Height discrepancy?


When Lacy & Vic were dancing as well as in other scenes next to each other, he looked to be about almost a foot taller than her (and she was in heels in all scenes with him). Looking at their bio info here, Maggie Lawson is shown as being 5'-8" and Victor Webster as 6'-3". This would make her around 5'11" in heels. What gives?

If his listed height is correct, that would make her 5'-2" to 5'-4". If hers is correct, this would make him 6'-6"+.

Lacy & Tony (Mark Consuelos) look to be about the same height with her in heels. He is listed as 5'-9", so her true height must be more like 5'-5" or under.

Yeah, I came to look at Maggie LAwson's height. There is no way she's 5'8". And she wasn't just wearing 3in heels. They were 4-5 inches easy. Some were platforms. And she does look about the same height as Mark Consuelos, maybe an inch or so shorter. It's said that actors lie about their height about 2 inches. That would put Mark at around 5'7. I doubt they had her wearing heels in the scenes with him. So, she's likely 5'5"-ish.

I can't imagine they made her wear flats in scenes with Vic Webster. She was barely in frame as it was.

Can anyone tell me who played Beau in this movie?

Thanks GaelinW. You should be on the CSI:IMDB team!

After I posted I saw the Lacy's girlfriend (the actress is listed as being 5'-7") was wearing flat soled/minimal heeled boots and was about the same height as Lacy in her heels.

Thank you. I came here for the same reason, really to figure out how tall Vic was. I just watched Hostile Makeover, and there are several scenes where Lacy and Vic are walking and she's in bare feet, and she's so tiny standing next to him. When I saw IMDB listed her height as 5'8", my first thought is Vic must be a really really tall man. Then, it show's on IMDB that he's 6'3". That I can believe, because in scenes with other actors, he appears just a bit taller than most people. She has to be shorter than 5'4".

The last time I had that reaction to a height difference was watching Hugh Jackman in the movie, "Someone Like You", with Ashley Judd. He's 6'2 1/2", but Ashley Judd is supposedly 5'7". Not a chance is she that tall.

It doesn't really matter. Heels can make anyone tall, but I can't imagine working all day on your toes.

I know this post was last year, but it looks like they fixed it to 5'6, which should be about right. I watch her on Psych and she is usually about the same height as Shawn(James Roday) and he's pretty short, but that is also with heels on. She doesn't usually wear very high heels on psych because she is a cop and probably because James Roday is so short. My guess is that she is about 5'4-5'5 like someone else said.

heigh can be devious...

this life guard (he was only there during the summer) at the pool that i go to swore up and down that he was like 6.6 and me and this other life guard were no way......then he stood nest to this other man that clearly looks like he's that height..and guess what the life guard (the swimmer was wearing flip flops, but that doesnt' matter) and the life guard was just a smigen taller then the swimmer....so although the older guy looks clearly 6.6...and the life guard doesen't..the life guard is just a shade taller......

so even in real life you can't judge how tall a person really is....it's definately decieving
