Tall Artists / Actors / Musicians?

Alright so my roommate opened his mouth and struck a major nerve with me. We were watching Miami Ink on TLC and a big guy who was an art student came in for a tattoo and he made some comment of surprise about the fact that a large man was an art student. I was shocked. He’s an asian guy and I’m sure he’s faced racism either overt or subtle but he completely was size biased. I’m 6’6" and it really struck a nerve.

So I’m looking to build a list of tall artists, actors, musicians to make sure he realizes that size really doesn’t matter for artistry.

First one that comes to mind is Peter Garrett, lead singer of Midnight Oil at about 6’6".

Ryan Stiles of “Whose Line” is 6’4".

3

Mike Nesmith

4

Penn Gillette.

5

Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore is 6-foot-6.

6

Matt McGrory was 7’6" tall.

Peter Mayhew (the actor who played Chewbacca) is 7’2".

7

David Letterman is 6’2".

Mick Fleetwood is well over 6’.

8

Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead is 6’4"

Pete Steele of Type O Negative is pretty damn tall, too.

9

The late Long John Baldry was 6’7".

Former art student Pete Townshend is commonly cited as being surprisingly tall (it doesn’t hurt that he’s always standing next to half-pint Roger Daltrey), although the only reference I can find gives his height as six feet even.

Lawrence Rory Guy aka Angus Scrimm is 6’4"

11

Lawrence Rory Guy aka Angus Scrimm is 6’4"

12

I’m thinking Krist Novoselic of Nirvana is really tall.

13

IMDB lists Ric Ocasek of the Cars being 6’4".

14

James Cromwell is tall–6’7" according to the imdb.

I believe Uma Thurman is 6’0 as is Nicole Kidman. (Let’s not leave the women out!)
:stuck_out_tongue: )

15

Joe Bob Briggs is 6’4".

Paul Gilbert, guitar player for Racer X and Mr. Big is 6’6".

16

Vince Vaughn is 6’5".

Jeff Goldblum is, according to IMDb, 6’4 and 1/2".

17

Norman Rockwell was six feet tall.

18

And Geena Davis is 6 ft.

Re the OP: Your roomate’s attitude is bizarre by the way. I never would have thought someone would think only short people could be artistic.

19

Nick Drake was 6’3"

20

Seal is 6’4" of hottiness. Towers over his 5’ 9.5" tall model-wife, Heidi Klum.
