@QM crazy how he looks nearly 5ft11 with rob with apparently no footwear advantage, yet looks around 5ft9 with 6ft1 mark gatiss, who has also posed with rob previously.

I liked Rupert in the Inspector Morse episode ‘Happy Families’. He looked really quite tall next to Jamie Foreman.
5ft10.75, though he might be a touch more.

Fair listing based on the photo. Somewhere between 178-179. Could be about 179 cm at lunchtime.

Amazingly, 'Happy Families' is actually showing today on ITV3 at 11.40am and then an hour later, you can catch it on ITV3+1.
There are many opportunities to compare Rupert's height to various actors of differing heights.

I remember Rupert Graves playing the annoying, intrusive reporter in the Inspector Morse episode 'Happy Families'. He looked quite tall, especially next to Jamie Foreman.

P.S. Rob you've also said that in person Cumberbatch only looked like a 5'11-5'11.5 guy rather than the weak 6'0 that you currently have him listed at.

Editor RobYes he's on 5ft 11.5, but can at times seem not that much over 5ft 11...but I've stuck with the 11.5 because generally I think he's going to measure near it.
179cm guy said on 4/Feb/19
Rob, if it was a toss-up between options A) Graves measuring at a flat 179cm in the evening or B) Cumberbatch measuring at a flat 181 cm in the evening which one would you go with? You've said in the past that when they were standing side by side that there didn't seem to be more than an inch between them and that you'd give Graves a better chance of being 179cm rather than 178cm. Even though he only looks 5'10 in this picture with Gatiss ( Click Here ) it's quite common for 5'10.5 guys to only look 5'10 next to guys that are well over the 6'0 mark ( Click Here ). Rupert looks well within a fraction of Jonathan Aris, as a matter of fact, most of the time I can't see any difference in between their heights on the show, and I think that Graves can easily hit 5'11 in regular footwear with his hair gelled up. Graves might have also lost a fraction now in his mid-fifties. What do you think Rob, if you had to choose between the two options because I think that either Graves has to be upgraded or Cumberbatch downgraded respectively.

Editor Rob5ft 10.5 could have been believable. In person he looks the same range as guys like big josh, who you could argue at times is 5ft 10 3/8th too.

Looks very similar compared to Casper Van Dien,except that Casper had 1"advantage with Rob,perfect listing.I wonder if the dude hasn't measured himself to come with the 7/8"claim,sounds like a morning height,though.

@Editor Rob,
Why the Downgrade?
I thought you said that he wasnt as low as 178? personally, i thought he wasnt far of the 5'11" mark.
Although you did say Ben looked an easy inch on him at times, so if Ben is 181-182 range then Rupert would b 178-179 technically?
Then i guess he must have claim 180 from his morning and probably drops to 178 solid at night, Am i right?

Editor Rob I think he looked a good 2 inches over andrew scott, a more solid 5ft 10 than Mike Tyson in person, but about 2-2.5 inches shorter in person than 5ft 11 Todd Lowe.

1/4" and 1/2" aren't too difficult to spot if the height is within reasonable distance of your own, which is why it can get tricky guessing someones height to the nearest 1/4"-1/2" if they are that much taller than Rob. This guy is close enough to Rob that I can work out and say he could be nearer 5'10. If he is nearer 5'11 then at least the above quote makes more sense because the "and seven eighths" is pretty specific, even if he did measure that height earlier in the day which is possible.

Rob is 5'10.25 the lowest you could argue ? He is 5'11 with his hair now that you added the height chart, and looks a bit over 5'10

Editor Rob 180cm just covers that 5ft 10.75 or 11 range, but if I think someone is a weak 5ft 11 they'd get listed 10.75

I honestly doubt you can spot 1/8 inches just looking at a person and say, in this case, "he can't be 5'10 and 7/8, i think he's more like 5'10.75"! I really do believe even 1/4 inches are hard to spot at times, let alone 1/8!!!
I'm totally basing my estimate on this picture... I have no idea who this guy is!
What i see is two good inches at most, which would make him around 179! What you've seen in person, as always, might be another deal!

Editor Rob on the show he did, but his posture varied I think, at times he did stand taller and looked closer to 5ft 11 than say 5ft 10-10.5 range.
In person that day there really didn't seem more than a inch between them...and that's before considering me/rupert were wearing a bit less footwear than benedict.

I think upon meeting him and getting a photo Rob had to decide on either 5ft 11 or 5ft 10.75 instead of 5ft 10.875. This listing makes sense for him since it doesn't look quite a 3 inch difference.

He looks 5'10.5 in the pic, so I guess that's why Rob gave him 5'10 3/4. He obviously got measured 5'10 7/8 earlier in the day so 5'10 3/4 is the max he can be in the afternoon.

After his 5' 10.875" response, when the interviewer notes the preciseness of his response Graves does day "Maybe I'm five eleven.....". Solid 180 cm either way I guess.

I don't believe that. In Ashes To Ashes, when he stood next to Keeley Hawes who was in two/three inch heels, she towered over him. I'd say about 5'8ish.
