Dunno he often barely looks over 6 ft and can look full 6 2 other times.
Odd he and his brothers all like to slouch making height tough to guess.
He looked too short in Celt Pride barely taller than an overwieght aging akroyd.
Id say he was likely peak 6 1 he did seem to age well but my dad has a few years on him and has lost less than half an inch working steel his whole life

@®: Damon Wayans Jr. has looked between 6'0.5 and 6'1 to me compared to the cast of 'New Girl' even considering they are all around 5'9 range and not 5'10 as all of them are listed elsewhere (Jake Johnson, Lamorne Morris and Max Greenfield). Compared to his father he can look that as well, and with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg in 'The Other Guys'.
@Editor Rob: What's your opinion on him?

This is wrong. I've stood near both Damon and Shawn and I'm 6'2. Shawn is 6'1, but Damon was taller than me, he is 6'3.

Wayans is around 6'.05'' on second glance, seeing that the top of his head reaches just above MJ's eye level.

3:19 in this video provides a perfect height comparison shot with both Damon Wayans and Michael Jordan holding similar posture.
Wayans is just about exactly at Jordan's eye level, which would make him 4.5 inches shorter than Michael's measured 6'4.75''. So I'd give Damon Wayans 6'0.25''.

I would have to say about 6'2" because he was like 3 or 4" shorter than Michael Jordan in that Jordan Flight School TV Episode in "My Wife and Kids".

I think in that episode of my wife and kids where Terry Crews had him beat at 6'3. Damon must be about 6'2 or 6'1 3/4.

Jim almost never stands straight, that's part of his image. I met Damon and the
6'1.5" estimate there would be accurate. And the picture shows it. They're both
leaning a bit, and there's no way he's more than 5 1/2 inches taller than Glenn.

Actually Damon was 2 inches taller than Willis in that movie. He's 6ft2 depending on whether Willis was 6ft at that time.

I just re-watched the last boyscout and hi is barely taller than Willis so i think 185-186 (6.1) is accurate.

Given the picture, it illustrates what I already knew. Damon is about 6'1".
I met him in person. I'm an actual 6'4.5" (contrary to those who exaggerate
their height) and a good juge of heights. So I'd say this is very accurate.

Marlon has a bad slouch in the photo posted below. Damon can still pass for 6'2" though if straightned up next to Keenan, based on the same photo.

In the movie "Celtic Pride (1996)" in which he is a pro basketball player, when he steps onto the court they announce his height as six-foot-three.

Editor Rob they spend half their lives in front of the camera, always annoys me slightly when you read about the lengths some 'stars' go to to avoid giving a little back to joe public. At least he stopped and posed, if he wants to look like a zombie good on him :)
