Niall Matter stands at an authoritative 5ft 11 ½ (181.6 cm), a height that accentuated his lanky, athletic build as he transformed from a 161-pound frame to a powerful 190 pounds, perfectly suiting his action-oriented sci-fi roles.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, of Irish and Russian descent and raised on a dairy farm, Matter recovered from a serious oil rig accident to pursue acting full-time. His towering 5ft 11 ½ stature enhanced his portrayal of the brilliant inventor Zane Donovan in SyFy's Eureka and the fearless leader Evan Cross in Primeval: New World, making him a standout in genre television.
