He wasn't when he was on Night Court!! Look how short he is next to Dan!
evil_illustrator@reddit
the others are short. Brent Spiner is only 5'11
missmarypoppinoff@reddit
Yeah - all of Hollywood is incredibly short. I’m 5’11” myself and remember towering over like 95% of all the actors and musicians I met when I used to work awards shows. It was very eye opening. Anytime you see an actor that appears insanely tall they are usually only like 6’3” (which is just barely tall enough in my tall opinion 😜)
pm_me_d_cups@reddit
I believe it's because it works better on screen to have actors who are roughly similar heights, including men and women. So you get slightly taller than average women and shorter than average men.
Yitram@reddit
Either that, or you have to do interesting things with framing. For example, in the BTTF movies, they'd have Christopher Lloyd (6'1") stand further from the camera than Michael J Fox (5'4") so that they'd both be more even in the scene. Lloyd also affected a hunched posture to help.

They fired the original Jennifer (Melora Hardin, Jan from The Office) when Michael J. Fox replaced Eric Stoltz since Melora was taller than Michael.

It makes Marty b3ing a teenager more believable (sorry, Mike).
billyhtchcoc@reddit
The Scullybox/Gillyboard is very much a real thing!
SportTop2610@reddit
Can you imagine the set of night court I'd Teo od them were average heights.
ENZYME_O1@reddit
Right. Most of those older Hollywood actors are short. Not sure how that translates on the small screen, but it’s rare to see Briner’s height on the big screen.
GoWashWiz78Champions@reddit
Michael Dorn is 6’3, almost four inches taller than spiner. He’s standing on a curb in this pic.
SportTop2610@reddit
I second thr standing on a curb... he's holding in to Patrick for dear life!!!!
MovieFan1984@reddit
It would explain why Dorn is laughing.
TokenToyHunter@reddit
I don’t really buy that Michael Dorn is 6’3. I’m 6’1 and I saw him in a mall a few years ago and he didn’t even look the same height as me, let alone taller.
djnerdyd@reddit
I mean he's also old, and you do shrink with age?
kylathekoala@reddit
He could have cowboy boots on.
rdaneeloliv4w@reddit
Great pictures.
Marina’s husband (also named Michael) was a cool dude. I met and talked with him a few times because he knew a close member of my family.
kkkan2020@reddit (OP)
Did they ever say what he passed away from?
MovieFan1984@reddit
I didn't know she was a widow. :'(
kkkan2020@reddit (OP)
Yeah it was sudden her husband died in his sleep just like that couple of years ago. She's even older than the husband by like 3 years
MovieFan1984@reddit
Marina is such a joyful lady, I wish she hadn't had to lose him. :'(
kkkan2020@reddit (OP)
i had to look it up again her husband has been gone for 6 years already O_O time flies.
MovieFan1984@reddit
When Troi was upset over the idea of losing Riker in PIC S3, I wonder how much of that was Marina?
kkkan2020@reddit (OP)
im betting that it's really more marina than troi a complaint of the treks involving tng actors from star trek nemesis and onward is it seems like the actors are injecting more of themselves into their characters.
MovieFan1984@reddit
I just mean her tears in the finale, they seemed awfully authentic.
rdaneeloliv4w@reddit
Heart attack I believe. Not 100% sure.
SuperNoise5209@reddit
Wow the hair on those two!
kathakana@reddit
Brent Spiner says he's 6 foot. I think Michael Dorn is about 6'4''. He may have been leaning in towards the camera or Michael Dorn might not have been standing up straight.
Space-Bum-@reddit
Michael Dorn and Tom Selleck are brothers from another mother.
lucstrk@reddit
It really is about the photographer perspectice. If you check the photos from the same event you can see Michael Dorn really stands out. Like this one.
Iamnotarobotlah@reddit
Michael Dorn as Michael Dorn is weird to me, because as a kid I always thought Worf is Worf. It never occurred to me that he's an actor. To this day, seeing him without makeup confuses me.
SoybeanArson@reddit
I love that in the last pic Levar is wearing sunglasses that make it look like he really is blind like Geordi. Method acting? 😂
ENZYME_O1@reddit
He looks tall on screen. I assumed that’s his actual height.
SpiritOne@reddit
This was literally today, for reference, I’m 5’9”
kkkan2020@reddit (OP)
nice goatee
k00pa_tr00pa_@reddit
Where is Jonathan?
BuffaloJEREMY@reddit
Hitting on bridesmaids.
Saint_Stephen420@reddit
Directing the wedding
ernster96@reddit
Frakes and Dorn are much taller than everybody else.
TulsaOUfan@reddit
He was a small forward at Univ of Houston.
(I'll claim it until you can disprove it. 😆😜
pookiesma@reddit
Him, Frakes, Dorn and DeLancie are all tall boys. And it's fun to see them in shots with Sir Pat.
Random-Human-1138@reddit
It's so weird to see Brent Spiner smiling, and with glasses!
EM05L1C3@reddit
I didn’t expect him to be taller than Michael Dorn
GoWashWiz78Champions@reddit
He’s not. Dorn is 6’3 vs Spiner’s 5’11. He’s standing on a curb or something.
EM05L1C3@reddit
Ok thank you I was confused.
GoWashWiz78Champions@reddit
Ya it’s pretty clear in basically any other picture of them, or the show:
EM05L1C3@reddit
🤷♀️ I dont spend much of my time memorizing people’s height.
Longjumping-Top-488@reddit
They're all so young!
cutearmy@reddit
I had to look up was he really that short or is Jonathon Frakes freakishly tall? Frakes is freakishly tall
Informal_Scallion_44@reddit
Jonathan Frakes is 6’3”, which is in the realm of tall, but not “freakishly tall”.
MDATWORK73@reddit
I noticed that when I saw him on Night court episodes.
Hole_Milk_222@reddit
i need him
l33774rd@reddit
Let's see Frakes do the Riker maneuver over him.

Familiar-Complex-697@reddit
what are they feeding that mf
Starch-Wreck@reddit
Yes. And his arms are insanely long. Look at days when he walks. His hands almost hit his knees.
Ash-Housewares@reddit
Were they doing the RDJ box thing with LeVar before it was cool?
X-1701@reddit
It's called an "apple", and Hollywood has been doing it for at least a century.
chrisll25@reddit
Just a good angle in the first image.
trer24@reddit
So is Michael
