Eric Close, precisely 5ft 10 ½ (179.1 cm) tall, commands a strong on-screen presence that enhances his portrayals of authoritative figures in television.
Best known for his role as FBI agent Martin Fitzgerald in the CBS drama Without a Trace (2002–2009), Close's exact height lent him the ideal stature for intense investigative scenes, making his character both approachable and imposing.
His 179.1 cm frame also suited the role of ambitious politician Teddy Conrad in ABC's Nashville (2012–2017), where he evolved from husband to mayor, his height underscoring a sense of gravitas.
Earlier, in Dark Skies as John Loengard, his 5ft 10 build amplified the everyday hero vibe in sci-fi intrigue.
