"You take away all the other luxuries in life, and if you can make someone smile and laugh, you have given the most special gift: happiness."
~ Brad Garrett
American actor and stand-up comedian, Brad Garrett is known for many things -- his height is certainly one of those things.
For some reason, when standing by himself, Brad Garrett doesn't give the impression of being so tall. It is only when he is standing with other people do you realize just how big he is.
Brad Garrett is so big that he makes a 6-feet-5 inches tall Charles Barkley look short, and a 6'4" tall Conan O'Brien small, and a 5'10" Matt Damon practically a midget.
You can find Brad Garrett's height listed anywhere from 6'8" to 6'9" on the internet.
But Brad himself once mentioned his height as 6-feet-8½ inches tall on Everybody Loves Raymond [Season 8] in the episode where he went to be a Model. And adding the fact that Brad looked that tall, we think that was his height in prime.
But it is also a possibility that Mr. Garrett has started to lose height now in his sixties. Taller (and heavier) people do lose height faster than shorter ones with age (though this is not a hard rule).
The height of Brad Garrett in prime was
6'8½" or 204.5 cm
Present height is 6'8"
