Numbers tend to regress towards the mean. If they have a taller father, they may be shorter and vice versa.
G-MANN said on 2/Jun/08
It's funny that he's so much shorter usually than his father, usually men grow to be at least as tall as their father, often taller.
Daniel said on 25/Apr/08
Maybe in his childhood Kiefer didn't get a nutrition as good as his father did, Hahaha. Anyway, 5'8'' -that is his correct height-, although a little short, isn't that bad, at least by Hollywood standards
Paul said on 24/Apr/08
how is this guy soo short? I mean his father is 6'4. jeezz very unlucky i guess

Looks around 5ft10-5ft11 in Phone Booth.
Adam Brennon said on 4/Feb/08
Does anyone else think Kiefer looks a great deal more lean and ripped in season 6 in contrast to carrying a little weight in season 5.
Stiffelio said on 1/Feb/08
dmeyer, I think Kiefer is rightly described as 174. In 24 he looked exactly the same height as Carlos Bernard, who looks that height next to Rob.
dmeyer said on 31/Jan/08
rob is 173 flat possible for kiefer
shamz said on 24/Jan/08
watch the film "A Few Good Men" Kiefer has a lot of sence standing next to tom cruise. He appears to only be an inch maybe two taller than tom. Tom may be wearing lifts in the film but Kiefer is dressed in military gear and is wearing boots.
dmeyer said on 17/Jan/08
rob did you meet siddig he looks tallish in 24 but he is slim ,he is a bit taller than morrison

Editor Rob
nah, not met him, last time siddig cancelled.
DD said on 17/Jan/08
Walked by Kiefer down the street in 2005. He's around 5 foot 7.5 or 5 foot 8. Looked eye to eye while I was in sandals.

On season 6 of 24 he looked the same height as ricky shroeder who is supposed to be a full 5ft 10 who plays mike doyle. Kiefers true height though ive heard is 5ft 8.5 inches.

Schroeder is a weak 5'10 and Sutherland almost always looked over an inch shorter, sometimes close to two. Rob may have Sutherland exactly right, although Kiefer is one of the few celebrities I would be open to a downgrade on.

he's shorter than itzin, who is shorter than bill buchanan (james morrison) who himself is shorter than alexander siddig who is 5ft 11.75...
Mr.Boston2 said on 26/Dec/07
Watching the show, I thought be was a bit under 6', he doesnt look extremely short compared to President Palmer who is a legit 6'5. .
Nicky said on 25/Dec/07
On 24 season 6 he looked the same height as Rob looks beside the President. I think he's 5' 8".
dmeyer said on 17/Dec/07
i agree donald is about 6'3 now
glenn said on 17/Dec/07
his dad is a legit 6-3.ok.
ken said on 17/Dec/07
his 174 correct and so his so called 6ft3 dad is only 5ft11.5 in real factor..

Editor Rob
can you please just use one name, if you wonder why I delete posts its because you have habit of changing it. One name = Rob happy!
dmeyer said on 9/Dec/07
he can look 5'8 to 5'8.5 alot but whi would they say 5'10 the he might be 5'8.75 to 5'9
Caesar said on 8/Dec/07
Francois says on 7/Dec/07
The guy is maybe 175 cm... Because you have to consider his weight, too. It was given by the Prison officials at 150 pounds, 68 kilos. That's very light. He has a medium build, so he cannot be above 175, considering his weight.

Damit, he is a shrimp !

So I guess about 45% of all men are "shrimps"? Or are you referring to his weight? I am a legitimate 5'10 (barefoot, unlike the Kief) and weigh 155 lbs and I actually look a little stocky. At 5'8.5-5'8.75 (5'10 rounded up in shoes), Sutherland is a good, solid weight, according to the BMI.
Socom said on 8/Dec/07
5'8.75 I think

5'10 " with shoes on. Thats correct.

Well, Kiefer was arrested again (DUI), and according to JustJared the police record lists him at 5'10".

keith is right.. his dad looks 6ft compare to 5ft8.5in son..
keith said on 23/Nov/07
kiefer is 174 that makes his dad donald 182.. his dad always stand out to looks 3in taller than kiefer..
Bob said on 5/Nov/07
Here's a photo of Kiefer and Michael Douglas...Michael Douglas is slightly taller than Kiefer and this was when they both were much younger. You may want to test this link before posting, I'm not sure this site lets you hot link. Click Here
clint said on 3/Nov/07
He was the same height as michael douglas in the sentiel. So my guees is they are both touch over 5ft 9. Douglas could have been a full 5ft 10 when he was younger though.

Editor Rob
he did look a little shorter than douglas
al said on 30/Oct/07
This guy ever looks small or tall. On 24 he can look a strong 5ft 10 or a weak 5ft 8. He is one of my favourites but i think his true height is just over 5ft 8 which he once said he was 174cms which is smack in between 5feet 8 and 9.
Daniel said on 7/Oct/07
I'd say 5'8'' tops seems the most accurate estimate for him

exactly lmeister.they usually just ask.
Lmeister said on 30/Sep/07
Sorry I forgot to mention that those are the most common ways how they take your measurements.
Lmeister said on 30/Sep/07
the measurements from police reports are either taken from your drivers license, asked or just estamations. the heights in Mugshots aren't accurate since you are wearing your shoes.
glenn said on 30/Sep/07
thats not always the case joe.
Stiffelio said on 29/Sep/07
I seriously doubt the police report. To begin with they don't weigh you when they book you. And Sutherland seems too stocky to just weigh 150lbs.
joe said on 29/Sep/07
Yes bob, the cops get you to take your shoes off when measuring.
bob said on 27/Sep/07
No, it would make him around 5'8", unless of course he was wearing flip flops, which I highly doubt since he was leaving a Fox party when he was stopped and he was photographed in shoes that have higher heel that 1/2".
John said on 26/Sep/07
I definitely think this site is underestimating his height. Even if he was wearing shoes when measured, that would make him about 5ft 9 and a half or so.
bob said on 25/Sep/07
Since he was arrested this morning the sheriffs/police dept released a statement that he was 5' 10" and weighed 150 lbs. Do they make them take their shoes off when checking their height?
dmeyer said on 20/Sep/07
hey rob kiefer grows again
dmeyer said on 20/Sep/07
if she had heels and and she is truly 5'7 then he had elevator on because he loks 1.5 in taller so 5'10 since my girlfriend look near 5'10 in heels and she is 5'7.5
dmeyer said on 20/Sep/07
he isnt less than 5'8 can look 5'8.75 in to 5'9.5 in lifts
Mr. R said on 20/Sep/07
Jonathan, this supports what I said a few years ago. Keifer is 5-8 on a very good day!
Jonathan said on 18/Sep/07
Kiefer and the cast of 24 reside near me because of filming of the CTU building, so when I see Kiefer once in a while he is around 2 inches shorter than me and I am 5'10
Tony said on 17/Sep/07
He looked about an inch taller than 5ft 7/8" Ali Larter(in heels) at the Emmys last night: Click Here

