Tall Artists / Actors / Musicians?

Harvey Fierstein is just under 6’5.

Author Michael Crichton (Westworld, Andromeda Strain, Timeline) is 6’9.

Ted “Lurch” Cassidy was 6’9.

Craig Kilborn is 6’5.

Tom Scholz of Boston is 6’ 6", IIRC.

Oops, the Boston Web site says he’s 6’ 5".

If you don’t mind a few pop ups you can knock yourself out at this site. Some of them aren’t entirely accurate but they should be in the ballpark

One thing that surprised me is that they have Douglas Adams at 6’5". I had no idea he was such a giant!

And Conan O’Brien is 6’4" (at least, that’s what Wikipedia says).

Author Michael (“Jurassic Park”) Crichton is nearly 6 foot 9.

Dancer/choreographer Tommy Tune is about 6 foot 6.

As John Cleese of Monty Python used to say, “I’ll do as I like, because I’m 6 foot 5.”

Howard Stern & his Boston University classmate Bill O’Reilly are both about 6 foot 5, too.

Many top action TV/movie stars are a LOT shorter than you’d expect- among the few who are actually tall: James Arness, Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck, Fess Parker.

It’s almost a cliche to hear people say “I met such-and-such-celebrity, and he’s really a lot shorter than I expected.” One of the few celebs that I hear the opposite about: Bill Clinton. I’ve never met him, but I’ve heard from numerous people who have, “He’s a lot bigger than I thought he was.” Published reports vary, but he seems to be about 6’2"

John Lithgow is 6’4.5

Richard Kiel is 7’2 (and has a daughter who’s a former beauty queen)

Night Court’s Richard Moll is 6’7.5, an inch shorter than Everybody Loves Raymon’s Brad Garrett.

Fred Gwynne, best remembered for Herman Munster but also a classically trained stage actor, a graphic artist and bestselling children’s book author, was 6’5.

Seriously? I never got the impression he was especially tall.

The music video for “You can call me Al” comes to mind. Well, according to imdb, Chevy Chase is 6,4 long. Not to mention that his birth name is Cornelius.

Bill Murray is 6 foot 3 or so.

Leeroy Thornhill of the band Prodigy is 6’7’’. (See what you can learn from watching the Music Choice channel. :stuck_out_tongue: )

From days gone by. My favorite MArshall. Marshall Dillon , James Arness 6 foot 7

Or Daniel Boone Davey Crockett actor Fess Parker, 6 foot 5

Anybody know how tall Jed Clampett, Buddy Ebson was? Well over 6 foot I’ll bet, or even MAx Baer as Jehtro?

Frank Zappa was 6 feet tall. And so am I.

Eric Bana (“Munich,” “The Hulk,” etc.) is 6’4"

Clive Owen (“Closer,” “Croupier,” etc) is 6’2"

Kirsten Johnson (3rd Rock’s Sally) is 5’10".
Mick Fleetwood is 6’9"

Can’t be 6’2"; I distinctly remember him being slightly shorter than me and I’m just about 6’1", I think (185 cm. roughly). He is definately taller than I had thought, though. Come to think of it, I can’t remember another celebrity I’ve met who was taller than I’d thought–Mike Patton, for example, was positively miniscule. Also… six feet is tall now?

The cast of Night Court (Og, I miss that show) was well staffed with tall actors.

  • Richard Moll (already mentioned) - 6’7.5"
  • Harry Anderson - 6’4"
  • John Larroquette - 6’4"

I understand that Charles Robinson, who played Mac on the show, was also up there with the other guys, but I can’t find a reference for his height.

Nobody has mentioned Roald Dahl yet?

6’ 6"

Okay I found out, Uncle Jed was 6 foot 3 1/2 inches and Max Baer {Jethro} was 6 foot 4.

Donna Douglas wasn’t that tall, but had nice tits. :smiley:
