Fictional characters inherit the actor's measurement by default. Production wardrobe choices can shift the on-screen read by an inch in either direction, so on-screen-only references can disagree slightly.
How a fictional character even has a 'height'
Fictional characters don't have a Wikipedia infobox height in the usual sense. The number you see online is back-formed from screen references, source-material descriptions, and (most often) the actor who portrayed them.

The actor connection
If the character is screen-canon, the working number is the actor's actual height. His Hacker Hostel makes the show possible by putting developers, egos, and terrible business instincts under one roof.

Comparing across this group is mostly a parlor exercise, the work, the company, and the public record matter far more than any inch differential.
