Under 6ft1 is a joke for this guy forget under 6ft!


Nearly 6ft2 is arguable.
Darksol64 said on 31/Aug/22
I've been looking at a lot of pics with this guy lately and may need to revise my older comment.

He looks taller on the show than he does off the show it seems like. Maybe they gave him a smaller 2 inch platform shoe to give him a good +1 inch given that he was working alongside a 6'8 guy? Even then, Brad seems to tower him a good 7 inches. I see old comments on here suggesting Ray could of been 6'2 and even 6'3.....6'2 is extremely unlikely and 6'3 is impossible.

I'd honestly be really surprised to see a legit 6'1" barefoot measurement after being on his feet for 5 hours, even in his 30s. I don't think he's as short as the 5'11 3/4 figure thrown around, but it's not impossible either. Sometimes he does seem to barely have a 5'7 eyeline next to guys like Kevin James. And almost looking identical height to 5'11 guys only edging them a little.

So I'm going to drop my guess from the original 6'1 and 1/4 to 6' and 1/2. I think that's a good compromise; the maximum ranges possible I see for this guy are 5'11.75-6'1.25

Actors do lie about their fairly frequently, but in this case he’s honest, since he does look a strong 6’1” IMO.
Canson said on 13/Jan/22
JordanG said on 11/Jan/22
To Canson, I'm sure if the actor, Ray, says he is 6'1, then he's 6'1.
As for the episode quote in question, going from 6'0 to 5'11 is probably more of a "dramatic" and "comedic" storyline than someone going from 6'1 to 6'0.

Just because he says he’s 6’1 doesn’t mean he is 6’1”. That’s like the Rock saying he’s 6’5 when he’s not

CM92 u are not too bright eh lol..that episode was just made for TV cuz it was about basketball and people that aren’t over 6’1 at least in basketball are considered useless! That’s like saying everything in the show he says must be taken literally then lol..honestly u ppl. Take a look when Ray is standing side by side with Peter Boyle who is supposed to be 6’’2! Ray is clearly taller! By at least an inch..even if Boyle has shrunk or isn’t standing up fully straight, they would still at least b the same height, which is 6’2! Ray is taller then almost everyone that comes on or is on that show except His brother Robert! Brad Garrett, open your eyes people!
Allie said on 19/Nov/21
I was just rewatching Everybody Loves Raymond and thought it was weird that in an episode of the show, his character was measured at 5’11.75 and he claimed to be 6’0. Maybe it just for the episode. I was kind of surprised though, because normally people inflate their height!

Anyways, he looks to be around 6’1, maybe a bit over.
Nathan Hatton said on 6/Oct/21
Rob, What is the highest peak height you could see for Romano.
I thought he could look about 6'2" on ELR or close to it like in the 6ft1.5-2 range he certainly looked taller than 6ft flat.
I think that measuring episode on the show was done to emphasise the 6ft mark because I noticed Patricia Heaton had sneakers on and was barely above the 5ft mark!
Editor Rob
Not a full 6ft 2, but just under it is the most I'd go...
avi said on 9/Sep/21
@Rob

He is hardly taller than Steve Harvey (who is bald) and looks maybe .05 difference and I think Steve is 6'0 flat maybe 6'0.2 but could be be a weak 6'0 nowadays

Link below:

I mean maybe he was 6'1.25 peak and 6'0.8- 6'1 now?
He is in his 60s could have lost a 1/4 inch
On ELR he looked a 6'1 and change guy
Darksol64 said on 18/Aug/21
I'm literally 6'1.99 in the morning (hair below 6'2) which levels off to 6'1 and a half by the end of the day. I guarantee the guy is not taller than I am. 6'1 sounds spot on. Possibly an additional .25 or .50 but no more.

He looks good and tall on the show, but he's a touch below Ashton K from two & a half by at least an inch, possibly inch and a half. Putting my guess in at 6'1.25
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Aug/21
I'm almost certain he's said 6ft2 as well. I'd be reluctant to give him 6ft1 flat, 186cm I can see an argument for but no less. 6ft and under is plain ridiculous, not a chance he's that low
highly suspect said on 30/Jun/21
Lawbay11 - little man syndrome? He’s solid 6’1. That makes him taller than like 90% of men on this planet. Delusional
Canson said on 3/Jun/21
@Editor Rob: CM92 is correct. He did say that. He’s not 6’1.5. Why would he be 6’1 but claim 6’0 on the show?

Editor Rob
From the time I looked at it, I was under an impression it was for dramatic effect and the ruler was chopped off at the bottom, but it's a fair few years since I watched it.
Cm92 said on 2/Jun/21
On everybody loves raymond. 6 feet under episode. Shows with his shoes off that he's 6ft max according to the height scale.
Lawbay11 said on 4/Mar/21
I want proof Ray that you are 6'1-6'1.5"...
Around 6'8 robert on ELR he looks a solid 8" shorter
6' tops RAY...Stop having little man syndrome
Nathan Hatton said on 23/Sep/20
6ft flat or just under is a joke, He could look 6'2" in ELR or at least 6'1.5" probably closer to a flat 6'1" nowadays, The measuring episode in ELR was done for the purpose of episode I can't see how the 5'11 3/4 is true if you notice Patricia Heaton barely came up to the 5ft mark in thick trainers and she is listed as 5'2" if that was true she would be 4'11 tops.
Canson said on 19/May/20
6’1 is more accurate
texluh said on 16/May/20
De Niro looks 5 ft 9 in the Irishman against everyone else. And on that basis - since Romano shares scenes with De Niro - Romano looks 6 ft 1.5
Canson said on 11/Feb/20
6’1 flat as he claimed
MBR said on 4/Jan/20
I actally underestimated his peak height.
I say
Peak: 6'2 strong
Current: 6'1 flat
NotRay said on 22/Dec/19
I think he could have been a little over 6’1 in his peak maybe he was measured younger some people think they are a bit shorter than they really are or really were at some point. Especially if you are measured at 18 but grow an inch or so into your early 20s 6’1 now is what he gets from me

🎈🎂🕯️🎊 Happy Birthday Ray! 🎊🕯️🎂🎈

Ray celebrates his 62nd Birthday today. He doesn't look it, so I doubt that he's lost any significant amount of height yet.

This good-postured Birthday Boy can have 6ft1.5. 😁👍🎁

Most likely 187-186cm. Maybe 6'2'' (188cm) when he was younger.