He's 5ft 9" and a half at least.
Adam Brennon said on 17/Sep/07
I feel sorry for him, being so much shorter than his father.
marlon said on 7/Sep/07
He says above he was about 5ft 9 or a bit under so 5ft 8.5 could be about right.
Frank said on 1/Sep/07
I met Kiefer today and he looked about 5ft 8
dmeyer said on 31/Aug/07
hey rob do you know how tall is james badge dalle he is listed at 6 ft by that mark keifer can look a full 5'10 in lifts of course

Editor Rob
he's on the site under d I think.
Adam Brennon said on 26/Aug/07
He's a big dude in weight terms. He looks strong and heavy set in 24.
dmeyer said on 22/Aug/07
wath funny is that kiefer can look only 3 to 4 in under his father in 90s pics that means 6 ft
dmeyer said on 25/Jul/07
this guy can look as short as 173 cm and as tall as 177 cm in the first season he seemed 5'9ish and now seems 5'8 flat
Bob said on 15/Jul/07
this is a quote from someone who ran into him last night at a bar in NY - "He is very short and very dreamy. He likes to play pool and bonded with Justin over their love of Meatloaf."
Click Here
antron said on 15/Jul/07
That article that Bob cites in May is rounding off to the nearest ten. It lists Donald at 190cm even, and brothers at 180 even. So we can assume that, based on the convention of the article, that Keifer is within 2-5 cm of 170cm, but not under.
Elisabeth said on 11/Jul/07
No freaking way he's 5'8"! I ran into him in the northridge mall one day with my husband and my son right after he was born. Keifer stopped to say congratulations on the newborn, and he was definately shorter than I am (5'9") He was right about even with my husband (5'6.5")
HellBoundPower said on 2/Jul/07
In the first season of 24, they said Jack Bauer was 5'11". I know Kiefer isn't THAT tall, but I still suspect 5'9.5"-5'10" for him. He isn't towered over most of the time, he seems average height to me.

Editor Rob
the whole being up 24 hours and losing more height don't count for this guy ;) I tested that..almost, I made it to 20...

Cross towered over him, he isn't 1 inch shorter than james morrison, 2 inches taller than edgar stiles etc. Sh*t, he's smaller than president logan!
T said on 1/Jul/07
How can you recognize who's genetics you have, my mom is 5ft8 my dad is 5ft9, I have two older brothers, one's 23 and 5ft10, and the other 20 and 6ft im 17 and 5ft9,25-9,5. the 20 year old one is medium build and my oldest brother is quite slim, im medium build aswell maybe slightly inbetween, i wonder if i will go after my oldest,middel or inbetween my brothers,or if im allready at my final height:P, they both do have to shave a lot, i only have a moustache after about a week or so and some hairs on my chin and several soft at my sideburns but nothing really heavy.
Mr. R said on 18/Jun/07
I said it before, and I 'ii sat it again: Keifer is 5-8 on a good day. Part ofd the reason that he seems taller is due to the fact that he has ine of the world's largest heads! If you look at his head while he is sitting down, he looks like he is a six-footer. But when he stands up, he looks like a munchkin with a bigassed Head!
kiefer said on 17/Jun/07
He said his true height is 174cms so really he is just touching 5ft 9 inches.
Bombay Rocker said on 13/Jun/07
I think he is 5 feet 8, he looks short, short legs, short arms.
Bob said on 29/May/07
Why would you insinuate that because it appears that he is shorter than what most people think, he would also be less of a man? I don't think anyone here has ever stated that. Many wonderful, bright, smart men and women have been short. I truly do not believe that Randy Newman literally meant that short people got no reason to live. This blog is not about love or flights of fancy... it's about how tall someone is.
Kiefer'sGirl said on 29/May/07
I happen to like shorter men..me being only 5'1, maybe I could actually look Kiefer in the eye! Of course, not for long because I would pass out and fall to the floor as soon as he came within 5 feet of me. Oh well...I don't care how tall he is, I love him anyway!
dmeyer said on 25/May/07
near 180 cm morrison he looks a solid 3 in shorter so max 5'8.25 proper 173 5'8.5 might be too high so either he lost 0.25 in 0.5 cm no more at 40 or maybe morrison is 5'11.5 to 5'11.75 then keifer is 174 175 cm
Dee said on 25/May/07
Does anyone know how tall Debbie Travis is.. I was just curious?
Bob said on 18/May/07
This article lists his height as 1.7 m or 5 ft 6 maybe 5'7"

Turn off your caps lock.
BRONSON said on 16/May/07
KIEFER LOOKED ABOUT 2 INCHES SHORTER THAN 5FT 10 WILLIAM DEVANE AT THE END OF THE LAST EPISODE. SO 5FT 8 IS POSSIBLE.
dmeyer said on 16/May/07
after looking at getty images he is noticably taller than julia roberts but he is very mush shorter than withaker so 174 cm no less 175 on a good day he could be the 5'8.75 you had him at
Cpt. Crunch said on 14/May/07
heightologist Caesar sais 5'9" means you look short sometimes and tall other times. I think they call it lifts.
Cæsar said on 30/Apr/07
Kiefer looks about an inch to an inch and a half shorter than 5'9-5'9.5 Ricky Schroder on 24. Kiefer never looks tall in any context suggesting to me he must be below 5'9. 5'9ers like Rob Morrow can look tall at times and short at others. Sutherland is probably 5'8.
JOSH said on 23/Apr/07
kiefer stated his exact height as 5ft 8 and a half i heard somewhere when he was with julia roberts and he doesnt look over or under that height but with his 3inch cowboy style boots on he is then over that height and that is how he can look quite tall sometimes on 24.
anonymous said on 16/Apr/07
Looked at this picture from Forest Whitaker's Walk of Fame Induction today. Standing next to Whitaker (6'2 or 6'2 1/2" here and in pretty much every other reference) and Angela Bassett (a self-reported 5'4" who's wearing at least 3" or 4" heels). I'd say right at 5'10" or a hair under.

