wow really i don't know didn't see funny people because i can't stand seth rogen but maybe he was wearing lifts or seth rogen might be shorter than 5'11. anyways i think 5'10 flat for ving rhames would be more accurate.

How was Sandler a hair shorter than 5'1'' Seth Rogen if he's 5'9?

RisingForce says on 7/Dec/09
I didn't see the remake of The Longest Yard so I wouldn't know. They looked about the same in premiere pictures and Burt Reynolds in cowboy boots was struggling to look their height and I can't see Burt at less than 5'9.5" these days.

josh says on 6/Dec/09
i remember adam sandler claiming 5'9 when he was in snl before he started claiming 5'11 and i remember back than adam never looked 5'10 and look at him in anger management with jack nicholson and he was shorter than him and a lot are saying he is really 5'7 or 5'8 so there is no way adam is 5'10. by the way ving hangs out with ja rule? not a good look for him.

When Sandler slouches, he's 5'8". and he looks 5'8" here next to 5'5" henry winkler Click Here Click Here Standing up straight he's 5'9". go to winkler's page and you'll see 2 5'8" men standing next to him at exactly sandler's height in sandler's posture.

Also, sandler was shorter than 5'10" chris rock in THE LONGEST YARD.

RisingForce says on 3/Dec/09
Sandler is a minimum 5'9.5", but more likely 5'10" when he stands up straight. Sandler in sneakers was still about as tall as Burt Reynolds in cowboy boots. Reynolds was about 5'11" peak so still atleast 5'9" these days.

sandler is 5'9, not 5'10".

RisingForce says on 30/Nov/09
Not a great pic, but Ving and Tom Cruise Click Here

Ving and Jack Lemmon. Click Here
Ving and Ja Rule Click Here

Ja Rule is supposedly 5'6" and Jack Lemmon was said to be closer to that in his later years. But here's Ving looking taller than 5'10" Adam Sandler. Click Here

rich says on 12/Nov/09
in dawn of the dead he looks at LEAST 6'2....strange, must be that the other actors are short

RisingForce says on 7/Nov/09
Ving said in 1997 "I'm only 6 feet. Six-four is big to me"

RisingForce says on 31/Oct/09
Nah, he's not 5'9". He's clearly taller than 5'9" guys like Wesley Snipes and Kurt Russell.

josh says on 28/Oct/09
ving rhames at 6'2? i would say more like 5'9 because there is this one movie he did with terrance howard and he was 3 inches shorter than him and he is only 6 feet.

RisingForce says on 24/Oct/09
I actually saw him described as 6'2", 209 lbs. in an article if you can believe it. I think he's 5-11ish or a big lift wearer if he's shorter, but still 6'2" is comical. Kind of like Vin Diesel getting described as 6'4".

Hugh 191cm says on 22/Oct/09
179-180cm

RisingForce says on 22/Oct/09
Ving could be as tall as 5'11". He seems about 2 inches taller than 5'9" Wesley Snipes here. Click Here

About 2 inches taller than 5'9" Kurt Russell as well. Click Here

Wasn't he also taller than 5'10.5" George Clooney? Unless Rhames wears lifts or each of those actors are shorter than we think then Ving must be more like 5'11".

RisingForce says on 21/Oct/09
He's not under 5'10", Rob has him listed accurately. He's 5'10.5"-5'11".

Daniel says on 17/Oct/09
Rhames is no more than 5'10'', probably shorter

Anonymous says on 3/Sep/09
Not really much taller than Tom Cruise:

Also few inches shorter than Laurence Fishburne(said to be between 5'11-6ft):
Click Here
Probably shorter than Tyrese:

And there he is with cast of MI-3:

What do you think about this pictures? He doesnt really seem to be 5'10 to me but i can be wrong.

Ange says on 25/Aug/09
My bad, I was getting him confused with Michael Duncan! Oops.

RICHARD says on 17/Jul/09
It's also funny to see that a big,tough guy like Ving being the same height as Adam Sandler,yet you'd think he be massive next to Sandler since he's a burly guy next to a thinner guy. LOL

RisingForce says on 3/Jul/09
Ving reminds me of Vin Diesel and Telly Savalas because I expected all to be over 6 feet when in reality none are 6 feet. Telly and Ving are probablky 5'10.5" like they're listed here and Vin is probably 5'11.5".

Daniel says on 2/Jul/09
I agree Richard

RICHARD says on 9/Jun/09
Ving needs a downgrade to 5'9-5'10 because in Pulp Fiction he was shorter than Bruce Willis and then in Bringing Out the Dead he is shorter than Nicolas Cage by at least three inches. Willis is 5'11.5 and Cage is 6' and Ving only looks 5'10 MAX next to them. I'm quite surprised myself,too because I always thought Ving was 6'3-'6'4 before he stood next to taller actors.

unknown says on 26/May/09
Anonym...I remember entrapment and your right, they looked damn close! I feel maybe lifts were involved but I can't see Tyrese being listed at nearly 5 feet 11 when in "Baby Boy" the movie he was shorter by at least a half inch under Ving...go figure!!!