He is definitely greater than 6 feet unlike some others say here. 187 cm from me.

Again, a tough one...but I can see how Ray at times seems only 186cm range
Rexargh said on 25/Jan/19
Watching ELR now, no way he is a foot taller than Deborah who is supposedly 5’2’’

In Scenes with his on screen brother, it 6’2 to 6’8 it just doesn’t look right for some reason. Can’t put my finger on it.
Shane said on 22/Aug/18
@Rob thanks for the detailed explanation. Still no proof but I can understand why you believe it.

@Canson: maybe. Still not convinced dr. Measurement was barefoot but who Knows. They dont take shoes off much anymore ar dr.
Canson said on 20/Aug/18
@Shane: I think a peak height may have been 6’8” but today 6’7” for Garrett
Shane said on 17/Aug/18
@Rob: What are you basing your "ruler having 2 inches knocked off it" on? I keep seeing you repeat this, but I have never seen any evidence anywhere that this occurred so I'm just curious. If it is not cut off, then his 6'1" claim could be a shoe height or his 6'1 1/2" a morning show height. As for my previous comment, perhaps he is/was taller than I estimated previously as I did not realize his brother in Everybody Loves Raymond is supposedly 6'8". He says the doctor measured him just over 6'8" BUT keep in mind that MANY American doctors do not ask you to take your shoes off when they measure so who knows if he is claiming a barefoot height or not.
Editor Rob
I believe the giraffe board was knocking 2 inches from the height, the reverse of the video I did with a video about "miracle growth" (chopping out 2 inches from the tape measure). I think in the clip Heaton didn't look much above the 5ft mark with footwear which seemed to match up with the idea.
I'd be really surprised if he was under 6ft a fraction.
Shane said on 13/Aug/18
Would be shocked if his 6'1 1/2" claim is barefoot. Got to be a shoe height. I'm surprised Rob took his own claim as for most people he doesnt necessarily do that. Must have more proof than I've seen. And is there proof of rule being cut off for his measurement on the show? Kind of a major assumption in my opinion. He could be over 6 foot barefoot early in day and then 5'11 3/4" by taping which over 6 foot like 6'0 1/4" would get him right to his 6'1 1/2 claim in shoes. I dont buy him at over 6'1" barefoot.
Brett said on 4/Apr/18
Rob, once again... after seeing Tiger Woods with Federer... it also confirms Romano is nowhere near 6'1.5" ... probably an inch shorter at the least.

Id actually even go so far as to refute the fact that they chopped an inch off that measuring wall in the old Everybody loves Raymond series... hes just not that tall.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Mar/18
Nearly 6ft2 peak and just over 6ft1 today
HENDOOOOO said on 25/Feb/18
rob on Everybody Loves Raymond without shoes in six feet under the episode. He was measured 5/11 3/4 which is actually 6ft 1/34 inches?
Editor Rob
It was one of those episodes in which the 6ft mark was the important point...so they looked to have chopped inches from the rule.

Very much like the Miracle growth video I did with the rigged tape measure.
GARY said on 26/Dec/17
He looked close to 6ft2 peak look at ray in Welcome to Mooseport alongsaide Gene Hackman and in raymond with Peter Boyle, Its possible he was 187cm range and nowadays might be 185 cm range.

5ft11 is too low, He clears 6ft for sure, He Looks taller than any 5ft11- 6ft guys, 6ft1-2 Range overall he looks imo
HonestSlovene said on 17/Nov/17
Classic 186 cm guy peak now 185 cm.
rdesinoz said on 4/Nov/17
Rob, At the beginning of the ELR episode "Six Feet Under" he is measured at under 6 feet (without footwear). It was filmed in 1998 and so he'd be 40. I think he's therefore due a downgrade to around 5'11" as seeing it a second time he's more than the 1/4" under 6' than is claimed.
Editor Rob
for that episode they chopped a couple of inches from the ruler to maybe make the whole '6 foot' mark and his being just under have more comedic impact than if it was 6ft 2 and just under it.
Paul said on 2/Nov/17
Rob, possible he's shrunk? He certainly doesn't look like he's pushing 6-2 with 5-8 Kevin James in this clip (although his posture is suspect): Click Here

fraction of an inch yes, a half or 3/4 I'm not sure about that.

@Mike so you're saying he's short and 5ft 10 wtf
anon said on 21/Jul/17
Terry where is your evidence that he is just 6'0, He certainly looks taller than that range compared to folks tho he could have lost height now, I still reckon he is around 6'1 and 6'2 peak given how he looked with Peter Boyle and Brad Garrett in Everybody Loves Raymond.
y
That height episode on the show he was that height tho, But I think that was purely for the effect because no guy at 6'1 3.4 is going to moan at being a shade under 6'2 but 5'11 3/4 to 6'0 makes more sense
Dean said on 30/Jun/17
Around 188cm
anon said on 29/Jun/17
Might be closer to 6'1 now maybe 186 range, I think Peak was 187-188cm for sure, always looked pretty tall on Everybody Loves Raymond keep in mind he was working besides a 6'8 Brad Garrett and Peter Boyle was a tall man also.
S.J.H said on 19/Jun/17
Strange.. Romano claim 6'2 ten years back. Now he claim 6'1-6'1.5 , i did believe he measure lowest at 6'1 and just 6'2 with footwear
anon said on 6/Nov/16
Might be closer to a flat 6'1 now like 186cm range but I think was a 6'2 guy on Raymond always looked a tall guy on the show, He stated he was 6'2 many yrs ago now and said 6'1 and 6'1.5 so He likely could have measured 6'1- 1.5 range anywhere.
TH said on 18/Aug/16
I am 187/188 cm and I can tell you that Ray is about my height. I'd put him at 187cm or 6'1.5"

As for the show about height, it sounds like a good show when a guy who "thinks" he is 6 feet is measured 5'11 3/4". Nobody has sympathy for a 6'2" guy complaining about being a half/quarter inch shorter. Doesn't make for a good show.

Looks only a little bit shorter than the 6'2" Bobby Cannavale on Vinyl. I think 186cm would be spot on.

At least an inch shorter than Bobby Cannavale in Vinyl. 6'1'' seems more accurate, unless Cannavale is taller than listed (6'2'').

