22 Tall Actors From Hollywood
by This article is a list of 22 Hollywoood actors who are both successful and well, tall.
It is like a sequel to my Tall Girls Dating article but it can be read and enjoyed separately as well. And yeah, it is for laughs.
I previously published a fun article on the difficulties of being a tall girl dating. I talked about how tall actresses like Nicole Kidman and Uma Thurman had a hard time being cast with actors who actually tower over them. Sure, this is not everyone’s problem. But if the slightest heels help you get over 6 feet and you are particularly attracted to men taller than you, this problem will ring a bell.
Funny, but Hollywood doesn’t have that many tall actors. 90s heartthrobs like Antonio Banderas and Mel Gibson are not even 6 feet. Younger generation actors Orlando Bloom is just 5′ 10½” and James McAvoy is only 5′ 7″ (1.70 m), which is only as tall as Tom Cruise. So below are Hollywood’s tall(er) actors. The shortest starts at 6′ 1¼” (1.86 m) and the tallest stands at 6′ 5″ (1.96 m). Here we go:
1. Keanu Reeves- 6′ 1¼” (1.86 m)
Favorite Reeves: A Walk in the Clouds, The Watcher, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, The Replacements, The Devil’s Advocate, Street Kings, The Lake House, Somethings got to give, Speed and Point Break.
If you like Keanu, you might also want to read:

A very interesting piece. A lot of these actors are new to me, but I really like Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth.

Nice but you missed Chewbacca and Darth Vader. Brad Pitt too.

@ Sharif: Seriously? You are throwing Darth Vader at me?:)
According to IMDB, Brad Pitt is 1.80, so hardly tall.:)

Oy, no Conan O’Brien? He’s 6′4″ (isn’t it bad I know that off the top of my head?!) Ha, well maybe you were only using movie stars, but when someone says “tall guys in Hollywood” his name is the first one that pops into my head.

Well I am loving your posts! And I am madly, completely, utterly in love with Conan O’Brien.
I think he’s madly attractive. But please don’t have a heart attack!! It’s probably just because he’s hilarious. I like the funny guys. hahaha

Hi… all great guys listed and I thought I’d add one more…. Kevin Sorbo Hercules and the Legendary Journeys & Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda & just recently What If… & Soul Surfer to name only 4 of his MANY works… is 6′3 3/4″ many times he’s been passed over for supporting roles because the “BIG” name actor such a Stallone is under 6′ and he would be taller than them… he’s said it in interviews many times….
