@Rob

Yes definitely a weak 6'2 makes more sense

If you look at this All in the Family compilation:

Click Here

At 1:16 -1:30 Christopher Guest and Rob Reiner
Looks about 2.5 inches range

Also at 5:46 he is face to face with O'Connor
Both standing pretty straight so a good one to judge O'Connor vs Reiner
Can see the 3 inches there

Also Michael Conrad looks about 4.5 taller (closer to camera so has advantage over Reiner) and he was 6'5.5-6'6 zone
At 8:53 and 9:00 mins has a good shot showing it

So Reiner could have been 6'1.5 -6'1.75
Hard to tell as he's a guy who got heavy in late 1970s early 80s may have lost 1/4 in his forties
He's in some stuff in the 1960s where he would have been peak for sure and probably at full height measured almost 6'2
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Jun/25
I agree with this. Rob was the same zone as his father - both peak anywhere from 6ft1½ to 6ft2 can be argued……
avi said on 15/Jun/25
@Robbe
Yes that is the episode where Reiner looking 5 inches shorter
Some scenes can look 4.5

So to your point no way a full 6'2
this means he should have been 6'1.5 peak probably



@Rob
Do you think he is a candidate for a downgrade to 6'1.5 ?
It's hard with his slouching on All in family but there are scenes he stands quite normal and never appears more than 3 inches taller than O'Connor

Just can't imagine 6'2
6'1.5
6'1.75 I guess possible but also not convinced...

A lot of posters here seem to think 6'1-6'1.5
Editor Rob
The same height as his Father at peak? I don't think he was as short as 6ft 1, but almost 6ft 2 might fit.
Robbe said on 10/Jun/25
Looks 6'1 with Michael Conrad Click Here

No way Rob was 6'2 peak.
avi said on 8/Jun/25
Looking more at All in the Family again see that O'Connor is no more than 3 inches shorter than Reiner
So I don't see how Reiner can be 6'2
6'1.5 seems more likely
This is quite evident with other guest actors on the show
Example Michael Conrad was about 4.5-5 inches taller
And he was 6'6 zone

But O'Conner at 5'10.5 at worst 5'10.25 was appearing 2-3 in inches shorter
Reiner stopped a bit so not best posture but even with that being said O'Connor is comfortably above Reiner's eyebrows
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/May/25
Rob, I think Carl Reiner should be added……


I would certainly go above 6ft1 for him at his peak. He was comfortably taller than Van Dyke. I suppose 6ft2 can’t be ruled out. 6ft3 is too far. Possibly the same as his son peak…..
Editor Rob
Yeah he is long overdue a page.
Paul NS (6ft 0.5) said on 17/May/25
Carl Reiner described himself as "six two" in his book My Anecdotal Life: Click Here

If you look up the Professor sketches from Your Show of Shows, which were usually him and Sid Caesar standing side-by-side, he does usually look 2in taller or so, so yeah, 6ft 3 in shoes I can easily believe.
Editor Rob
That's a more believable claim, he might have a chance of 6ft 2 barefoot.
Com said on 15/May/25
Rob, can you add his father Carl Reiner?

He is listed as 187 cm

Looks solid 6ft 2. He was also in the Oceans movie series with George Clooney, but he was in his 80s by then. Also, he looks way shorter than his son Rob. Click Here
Editor Rob
On Dick Van Dyke Show, he could look anywhere in 6ft 1-2 zone. He did once claim 6ft 3, which is for sure not a barefoot height.
chuck darby said on 12/Nov/22
rob reiner was never 6'2.6'1.5 at the most
Jesica said on 12/Oct/22
James said on 19/Feb/17
He's 5'11" now. Not sure if he was more than 6'1" at his peak.

I just watched an episode of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C..."Gomer, The Recruiter"
and Reiner was in it. He was right next to 6'0 Jim Nabors and appears the same height.
The episode was from 1967 when Reiner was about 20 years old. Nabors
stated on several episodes that he was 6'0 tall. Although, I have seen him listed at 6'0-6'1.
Either way, Reiner was not over 6'1.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Apr/22
Rob, could Carl Reiner get a page?
avi said on 29/Aug/21
@Rob

Is there a reason Carroll O'Connor is t on here ? He's a popular actor for Heat of the night tv series and star of All in tbe Family where Rob Reiner became famous

Listed 5'11 but is probably 5'10.25 or 5'10.5 at most
Appeared about 3 to 3.25 inches smaller than Reiner
Editor Rob
I can rectify that omission right now!

