What is Richard Armitage's Height?

Richard Armitage, a commanding 6ft 2 ½ (189.2 cm) tall British actor, is best known for portraying the dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy. His impressive height made casting him as a dwarf particularly striking, requiring lifts in his shoes to amplify his already towering presence on set.

Accustomed to being the tallest person on set—a source of great pride—Armitage brought physical intensity to roles in TV series like Spooks and Robin Hood, as well as films such as Into the Storm. His stature enhanced his authoritative image, even as a 'dwarf' among co-stars.