Luis says on 28/Apr/09
Anonymous, maybe in that film Rhames wear special lifts or something. He can't be more than 180 cm. In Pulp Fiction, when he's crossing the road in front of Bruce Willis's car, he looks more in the average height, not very tall. And Willis (181-182 cm) is slightly taller than him. Another example is Undisputed. Michael Bailey Smith is 193 cm and when he's standing next to him in the bathroom, he looks clearly about 15 cm taller than him. I think 178-179 cm is good for Rhames.

anonymous says on 28/Mar/09
i just watched entrapment again the other day and surprisingly he looked very close to sean connery's height (6 2) in that film... Hmm

RisingForce says on 22/Mar/09
Mr. R will like this downgrade. He claimed 5'10.5" all along. 5'10.5" makes sense. He looks like a solid 5'10" and his frame makes people expect him to be bigger than he is.

Clay says on 10/Mar/09
Yeah - props to you on the change Rob. Next up is giving Willis a .5 inch upgade!

Daniel says on 6/Mar/09
Well done, Rob. It was time for a downgrade, and I still think Rhames is no more than 1.78m peak

Daniel says on 2/Mar/09
How can this guy be listed here as tall as Bruce Willis when in Pulp Fiction Rhames was easily 3 inches shorter?

Jake says on 19/Feb/09
Change Ving's height to 5'10, I've even heard him state in an interview somewhere that fans are shocked when they see how much smaller he looks in person thsn in the movies.

Alex2401 says on 19/Feb/09
Ving is 5'10 at his best.He never looked 5'11.Range 175-178cm is fine but no 182,
no way.

Clay says on 16/Feb/09
Rarely do I say this Rob but time for a significant downgrade...

Clay says on 15/Feb/09
Didn't look taller than 5'10 Sandler in that movie. Whats head scratching is the people around here saying Sandler is barely 5'9. If anything Sandler edged him out by a half inch or so.

Vibram says on 9/Feb/09
Click Here Looks the same height as Tom Cruise (5ft7.75) who would be in slight lifts to make himself 5ft9.5 - 5ft10 in shoes. From this, could Rhames be no more than 5ft9? and perhaps even in the 5ft8 range?

RisingForce says on 29/Dec/08
Mr. R is right. Ving wasn't much taller than 5-9ish guys like Wesley Snipes and Adam Sandler plus he was visibly shorter than 6-0 max Nicolas Cage.

ZAQ says on 28/Nov/08
He is legit 5'10
in chuck and larry when adam sandler and him were in the basketball court standing face to face they were exactly the same and if sandlers 5'10 then so must Ving

thekiddd says on 20/Aug/08
The Funny Thing is he once said that people were surprised that he wasn't as big as they thought he was or something. But I always thought that 5'11 1/2" is to generous. I'm thinking he is about 5'11 or 5'11 1/4".

Mr. R says on 8/Aug/08
Ving is listed an inch taller than he really is. He is a little over 5-10.

adrian says on 29/Jul/08
i worked with him on teh set of Kojak and he was shorter then me by about at least an inch...im 5'10...i say he is 5'8, 5'9 tops

Dan says on 14/Jul/08
Looks about the same height as 5'9" listed Wesley Snipes in the shower scene in "Undisputed". Both are barefoot.

Daniel says on 9/Jul/08
Rob, What happened to the comment that was just before my last one?

Daniel says on 2/Jul/08
Yes, of course 5'10'' seems reasonable for Rhames

Cj says on 29/Feb/08
ving rhames said in a interview in the sky monthly magazine that he is 5ft 10in if i remember what i read a few years back anyway he went on to say people expect to see me at 6ft2in or 3 when they meet me but im smaller than i look im only 5ft 10in it could of said 11in it was quite a while ago but it shocked me when i read it becaues i thought he was a 6ft+ guy.

dmeyer says on 11/Feb/08
rob is 180 maybe 181 possible ,or is he alwais gonna be 182

[Editor Rob: you don't rule out little shorter no.]

Lmeister says on 11/Feb/08
Didn't really look much taller than Adam Sandler in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry". I think he is a weak 5ft11.

dmeyer says on 10/Feb/08
ths guy is 5'10.5 to 5'11.25 aleast 179 max 181 182 is a bit high

Daniel says on 18/Dec/07
If you watch Pulp Fiction, it's clear that Rhames is at least 2 inches shorter than Willis, who is listed here at 5'11.5''

Adam Brennon says on 1/Oct/07
Chris, perhaps you should consider his 200 lbs of muscle; it could well account his looking 'huge' at 5' 11".

Chris says on 24/Sep/07
I'm surprised this guy is only 5'11". Most times he looks huge.

dmeyer says on 20/Sep/07
he can look only 2 in on cruise when cruise has lifts cruise looked 0.75 in taller than 5'9 statham in collateral and 2.5 in over rufalo who is a 5'8 flat i met him ving could be 5'10.5

Mr. R says on 20/Sep/07
Thanks for your support Daniel!

