Barry Pepper, precisely 5ft 9 ½ (176.5 cm) tall, is a Canadian actor whose stature lends an authentic, everyman intensity to his diverse roles, from battle-hardened soldiers to historical figures.
His height perfectly suited the realistic portrayal of sniper Daniel Jackson in Saving Private Ryan, adding grounded presence amid towering co-stars like Tom Hanks. Pepper's commanding 176.5 cm frame shone as Dean Stanton in The Green Mile, the steadfast deputy Lucky Ned Pepper in True Grit, and the alien antagonist Terl in Battlefield Earth.
Earning a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor as Robert F. Kennedy in The Kennedys, Pepper's height enhances his versatility, seen also in the survival thriller Crawl.