Anonymous said on 13/Apr/07
It's obvious....Kiefer didn't grow to his potential. His brother Roffis did. I guarantee everyone here that Kiefer has a long wingspan. Probably 5-6 inches taller than his frame. Listen if you have long arms and are shorter by more than 3 inches then you never grew to your potential height, cause you've must have done something wrong in your young teen years.
AA said on 10/Apr/07
James Morrison is 5'11" for sure. No taller or shorter than this. Kiefer looks about 2 inches shorter. I believe Kiefer is 5'9" exactly.

Fyi, I am 5'9 and we were both standing on the same level sidewalk. He's at least inch shorter then me.

Walked by him yesterday in the West Village, he MIGHT be 5'8. He's certainly not taller then 5'8.
susannah said on 10/Mar/07
in Flatliners i seem to remember that julia roberts was decidely taller than kiefer although the exact height difference i cannot recall
HellBoundPower said on 7/Mar/07
I'd say Kiefer is more like 5'9.5"-5'10". He's at least 5'9" for sure.
dmeyer said on 6/Mar/07
i agree bill keifer looks as tall as itzin in this new episode the feet werent seen when itzin apeared taller and keifers shoes in that episide are 1.25 in heels with no lifts you can see it when his pants get lifted to go over a wall so 174 for keifer no less 5'8.5 is bang on or him since he can look 5'8 and can look 5'9
dmeyer said on 6/Mar/07
i agree rob in the first season he looked taller he looked 1.25 taller than 174 bernard and not that mush shorter than 5'11.5 xander in the first season apeared 5'9 storng now he struggles with 5'8
Piper said on 6/Mar/07
I think something should be added to the script that his compact size is what enables him to accomplish feats that a taller man could not...he can stay low to the ground, make quick turns do to his low center of gravity, etc...Keifer is probably 5'8" at the most, although he looks more like 5'6" - 5'7"...
Bob said on 5/Mar/07
I know you didn't want to publish it Rob, but hey...I was right...this really is about the incredible shrinking man..I just think it's progress that dmeyer has given up on Kiefer being 6' tall.
nick said on 5/Mar/07
yeah i know what you mean im 16 and 6-1(not incredibly tall), but my dad was 5-4 and mom 5-5 and the doctor told me i got a couple inches left so genetics can be a thing of luck
dmeyer said on 5/Mar/07
rob in the last episisode he looks a shoking 1.5 to 2 inches shorter than itzin

Editor Rob
he shrinks every year...by season 7 he'll be looking 5ft 7 and when the 24 movie comes out, god knows!
schnitzelferk said on 4/Mar/07
haha smoking stunting height.
One of my friends is 6'6"...or so he says...Im 6ft and id personally say hes more like 6'7", and weighs 315lbs, HUGE guy, anyway, his mum barely reaches 5'2" and his dad consistently states he is 5'9" but he is at most 5'8", and there son ends up 6'6"+ and he smokes and has been since aged 7!!!!
It gets better, the docs said hed grow to be 5'10" max, it gets even better
hes 16 and hasnt stopped growing yet!

Another guy i know (a legit 6'4") also has smoked since aged 13.

sometimes a son ends up short

My grandad was 6'4" and grandmother 5'11" (which for 1920-1930's was freak heights for men and women)

they had there first son and he got to 6'7", there second child was a girl, she is now 6ft, there 2nd son (my dad) reached 6'2", and there 3rd son reached 5'8"

Sometimes you get a runt, and sometimes you get a mutant (when short parents get a tall kid)

Kiefer is a tiny man
al said on 3/Mar/07
kiefer once said he stands exactly 174cms so that just under 5ft 9 inches tall.

Editor Rob
you've twice tried to say this...kiefer said 174cm where??? North american actors giving height in cm is as rare as a good uwe bohl movie. The quote above 'about 5ft 9' is what he has said.
Joe said on 25/Feb/07
I thought he looked about 5"10 at first... but now i'm certain he's more like 5"7. Have you seen the pic with him standing next to 175 jolie richardson??? He looked like 3 inches shorter!
Dakota_Pony said on 22/Feb/07
Actually Bruce, as Sarah already said, James Cromwell who plays his dad this season is 6'7". Even if he's shrunk a little with age, he is still very tall. Pretty much anyone would look short next to him. I agree, this season could be better. It started off great in my book but nose dived with one of last year's villians being his brother this year. I'll keep watching and hoping they will get it back on track.

Sarah, I agree that the smoking probably was a factor, as well as being a twin... and as I said before in a post, I would bet some of his riding and rodeo days resulted in injuries that impact his spine and/or posture. I've been in horses most of my life and know way too many people with permanent injuries and rebuilt this or that. I think in most aspects, he's made a hard life for himself lifestyle-wise and it shows. He looks a lot older than his 40 years.
Bruce said on 20/Feb/07
Sutherland looks like he is about 5'6" tops! I find it hilarious that 99% of the time, both men and women playing opposite of him are his height or shorter. I understand the reason for this, since Sutherland is the lead protagonist. But come on, his withered old dad this year looks like Vanilla Ice - Wilt Chamberlain compared to shorty Kiefer. I think this season of 24 is just horrible as was most of last season. The show has really jumped the shark. I loved the first four seasons (or at least most of those seasons). Now I watch the show only because I've become a mindless lemming that can't stop.
Sarah said on 20/Feb/07
Well, Kiefer is quite the smoker. I'm not sure when he started, although I believe it was at a rather young age. Perhaps, this has played a role. I mean his father and brothers tower over him. I find it hilarious that they have James Cromwell (6'7") cast as his father this season. The difference in height is highly noticable.
Vibram said on 17/Feb/07
Sarah, yes it can if your chain smoking before the age of 20.
Sarah said on 15/Feb/07
Is it true that chain smoking can effect one's ability to reach their full potential in height?
tall guy said on 14/Feb/07
what is also strange is both him and his brother on 24 are 7 to 9 inches shorter then their dad, which is almost how keifer is in real life
dmeyer said on 11/Feb/07
thanks rob for the answer but but i mean not shrinkin when you get to 50 or 60
Glenn said on 9/Feb/07
Some old men dont shrink too.my father was close to his 5-8 before he passed.
dmeyer said on 9/Feb/07
is it possible not to shrink

