Liam Neeson is very familiar to audiences across the world, but obviously only a rare few have seen the actor in person. Those that have been lucky enough to see or even meet Neeson will probably have noted the actor's height, which is a staggering 6 foot 4 inches, according to Celeb Heights. As Livingly notes, Neeson ranks up there as one of the tallest actors in Hollywood overall, sharing his stature with other performers such as Chris Hemsworth, Jason Segel, Alexander Skarsgard, and Conan O'Brien.

Despite being so tall, Neeson was once turned down for a role of a giant because his height was actually too small. As it turns out, the actor was actually up for the role of Fezzik in "The Princess Bride," which went to the incomparable André the Giant. The initial meeting ended up being quite a short one, with director Rob Reiner taking one look at Neeson and saying, "That's tall, he's not a giant," as Neeson recalled on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (via YouTube).

"There was no 'hello, thank you,'" Neeson continued, adding that he thought the next time he saw Reiner he'd tell him he was "very rude." However, Neeson went on to say that as Reiner made the iconic mockumentary "Spinal Tap," all was forgiven.
