Sir Ben Kingsley, precisely 5ft 7 ¾ (172.1 cm) tall, is an English actor whose modest stature enhances his commanding screen presence in diverse roles.
His height perfectly suited his Oscar-winning portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi in the 1982 epic Gandhi, capturing the leader's determined essence. In Schindler's List (1993), Kingsley's 172.1 cm frame lent authenticity to the resourceful Itzhak Stern.
From the menacing Don Logan in Sexy Beast (2000) to the villainous Trevor Slattery in Marvel's Iron Man 3 (2013), his height underscores a versatile intensity that belies his size, making him a chameleon in Hollywood.
