I seem to remember Amy Acker being taller than me, but it was dark and I was sleepy by that point.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd follow Robert Hewitt Wolfe into (video) Hell, so I'm onboard for the Dresden Files for sure.

When does Dresden Files start? My Tivo's not showing it in the listings.

How tall is Amy Acker?
BTW, ImDB has AD at 6'2", DB at 6'1" and JAR at 6'4" and Amy Acker at 5'8"
that's probably pretty accurate. AD was definitely taller than me, but i'm not sure he was that much taller than me. Amy was about my height and maybe just a wee bit shorter. i'm 5'8''. i never met DB or JAR. i never noticed if JAR looked that much taller than all the other guys on the show.
thanks for the reminder about The Dresden Files, Kalshane. the last time i tried to set it up to record, it was too far in advance for the TiFaux to let me do it.

Apropos of nothing, but AD is smokin' hot in that picture.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Flatmate reminded me of other data-points we can use in the relative height-map: the cast of Gilmore Girls! Jared Padalecki was like 18 during the first season, and eyeball to eyeball with Grandpa Gilmore, who is Edward Herrmann and looks like Sasquatch. (On IMDB he claims to be 6'5".) (Really, it was kind of hilarious, seeing GG-Dean wander around Star's Hollow absolutely towering over all the other highschool students.)
So, is there a universal lie-factor in Hollywood? I would have said no; most of the tall people I know are either matter-of-fact, or else don't even know themselves and tend to underestimate. But, maybe all the short people gang up on the tall people and peer-pressure them to inflate their heights.
Next up: lying about your age! I think that's gotten a lot harder in the past 10-15 years, but some people foolishly, hopefully persist.

I can verify DB's height: I'm a hair under 6' and he's very slightly above eye level to me, about the visual height that my 6'1" dad was when he could stand up straight.

What is even happening?
I'm surprised DB is that tall. I don't doubt it. I just never noticed it. I think I notice height less when a man has a large build. Even when he's really slim, he has that beefy body type.
My favorite set of lies about a performer's age, were those surrounding James Marsters. I saw dates as late as 1972! Dude, there are post-pubescent pictures of you from what is Clearly the 1970s. You were an adult on Northern Exposure in the early 90s. We know, okay?

he totally was. the following year i got close enough to talk directly into his ear because it was so loud in the venue. i think he's better to look at in person than he is on tv. same goes for Mark Lutz.
We know, okay?
ha! i remember people digging up yearbook photos for proof. oh the hair...