Editor Rob
for you not to shrink during the day your spinal discs must have the ability to prevent any seepage of water during the day. They must be able to overcome the gravitational pull...they must be perfectly hydrated at all times.

also worth noting, in your 20's the discs in your spine are like 80+% water, but as you age their water bearing capacity reduces, 10-15% by pensioner age, plus the ends of the vertebrae - or plates - will thin out. This is natural age related height loss.
Rocky said on 8/Feb/07
speaking of sons being taller than their fathers - in the 1850s, the average height of a Dutchman was only 5'4'', far shorter than the average of any Asian country today.
MHouillon said on 5/Feb/07
I obviously had luck. My grandfather is (5'3.5") 162cm (he's 91 now), but WAS 5'5.5 (167cm), my father was 5'7.5" (171cm) and I am 178cm (5'10). My wife is 5'11.25 (181cm), so I hope, my shrinking will not be more than 1 inch...
Antron said on 2/Feb/07
Viper, you are misunderstanding the potential calculator. The potential does not mean to indicate your maximum possible height. Rather, you are 95% likely to be within 5 inches of 5'10"; either taller or shorter. At 6'3" you are within 5 inches of 5'10," lucky you.
dmeyer said on 1/Feb/07
on 24 he can look 174 to 177 sometimes 5'8.25 to 5'9.75 i think 174 is the closest since even thaugh he can look 173 dosnt mean he is 173 could be posture or angles so 174 make sens
George H said on 1/Feb/07
True, about sons usually being taller than their fathers. My twin and myself are exception to that rule, or maybe not because we're twins. Does anybody know if it's the same for twins? We're about 2 inches shorter than our father, but we were born 3 weeks early and underweight at birth. Still, can't complain at 6'1" now.
Viper said on 1/Feb/07
I just tried that height potential calculator and it says my highest potential is only 5-10, while Im 6-3 and my brother is 6-2. Whats up with that?
Antron said on 1/Feb/07
Back to the genetic issue. Parker is right. My brother and I are of similar heights, but not the same height even though, because we have the same parents, we have the same genetic potential. I am 169/170cm, he is 173/174cm. Our genetic potential is 174cm based on that calculator.
Antron said on 1/Feb/07
Anyone notice they cast a considerably shorter man Paul McCrane (maybe 5'6"?) as his scheming brother for this season of 24? Makes Keifer appear mas macho!
MHouillon said on 27/Jan/07
He is the same height as 5'8.5 Carlos Bernard. Even if they gave both of them lifts, they would be the same height.
He is still a little taller than Tom Cruise in "A few good men" ! And 5'7-(170cm)-Cruise certainly wore lifts. Kiefer NEVER is a 5'10, but he is a 174cm minimum.
LucioTheBest said on 23/Jan/07
???? Am I the only person in the world who has seen "VANISHED" ? I'm sorry...but you people must be uninformed or insane. Hire the movie, please!! IF you care at all about celebheights (and want to see Jeff Bridges play an awesome part) hire the movie! Then, pause it at the following scenes:
1. The Scene in which he is juggling that ball full of beads. Its a full body view of him in 0.5 inch tennis shoes. He is the height of his shoulders and head above the parallel vehicle, and the height of his head above his SUV. SUVs stand approx 4'11" - 5'1.5" off the ground (I work in insurance ;).
2. The scene in which he is standing directly next to Sandra Bullock (5.7"), when he is imagining a flashback after revisiting the garage.
3. The Scene where he is standing next to 6' Jeff Bridges (no, he's not 6'1" either...he actually told my dad (orthopedic surgeon) he's exactly 181.6 cm at a conference in 1998).
4. The Scene where he leaves the motel with Nancy Travis (5'4")...this is the best one. He's wearing tennis shoes and she's wearing the same shoes she wears the whole movie, which as you can see from the scene where she runs up the stairs to the deranged black woman's flat, are as completely flat as flipflops. This is the best one cause they walk shoulder to shoulder, and relatively straight.

To be honest, I shall conclude by stating my firm belief that this actor is the Humphrey Bogart of his day - in other words, he's gone to great lengths to keep most people guessing he's an average 5'9", when the reality is far from that. Is Kiefer Sutherland 5'8.5 / 5.9" ??? Yes, he is - with lifts. Just like Bogart was 5.9" with lifts. His true height? Over my dead body he's taller than 5'7" (and that's being generous)....'cause let's face it, with DM army style boots like 24 you can never tell how tall someone is....what you need is a film in which they are not yet famous (and so have a less illustrious rep to uphold) and in which they are wearing tennis shoes. In other words, watch VANISHED - watch it, and tell me I'm wrong!

Exactly hb45.
dmeyer said on 16/Jan/07
rob you were right i alwais thaught he was 5'9+ but i think he is no more than 174 also i saw a pic were he has 1.7 boots in season 6 and steel looks tiny near 187 cross could even be 5'8.25 proper 173 and looks 175 because of the advantage in shoes

Editor Rob
when you see him with the president and agent pierce there is chance of 173 depending on his footwear
hb45 said on 16/Jan/07
Glenn- The fact that, nowadays, a son is often taller than is father is scientifically explained: better conditions of living for young people, better medical cares, no more undernourishment. That's particulary true in Europe where economic development since the 50's has much improved the standard of living. In France, for instance, young people are today around 178cm, compared to hardly 170cm just after world war II...
Jim said on 16/Jan/07
He bumped into me in Bobs Big Boy in Burbank... I would say 5'8.5" is being generous... jesus when I turned around I almost didn't see him... he's a tiny guy... but was very gracious and friendly after slamming into me...
Glenn said on 15/Jan/07
Excellant point hb,that I always mention.just not on these pages.
hb45 said on 15/Jan/07
A son is usually at least as tall as his father. In the case of Kiefer, he's much shorter (15cm) than his father Donald. Rather an exception...

