilarious. In one scene, Tom (in his super boots) looked about 4" taller than Shanks. Da Man says on 9/Feb/10
I thought the TV movie was pretty good, what did you think Yaspaa? Yaspaa says on 6/Feb/10
I didn't know Michael Shanks was in Smallville, got to go I'm only ten minutes in to the two parter. Yaspaa says on 6/Feb/10
A very polite question, It's from an older debate when Tom was fighting Heyerdahl in Smallville. Anu says on 6/Feb/10
Excuse me, Yaspaa, but what does that picture with Heyerdahl and Joe Flannigan have with Tom's height? Yaspaa says on 5/Feb/10
Here is a screencap of Heyerdahl with Joe Flannigan from Stargate Atlantis, Joe is on here close to 6'0 and heyerdahl looks much taller. Click Here Yaspaa says on 5/Feb/10
Tom is taller than Callum Blue. Click Here Patrick says on 5/Feb/10
DaMan, I was just refering to "the old episodes" of the past seasons, at the time of Lex! Don't forget i am in France, "a man from the past"!
It was then very rare, to see Justin as tall as Tom.
I tahnk you for the very trustworthy and accurate opinion you gave to me about "directing". That doesn't surprise me alas! Thanks again! Da Man says on 4/Feb/10
Tom doesn't always look taller than Justin, sometimes he does indeed look shorter (and vice versa). Patrick, the directing typically leaves much to be desired. After watching shows like Chuck, Fringe, Dexter, etc. and going back to Smallville makes the poor direction painfully obvious. Patrick says on 4/Feb/10
What Morgan Edge: there were "two" of them! One was about 6'1 and Tom was huge next to him, including in many pictures "off" shooting, and the other was 6'3 minimum and there are NO ONE shot showing them close to each other.
As for Justin, Tom always looked taller, sorry, and so claimed Justin himself! Hugh says on 4/Feb/10
Anu what do you mean telling us "that guy who played Morgan Edge"? Morgan Edge has been played by two distinct actors in Smallville: Rutger Hauer(6 ft) and Patrick Bergin (6 ft 3 in).
I agree with you about Justin Hartley and Callum blue. Anu says on 3/Feb/10
Justin Hartley seems so often taller than Tom. And Tom doesn't even look that much taller than Callum Blue. Am I wrong to pressume to think that TW's like 6'1? Tw wasn't even taller than that guy who played Morgan Edge Patrick says on 2/Feb/10
What about the "directing", the quality of the show now guys?
I feel so sad in thinking of how i was eager to watch my favorite show, not that long ago. The fact is that comes back to almost ten years now! Wow!
Does Tom look the same and about the same height or no?
Thanks for replying fellas. Yaspaa says on 30/Jan/10
Looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel Patrick. Patrick says on 28/Jan/10
DaMan...You make my day! Da Man says on 26/Jan/10
I am really starting to wonder if Smallville producers are reading this board, lol. It looks like Annette O'Toole just signed a deal to come back to Smallville later this season. So Ma Kent is finally coming back to Smallville, better late than never. Da Man says on 26/Jan/10

I can almost scratch my knee but still have to bend a little bit.
And my arms are long (80 inches my armspan, 73 inches my height). Well, my shoulders are really wide too... Yaspaa says on 20/Jan/10
I don't believe that. Paul says on 20/Jan/10

Well, is it really normal to be able to scrath your knee while bending? :p I got pretty long arms but I can't scratch my knee without bending. hmmm says on 20/Jan/10
i dont think anything is wrong with that armspan billy....im close to 5'11"(71 inches) and i have an armspan of 6'5"(77)..... Patrick says on 14/Jan/10
Yaspaa, one year ago, I would have been run away with enthusiasm with such a news (10th season). It more and more sounds Superboy will get older than Superman will ever be, as a caterpillar never turning into a butterfly...a 6'3 one! Yaspaa says on 12/Jan/10
I've read things are looking promising for a tenth season.
Happy new year to you Patrick and to the guys. Billy that's a perfectly fine arm span, it just means you can't scratch you knee without bending. Patrick says on 4/Jan/10
HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS! billy says on 2/Jan/10
Funny i have only a armspann of 75inch and i`m exactly 6ft2inch tall.Yeah, think Tom is a strong 6ft2.5inch man. Patrick says on 30/Dec/09
My last comment flopped (sigh!) Da Man says on 27/Dec/09
Kane wore combat boots in Smallville, not custom Munsters like Batista. Yaspaa says on 27/Dec/09
Kane had special boots though, didn't he? sid says on 26/Dec/09
Da Man Nothing everything has to be presices.... right...kane shoe size is around 16 to 17 I'd say..Tom welling shoes in smallville are 14 kane appeared on smallville he shoes looked huge next to tom's size 14.. Hugh says on 24/Dec/09
More likely 189.3cm Yaspaa.. Patrick says on 24/Dec/09
I still am sure Tom is no less than 191 cm but...who really cares?
