If he appeared 6'3" he must have been wearing shoes that boosted him. I'll accept 6'1", but not 6'3" barefoot. That's jut plain silly.

I met Bill last night at the Packers/Vikings game, I am 6' and he is a good 2-3 inches taller than me, which really surprised me, I have a pic also to prove this

He's definetly 6'1 today. He was probably 6'1 1/2 or 187cm. He's probably lost some in. so 6'1 seems fair.

I've always reckoned Murray a genuine tall man. Certainly not as low as 6' 0" and not as high as 6' 3".

Bill Murray is one of those strange folks who can look different heights at different times. He was definitely taller than me, and I would say between 6-0 and 6-1.

I'm 6'1" and when I attended the opening of Osmosis Jones and was surprised at how short he was, since I thought he was close to my height. But his eye level was about at my mouth. Maybe he has shrunk or wasn't wearing lifts.

About 30 years ago I shared an elevator with Bill Murray in the Warner Communications Building at Rockefeller Center in NY City. I stood two feet from him and was amazed how tall he was. I'm 5'11" and he was at least three inches taller than I am. I would guestimate his height at 6'2".

Has to be 6'1", not 6'3". He was slightly shorter than the 6'2" Dan Ackroyd
in Ghost Busters in every scene. And yes, he's shorter than Letterman in the
You Tube video. That would put him squarely at 6'1" as the estimate is above.

I've noticed a weird thing with the heights of the ghostbausters actoers.
In certain scenes, one will look taller than the other, this happens mainly between Ramis and Akroyd.
But as someone said, Murray appears to be over 6'' because he maintains his posture.

I watched "Tootise" last week, and Bill plays Dustin Hoffman's roommate.I compared them in their scenes very intently. Bill did not look more than 6'1 compared to 5'5.5 Hoffman. Hoffman came up to slightly above his lip, which is about an 8 to 9 inches difference, which puts Bill around 6'-6'1. I really think 6'1 even is the perfect estimate for him. Lowest is 6'0.75.

Murray is tricky to guess correctly, as evidenced by the absurdly high in-person estimates of 6'5" (could he have been wearing enormous lifts in those instances?). If I had to pin him down within the half inch, I'd go with 6'1.5".
It it should be pointed out, though, since it is not obvious to everyone, that a person who is 5'3" will give a much less accurate estimate of someone who is
6'1" than someone else at 5'11" or 6'3" whose gives an estimate for the same person.

I thought Ramis looked taller than both Murray and Aykroyd throughout the entirety of "Ghostbusters". I think Ramis might be one of the few stars in need of an upgrade. He's 6'2 flat minimum, possibly 189 cm.

He's always looked about 6'1" to me too, except for Stripes. I could have sworn that in some scenes of that movie he was even or perhaps slightly taller than Harold Ramis, in addition to only being a maximum of 2 inches shorter than John Larroquette. Going by Stripes alone I would probably have guessed at least 6'2" for Murray, but he looks 6'-6'1" in most of his other stuff. Strange.

Shame I can't find a decent pic with him and 6'4 Goldblum in "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou" (the only one I found was posted already and wasn't too great in that they weren't on equal plains), because that could probably give us a great indication of what Murray's true height really is.

Mcfan, I agree that Ramis seemed taller in Ghostbusters. However, in Stripes the height difference between Murray and Ramis was very small and at times Murray actually appeared taller. I think that this was due to the fact that Murray may have actually been pretty close to 6'2" at his prime.

I agree with Anonymous; if you watch Stripes, Bill Murray looked taller or at least the same height as Harold Ramis in many scenes. He was also noticeably taller than both John Candy and Judge Reinhold. In addition, there was one scene where he squared up with 6'5" John Larroquette and Murray looked at a maximum about 2" shorter. I agree though, in most of his later work he looked around the 6'1" mark or slightly taller.

You're not going to believe this, but Bill Murray is about 6'5". He lives near me and one day he brought his entire family and their friends to the local movie theater. He was getting popcorn and I had to keep doing a double take. He doesn't appear that tall in the movies. Now, I do notice he usually towers over other actors when you see him at the award ceremonies and things like that. Who knew?!

Bill Murray is 6'4"-5". My girlfriend met him one day and she is 6'3" and she said he was an inch or more taller than her!

Saw Ghostbusters last Friday, there are a few scenes where Bill looks a couple of inches taller, than Aykroyd, and other times where they are virtually the same. He is hard to pin down, but 6'1" maybe 6'2" seems reasonable.

Just see Groundhog Day?Bill is tall that is corect,but he is not 6'2''(188cm).Stephen Tobolowsky is 188cm,ann he is clearly taller than Murray.
Don´t you think?

I just finished watching "The Life Aquatic" with Bill Murray. I watched him closely in several shots standing next to the 6'4" Jeff Goldblum and the 5'10" Owen Wilson. Guess what? He was as much taller than Wilson as Goldblum was taller than him! Hmmm...looks like right about 6'1"!

