"If you're in the position to help someone and you do it, it's very rewarding."
~ Tim Robbins
American actor, Tim Robbins is known for his roles in movies such as The Shawshank Redemption, The Player, Short Cuts, and Mystic River, among many others.
Tim Robbins is one of the bigger guys of Hollywood but for some reason, especially if you aren't aware of this fact -- you would never think of him as tall.
Standing by himself he looks like an ordinary man and you would perhaps think that he is around six feet tall or slightly over that. It is only when he is with other people you realize just how big he is.
But Tim is tall -- he belongs to the 6'4"+ tall category of people in the entertainment industry, like Vince Vaughn and Howard Stern.
You must have noticed that in The Shawshank Redemption Tim was towering a 6'2½" Morgan Freeman like nobody else's business.
Now Tim has been listed at 6'5" throughout his career and after taking a careful look at him, we think too that's the best number to describe the height of someone like him.
Nowadays he is even starting to look like Penn Jillette with short hair -- while Penn himself looks very different now.
The height of Tim Robbins is
6'5" or 195 cm
