Christoph Waltz, precisely 5ft 7 ¼ (170.8 cm) tall, commands the screen with a presence that belies his stature, making his height a key asset in portraying intense, authoritative characters.
Born in Vienna, this Austrian-German actor first gained global acclaim for his Oscar-winning role as the menacing Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds (2009), where his 170.8 cm frame amplified the character's chilling precision and control.
His height enhances his versatility, shining in the charismatic Dr. King Schultz in Django Unchained (2012)—another Best Supporting Actor Oscar—and as the sinister Blofeld in Spectre (2015), proving that at 5ft 7, he dominates Hollywood blockbusters.
