Jim Broadbent, at a commanding 6ft 1 (185.4 cm), brings a towering presence to his versatile acting career, enhancing his memorable characters across film and television.
His height accentuates the gravitas in dramatic roles like the professor in Iris!, for which he won an Academy Award, and Archmaester Ebrose in Game of Thrones. In musicals like Moulin Rouge! and epics such as Cloud Atlas, Broadbent's stature adds physical depth to his performances. On TV, his lanky 6ft 1 frame brought humor to DCI Gene Hunt's superior in Ashes to Ashes and characters in Only Fools and Horses.
