Richard Schiff, precisely 5ft 9 ½ (176.5 cm) tall, is an American actor whose commanding stature enhances his intense screen presence.
Best known for portraying the sharp-tongued Toby Ziegler, White House Communications Director on The West Wing, Schiff's height allows him to hold his own in high-stakes political scenes opposite taller co-stars like Martin Sheen.
His 5ft 9 ½ frame suits the role's intellectual gravitas, contributing to the character's authoritative image. Schiff also made his directorial debut on the series with the episode "Talking Points."