"" kevin says on 11/Nov/14
would have guessed him around 6'2 watching Raymond, I think he is around 187 or 188cm. Brad Garrett was a 6'8 guy on Raymond, he has likely lost height now ""

So all the doors they used on the set in the show was 6'10? why go through all the trouble? Infact Brad walked straight easily under the doors with his shoes on and it was easily an inch left...

Ray is nothing more than 6'0 (if even that...) if he says 6'1 then thats for sure includes footwear. And Brad is 6'5 range tops, might have been 6'6 15-20 years ago

He'd definitely be 189cm range early morning.

Very short cast on Raymond show, that why he apperar tall. I mean, both his friends i.e the Giovanni guy and the other shorter one... both clearly below average. And Patricia (Debra) is in the 4'10-4'11 range at best and so is Ray's mom. His daddy Peter Boyle was perhaps 5'11 at best and Brad Garret around 6'5... Ray 6ft tops

I initially thought 6ft2-3, but supposedly he claimed 6ft1.5.
He really came across as 6ft2 minimum on ELR.
Lurk said on 10/Aug/13
If he stated 6ft 1.5 then he is no more than that height - very few actors downgrade themselves, after all.

But, with Romano being 187cm maximum, how can Brad Garrett be 204cm? Is there really as much as 17cm (6,75 inches) between the two?
avi said on 8/Aug/13
@Levi says on 8/Aug/13
hardly taller but Boyle was probably 6'1 there and Ray 6'1.5-6'1.75 aka a weak 6'2. i highly doubt he is over 6'1.75 thats too generous for him i think as well. Rob has him right i think. the picture with Baldwin and Kimmel is a good indicator of him standing in the mid 6'1 region.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Jun/13
I personally would pick 188cm over 187cm. He was slightly taller than Peter Boyle who was maybe 186cm at that point?

LAN, this has been questioned over and over - the ruler on the show was rigged. If you look closely, the first foot was 2" longer than the rest of them. Screenshots of the episode were fully examined down to the pixels. Patricia Heaton also came up to the 5' mark, 2 inches shorter than her real height.
LAN said on 17/Mar/13
In the episode Six Feet Under on Everybody Loves Raymond, Debra measures him as 5'11.75" but he argues that he is 6 feet tall. I don't see why he would chop 2 inches off of his height.

Anonymous said on 9/Feb/13
No Way is he 6'0, He looks about 6'2 range, 6'1.5 must be him saying his lowest height, very honest guy, precise too, He said about 6'2 on show before and Garrett said 6'8.
omg said on 26/Jan/13
if he claims 6'1 1/2 then it for sure includes footwear, so 6'0 tops barefoot. But even if he is 6'1 1/2 then brad garrett is around 6'6 tops
Rickson said on 3/Jan/13
Ray is around 6'2.
hs2012 said on 15/Oct/12
The episode "Six Feet Under" was all about Ray dipping under the magic 6'0" barrier and feeling upset about it. The point of the episode would have been totally lost if he was measured at 6'1" or 6'2" and used to be 0.5" taller. It's definitely not a measurement to be taken seriously!

Ray claims 6'1.5" for himself on the aforementioned commentary on "The Canister" episode, which I think looks very legit.
Twithers said on 11/Sep/12
In the episode "Six Feet Under" he is measured at 5ft 11.75in while using one of those giraffe height measurement sticks. The only problem is that Patricia Heaton, who is this scene is wearing tennis shoes with ridiculously tall heels, barely reaches the 5ft mark. So, either Heaton is WAY shorter than the claim of 5ft 2in OR they fudged the measuring stick to make Romano appear less than 6ft. I can understand why they would do that. I mean who is going to feel sorry for someone moaning about not being quite 6ft 2in.
Editor Rob
yeah we had discussion on here a few years ago and the measuring stick was 'fudged' a bit at the other end to take off 2 inches.

Silent d said on 16/Nov/11
There was a weird episode where he was 182cm. If kelsey grammar is a 6 footer than ray is 187cm easy. Watch back to you. The difference between kelsey and patricia is not as big as the difference in everybody loves raymond next to ray. He was shorter than letterman though so that is an anomaly. Maybe weird angle. He looks tall next to brad. How tall is terry bradshaw rob? He looked a bit taller than him. I heard he is 6 foot. I really thought ray was 182cm. When he went on king of queens, he looked 187cm easy.
Kent said on 15/Nov/11
Just to clarify the source for Romano's statement: The DVD box set of Season 5 includes the episode titled "The Canister." The audio commentary for that episode has a conversation between Romano, Heaton, and producer Phil Rosenthal. It is during an early scene where the actors are all standing in the kitchen that they begin comparing heights.

Romano did't work out a 6'2 frame. Even in shoe he looks a 6'1 guy fits in it. Max @185.5cm
Shaun said on 21/Oct/11
Oh well I thought he was 189-190cm..
Kent said on 10/Oct/11
OK, straight from Romano's mouth, he says he's 6'1 and 1/2. He says it during the audio commentary on the episode "The Cannister" (I believe). He mentions to Patty Heaton that when people meet him they often say he is taller than they thought, because of his relativity next to Brad Garrett. But he adds "I'm 6'1 and a half."
Mr. R said on 24/Aug/11
Ray is 6-2 heading to 6-3. I worked with him on a tv show.

If Patricia Heaton is 5ft 2in, Romano does not look a foot taller than her. I think he's around 6 foot.
Big mike said on 22/Aug/11
Well i guess in one episode he claimed to be 6ft but he's clearly 2 inches over plus he clearly is a little over the door hinge
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Aug/11
On Everybody Loves Raymond he always looked near in height to Peter Boyle. Granted Boyle is listed here as 189cm, it's quite evident that he had shrunk a bit.

Between 6ft1.5/6ft2.
Andrew1995 said on 9/Jul/11
Strange thing though is he can look 6'4-5" tops. Brad Garrett comes through the door and does look 6'9"ish in footwear being about an inch taller than door frame but then compared to Romano looks 3-4 inches taller NOT 6 inches.

Rob : He claimed he was 5"11.75 in an episode in Everybody loves Raymond. Plus, a lots of places have him listed as 5"11 or 6. What's your take on that?

