The Tallest Actors In Hollywood

Throughout his 40-year career, James Cromwell (pictured here with wife Anna Stuart) has been passed over for parts because of his tall stature. In fact, he’s earned the distinction of being the tallest actor to be nominated for an Oscar. (He was nominated for the 1995 film Babe.)

It must be in the genes! Like his brother, Chris, Liam Hemsworth is above-average in height and even competes with his brother for parts. While he lost out on Thor, he did snag the role of Gale in The Hunger Games movie series.

American audiences know David Hasselhoff best as a TV icon who starred in the series Baywatch and Knight Rider. However, in Germany, Hasselhoff also has the distinction of being a pop music star. He has reportedly released 10 albums in that country.

From M*A*S*H to the Hunger Games movies, actor Donald Sutherland has had a long and successful career in Hollywood. He also has five children, including 24 star Kiefer Sutherland. At 5 feet 9, the younger Sutherland seemed to have inherited his father’s acting talent but not quite his tall build.

As a child, Nicholas Hoult acted opposite Hugh Grant in the 2002 film About a Boy. In more recent years, the actor has appeared in movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and the X-Men franchise. The tall drink of water recently became a father for the first time.