🎬🎈🎁🎂 Happy Birthday Rob! 🎂🎁🎈🎬

Many Happy Returns to Rob Reiner on his 74th Birthday! I see Rob directed Stephen King's 'Misery', which I saw at the pictures, and a fine job he made of it too! 👏😄👌 X

6ft2 peak and 6ft0.75 today. 🎊😉🍻 X

Then James garner was 6’0 range peak
Jug said on 5/Jan/21
Never more than 6'1. He had terrible posture but looked about 6'1 next to 5'10 Carroll O'Connor. His father was a little taller at 6'2.

Rob, would you take a look and consider a listing? I think he could look near enough to 6'2".
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Jul/20
Rob, could you add Carl Reiner?




He just passed away. I think 6ft2 for him aswell
Tall Sam said on 30/Jun/20
Surprising that the just passed Carl Reiner doesn't have a page. A hugely influential comic visionary and a real mensch by all accounts. In youth, Carl looked always a tall guy, probably similar height to his son Rob and could give a taller impression due to a longer neck and slightly more slender frame. I think Carl looked around 2-3 inches taller than Steve Martin and maybe 10 inches over Mel Brooks when not slumping back in the early days.
Yas said on 8/Apr/20
The taller guy is Michael Conrad. Listed at 6'5.5

Rob Reiner looked much taller than 6’1” standing next to the rest of the cast of ‘All In The Family.’
oRiOn said on 22/Oct/18
Looked 3" taller than legit 5'10 Carroll O'Connor.
Can't see him taller than 6'1 peak.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Apr/18
Weak 6ft1 today is possible I guess
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Feb/18
Rob, could you add Carl Reiner?
electricblue said on 24/Jan/18
yes you really should add his dad Carl someday, he was definitely 6 1 at least. on the dick van dyke show he was clearly taller than van dyke. at 56 you can see him with rob here Click Here and he does look about 6 1 and as i mentioned he's 56 in that clip so not too far off peak although may have lost a fraction by then. these days though he's lost a lot of height which is understandable as he's 95 Click Here here he looks a bit shorter than cary elwes who is 5 11 although obviously a 95 year old isn't going to stand great. still i think 6 1 peak and weaker 5 11 range is a good listing for him, after all he has not retired yet and i do think a bit over 2 inch of heightloss by almost 100 is usual.

@Jani said on 7/Sep/17
Factor in times he isn't slouching he still not seem 6'2 , strong 6'1 maybe 6'1.5.
O'Connor must have been 5'10 area and difference was 2.5-3 inches between them
Jani said on 7/Sep/17
All in the Family he looked a bit shorter than 188cm like around 185cm which I think is due to his slouching. I definitely think that he was 188cm if standing completely straight.
avi said on 15/Jul/17
In an All in the family episode Robert Mandan who is around 6'0.5 maybe strong 6'0 (in three's a crowd he was maybe an inch taller than 5'11ish John Ritter) look on par with Reiner. So I'd say Reiner is 6'1
John said on 2/Jun/17
6'2 flat. Looks it
James said on 19/Feb/17
He's 5'11" now. Not sure if he was more than 6'1" at his peak.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Dec/16

I think near 6ft2 for him aswell peak
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Jul/16
He looks like he's lost at least 2in from his peak
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/May/16
I can agree with that. He was taller than Dick Van Dyke.


Rob, could you add him?
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/May/16
Rob, do you have any guesses for Carl Reiner at peak?
Editor Rob
6ft 1-2, been described as both - funnily I just read his mother was 5ft 2 and father 5ft 3.
Mike said on 21/Feb/16
I say that Rob Reiner is 6'2. Carroll O'Connor was 5'11. Rob Reiner was about 3'' taller than Carroll O'Connor. Carroll O'Connor was on an episode of East Side West Side with George C Scott. He looked about 1'' shorter than George C Scott who was about 6'' tall.
Gabriel said on 18/Nov/15
Met him and spoke with him for about 10 min. I would say he is 6-1.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Oct/14
Rob, could 186-187cm be closer now?
Mr. R said on 16/Sep/14
Definitely 6-2 when I saw him last year at Wolf of Wall Street screening.
Dmeyer said on 15/Sep/14
He was 6'2 when i met him
dietmar said on 14/Sep/14
Meathead was never 188cm, he was moore like a 185-186cm. Michael Conrad was a strong 197cm, and i can see 11-12cm difference there.

Click Here

Carrol O'Connor was around 178-179cm.

