On "Gilmore Girls", which character is played by an actor who is 6'4" tall?

On "Gilmore Girls," Dean Forester is played by an actor commonly listed as 6'4" tall.

Dean Forester is portrayed by Jared Padalecki, who joined the series as Rory Gilmore's first serious boyfriend. Padalecki appeared as Dean from 2000 to 2005, first as a recurring performer before becoming part of the main cast in seasons two and three. His height became a memorable bit of trivia because the show itself jokes about Dean being tall.

In the season-one episode "Rory's Dance," Dean says he is 6'2", while behind-the-scenes trivia often identifies Padalecki as 6'4". That distinction explains why viewers may see slightly different numbers: the character's claimed height and the actor's reported height are not necessarily the same.

Dean's story includes Rory's first romance, his later marriage to Lindsay, and a difficult attempt to rekindle his relationship with Rory. Padalecki later became best known for playing Sam Winchester on "Supernatural."