Editor Rob
that episode with the measuring was staged a bit, I think 2 inches were chopped of the ruler or whatever it was.
James said on 10/Jun/11
i agree 6'1-6'2
Lenad said on 7/Jun/11
6'2ish. Looks it
Bon_ said on 3/Jun/11
I reckon he's a solid 6'1, no more than that.
Mohammed said on 20/May/11
Probably 6'1.25-6'1.5, doubt he's 6'2
Zach said on 18/May/11
Why wouldn't they just say in that episode that he shrunk to 6'1.75. I was so surprised to see he was 6'2"
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/May/11
Rob are the 5"11.75 claims possible?

Editor Rob
no, he's taller than 6 foot guys.
Kent said on 10/Apr/11
Tom, I agree with you about that "Raymond" episode about him being 5'11. It was simply artistic license from the writers. Romano, Peter Boyle, Fred Willard and Robert Culp were all close in height on the show, and they were all in the 6'2 range.
lee said on 24/Mar/11
I think 6'2 is about right for Ray.
Reznik said on 21/Mar/11
He doesn't seem to have 2.25 inches on 5'11.75 Scott Bakula in this picture:

Tom said on 10/Mar/11
Saw him at a Lakers game. I'm a solid 5'11" and I thought he was noticeably taller than me. I'd say at least 6'1". That one episode was centered around him thinking he was shrinking so that 5'11 and 3/4 thing was probably just play acting. Also, Rob Estes and Harry Hablin were tiny (like 5'6-7), Andy Garcia was at least 5'9" and Dian Cannon was just plain scary.
avi said on 9/Mar/11
Well 6'1 isnt as tall as one thinks so i'd say hes 6'1. Brad Garret isnt even 6'8 hes like 6'7 and a half if lucky. with shoes he'd scrap the top doors cause it would give him over an inch.
Mathew said on 7/Feb/11
If we want to be exact, I think he's really more 187 cm than 188, 6'1.5" - 6'1.75" range.
Arnold said on 29/Dec/10
When he was on Conan he was definitely at least two inches shorter than 6'2" Andy Richter.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Dec/10
Rob is 187cm or 189cm more likely?

Editor Rob
i wouldn't say 189cm was likelier
jak said on 21/Dec/10
i'm 6 2' and stood next to him on by my tv and he's the same height as me
duder said on 19/Dec/10
ray romano is almost 6' but 6'2" is ridicule, he is one of the very few honest actors claiming his true height at 5'11.75".
E said on 7/Dec/10
does not look 6'2" maybe 6' tops... they have an ELR episode where he says himself that hes 5'11" and three quarters...
James said on 2/Dec/10
he does look 6'2 with brad garrett
Legend said on 5/Nov/10
6'1 is more like it. Peter Boyle had lost height by the time he was on Everybody Loves Raymond, which is why he appeared shorter than Ray.
matt said on 30/Jun/09
Ray is a tall guy, He is 6'2 1/2-189 cm, A shade under 6'3, I saw him and kevin james playing golf, I am 6'0 1/2- 184 cm and he was a couple inches taller than me so I would say around 6'2 1/2 is accurate.
bob h. said on 16/Jun/09
Just saw him in "Mooseport" with Hackman. Both looked similar height. Hackman has claimed 6'2". I beleive it was true 10 to 20 years ago. I'd give Hackman... and thus Romano 6'1".
D' Sarge said on 13/Jun/09
Romano has to be at least 6'2" and maybe a few centimeters. Whenever, he'd stand next to Peter Boyle on his famous show, he'd always outrank him by an inch, so that means Peter Boyle is at least 6'1"
Roberto2000 said on 12/Jun/09
I've met Ray in L.A once, nice guy we had a little chat about the show. This was back in 2002. I'm 6'4 and he was definitely only 2 inches shorter.
Mathew said on 7/Jun/09
I'd go with 6'1" min, 6'2" max.
yoyo said on 17/May/09
i"ll say brad a weak 6ft8, romano weak 6ft2. both takes off about 2cm in reality. my old neighbour jack was a legit 6ft8.5 guy. so i could easily see any guy whose really taller than him or not. brad def abit lower jack. brad a strong 6ft7.5 romano 6ft1.5

That was solely for that specific episode in the show, if we go on that debra would be 4'11 and not 5'2 because she was just under the 5'0 mark, it was for the episode, he is 6'2 1/2 he looks it too, ray romano is tall
Rob said on 17/Mar/09
In an episode of everyone loves Raymond his wife measured him at 5'11.5 & Raymond remarks "No I'm Ray Romano & I'm 6'0 tall. I know it's a line in a show but even still he doesn't look 6'2.
Hazz said on 12/Mar/09
Ray Romano is 6'3- 190 cm, The guys in Raymond were tall Brad Garrett is 6'8 1/2- 204 cm and peter boyle was 6'2-188 cm, They all look tall, Ray looked a bit taller than Frank to me on raymond and robert was a giant, 6'8 and a bit for sure, huge man.
damien said on 8/Mar/09
Ray Romano is 6'2 1/2- 189 cm, he is a tall guy he was 2 inches taller than tiger wood who is 6'1, which tells you he is indeed around the 6'3 mark, i dont know what the debate is about, he looks tall in genral and on raymond he was a inch taller than peter boyle.
dani said on 3/Mar/09
I disagree here. He looks 6'1. He doesn't look that tall. Robs needs to downgrade him. He's 6'2 with lifts.
Lenad said on 3/Mar/09
He looks 6ft1ish on Raymond if you ask me.
Clark said on 1/Mar/09
In the show they could have written that he was 5'2" and some folks will just buy it. The fact that Peter Boyle was a solid 6'2"+ and played Frankenstein in his youth. He and Ray were always eye to eye..
Clive said on 16/Feb/09
Ray is 189 cm tall, which in foot is 6-2.5, Just try google type in Ray Romano height, but most things have him that height anyway, most sites, a few have him 6'3 and 6'4.
pless said on 3/Jan/09
Big kid yh i saw all episodes, yh that episode where he was 6 foot that was just for that specific episode storyline purely, i mean his proper height is 6 foot 2 1/2 but he cant have that rounded down to 6'0 as easy, i mean patricia heaton is 5'2 and to that stick she was just under the 5'0 mark, Ray Romano is 189 cm tall
Big Kid said on 31/Dec/08
in season 2, there is an episode called Six Feet Under where Ray is upset about 'shrinking' because Deb tells him that he is just shorter than 6'. He always thought he was 6'. If in the show he says he is 6'....i'm pretty sure he IS 6 feet tall
anonymous said on 30/Dec/08
He looks tall when i look back. 6 foot 1-2.
SuperAnonymous said on 29/Dec/08
Marty: Yes, I saw that episode where his wife measured him and he turned out to be 5'11.75" and he made a big deal out of it saying he was 6 foot until he realized he shrunk. Funny how he goes on in the later scenes where he buys some lifts to become 6 foot again.

