Summary

• The tallest Supernatural cast member is Jared Padalecki at a towering 6 foot 4, making him quite the dominating presence on screen.
• Despite his impressive height, Jared Padalecki's character Sam Winchester doesn't need protection, often handling villains on his own.
• The smallest cast member is Lauren Tom, standing at only 5 foot 1, proving that size doesn't determine toughness in Supernatural.

Supernatural spent 15 seasons following Dean (Jensen Ackles) and the much taller Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) as they battled angels, demons, and monsters, but many fans wondered "How tall is Jared Padalecki?" Dean put it upon himself to protect the younger of the two Winchester brothers, but Sam proved time and time again that he didn't need a protector because he was powerful enough on his own. He was also a good four inches taller than his big brother, and he cast a pretty imposing shadow over the creatures that they had to kill to protect humanity.

Over the years that Supernatural was on the air, several major cast members came and went from the show, some friends and allies of the Winchester boys and others enemies, often strong Supernatural villains set to hinder their goals of clearing the planet of all the evil monsters and demons that threatened humanity. Some of these were played by actors who were taller, close to at least Jensen Ackles' height, and others who stood on the shorter side of average when it comes to the height of the show's bright stars.

Tallest Supernatural Cast Members

Alexander Calvert, 5 Ft. 10

Alexander Calvert, who plays Jack, stands at a solid 5 foot 10 inches, making him one of the tallest actors on Supernatural. Even though Calvert is not a short man, he sometimes looks like he is, as he often is on camera next to his costars, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins (Castiel), all of whom are taller than him.

While Jack isn't the tallest cast member, he is still the most powerful Supernatural character in the series. Jack is a Nephilim, meaning he is the child of an angel and a human. The fact that his father is none other than Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino), one of the most powerful of the archangels, makes him even more powerful than a typical Nephilim. By the end of Supernatural, Jack took over all God's powers and reigned in Heaven, showing that he doesn't have to be the tallest person to be the most important.

Misha Collins, 5 Ft. 11

Misha Collins might look small while sharing the screen with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, but he is not short at all. Though he may not stand out compared to the Winchester brothers, Collins, who portrays the angel Castiel, is one of the taller members of the Supernatural cast, standing at 5 foot 11. It's the perfect height for an angel — tall enough to be a commanding presence, yet not overwhelmingly so.

Castiel wasn't supposed to be a long-lasting Supernatural cast member, but his popularity allowed him to stick around a lot longer than intended. He ended up dying multiple times, but he made it all the way to the end of the show before finally dying (seemingly) for good. Lucky for him, he had a friend in Jack, who took over for God and resurrected him one more time to serve with him in a rehabilitated Heaven. While Castiel didn't quite hit the six-foot mark, he was still a big enough presence on the show to make it to the finale.

Jensen Ackles, 6 Ft.
