Shondaland’s hit Regency-era British drama, Bridgerton, has taken fans by storm all over the world becoming one of the most viewed and highest-rated shows on Netflix. Inspired by the Julia Quinn novels, the Netflix series follows the Bridgerton family as each of the eight children grows up and finds love during the London social season. Each season follows a particular romance trope like fake dating (or in this case, courting), enemies to lovers, and friends to lovers. Utilizing the different tropes allows the series to make each season have a fresh romantic feel.

Viewers curious about the cast may want to know behind-the-scenes tidbits about the Bridgerton series, like who is taller than the others, and who rises above their short stature to deliver a power-packed performance. It's interesting to note that some of the characters with the biggest presence in the show are some of the shortest actors in the cast.

The Tallest Actors In The Bridgerton Cast

Bessie Carter, 5 Ft. 10

The oldest of the Featherington daughters, Prudence is not particularly well-liked by the rest of the ton. She, along with her sister Phillipa, spends the first season looking out for suitors, pushed on by an overbearing mother, while Penelope tries to help their distant cousin Marina. She memorably is the Featherington sister squeezed into an almost too-small corset in the first season in preparation for her debut. Outside of that, she doesn't make a huge impression as her mother tends to overshadow her, stealing the attention in the Featherington family scenes.

At 5 feet 10 inches, Carter must tower over the other female.

Bessie Carter who plays Prudence, in spite of her character often being diminished by Lady Featherington's attitude, is actually one of the tallest actors in the cast. At 5 feet 10 inches, Carter must tower over the other female, and even some male, actors on set.

Luke Thompson, 5 Ft. 11

The second Bridgerton brother, Benedict, is played by actor Luke Thompson. Benedict might turn out to be one of the few queer characters on Bridgerton — there were certainly some hints to that in season 1 and showrunner Jess Brownell has said the show plans to explore queer love stories in the era – and he is all poised for a more central role in upcoming seasons. Benedict's book is actually third, but the story order has been shifted for the series with Colin, his younger brother, and Penelope Featherington taking center stage for season 3.

Benedict is also the only artistically minded person in the Bridgerton family apart from the intellectually inclined Eloise, with whom he seems to share the most camaraderie. His pursuit of art has allowed him to experience life outside of the bubble of the Bridgerton family. Thompson is quite tall indeed at 5 feet 11 inches.

René-Jean Page, 5 Ft. 11

While there are many sad things about Simon Basset in Bridgerton, fans still swoon over his often brooding nature. While watching him dance with and then romance Daphne, fans might wish to know that Simon's actor Rene-Jean Page stands tall at 5 feet 11 inches, only slightly short of a full 6 feet, just like Luke Thompson.

He's completed his time as Simon.

The Duke of Hastings might no longer be central to the storyline following the first season of Bridgerton, but Page has said he won't mind if the producers end up recasting his role in the future. He's completed his time as Simon, so if Simon should need to pop in for an appearance in one of the future seasons of the show, a new actor would likely be of a similar stature. It seems unlikely the audience will see the character again though.

Luke Newton 6 Ft.