I wonder why he would downgrade himself by 2 inches in the TV show (he produced it himself and wrote himself). I believe he was no taller than 6 foot flat.
anonymous said on 29/Nov/08
I will adjust my estimate to 6 foot 1 and a half.
Marty said on 21/Nov/08
I was watching "Everybody loves Raymond" and on this episode his wife was measuring him and he was 5 ft 11.75in on the dot and during the episode he was constantly telling her he was 6 ft 0 in tall...

Ray is a nice guy, ive met him a few times, hes clsore friends with kevin james he is 6'2 1/2 tall, i am 6'0 and he was 2 or 3 inches taller than me, tiger woods was there too with ray and ray was 2 inches taller and tiger is 6'1.
anonymous said on 14/Oct/08
I watch everybody loves raymond sometimes and i don't think ray is 189cm. It's just not possible. i would say he's 6 foot and brad garret is 6 foot 5. Patricia heaton is short in real life and she's up to ray's neck which means he can't be 6 foot 2. She's only about 5 foot 2 or 3 max. i watched one episode with kevin james and he was up to ray's ear. Kevin James is about 5 foot 8 max because he's pretty short and no way is he 5 foot 10 if raymond is 6 foot 2.
Captain Spaulding said on 20/Sep/08

Ray romano is 6'2 1/2- 189 cm, Brad garrett is 6'8 1/2- 204 cm those two were great on raymond, peter boyle was 6'2-188 cm but he sadly passed away, ray and brad were great i have all the raymonds theyre great,

Ray is 6ft 2.
Brad Garret is about 6'7-6'8. And Ray looks about 5 inchs shorter.
The episode "six feet under", isn't showing his real height.

Gramps said on 7/Mar/08
Terry Bradshaw (in his 40s) was on a 1996 re-run today of Ray's show. Bradshaw has been billed as 6'3" and still looks close to that today in the ESPN studios. In several side by side shots, Ray looked about 1/2" taller than Bradshaw, ignoring the differences in 'hair.'
The Man said on 18/Feb/08
Hmm...I never thought Ray was 6'2...& I doubt he is...I was thinking he was about 6'0...Infact,on one episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" Ray was having a fit about his height! He said he is not 6'0,but 5'11...Still tall though...I'd say 5'10 & up is on the verge of tall...

he always looks tall on everybody loves raymond until Garrett walks in lol. Id say 189 at least.
Claudio said on 6/Jan/08
6'2 sounds about right.
Anonymous said on 17/Oct/07
As far as Ray's height goes, 6'2 for me is easily believable. Take a look at the height of the refrigerator. The average fridge is between 66" and 69" tall. He's at least 6 inches taller than it in the kitchen scenes, so unless it's a small (60") unit, which would put him at 5'7 or 5'8, he's definitely 6'2.
karl said on 12/Oct/07
ray romano is taller than robert culp on raymond, and culp is listed at 6'2 so he is not smaller than 6'2, tv.com trivia states although they acted like his character on raymond was 5'11.5 he is actually 6'4, do not know how true that is but personally i believe ray is 6'2.5
lj said on 9/Oct/07
not sure i looked on various sites, like kelson said he is listed at 189 cm tall, not sure what that is in foot, i guess like 6'2? ,can u please get one of these on peter boyle , check him out i dont know his height but i'm guessing he was 6'1 or 2 and peter was a legend

ray romano is 1.89m tall, he is listed anything from 6'2 to 6'4.5, most things list him 6'3 but he is actually 6'2.5.

On a few sites they have ray at 6'4, i would estimate that he is more than likely 6'2 or 6'3 , most things list him at 6'2.5 though and a few 6'3 so what do you reckon height tracker person
ian said on 4/Aug/07
ray was the same height as peter boyle on the show, they went face to face in the ping pong episode, on the forehead they were the same height, and in who am i they both went in a steamroom barefoot i think they were roughly the same,
my best guess would be ray is 6'2 at best.
Mark said on 20/Jul/07
I saw him at the celebrity golf tournament in Tahoe. I'm 6'3" and can easily say he's not 6'3". I think 6'2" is stretching it; my best guess would be 6'1.5 - 6'1.75" range.
michael voisinet said on 8/Jul/07
ray romano is more than 6'2''tall.he is in the neighborhood of 6'3''to 6'4''tall.he is about an inch or 2 taller than david letterman.

I did a pilot for Jon Henson at SONY once, and I met Ray Romano and Kevin Nealon, who oddly seemed to avoid each other, clearly some bad blood between them! Ray is pretty close to 6-2 and Kevin is between 6-3 and 6-4.
dez said on 20/Jun/07
i agree joey, i would put ray about 6'1, brad is 6'8 and on the show ray appears about the same as peter boyle who was 6'1, kevin james appeared in a few episodes he is 5'9 and ray was like 3 to 4 inches taller.
Joey said on 19/Jun/07
I don't think that episode revealed his true height. It was more effective for the show to make him out to be an even 6 foot as opposed to 6'2. I believe he is 6'2" because he's not that far off from Brad Garett's height. The only reason he doesn't look his height is because of his big head just like Jerry Seinfeld.
bg said on 6/Jun/07
hes 5 11 and a half they meaured him in one of the episodes and he was having a mid life crisis cus he used too be 6 foot
E. Roderick Heath said on 2/Jun/07
He looked exactly 6'0 or maybe 6'1 next to 5'8.5-5'9ish Kevin James on an old episode of King of Queens. He wasn't much taller than (unrelated) Larry Romano who is about 5'10.
l0ck n l0ad said on 25/May/07
Mmmm... just being honest if Ray Romano is a legit 6'2" he is just one of the shortest 6'2" I've seen. I read a lot on this thread now and well I guess evidence shows he is around 6'2", geez he just so doesn't look it even when he's next to shorter people unlike Brad G. There are other flat 6'2"ers out there who look much taller than Ray.
Anonymous said on 17/May/07
Yeah I also remember an episode where Ray was measured by her wife in the show and she told him that he was 5'11 3/4". But I actually think he is like 6'2" or close to close to it like 187cm or 188cm.
ben said on 5/May/07
how is ray romano listed at 6'3, he might be 6'0, but he is not 6'3, the one site as his bio on and it has ray at 6'4, no way at 6'4 he would only be 4 inches smaller than brad and brad appears to have at least 6.5 inches on ray which includes ray's hair too, 6'0 may be more accurate
frank said on 4/May/07
why does everyone think ray is 6'3 he barely hits the 6'0 mark lets not forget his huge hair, he's not tall to brad garrett either, brad has 6 inches on ray easy, and most the time brad doesn't stand straight anyway, ray is 6'0 tall he said his height was 6'0 before in one of the episodes where he got measured

