Hollywood's premium actor, Benedict Cumberbatch is known for starring in movies such as Star Trek Into Darkness, 12 Years a Slave, The Imitation Game, etc. He is also known for playing the role of Doctor Strange in Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.
Benedict Cumberbatch seems to have a good height -- he is not too short and not too tall -- though he surely looks kind of "tallish" on the screen. IMDb lists his height at exactly at 6-feet.
From what we have seen of him, especially with the likes of Martin Freeman (5'6½"), Michael Fassbender (5'10½"), Chris Pine (6'½"), etc, we think that Mr. Cumberbatch might just be a bit shorter than his IMDb listing.

5'11½" or 182 cm
