6'3'? That doesn't seem right.


Anyone know an accurate height? Based on seeing him next to other actors there is no way he is 6'3" unless he has so e amazing slouching skills. I would say 6'1" seems right.

He is definitely 6'3" and a half. On Hemlock Grove he is nearly as tall as the giant Shelley and he towers over most of the other actors.

Have you seen his family? Alexander skars (true blood) is around 6'4 and his father who's pretty popular (pirates of the Caribbean and Thor for more main stream films) is well over 6'. They've got a pretty stilty family so it makes sense. Camera angle are everything.

As of 2010 in the movie simple Simon, Bill was 6'3 and 3/4 (basically 6'4) and 176 pounds.

6'4" seems more accurate. Look at the size of his hands.

His sister, Eija, is the tiny one in the family and she is 5'11"! All the boys are at or near 6'4"!

Incredibly tall, sinewy built, with amazing bone structure!

Girls are generally smaller than boys, it's called sexual dimorphism. It's generally a 6 inch difference so if you're a girl and want to imagine how tall you'd be as a guy, add 6 inches. For the guys it's the opposite, you deduct 6 inches to suppose your female height. So the sister at 5'11" would've been about 6'5" if she was born male, so she is far from tiny.

It's right alright. :)

Speaking of which, although his voice, expressions, look, and overall acting made him a super sinister and perfect Pennywise, his height most certainly added to his threatening presence. To have an otherworldly evil clown of that size running towards you... holy shit!😀
