Fusco's height?

[dien]

Does anyone know if Kevin Chapman's height is listed anywhere? I'd put him about 5'6" based on just my visual impression of seeing him in scenes, but that's really not reliable since camera angles can do so much to make that inaccurate. He seems shorter than Emerson/Finch, but I could be wrong.

It's not listed on IMDB or the few other sites I've

He is definitely an inch or two shorter than ME. I'd say 5'6'-5'7"

TVrage.com has his height as 5'9".

I wouldn't mind also knowing how old Fusco is. The original character description was "Fortyish," but is he older than Reese or younger?

Ooh, Good question, I think he might be older but only by a year or two. I think Reese is supposed to be 42 or so.

I've estimated Reese's age to be a year or two younger than JC's actual age. In the original Pilot script (which I know was quite a bit different from the actual aired episode) he was 28 in 2001, which would make him 38 at the beginning of the series (meaning he would have been turning 39 in episode 21).

Also going off that original age, he would have been 19-20 when he enlisted in the military in 1993. That sounds about right to me.

The website TVRage.com lists KC's height as 5'9".

Interestingly it gives his birthday as July 29, but no year is given. In fact none of the sites I skimmed gave a date for him.

The others are as follows: ME, Sept.7, 1954; JC, Sept. 26, 1968; TH, Sept. 11, 1970. (All these September babies!)

My guess is that KC is older than JC by a few years, but who knows?

It's my impression that all the characters are supposed to be the ages of the actors: everybody in their mid-forties, except Finch nearing sixty.

Emerson's played younger for Bad Robot before. The picture of Nathan and Harold is from MIT 1976. This is the first record Fusco could find of Harold Wren. If we estimate that is Freshman year, they are 18 or so. Meaning Wren was born in '58. Harold could have lied of course.
Pedia of Interest: According to the Machine, Reese joined the military on January 15, 1993.
Which would make him 25 when joining the Army? So, either he went to college, got a job or his character is supposed to be 7 years younger than the actor.

As for Carter, Pedia of Interest has her birthdate as March 7th, 1972.

I have found nothing on either Fusco or Kevin Chapman's birth year.

Since Reese isn't an officer, there's a chance he enlisted once he was 18. Though since his enlistment date is January and his birthday is May 1, he would have been almost 19 before he joined if he went in as early as he could. (That's the way I had my Reese's background figured out, but I'd just love for the show to give us something concrete...)

Now, it is POSSIBLE he went to college before enlisting, but that really could go either way.

Finch might not have been 18 or thereabouts when he attended MIT, either. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd already had a couple college degrees under his belt by that point before attending MIT.

I could also seem him as being a career student at that point in his life, haha. The actual degree wouldn't matter to him as much as just getting to stay in an academic system where he would no doubt have thrived and been content.

I have trouble believing that KC is actually 5'9". That's only 3 inches shorter than JC, and would be an inch taller than ME who's reportedly 5'8". But in the Paley Center photos of the 3 of them together, he's definitely shorter than ME and MUCH shorter than JC

[kmmerc]

KC has the type of face that has probably looked in his forties for a long time. just a guess.

Yeah, no way is he 5'9". By the way, I always have a bit of a laugh when I see pictures of Tom Cruise. He is often wearing boots with SUCH a thick sole.