Matthew said on 14/Jan/07
If "maybe 5'9" doesn't set off alarms, I don't know what does. From seeing 24 and this quote, I'd say 5'8" - 5'8.5." But 5'8.5" is tops.
G-unit said on 31/Dec/06
Have you guys watched the movie "To end all wars"? He comes out barefeet all the movie, during the time he is a slave. He isn't as tall as 5'10. to be honest he looks 5'8 barefeet, but he can possibly be 5'9
dmeyer said on 18/Dec/06
did have thik cowboy boots in season 3 but only 1.5 in in first season
dmeyer said on 14/Dec/06
he looked a lot taler in the first seasons like 1.5 taller than almeda he looked a shocking 5'10 lifts probably

Editor Rob
I remember there was a glimpse of kiefer's soles in one episode, the one where the hobbit 'bites the dust' I think, looked pretty thick.
dmeyer said on 6/Dec/06
did look 5'10 in the first season but more like 5'8.5 in the season 5 this guy might be 5'9 in the morning and 5'8.5 in the afternoon and night so so i agree with you rob 174 is closer to the marrk but wears lifts on occasion because sometimes look only 4 inches smaller than 187 curtis manning i mean cross
dmeyer said on 4/Dec/06
could be a full 5'9 at the shortest 5'8.5
Glenn said on 4/Dec/06
5-9 sounds honest and makes sense.
dmeyer said on 3/Dec/06
rob you are right he didnt look too tall in season 5 in season 1 and 2 he looked taller i think his boots wear standards i dont think he is shorter than 5'8.75 wish ids a strong 174 174 to 175 range fits him good 5'8.75 to 5'9 seems to be his height he can look nearer 5'10 in the first season 174 to 175 make sens for keifer could be 5'9 daugh since even if she wears only 1 in heels he does look 3 cm on her
Editor Rob said on 3/Dec/06
I found a 1990 quotation by old Kiefer...in an edition of Chronicle Telegram:
"I stand maybe 5 foot 9".

Hmm, 174cm can be it I think now.
dmeyer said on 30/Nov/06
he alwais looks taller than raver not by mush but he does look taller so 175 cm or 5'8.75 like he use to be might a true 5'9er in the morning like 176 and 174 night he might be close to your height nice to see that you are back rob

Editor Rob
cheers buddy, he is taller than Raver, who wears sometimes just 'sawn off' heels, like 1-inch, he looks a 3cm over her, but question is what height does his boots give him. If you look at Raver and Kiefer at the emmy's when Kiefer has normal shoes...
dmeyer said on 30/Nov/06
in the first episode of season 5 he strugggles to have 2 inches on rajskuk so close to 5'8.5 in the first season looks alot 1.25 taller than 174 almeda so close to 5'10 in lifts
Anonymous said on 30/Nov/06
Wow - Robert Duvall - nice surprise.
Stiffelio said on 30/Nov/06
Rob, I basically agree with all your 24 height estimates. Kiefer is exactly the same height as Carlos, i.e. 174 cm. If you go back to season 3 and 4 there are many shots of the two together to corroborate this. Good you are back!

Editor Rob
cheers, back for good! 174cm could be it. Actually, these days I watch a heap more tv shows than movies. Something like an episode of 24 to me is more enjoyable than 75% of the movies I watch.
Glenn said on 30/Nov/06
Almost got him 2 weeks ago.I even hear 5-8.

Editor Rob
there is an outside chance he has some help in an orthopaedic sense. Maybe he has extra thick cushioning in his shoes for 24 or all that running about has withered his posture a little.
dmeyer said on 29/Nov/06
can look 5'10 on 24 sometimes but closer to 5'9 barefeet

Editor Rob
can also look 5ft 8.5 in a lot of season 5, I still can't make up my mind on this guy. In one episode with Rog Cross he looked 5ft 8 at best...and with the president could look 174 then in episode 5 full-length with kim raver (who doesn't have heels for some scenes with him, just a 1-inch styled shoe) does look 5ft 9.

In good old metric, these are the 24 people I've met and as close as I can estimate them: Raver 172cm, Itzin 176cm, Carlos 174cm, Rajskub 169cm, Cross 187-188cm, Morshower 179-180cm

Dakota_Pony said on 11/Oct/06
Bob, you aren’t kidding. In my experience, the on-air talent I’ve worked with in the past is never what you expect in person vs what you see on TV. The women are almost always taller than one anticipates; the men shorter --- and pretty much everyone is much thinner.

The only trouble with people judging height in person is that they are likely judging against their own height. You’d be surprised the number of people who aren’t sure about their own height--- or they have it wrong. I have two coworkers on my immediate team (one male, one female—both mid 30s) who sincerely thought they were a certain height but found out at their annual physicals that they were indeed a full two inches off.
bob said on 10/Oct/06
Again....one needs to read what the people who have actually seen him say. Of course, what is short to one person may seem tall to another. Kiefer is one of those people that, for some reason, fans tend to believe what they want to believe vs. reality. Another comment:

Dakota_Pony said on 3/Oct/06
I would think it would be hard to determine height without a full-length photo. Too many factors… he is behind Chris Isaak, which will automatically make him look smaller and shorter (things closest to the camera appear larger) and it is possible that Chris is also on a step since it is in a doorway. It may have been Lynch’s goal to make Kiefer look smaller and meaker. It’s been almost 15 years since I saw the movie but memory and the Les Nesman-issue bow tie and specs make me believe his character was to be intellectual-dork. Having him look smaller would exacerbate that stereotype and perhaps be aimed at making Chris’s character look more socially smooth, tough, etc, for that quirky juxtaposition.