Click Here

The difference between Michael and Rob is noticeable bigger than the differece between Rob and Carroll.
avi said on 7/Jun/14
Never the full 6'2. Very strong 6'1 approaching 6'1.5 area, O'Connor was a strong 5'10 and there can be 2-3.25 difference depending on if they are standing straight. No way there was more than strong 3 between them . I'd say 5'10.25 for O'Connor and 6'1.25 for Reiner.
Lebensdorf said on 7/Mar/14
On All in the Family, he had the worst posture I've ever seen. His back was always curved to an absurd extent. I think Carroll O'Conner may have been about 5'10, so 6'1 is possible for Reiner, maybe a little more.
cole said on 2/Mar/14
Seems 6'1 or so as of 2013/2014.
Somebody said on 18/Dec/13
How can he be 6'2"?
Compare him to Jerry O'Connell, who is 6'2" as well. There is a significant height difference.

Sam said on 6/Nov/13
He probably shrank a little bit with weight before age caught up to him. Anyway, today he looks pretty close to his close friend, Christopher Guest, in height and Guest is a bit under six feet at peak.

avi said on 1/Jul/13
Oh boy. Had 3 inches on O'Connor as ive said before a strong 6'1 guy.
blessed said on 31/May/11
Met him and fam at "Flipped" premiere in 2010. Guy's at least 6' 2' if not more. Sweet guy! He was all smiles and laughs and he practically let me hug him. His wife and kids are sweethearts, too.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/May/11
6ft1.25(186cm) now maybe or 6ft1.5 tops...he was 6ft2 when he was younger
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/May/11
Yeah this guy looks a little under 6"2 now
Anonymous said on 14/Dec/10
There is no way he is 4 inches taller than Carrol O'Connor!!!! He was 3 max. when he was slouched it was like 2inches max. he guy is 6'1 or a hair over. not 6'2. he is probably a tad under 6'1 now but never a solid 6'2. if he was then O'Connor was almost 6 foot.
Mr. R said on 2/Nov/10
I saw Rob tonight at Marty Short's show and he is now 6-1.
Marcus said on 27/Jun/09
On All in the Family he was only 2.5 inches taller than the 5'10 Carroll O'Connor. Since he is now in his sixties he has obviously shrunk. An accurate guess is that Reiner is an even 5'11.5" today.

ROB

Your were right about Him Being with Letterman. Here it is
Click Here

They say in the article that Reiner and Letterman stoud back to back and they were the same, read on.
Jordan said on 24/Dec/08
Rob do you find it strange that Guys like Reiner and Ledger have some bios listing tham both at 5'10, yet they are actually must taller. How does that happen ? I found one that listed ledger at 5'10, thats really crazy, no ?

Editor Rob
if a.n.other website has a user submitting a height and the person approving a change doesn't really care about height or know about the height then a few dodgy heights might be out there.

then other websites - who have no interest in height either - copy the data from a.n. other and you end up with a lot of websites listing the dodgy height.
Jordan said on 20/Dec/08
ALot of Bios have him listed at 5'10, which is crazy. Always thought he was at least 6'1.

Definetly Taller than Morgan Freeman.
Mr. R said on 8/Aug/08
Rob has lost an inch or so. I saw him at Carroll O'Connor's funeral. Probably 6-1 now.
thekiddd said on 23/Apr/08
He never striked me as a tall person. He look about 4-5 inches taller than Billy Crystal in Throw Your Mama Off The Train.
S.J said on 30/Apr/07
But he's like the same height as Christopher guest who is like 5,11 or something
Jordan said on 23/Mar/07
Good call cris, but Curtis is most likley in heels since she is dreesed up. So maybe add 2.5 inches to reiner there.
Chris said on 28/Feb/07

Looks about 3" taller than Jamie Lee Curtis to me.

Meathead towered over the Bunkers, Gloria looks like a little girl to him. He looks 6'3 to me.
Bowes/McDougall said on 15/Mar/06
If O'Connor was less than 5'10 than there is no way Reiner is anything close to 6'2. All in the family is a good judgement tool because there are so many scenes where O'Connor and Reiner are standing up and in each other's face. In my judgement, 2 inches is the maximum difference. So if O'Connor was say 5'9.5 then Renier at a max is 5'11.5. I find both those heights hard to believe because they do seem taller than that....
Frank2 said on 11/Mar/06
Carrol O'Connor was 5'10" or just slightly under. I saw him a couple of times at the Emmys and stood right next to him. Rob "meathead" Reiner is quite tall. Well-over six feet. His dad Carl was 6'2" when he was young.
dmeyer said on 8/Dec/05
hey rob i was an extra on a rob rainer movie he looked aleast 6'2" more like 189 cm
sam said on 2/Dec/05
I never got the impression that he was as tall as 6'2". I would have guessed around 6' feet. He does look taller to me than Brad Pitt in that one photo that Chris posted.
Chris said on 2/Dec/05
Rob Reiner is listed as 5'10'', but look at this two pic:

Beside Brad it is hard to say, beside 6'1