Romano's actually like an inch taller than Boyle on the show, but I don't think Boyle is over 6'1" because he probably shrunk.

romano probably is 6-2 it aint hard to believe if brad garett is 6-8 and peter boyle is 6-2 he is the same as boyle and like 6 inches smaller than brad i say 6'1.5 or 2 definetly

ray is not 5'11 thers no way, cos terry bradshaw appears in one episode and is not much over ray and he is 6'3,ray is 6'2 lets not forget brad garett i would guess is at least 6'8 or around that so he will make most 6 foot guys look smaller, ray and peter boyle are the same height and peter is 6'2

I just watched an episode of romanos show and in it, deborah measures him with his shoes on at 5'11 and 3/4 and romano states multiple times that he is 6' during the scene, therefore making him 5'11 and the jolly green giant is probably no more then 6'6 barefoot

Anthony, I wouldn't go by that movie poster. If you watch the movie itself it is clear that Romano is actually a little taller than Hackman.
C said on 26/Aug/06
Tall-PD, you're information is completely inaccurate. If you would read what was stated in the previous comments, you'd see that:
A) Ray said he has always "6 foot" not 6'1"
B) The height stick appears to have an added ~2" to make him appear 2 inches shorter than his real height. Take a look at the pictures posted below.
Tall-PD said on 26/Aug/06
Alright everyone!! Ray Romano is not 6ft 2in!! There was a show where he had measured him self(or doctor did). And he was sad to find out that he had shrunk a half inch. He said that he was always 6'1" and argued with Debora (Patricia) that the doctor was wrong. So Debora bought him some insoles, which made him feel better. That was the end of the show. Yep so hes 6'1" at his very best.
Jake said on 15/Jul/06
For some reason I feel like he is not much over 6'1" but is very height concious. 6'2" is the maximum I'd believe and 6'3" is pushing ridiculous.
Anonymous said on 22/May/06
Ray Romano is 6'3" he's an inch taller than David Letterman and 1 shorter than Conan O'Brien. He was on both shows the same week. Brad Garret is 6'8" and Peter Boyle was 6'1" whan he was younger at least. And Hugh Jackman is the same height (6'3") as Ray Romano. And there you go.
BIG TEEZY said on 7/May/06
I would have to agree that Ray is probably about 6'2" since I recall Peter Boyle as being listed at that height when he was much younger and he does seem to be getting more frail and therefore shrinking with age (not like a Gene Hackman type who still looks strong in his 70s-remember a couple years back when it was repoted ol' Gene beat up a couple punks in a bar?) so it is possible that Boyle is 6'0" these days. I don't think Romano is any more than 6'2" which would put Brad Garret at 6'6" or taller-he does seem to slouch a bit at times.
Anonymous said on 21/Apr/06
McConaughey is standing straight in that picture... Ray is leaning in, and could easily have 4-5 inches on him.
Bryan said on 16/Mar/06
Saw an awards show awhile ago where Ray handed an award to Hugh Jackman. He was clearly two inches shorter than Jackman, which means Jackman would have to be 6'6" if Ray's 6'4" is accurate and that's just not possible. Jackman's tall, but he's not THAT tall.
Brett said on 15/Mar/06
doesnt look to have more then an inch on McConaughey, really dont think hes more then 6'1".
C said on 10/Mar/06
I had a few minutes to check and am almost certain that the brand of the refrigerator is "Magic Chef." The label on the door seems identical to the "Magic Chef" label, with the logo on the left. Don't know the model; they have many models out, but there are only 2 different heights of all the models...66" and 66.63". So if the refrigerator really is 66" it would seem that the height stick is pretty accurate when moved 2" down. And Patricia Heaton's height seems very close to what she claims she is, minus the shoes. So I would not consider this height stick as completely made up. Given that info, if correct, Ray is very close to 6'2", just as the listing shows.
C said on 8/Mar/06
I think the height measuring stick episode makes all the difference. If you really want to check the "correctness" of the markings, you can compare Patricia Heaton's 5'2" height, and the height to the top of the refrigerator for reference. Then note that all markings are even from 1-6 feet. You can then compare Brad Garrett's, Peter Boyle's, Doris Roberts, and all the actors' heights to the refrigerator's top (5'6" according to the height stick moved down 2"). There's no way to tell within an inch, but it's close enough not to immediately throw it out and believe all markings are off.
I don't have time to study all this, so maybe someone can come up with a conclusion, rather than just throwing out what could be good evidence.
Or if someone really wants to know, maybe we can figure out the model and dimensions of the refrigerator - if it's a pure prop or gutted real model - and see if it's a true 5'6".
Just throwing out suggestions since there's still many who argue about his true height.
bob1 said on 28/Feb/06
I am really not convinced Ray Romano is 6'2" or over barefoot. I would say he might be 6'2" in normal shoes, and more 6'1" barefoot. What made me think more about it is an episode of ELR when Ray and Brad are talking and Brad is barefoot but Ray is wearing shoes. You get a couple of good shots of them standing right next to each other in reasonable posture and the difference is no less than 6 inches. As well, in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode Brad Garret's in, 6'1"-6'2" Will Smith seems, when they both stand next to each other in shoes, 1-2 inches taller than Romano when compared to Garrett. Now some debate Brad Garrett's height of 6'8" (but me not included) and for me it seemed Romano's 6'2", or his 6'2.5" listing, would probably be in shoes. Having said that I do agree that he can look taller, and short of going to the popular "he must wear lifts", I can't provide an explanation for that, other than perhaps some of those he's seen with are exaggerating their height also.
shizzle said on 11/Feb/06
I'm watching the Pebble Beach Pro-Am right now and Ray was standing beside Eric Close. Eric is listed as about 6'0 and Ray looked a good 3 inches taller. Just FYI.
Gramps said on 27/Dec/05
Jone, you are totally delusional!
Hazza said on 27/Dec/05
I've searched a lot of websites and have found that Ray Romano is 6-3 and a half and Brad Garrett is 6-8 and a half. So if u want the real facts, don't look at a height-chart episode but actually look around and find what's actually true.
Gramps said on 27/Nov/05
Regarding the Barkley/Webber/Garrett/Romano photo: I think the perspective is off due to the camera angle and maybe even the tilt of the camera. Plus Ray is slouching badly. There are too many other photos showing Romano as 6'2" to 6'2.5" for this to be relevant. I'm always seeing an occasional photo of a celebrity looking unusually tall or short. These are generally anomalies, or "flyers" in target shooting jargon, and should be ignored.
Brett said on 27/Nov/05
Rob if Romano was 6'2" or more he would have looked closer in height to Barkley, what you think?
Gramps said on 26/Nov/05
Guys, two comments: 1) Please double-check my links below that clearly show Ray to be near the 6'2" listed here. 2) A measuring stick used in a TV episode could easily have been made up for the show, bearing little relation to a "real" measuring stick. The story line wanted to make a point about this fictional character, so props could be made to fit the story line. Also, the markings on the measuring stick look unusually large, maybe to be easily read by a TV viewer. In other words, the measuring stick is likely as fictional as the show and therefore proves nothing.