Footwear, distance from the camera, what if anything people are standing on makes a huge difference. A friend of a friend dated one of the Grey’s Anatomy actresses and was often photographed with her at events looking as tall or taller than her with heels on — which seemed impossible since he isn’t a tall man to begin with. Sure enough, on of the pics on Photorazzi showed a full length of them together and he was on his very tippy toes, leaning up and in, while she was bent down a bit, leaning down and in to bring her height down for the photo. Anyone seeing the cropped version would have thought he was as tall or taller than her when he was not. Photos in Hollywood rarely are what they are. Even in the real world, photos often don't give a realistic representation without care and thought.

This article might explain why Kiefer isn't that tall although his father is a giant...

"Oddly enough, we know that the heights of mother and son and of father and daughter correlate."

So it would seem men take their height from their mother, not father. We know Kiefers mother is a shorty, so I guess this would explain it.

Dakota_Pony said on 4/Sep/06
Felicity Huffman is 5'5" in their Emmy presentation pics and likely is wearing 3-4" heels, as is Pennelope Ann Miller in the photos Bob posted the link to. Depending on camera angle, it is a wash to see who is taller. Kiefer or either of these ladies. I'd still put him at 5'10" or a hair under. I'm 5'7" myself and usually wear 3" heels to the office which makes me taller than a lot of my male coworkers so don't underestimate the height of a lady in heels. I do think a lot of the ladies on the show are tall (ie Jean Smart is about 6') as are many of the ladies in Hollywood. One thing to keep in mind is that from his years in rodeo, it could very well be he ended up with disk problems that has changed his height somewhat. I've been riding horses most of my life and know numerous people with back problems from spills, along with hips, neck, and knees.

Other than curiosity, who cares how tall he is? He's a great actor and good looking guy.

People on TV are always thinner in person. In the past, part of my job has been to work with on-air meteorologists and they are always much thinner in person than they are on the news. I met one of the chief mets here in Minnesapolis has a rep for being chubby-- which is insane because in person, she is a twig. I'd hate to have to work on camera.
bob said on 27/Aug/06
1. What does "either his 5ft9" mean? 2. Did you read the thread on this site on Donald Sutherland before posting here? 3. Why isn't the information on Donald posted on Donald's thread instead of Kiefer's?

either his 5ft9.. but his dad donald sutherland was atually no more than 6ft tall.. in the 1978 clasic sci-fi horror movie invasion of the body snatcher as the lead actor also starring jeff goldblum a strong 6ft4.5(1.94m)actor was firmly stands 3inches(8cm) taller than kiefer dad most scene.. i did gave donald sutherland a 6ft1(1.86) at his youth..while his old and looks shrunk, therefore i gave him a 6ft0.5(1.84m)..

Ben is right, Kiefer is only about 5'8." I'm a huge fan of Kiefer and the show 24. I been a HUGE fan of Kiefer since I saw him in 1986 in Stand By Me, when I was only 12 years old. I been a huge fan of 24 since I was saw it in 2001. I'm happy to own most his DVD's including 24 seasons 1 to 4 on DVD. I'm more happy to say my stepsister, her fiance and I met Kiefer Sunday at Bull Moose in Scarborough, Maine. The staff took my camera. Because his agent didn't want anyone to take pictures. We had fun. He gave my stepsister and I a hug. I kissed him on the cheek. He gave me a huge smile and blushed. He signed my 24 DVD twice. Once on the outside cover and once on the inside cover. He is thinner in person than on tv, but he's HOT. He's so friendly, sweet and down to earth. This is an experience I will always remember and keep in my heart forever.

P.S. I know everyone who works at Bull Moose, including the owner. No, they couldn't take pictures. The staff were not his agents. They were people the store hired that was requested by the agents. It was his agents who requested no cameras, not Kiefer.

Hey Ben. I was in Maine as well. I agree with you about him being 5'7'' to 5'8''. And yes, his thinness does appear to make him look taller than that. Have any pics surfaced from Bull Moose? Folks in PA were snapping pics left and right.
Carol said on 19/Jul/06
We were at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas a couple of years ago. Kiefer walked right by us with a couple of bodyguards and gave us a very nice hello. Hubby is 6 feet and we couldn't get over how short Kiefer was. Hubby said he was looking WAAYY down at him. I told him the comments about Kiefer being 5ft 9 and we both said no way! Kiefer looked to be about my height which is 5ft 5 or 5ft 6 at the very most.

BUT, there WERE much taller individuals in both sides of the family. Humans genetics is complicated. I took a genetics course in grad school that was a real "monster"!

Please, will someone shut dmeyer up....for some reason dmeyer, who has never seen Kiefer in person, keeps saying he is 5'11 whereas everyone who has seen him say he is between 5'8 and 5'9, more than likely Rob is correct and he is 5'9". When comparing him to other celebrities and their height Kiefer always seems to come out at 5'9".

Fair enough Frank. I wouldn't argue with you, I wasn't 5 inches taller than my mother either, but you also have to take the fathers height into account. Its not a matter of just adding 5 to the mother. Try it yourself

Frank2 said on 26/May/06
I don't buy the 95% rate. Let's see....I know several guys where who are nowhere near being five inches taller than their mothers. I have one friend who's around 5'8" and his mom is 5'6". Another where the mother is about 5'8" and her son is the same height with a brother who's 5'6"! Then there's a cousin of mine who's 6'6" while his mom is just 5'2".

The only sure thing is that two plus two equals four.
Parker said on 26/May/06
Frank - Its not 100% accurate. There's a 95% probability of a child being within 4 inches of the genetic height potential, and 60% chance of being within 2 inches. Genetics is the primary driver for height, followed by nutrition and environment. Take your family Mom 5'4, Dad 5'10 (For simplicity) - Genetic height potential Boy = 5'10, Girl 5'4/5'5 - 5'9,5'11,6'1 all within the 95% probability.

There wil always be exceptions - I have a best friend who is 5'4, wife 5'6. Genetic height potential of a son = 5'7/5'8. His 21 year old son is 6'3!

Frank2 said on 26/May/06
Maybe with big, really BIG shoes! But I somehow doubt it. Like I said earlier, when I saw him wearing his cowboy boots with two inch heels he was still at least two inches shorter than me.

