'The Message'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Denisof is also much taller than I expected - If his claimed 6'1" isn't accurate he can't be fudging by more than an inch - his eyes were at least level with mine.
As opposed to Christian Kane, who looked me right in the chin with the aid of some impressively-heeled cowboy boots. 5'9" my ass!
A friend was posting yesterday about this scandinavian fellow who is on Game of Thrones and just won some 'strongest man' competition. He's listed at 6'9" and 415 pounds, and my goodness that is a large human being. Ah, here he is: Hafthor Bjornsson: [link]
Nordics always win Strongest Man competitions.

He was up on a stage and seated most of the time, so it was hard for me to tell (his hair! SO AMAZING!). Sadly for Joss, he was next to Denisof, and wow. Contrast.
Entirely non-actor-related, but amusing since flea is here: my brother is 6'2", and I view him as an Ent-like beast. Until last summer, when he was standing next to flea's husband (who is, I think, 2 or 3 inches taller than 6'2"). That is literally the only time my brother has looked short as an adult.
mr. flea is 6'6". He's pretty giant. Unless he stood next to Hafthor Bjornsson, in which case he would look like a tiny little man. (Bjornsson is only 3 inches taller, but weighs TWICE AS MUCH and it's not fat.)
I still feel like I should apologize to the whole family flea about the 7' ceiling in our converted attic/tv room. Since we're 5'3" and 5'7", it never really occurred to us when we bought the house that our tall friends would spend all of our parties flinching like the sky was about to come crashing down on their heads.
Anyone complains, amych, just start calling them Chicken Little.
The only actor I've been up close and personal to (even got to kiss him) is Bradley Whitfield, because he went to high school with me. And that was well before he was famous.
My gf's best-friend's fiance is 6'6" and he is one of the rare people I know that makes my 6'2" self feel short. Anytime I encounter someone bigger than me I end up doing a sort of uncomfortable double-take because I'm not used to it. I imagine encountering Mr. Bjornsson would be incredibly intimidating.
In the famous people who are even more attractive in real life category: Gerard Way. This is not just my swooning crush talking. He's astonishingly pretty.