Well, Brett, you seemed to imply that Ray was under 6 feet because you said "realistically, why would they have the need to story about him being just under 6ft if it just has no baring on Ray Romanos life." I am trying to dispute that he is easily over 6 feet tall. Not the fact that he may be 6'1" or 6'2". That's all subjective depending on how you view his head up to the height stick, and how you guess his skull underneath his hair. From watching the DVD at all angles, he appears to be around 6'1.5" mark, so that would be my conclusion. My suggestion is to watch the episode and come up with a conclusion from all the angles, and see from there.

Guys, keep in mind that doorways made for studio sets are notorious for being undersized. It makes the actors look taller. They've been doing it for over 60 years. Since all TV/movie doorways are not of a standard (or necessarily the same) size, no conclusions one way or another can be drawn from an actor's stature compared to a doorway.
Craig said on 23/Nov/05
I don't understand why there is doubt on this case. I have the episode on DVD. You can clearly see the added 2 inches FROM EVERY ANGLE as plain as day. No camera tricks, nothing. Buy the DVD, count the number of inches from 0 to 1 feet, then recall that no 1 foot has 14 inches. It's not hard to work out. The height stick is clearly 6'2" where it says 6'0".
It is ridiculous to think the story would be the same if you're striving to get to 6 foot or 6 foot 2". 6 foot is a psychological landmark to some. Who in the world would care about a story that says I'm 6'2", not 6'1.75". To go into a different "territory" from the 6 foot range into to the 5 foot range is what's supposed to make this a story. Not the fact that he lost 1/4".
If you follow the "Everybody Loves Raymond" series closely, you'll see that Ray only writes a few of the actual stories. Phil Rosenthal and a team of writers mainly write the stories. Many stories are based on their lives, not his. The family and behavior is based on his life, but individual stories are mainly on the writers'.

Yeh I dont know what doors are more then 205cm, which is 6'8" 6'9" max, usually around 201 odd , atleast in my house. I cant see Garret being more then 6'7" and Webber cant be more then 6'8.5", as 6'10 would have made him look alot bigger in that pic. realistically, why would they have the need to story about him being just under 6ft if it just has no baring on Ray Romanos life ? , surely he could have done it for 6'2" and gone have claimed to always have been 6'2" but was only 6'1.5". Either way from that pic, It looks like a height stencil, not a makeshift thing which is bodgy, so I dont think each foot is different as such, plus the 3 different shots hae different camera angles, which really confuse you when comparing images. Either way, if you look at the diff between rays head and the 6ft mark, theres quite a gap, more like an inch or more, so Its a hard one to work out.
Mr. R said on 22/Nov/05
I will stick to my eyewitness report that Ray is 6-2 heading toward 6-3. I worked with him on a pilot.
CelebHeights Editor said on 22/Nov/05
Thanks to Chris, he got some pics of this. I agree with what he had said - the prop man simply looks to have added 2 inches to the 'first foot' of the stick and the sketch would work better as the other commenter said with the 'manly 6 foot' as opposed to 6ft 2...

How can Garret be 6'8'', Gramps? Chris Webber is 6'8'', 6'8 1/2'' at best in bare feet, and he is taller than Garret even though he's leaning down.
Viper652 said on 22/Nov/05
The actual door is 6-7. Its the little opening from the floor to the bottom of the door that is another inch, and in total is 6-8. At least thats what I measured in my house one time.
CelebHeights Editor said on 22/Nov/05
Chris, a site visitor sent me this info:

"Rob, I see a discussion about the episode where Ray's height is 5'11
3/4" in your web site. I did a bit of studying (was bored) and came to
a conclusion that he is a bit under 6'2". I have the episode on DVD and
have captured stills of the measuring stick and where he comes up to
it. I believe this is finally the evidence where we can conclude Ray's true height. The the measuring stick used is clear from top to bottom...and Ray stands right in front of it without his shoes. The measuring stick is off, and the reason why it's off is because they added 2 inches to the very bottom of the measuring stick. The distance from 1 to 2 feet, 2 to 3 feet, 3 to 4
feet, 4 to 5 feet, 5 to 6 feet are all the same. However, the measurement from 0 to 1 feet is longer than the rest - 2 inches longer. Thus, I concluded this chart was raised by 2 inches from the bottom - probably the easiest way for the set builders to do this without looking so obvious. In addition, Patricia Heaton would appear to be 5'2" if this chart didn't have the 2" lift. Since they measured him at 5' 11 3/4" with the chart raised 2", he is 6' 1-3/4". In fact, some might even say he looks to be 6' 1-1/2", depending on how you view it. I hope this will finally prove to those who think he's under 6 foot, or over 6'3"."