While I do think Bill is at least 6'1", take a gander at the thickness of the soles of his shoes here:

I've never seen soles that thick on that type of shoe! How often does he wear "enhanced-sole" shoes???

Bill Murray's tricky. I certainly remember him being about the same height (certainly no taller than) Dan Aykroyd in Ghostbusters, but Murray's looked tall recently. In The Life Aquatic he looks solidly taller than everyone except Jeff Goldblum and he doesn't even look THAT much shorter than Goldblum. It probably has a lot to do with great posture. I had a teacher in college who apparently encountered Bill Murray in Aspen and said he was "like 6'4"". Probably 6'1"+ in reality.

I agree that Bill Murray looks tall, but I also think Matt Dillon is not 6'0". He seems around 5'10.5" or 5'11".

In "wild thing" Bill Murray looks 2.5 inches taller than Matt Dillon. That makes him at least a 6'2'' tall man.

In "Stripes" Bill Murray looks about as tall as Harold Ramis. I think back then he was definetely a little over 6'1".

Saw "Ghostbusters" on cable. He and Dan Aykroyd were almost exactly the same height. I originally said they were extremely close by memory and that Murray was taller. Now I would say they were the same height at 6'1.

Bill Murray was at least 3 inches shorter than Chevy Chase in "Caddyshack." He has great posture. He's only like Dan Aykroyd's height...maybe a hair taller. Aykroyd would look much shorter than he was because he always would slouch, but I could see these two were very close in height on SNL. 6'1 is more like it, not no 6'3-4. He's not even close to that.

I was recently at an O's game, 2nd row.. and Roberts is not 5'9. He MIGHT be 5'8 though, maybe

Okay Viper, last night during the Red Sox - Orioles game, commentator Rick Sutcliffe, who is 6-5, remarked that he had been talking to Brian Roberts before the game, and that he was listed at 5-9, but in reality he was closer to 5-7 or 5-8.

I have seen many pictures of Bill Murray and I'm convinced that this man is not taller then 184-185cm. I would also like to ask why you use this old feet and inches system. To me and other continental europeans it seems like the stone age. I have been in USA and Great Britain many times and almost all people has guessed my height as 6'2". I'm just over 186 cm. What is 6'1"? Is it 184 cm, 185 cm or is it 186 cm. My experience is that americans estimate my height as 6'2" because I'm about one inch taller than the 6'1" guy who is actually 184 cm. Would appreciate comments.

Viper, I have yet to meet a baseball player whose listed height is right. Just a partial list includes: Jose Canseco, Vinny Castilla, Mike Bordick, Barry Bonds, Mike Gallego, George Brett, and others.

Which baseball players are you referring to Mr R?? They are pretty much accurate, save for Barry Bonds or Jose Canseco. Sometimes when they go to a different team they might shrink down an inch, which makes no sense.

Servel, I am saying that SOME of the heights in the mlb official sites are "enhanced". Most athletes want to appear taller than they are, just like most of us. I have seen Michael Barrett's height reported three different ways, so it is hard to estimate Bill Murray from him. I am one of those baseball freaks, so I can recite statistics very easily, and most of the baseball players that I have met have been listed incorrectly and rounded up.

Servel, the other problem that you have is you don't know for sure if the height attributed to Barrett is correct. As a baseball fan, I know for a fact that his height has been listed at 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3, depending on the team he is playing for. I met Bill a few years ago, and this height is basically correct!

I also thought that in Ghostbusters Bill Murray looked maybe 6'2" next to Sigourney Weaver at 5'11" but in Quick Change he looked about 6'1" next to Geena Davis at 6'0". So I'll say he's 6'1.5" then. ;)

Yup, great pic Hani! I think 185 cm is his height, why can't he just step up and say it?

As I mentioned before, standing next to him at a premiere, I was surprised that he was taller than me. He was at best 6'1", maybe a little bit less. There is no way that he is 6'2"! One way to be clear, is that Murray was on one of David Letterman's anniversary shows, maybe his 10th. On a level stage, 6'2" Letterman was clearly taller than Murray, and Murray makes a comment about it. Murray was more than inch shorter than Letterman. Using my personal experience, the Letterman show, and common sense, I stand by my view that Murray is 6'.5", and not quite 6'1".

Nobody can seem to pinpoint exactly how tall this guy is!!! It would definately help if Murray himself said exactly how tall he was because he definately knows better than anyone. Sometimes he looks on the 6 foot mark, and other times he just towers over people like a 6 foot even guy wouldn't. It's definately very hard to tell exactly whether he's six feet, six one, or six two. I definately think he's 6'2" max though, he can't be 6'3".

Yeah, Bill's 6'2", check out this quote from Lucy Lui:
The rumors started going crazy that I swung at him. This guy is like 6-foot-2. I wasn´t going to pull out kung fu on him," Liu says in the Oct. 28 issue of TV Guide.