I have a first cousin who's dad was 5'6" and mom was 5'8" with him being around 5'10". He has a younger brother who's 5'3" and a sister who's my height. Explain that.

Keefer is no more than 5'9". I saw him many times and he usually wore cowboy boots with two inch heels and was still shorter than me by at least two inches.

The question is, how does the son of a 6'4" guy end up no more than 5'9"?
BackStageJim said on 23/May/06
Notice the hight between Logan (Itzen) during last show, where they walk together in warehouse. KS is just under Itzen in height. I met Gregory at con, and he is 5'9.5 so KS is 5'8-9 given Itzen was wearing dress shoes.

Granted lifts might be somewhere, but if both wear then it cancels out some visual clues.

battle of the lifts? If I were playing the president I'd want to possibly look taller...but then if I was jack bauer I'd also want to be taller ;-}

Rob, I completely agree that he can look that tall. Even on 24 there's a scene during season 1 where he is barefoot and he looks 5'9-5'10. But why would Howell say that? He said that he "dwarfs Kiefer even though he himself is only 5'10." He himself admitted that he is 5'10. Plus, can people actually shrink in height before they reach 40?

Editor Rob
its a bizarre statement, actually I just saw a few stills of Michael Douglas and Kiefer, who doesn't look shorter...

let me answer for Rob please...because dmeyer, when he's on 24 he is Jack Bauer and Jack can do alot of things to make himself look 2-3 inches taller, but if you will read this thread you will notice that the people who have seen Kiefer Sutherland in person all say about the same thing....Kiefer is shorter than they thought and he always appears to be between 5'8" and 5'9". Trust me...real men eat quiche and sometimes they are shorter also.

hey rob sometimes on 24 he looks close to 5'11 but in most of episodes he look 5'9.5 177 is possible
Frank2 said on 29/Mar/06
In the terrific sci-fi film Dark City, when Keefer stood between 6' Rufus Sewell and 6'2" William Hurt he looked really short. It didn't help that Jennifer Connelly who's over 5'7" and was wearing at least three inch heels was the female lead. Add to that 6'7" Bruce Spence and poor Keefer at times looked quite diminutive to say the least.
Glenn said on 28/Mar/06
Correct Frank.
Anonymous said on 28/Mar/06
I agree with Frank2. I'd say closer to 5'8" than to 5'9". If you comapre him with James Morrison who plays Bill Buchanan in "24", Morrison (listed here as 5'11") looks 3 inches taller than Sutherland, even allowing for the fact that he is usually in street shoes, whereas Kiefer wears high-heeled chunky military boots.

In the episode 5x09 of 24 Jack (Kiefer's character) escapes from custody, so they send his description to everybody. According to this (the bulletin Chloe gets) he is 5'10 (his weight is 165).
Mr. R said on 17/Feb/06
Irrelvant, that is a GREAT pic. As I have said, I see Keifer around Hollywood, and he is 5-8 at best! He is always using some type of height enhancement in most of his scenes. By the way, Dennis Haysbert is just over 6-4.

hey rob wath convinced ypu that keifer isnt over 5'9
irrelvant said on 15/Feb/06

No, no. Kiefer isn't that tall (5'11"-range).
175cm is pretty accurate. In 24 he surely wears lifts to appear as a 178-179.
Anonymous said on 30/Jan/06
there is a scene in a movie with lapaglia and keifer is wearing sleepers were you can see the feet so no lifts and he looks very close to his height so keifer is 5'10 5'11 range
dmeyer said on 26/Jan/06
hey rob i am watching 24 and comparing him to lou diamond philips who is 6'0.5" or he sometimes apear 5'11 but i think 5'10 is more accutate i even have watch movies that keifer did and he never apear less than 5'10 so wath make you so sure he is only near 5'9 i think he is aleast 5'10
viktoria said on 26/Jan/06
i always guessed he was not that tall - that is to say 5'8". for folks claiming he's any shorter, like 5'5", i don't know. 5'5" is pretty freaking tiny! michael j. fox is 5'5", 5'6" therabouts. so if kiefer's that short, color me shocked. although come to think of it, he wasn't exactly towering over michael in the film "Bright Lights, Big City" i guess i'll just have to wait to see him on leno...that's the best determining factor for celeb heights to me. i was on jay leno myself and got to stand next to him. i am 5'9" without any help from heels, and leno was maybe an inch taller than me. from that day forward, whenever i see celebs on leno, i am checking out how they are next to him.

nah, 5ft 6 would be insane for Kiefer...
yip said on 17/Jan/06
I found the actor who plays Tony on 24 listed at 5'8". Kiefer looks exactly his height throughout season 4 of the series. Peace!
Xavier Beaumont said on 4/Jan/06
Speaking of the devil, Kiefer owns a recording studio in California with singer/songwriter Jude Cole from UK band The Records. Did you know Kiefer and Jude are responsible for Lifehouse? http://www.ironworksmusic.com/ http://www.judecole.com http://www.therecords.org http://www.johnwicksandtherecords.com

I can't understand how can Kiefer be smaller 17cm!!! than his father????

Editor Rob
he has a twin sister, maybe that had effect??? His half-brother who was the tallest guy in Timeline got the tall gene!
domenico said on 26/Oct/05
kiefer seems 1m75 near donald sutherland that he seems 1m96
Mate said on 26/Sep/05
Yeah I reckon thats a fair call Mr. R, his height seems to vary too much depending on the day! I too wondered about the emmys. I think Rob must be right about that photo with Bateman - he was obviously wearing his "special" shoes that day!
Mr. R said on 19/Sep/05
Mate, I think this proves my point. Jason has always registered near 6 feet, but Kiefer is the one whose height seems to shift. Having met him and pegged him at about 5-8, I say he uses "help" in his shoes sometimes, and other times he comes "Au Natural"!
Mr. R said on 19/Sep/05
Puzzled, I watched the Emmys and thought the same thing. Having met both of them, I do believe that Kyra is near 5-5 and Kiefer is not above 5-8, but he did look more than an inch taller than her on the show. My guess, he has some "help" in his shoes!
Huff said on 7/Sep/05
The picture from 'Truth or Consequences' doesn't really say much, they might intentionally have put those measurements there and even if they didn't kiefer Sutherland most likely had his elevator shoes (if he has those, which is most likely).