If I can, I'll try to show these stills.
Brett said on 21/Nov/05
The thing is from that forum, he said Patricia Heaton ( Ie rays wife in the show is 5'6") but shes actually only 5'2". If you see the difference between Ray and her in the show, you would think hes about 10 inches taller then her, so I think that source is not such an accurate one at all, plus, Ray is barely taller then Brad Garrets chin, he definitely is more then 4 inches shorter then Garrett, so I think Garrett is over 6'6" aswell.
CoolJ said on 21/Nov/05
Brett,

Standard doors are USUALLY 6'8.. but the opening can be around 6'10" or even larger if the door is larger. Garrett is definitely 6'8-6'8.5
Jason said on 21/Nov/05
Yep, I'd already guessed he was no more than 6'6'' (he certainly didn't look 6'8 1/2'' in the Pacifier...) ... and he certainly looks it next to Chris Webber there.
Brett said on 21/Nov/05
Yeh Rob Ive met Barkley,as you know, and I was around the same height gap, or maybe a tad higher if anything then Ray is, I think Rays 5'11.75" in his show, may be his real height? As im 6'1", so I think the most he could be is 6'1". Also Barkley is around 6'4" to 6'5" but he doesnt look much shorter then Webber or Garret, I would think Garret is around 6'7 or just under with bare shoes, as he walks under a door with shoes on, and a door is about 6'7" to 6'8", and Webber definitely aint 6'10, Id say hes 6'8" or 6'8.5" and only 6'10" in his BBall shoes. After all the NBA will take players heights in their shoes, and will esculate most heights anyway.

Here's a picture of Ray being dwarfed by the "tallest celebrity golf threesome." http://www.skiernews.com/PIC2-05-07-16GarrettWebberRomanoBarkley.jpg Even though Ray isn't standing straight, there's no way he's even close to 6'4.5 Barkley, and 6'10" Chris Webber with Brad Garrett. I think 6'2.5 is right on, or maybe a hair shorter.

Regarding the episode, Rob is right. The purpose of the episode was to show Ray needing to be the "manly" height of 6 foot. If I recall correctly, the chart they use to measure Ray was off. Look at the markings of where Debra (Patricia Heaton) comes up to the chart. I believe it doesn't show her anywhere near 5'2", so the whole chart was raised to make Ray appear to be right below the 6' marking.
episodewatcher said on 28/Oct/05
Ray Romano is likely just under 6'. There was even an episode about this, Ray and Debra were talking about looks and he was giving her grief for women being obsessed with their body image. She shot back asking why he tells everyone he is 6' when he's really 5'11 1/2. 6'3 just isn't plausible. He isn't significantly taller than the female leads, Debra and the woman who plays his mom. 6'3 is an absolute myth...
Anonymous said on 9/Oct/05
Ray is exactly half inches maybe less shorter then i am
I am exactly and i mean exactly from 6 ft/1/2 inches to 6/3/4 depends on the day
There was a show everybody likes Raymond when he is being measured,and his wife tells him you are quarter inches short of 6 ft,and he says hes 6 ft

So he is between 6-6.1 in tall and thats a fact

"Finally, we hear you now may end up starring in a movie with Dustin Hoffman. You're 6 foot 4. He's 5 foot 6. What is this, ''My Giant 2''?

If they let me act in a movie with Dustin Hoffman, I think our height might not be the only difference you'll notice."

There is no way on earth ray romano is that tall, look at him next to his like 5ft wife in everybody loves raymond, he isnt more then 6ft
sam said on 23/Sep/05
Jackman said he was only 183cm when he first became big, because he was worried he was too tall for the roll wolverine, Ive met hugh before, and he is 190cm, he is very tall, he wouldnt be the one to wear lifts, he already thinks he is too tall, more likely others wear lifts around him, like ll cool J. But yeh he use to say he was only 6ft, but people soon began to catch on, when he dwarfed 6ft actors like john travolta
Viper652 said on 23/Sep/05
Ive heard Jackman say in an interview that he was 6-1 or 6-1.5. Also Marsden was quoted as saying he was no more then 6-1. It doesnt make any sense here.
Anonymous said on 23/Sep/05
is gotta be 6 foor 2 because regular people would look 5 foot 3 near garret and he is taller than hackman
sam said on 23/Sep/05
did you see him next to hugh jackman at the emmys, was a big height diff, like 3 inches. so he is 5'11.5 he claims
Mr. R said on 22/Sep/05
The surprise here is that Ray has become a person of contention. Gibson, Cruise, and Pitt make sense - they epitomize American manhood. But Romano? I met Ray two years ago at SONY Studios, and he was taller than I thought - I actually initially reported the 6-3 sighting. Some of the pics on here dispute this very well.. But I do believe that he is at least 6-2 and a little over. One way to tell is to look at old Lettermen shows. Ray's show was produced by Dave, and he used to be on a lot, especially when the show was struggling. He was at least the same size as the 6-2 Lettermen, and seemed a little taller.
Sam said on 21/Sep/05
well I think you have obvious proof that he isnt anywhere near 6"3, Jackman and sorbo are like 3 inches taller then him, both are 6'3". Plus he claims to be 5'11.5 so why argue with the man, he looks nowhere near 6'3" anyhow
DP said on 21/Sep/05
You only lie about your age when you're UNDER 6'. Can't for the life of me understand why someone 6' and above would even need to lie.
supes78 said on 20/Sep/05
Not that I'm saying that Ray Romano couldn't be shorter but what does he have to gain by lying about his height? The guy's a comedian, not an action star or athlete.
sam said on 19/Sep/05
There is proof ray isnt 6"3. At the emmys, he excepted an award from Hugh Jackman, and looked several inches shorter then hugh, who is meant to be 6"3. The difference was seriously obvious, probably near 3 inches. I have met hugh on several occasions, and he is 190cm, so Ray is no more then 183cm. Ray doesnt look anywhere near 6"3 anyhow, in his show he claims to be 5"11.5 so whered you get 6"3 from, go watch the movie mooseport, youll realise how wrong his height is
Mr. R said on 6/Sep/05
James, Bill Clinto is usually listed at 6-2 or a half an inch over that. I met him and I can vouch for at least 6-2.
james said on 5/Sep/05
I saw a picture of ray romano and clinton together, and they were eye for eye, but some how Romano is listed at like over 6"3 ( which is laughable) but Id say they are both are the 6"1.5 category. you can Ray aint that tall. Plus all these things about brad garret proving ramanos 6"3, he looks more then 5 inches taller then ray, and brad stoops and hunches big time, plus hes probably over exaggerating his own height, so 6"1 or just over is pretty much on the money
