Alessandro Nivola, precisely 5ft 9 (175.3 cm) tall, is an American actor whose average height lends authenticity and versatility to his on-screen personas, allowing him to convincingly portray everyman heroes and complex anti-heroes.
- In Face/Off (1997), his 5ft 9 frame held its own against towering co-stars like Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, enhancing the film's intense physical confrontations.
- His stature brought relatable realism to the adventure chaos of Jurassic Park III (2001), where human vulnerability against dinosaurs was key.
- Nivola's height suited the nuanced indie drama of Junebug (2005) and the tense corporate thriller A Most Violent Year (2014).
- In The Art of Self-Defense (2019), his exact 175.3 cm build amplified the awkward, grounded karate student dynamic.
Born in Boston, he married actress Emily Mortimer in 2003, balancing Hollywood with family life.
