The films that hit the theaters and eventually make their way into your home are packed with cool effects and actors who inspire us. Their presence on the screen is intended to be larger than life, but some are larger than life not only because of their acting abilities, but also because they are just tall! Their height gives them a stature that fills the screen. Who are the tallest actresses and actors in Hollywood? We have gathered a list of 40 of the tallest actors in Hollywood to answer that question.

Tom Selleck – 6’4”

Tom Selleck's height came in handy well before he donned the Hawaiian shirt and solved crimes as Magnum P.I. He started using his significant 6'4" frame in college while playing basketball.

Once he hit Hollywood, his dominant presence, accentuated by his height, thrust him into the action hero role. It wasn't until later that he was able to show he was more than his height when he began doing comedies alongside action films.

Nicole Kidman – 5’11”

This redheaded beauty made her mark in Hollywood with her 1992 film, Far and Away, in which she starred alongside then-husband Tom Cruise. From there, she moved on to many other films, including such classics as Practical Magic, Moulin Rouge, and Cold Mountain.

While building her career, her height and model-like beauty definitely opened some doors. But it was certainly her talent that sealed the deal.

Jason Momoa – 6’4”

Whether you started following Jason Momoa's career in Stargate: Atlantis or in Game of Thrones, you probably have been struck by his overall look. The actor is a giant man, and this is important, as he became more of an action hero and even stepped into a superhero costume.

His height is most obvious when he is photographed with his wife, Lisa Bonet, as she is just a few inches over 5' tall - a normal height for a woman, but tiny in comparison to her husband!

Sacha Baron Cohen – 6’3”

This British comedic actor has had some fame with playing outlandish characters. From Bruno to Borat, he is one of the bright stars in the comedy world at the moment. He has also had some success in Hollywood in the love department.

He is married to the very well-known actress, Isla Fisher. Like many of the other gentlemen, his height is very evident when they take photos on the red carpet, as Isla is just 5'3" and Sacha is 6'3".