Daniel says on 18/Sep/07
I agree with Mr. R. Rhames is 5'11'' or even less than that.

colton says on 13/Jul/07
he was 210 in undisputed cuz he had to get in boxing shape in dawn of the dead he was atleast 260.

vandal says on 10/Jun/07
Sharon, Danny Devito is 5'1 in his dreams.

Sharon says on 10/Mar/07
Well this is different. Ok he is 5'11 1/2, what the big deal? Where is the website that discusses this brother extradionary acting ability, I think that matters a hell of a lot more than how tall he is. Danny DeVito is 5'1 so what. I guess there are no lovers of the arts here, just those interested in outside appearances oh how boring... bye

Derek says on 2/Dec/06
I was wondering the same thing. He looks at least 240.

Anshelm says on 22/Nov/06
I remember him saying (more or less accurately) in Premiere magazine "I'm not that big. I'm 6 feet and 210 pounds". He also mentioned that people are often surprised that he's not as big as they've thought.

Ed says on 2/Nov/06
They must have given Cruise some extra special lifts, and used serious camera trickery in Mission Impossible 3 because he looks maybe an inch shorter than Rhames. I have no doubt Ving is this height, I just think it's comical that with boots he'd be near 6ft1, and little 5ft7 Tom Cruise can look near Ving's size. It just shows you that movies are a lousy way to judge height!

Derek says on 30/Oct/06
I was watching Baby Boy with Ving and Tyrese, and Ving looks marginally taller. A tad under 6' is likely for Ving.

Jason says on 6/Jul/06
I really took this guy for a 6 footer, maybe even 6'1. I think it depends on your build, because 5'11 seems to be tricky height to spot, some look 6ft or more, some appear 5'9ish.

Anonymous says on 9/Feb/06
even thaugh he is about 5'11.5" he seems tall maybe because he is big when you see him walking by himself he can easilt look 6'1" or 6'2"

Marc says on 3/Jan/06
I'm Watching Pulp Fiction now. When he was next to John Travolta he was about an .5" to 1" shorter than him. 5'11.5" seems about right. He's pretty burly so probably seems larger than he actually is.

MHouillon says on 30/Jul/05
Just saw Con Air. Rob! He´s a 181 cm max !

MHouillon says on 10/Jul/05
Okay, after watching "Pulp Fiction" and having a closer look to Ving yesterday, I´d put him to a exactly 181cm.

Mr. Awesome says on 7/Jul/05
This height seems fairly accurate...I actually don't think he appears as big on screen as people are indicating. In Pulp Fiction, he looks shorter than Bruce Willis, and he is one of the shortest guys in that film, 'cept Harvey Keitel (who looks short next to anyone and I seriously doubt his claim to be almost 5'8''), and Tim Roth (who is never seen with Ving and is sitting 90% of the time). Pulp Fiction was first movie I had ever seen with Ving in it, and the first time I watched it, I estimated him at 5'10''-5'10.5'' not knowing who he was or his real height. Although I tend to think he's slightly shorter than the mark you have him at, Rob, he certainly could be 5'11''. I think Mr. R is right on with his estimate.

Mr. R says on 26/Jun/05
Hey MHouillon, you aer right. I meant to say DARK BLUE as the Kurt Russell/Ving Rhames movie I worked on. When we shot the film in Summer 2001, it was called PLAGUE SEASON, based on James Ellroy's novel.

MHouillon says on 25/Jun/05
Hi, Mr. R. You worked with Ving and Kurt on DEEP Blue ?

I know there´s a movie with Kurt & Ving that´s titeled DARK Blue. Very mysterious...

Scully ? Yes, Mulder...?

I saw him in "Bringing out the dead" and realised he might be very slightly under the 5'11" mark. 5'10.5" is possible...

Mr. R says on 17/Jun/05
Again, I worked with Ving on a film and stood next to him. I am 5'11.5", and he was about an inch shorter. Ving is 5'10.5"

CasperUK says on 16/Jun/05
He looks massive, i thought he was around 6'4 when i first saw him but i was misled by his bulk. I was suprised to see that he is less than 6 foot, he was barely taller than Clooney in that film they did with J-Lo in it. I suppose having big bulk makes you look massive.

Mr. R says on 19/Apr/05
While shooting Deep Blue with Ving and Kurt Russell, the director Ron Shelton called for a break. I left the stage and began to file out with the others. Somehow, I ended up walking directly behind Ving as we left the room. I was at least an inch taller than him. I peg him at 5'10.5".

J. says on 18/Apr/05

Excerpted from the article:
"From watching him on screen, people tend to think of Rhames as a behemoth actor like Michael Clarke Duncan of The Green Mile. Rhames says they’re surprised when they meet him and discover he’s only 6 feet tall, half a foot shorter than Duncan."

Mr R says on 14/Feb/05
He is closer to 5'11" at best.
