Ben Barrington's Height
6ft 4 (193 cm)
New Zealand actor, best known for playing Drew McCaskill in TV series Shortland Street and Olaf Johnson in The Almighty Johnsons. He once said of his commanding presence: "In real life @emmettskilton & l are a statuesque 6'4'', right in between will ferrell & stephen merchant"
I was bald by the time I finished drama school at age 24 and at first was uncastable because I was 6ft 4in with a bald head and a baby face. As you get older you grow into it. Height-wise, I shot up when I was about 16 which was awful. Just when you don't want to stand out I was covered in acne and a head taller than all my mates.

@Dream Ben could pull off 6'4 1/2 with 6'3.25" Emmett Skilton. I wouldn't give him below 6'4.25". Rob had under list him.

Surprise he didn't get any upgrade. Ben given a more stronger 6'4 impression than Jared Padalecki.

@Canson I totally understand your point of view.
It would be interesting to see Ben Barrington and Jack Swagger together. I think both of them will beat out guys like Jason Douglas.

Hmmm. I’m stumped. Part of me wants to say 6’4” but may be a tweener. A disjointed 6’4 (morning 6’4).

I agreed with Junior. I wouldn't be surprised if he was very similar to peak Jeff Goldblum or Alexander Skarsgard

Look to be slightly edge out most of 6'4 NZ actors. Possibly 6'4 1/4 and ignore 1/4 inch claim. Look as tall as peak Goldblum and Hasselhoff.

@Christian he did say that, but check Junior’s links.
Ben definitely looks taller than Emmett.

@Dream
I don't know about that. He said that Emmett Skilton (who's 6'3.25", not 6'4") and him are the same height.

I might get a lot of hate, but he could 'potentially' edge out Jared Padalecki and be closer to 6'4 3/8."

He's got to be over this Mark. Not nearly 6'5", but likely in a similar range to Peak Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard.
He looks a big inch taller than Emmett Skilton who isn't under 6'3.25" with Rob!

My bad then rob, what makes you think Ben is 1/4 taller? And do you think he has a 10 inch head or less?
Editor Rob

Editor RobWell, there is always a chance of a guy being say 193.5cm and just says 193...I am not sure he has a full 10 inch head, maybe in 9.5-9.75 range.

Editor Rob

Editor RobI'm not sure, he's one of the tens of thousands of possible names I sometimes will add...I can tell you though, he's down on his agency page as 183cm.

Rob, would you say 6'4" 1/4ths is arguable for Ben Barrington?

He also starred in Narnia.
No photos of them, but Ben could be similar to Peak Liam Neeson.

Editor RobUnfortunately don't know much about him. There will always be some people who end up underbilled at an agency. It's of course a rarer occurrence than being over-billed though!

Rob, do you think Ben could be similar to Ryan McPartlin at 6'4.5"? He really don't look that low at 6'4 next to Emmett.

A 6ft4 guy with impeccable posture. I could see a fraction over this actually. He looks 1in taller than Emmett...