Though a interesting thing about 'Truth or Consequences' that can be useful to determine his height is when he wears the white sweather tucked in his jeans, the size of his body above the waist is very short. I find it impossible to believe that even a 5'9" would look that way. Though everyone is different, but Sutherland doesn't look abnormal or misshaped in any way. He looks exactly like a person below 5'7". Generally (normally) men have much smaller/shorter body than women above the waist. But Kiefers body is just to short even for a 5'9" man. I am sure of that.
Mr. R said on 30/Aug/05
I stand by my 5-8 eyewitness sighting. Kiefer ALWAYS wears huge boots with thick soles. Last year I saw him in a bar, and he was barely 5-8 WITH HIS THICK BOOTS!
Mr. R said on 25/Aug/05
Who is he kidding? If his dad is 6-4, then he is almost 8 inches shorter. I saw him last year, and he is about 5-8, with his thick boots on!
Gillis said on 25/Aug/05
I met Kiefer in a bar/club for gentlemen about ten years ago, we spent some time together and when we went up to his hotel room he got his shoes of and he looked equal my height (I’m 5’6”). I had a look at his shoes when he freshened up and they were similar to elevator shoes I had used earlier in my life (felt silly after a while). But I don’t know if they were elevator shoes, they might have been normal shoes with a little extra sole. I didn’t see any insoles though. Elevator shoes that still looks normal can boost you 10 cm, so that would be right as he is listed as 5’10” most often. As for my height judgment ability, it’s not excellent, but not too bad.

In 1998, on the Rosie O'Donnell show, she was commenting on how much he ressembles is father. Kiefer said:"Genetics play a funny part in one's life. I'm about 5 inches shorter. he's a big guy; he's like 6'4. My mother's 5'2 so I got that part of her and it seems like I got the rest of him.
fluffy poodle said on 24/Aug/05
If this site lists Julia Roberts as 5'8, then Kiefer Sutherland is at least 5'9. There are lots of pictures back from when they were an item where you can see them together. She's wearing heels and he's still a little taller than her.
CelebHeights Editor said on 22/Aug/05
From the 24 newsgroup I see the following snippet:

"Kiefer's personal quote on the subject from an interview about 10 years ago was in response to a waitress saying "You're a pretty big guy, what - 5'11" 6'?". His response was, "No, I'm 5'10". They measured me the last time I got arrested."

Maybe tongue in cheek, but anyway sounds like he might have been put in front of a height chart. Although whether the officer noted his height with shoes on is up to question...

The same person who mentioned that quote said, "I met him about a year and a half ago at an MTR event in Los Angeles. I'm 5'7" and was wearing two inch heels and he was taller than me"
mcfan said on 17/Aug/05
My memory might be wrong here, but wasn't Kiefer Sutherland taller than or equal to Jason Patric in "THe Lost Boys?" It's been years since I've seen it and I could be wrong.
Mr. R said on 15/Aug/05
Lmeister, I have been saying 5-8 for Kiefer since I met him in a bar 2 years ago - and that was with his big biker boots!
McFan said on 11/Jul/05
He was at least an inch or two taller than Cruise in "A Few Good Men."
5ft 8!! said on 1/Jul/05
Yeah, I have to agree with 5ft 8, I don't think he's any taller at all. My dad is 5ft 8 and he's exactly the same size and build as Kiefer in 24. For years my dad thought he was 5ft 9 though, and I must admit so did I lol!
Mr. R said on 29/Jun/05
I actually live near Kiefer, and I see him here and there in Hollywood. At the tallest point of the day, he is 5-8 at best. This is also with his big black biker boots. Next time I see him, I will ask for a pic.
hmmz said on 29/Jun/05
Check out the first series of 24 and look ant Kiefer's shoes; they look slightly dodgy. Not only that, but why do so many people say he's 5'11"? Even in 24 they said he was, the bit that displayed this was the scenes involving the photographer, where Palmers sercurity were on-the-look-out for Jack with apparently being 5'11" tall - which kinda funny. Thing is though, they did try and make him look 5'11" as there were some scenes where Kiefer looked pretty tall. In the later series, Kiefer looks A LOT shorter, so I guess they did away with the 'trying to be 5ft11' trick.
Whoever said on 17/Jun/05
Saw him, OJ and Lou Ferrigno all on the same day at some rich school's baseball tourney in Brentwood. Keifer is same height as Christian Slater, which is to say 5'5". OJ is 6'1" and Lou Ferrigno is a monster, 6'4" and close to 300# easy. He looked like he was gonna turn green and rip out of his clothes right there.
mary said on 12/Jun/05
tke a gd look at carlos bernard and him toguether ull see they are just the exat same height and carlos is ranked as 5/8 i think kiefer is too and i also think that kim raver DOES wear high heels
MHouillon said on 12/Jun/05
Three Digits: 177
Anonymous said on 11/Jun/05
he's got to be atleast 5"9. on 24 when he's next to kim raver (audrey raines) who is 5"9 (i think, add her to your database rob!), he's the same height as her but i dont know if she wears heels or not, so its difficult to tell if he's 5"9 or taller..
Bill said on 4/Jun/05
The Sutherlands(and I'm talking about the whole scottish clan) fall into 2 basic types, 5-8(ish) and medium build and 6-4(ish) and skinny, so Kiefer is perfectly normal, many of those with the surname Sutherland especialy those who live in Scotland are still like this both types together.
J. said on 15/Mar/05
He has such a tall father ... so i'm suprised he turned out so short. His mom is listed as 5'2" so I guess he took after her in size.
Lmeister said on 1/Mar/05
I wouldn't have believed it, but the truth is that Kiefer is around 5 ft 8 in just take a look at some pics of him and 5 ft 9 in Woody Harrelson...btw Woodys height can be checked from his drivers license http://www. Mugshots.net/woody_harrelson/woody_harrelson.jpg and usually guys tend to round up a bit ; ) So it could be possible that even Woody is only 5 ft 8 in...