I see things as such as they are dear Yaspaa and "see" how a film is made as naturally as you breathe.
I appreciate directors as Kubrick, Ford, Hitchcock or Hawks and can explain “why”.
I can assure you that just in watching the former SV, even you can immediately make the difference regarding quality of shooting.
Besides, I “have to” notice how far they go from the reality of the myth because if I don’t, what’s the point taking an existing hero?
Why not to create a new one?
The same about the awful Mission Impossible adaptation with a ridiculous Tom Cruise instead of the awesome TV team or Wild Wild West.
Superman happens furthermore to be the greatest for the reasons I expounded here many times.
There is deepness in him and while Batman still is a fabulous and fascinating character, he is human whereas Superman is “super human” while also a human being.
Dimension of characters make always the difference and here is why Hamlet or El Cid endure throughout centuries and will last ever after many modern characters will have died and be forgotten!
The same for actors, whether you like them or not, some of them are far greater and bigger than their own lives or their talent.
Not everyone is “destined” to become a myth, fictional or real.
Tom is a jewel in what he has everything from his look to his face and body structure and in what everyone can read immediately in his eyes, A man and something else that all the Brad Pitt and George Clownesque will ever have.
Michael and John Glover were also magnified by their respective parts.
Yaspaa, Smallville owes Tom most of what it is and this one deserves a treatment thereof.
I don’t despise nor spit on the new show; I just say it is not what it used to be.
Newness for newness is never a quality in itself. Renew something doesn’t imply to betray the past. Betray is certainly too harsh here but you have got what I mean.
Thereupon, I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Yaspaa says on 24/Dec/09
Patrick, I must admit, I know nothing about photography, cinematogrophy, all the movie ographies in fact, so as long as the camera man isn't drunk I don't notice. To enjoy Smallville now you have to watch it, in the moment, and not for the legacy it is supposed to represent. I love how Arrow has all the cash and resources, but Tom is still the boss. So much power packed in an erm, 189.4cm frame. Patrick says on 23/Dec/09
Thanks again for being so close to my comments. I do appreciate!
I agree with how you see the evolution of Clark as it was supposed to be in Smalville and I understand your viewpoint.
I don’t know about Lois and Clark but that’s too “obvious” to me (insofar I could see) and above all, too off the “real” mythology of Superman.
You forget a dimension of that mythology: the terrible dilemma of a man having to renounce by pure abnegation a normal and loving life just to be able to do “his” job: saving the world as much as possible.
That’s being up to what “gods” gave to him.
Don’t forget there is a messianic dimension given to this fabulous character created by people who are just still waiting for their own messiah.
Superman is great also and perhaps mainly for the strength he has to show in always overcome the desire of using his gods powers just for him, if only “once”.
Any other man however good he could be would fail, sometime.
If Clark “loves” Lois, where are the crucial point of his own fight?
He just becomes “normal” outside the fact never ever Clark had any romance with her but in the very bad Superman II.
This character is first and foremost “noble” beyond what is possible to imagine.
That’s what was so well done in the misunderstood and underrated Superman returns.
Clarks has to “strive in order to thrive” as the unique hero he is, by design.
You very well know that this romance is caused by “kind of viewers expectations” as it was in the fourth season.
The fact the chemistry works is due to the actors, not to the producers.
Don’t forget they have manipulated the story far beyond what had been done even in Lois and Clark!
Clark is maybe a producer among others and good for him.
If so, he’s partially responsible for that but I don’t think he has this power in the show. “Producer” has many “labels”.
I repeat, Superman is an absolute as in Europe Tintin is and nobody can’t change that without destroying all what he stands for.
Too many super heroes diminish super heroes and too human aspects do the same.
They might as well create another new hero rather than transforming him.
I repeat that is more “the way” they film the whole thing that as real movie and Tv show amateur, I dislike.
Cinematographically speaking, it’s really poor while it was the only TV show with a “cinema” touch beforehand.
I hope you are able to “get” what I try to mean fellows!
Sorry Ed Rob for being quite away from “height” topic. I deal here with “grandeur” of the character!
Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas my friends! Da Man says on 23/Dec/09
I agree with a lot of what you said, Patrick. The family feel of Smallville is definitely gone, and certain missing characters/actors are extremely hard to overlook.
Like I said I see both good and bad in the new direction. I like what they've done with Clark, I've been wanting to see the guy man up and take a stance for years and he finally seems to be doing it. The show, first and foremost, is about Clark's journey to becoming Superman, or in my view it should be.
The budget cuts are indeed obvious. I agree with Yaspaa that Tom and Lois have great chemistry, and I enjoy their banter more often than not. Yaspaa says on 22/Dec/09
I'm really enjoying the new show Patrick, I love Lois, and Tom and Lois have a really good chemistry which I'm digging. I like his new more forceful attitude, 'bout time. I love the super hero variety thing as well, it stops things from getting stale, which is the same reason I always preferred X-Men and the Justice league. I'm sorry you're so indignant toward the new format Patrick, stick with it, it may surprise you, who knows.
Hugh, I've noticed that a lot of stars end up being producers after a good few seasons, looks like Smallville is no different.
DM, sorry, I thought you knew him better, I'll not bring him up every time he fights lol. Hugh says on 22/Dec/09
Tom Welling is one of the current producers.. Patrick says on 22/Dec/09
Guys, thanks for responding and I agree with you Yaspaa.
DaMan, I think my English proves to be too poor to really evoke what I feel about Smallville. It never was to me, a real “superman” story amongst others.
Smallville had an identity full of humanity and warmness, a charm, lightness very refreshing with also great noble moments.
Remember all what brought John Glover and precisely Annette O’Toole!
Not to mention Michael Rosenbaum and John Schneider.
Now, it is dark and people more and more clearly defined.
It’s neither Clark-almost Superboy nor Superman, kind of “neither flesh nor fish”.
Now, it’s “another super heroes” series with very predictable and talkative characters.
I don’t need it.
Superman is a hero of light whatever do new so-called authors of the current comic books.
I’m certainly too old now but what I see in them now looks ridiculous and very badly drawn. Who has ever read superman from the late 60ies to the early eighties can understand what I mean.
As for Smallville, it was the only “colored” series since Star Trek (1966). Not any more, to think to endow appearance of seriousness and pseudo solemnity, they have to look “grave” and dark and talk which cost much less money than showing people in action!
Frankly, the new bad kryptonian is “bad” and as worrying as my president when he is showing off, namely…all the time.
Did you not notice that Clark was seen few and far between far more than “before”?
You know what, before it was a family you were a part of and now, just people seeming strangers to each other.
As for Lois…don’t tell me you prefer the new one!
It’s simply fake and not really done for another reason to prolong the rare show which is profitable to CW. The wish to make something original and “true” has gone with the former producers. I feel it and remember that I was the biggest fan or the show ever!
Regarding Justin and Tom’s height, I agree with you because it’s practically impossible to properly gauge a size from what we see on screen.
In an old French movie I was watching the other day, two actors, on the same floor, were in turn very significantly taller and smaller than the other depending on one going from the left to right of the screen. Same apparent angle and it was just incredible.
Optics is the most deceptive thing ever. Da Man says on 22/Dec/09
I like some aspects of the new season, but in other ways I feel it has been cheapened. But then again I got really, really tired of the old Smallville's Kryptonite "freak of the week", humanizing of comic characters (like Mxyzpltlk) and stagnant character development. How many seasons was Clark almost completely static as a character? I think the current direction Smallville is taking is more "comic book like". I just wish they would bring Martha and Lex back every once in a while, I think the show would be better for it. I'm actually looking forward to the 2 hour episode they have planned for Jan.
I'm really surprised you didn't appreciate Clark's new attitude, Patrick. Very little emo brooding anymore, which was never like Superman.
I have most of these episodes and DVR and can pause them frame by frame or play them in slow motion, and Tom and Justin's height definitely vary. There are some scenes where Tom is clearly taller than Justin and vice versa. They are close enough that footwear and posture can give either one the edge. I'd say they are most likely within 1/2", but in Tom's favor. Yaspaa says on 20/Dec/09
Patrick, I think if you don't like it after a few episodes, you probably won't like it at all. Hugh says on 20/Dec/09
@AAAA: LOL my wingspan is the same 80 inches, but I'm about 1 inch shorter than you. 12.5 inches my fist (don't know for what it's worth). Hugh says on 20/Dec/09
