Similar to Howard Stern peak I reckon, 196-196.5cm zone. Good 2cm on Larroquette

Not as high as 6ft6, but 6ft5 and change wouldn’t surprise me. He puts John Larroquettes 6ft5 claim to rest

Editor RobI think I'd stick with around 6ft 5, I couldn't see him as tall as 6ft 6

This guy was a true 6ft5er, quite possibly a bit over it even. Very large man overall.

Rob what do think is more likely out of being slightly under 6'5 or over?
I think over is more likely.

More like 220lbs young and 270lbs before death. At 185lbs he’d look closer to Jeff Goldblum in build

I suppose you could argue 196-197cm range if Larroquette was 194cm

@Mincer: that's hard to believe even then. But who knows. I'd have guessed at least 200

That was 1982, he was definitely a lot heavier when he died.

It stated " In a 1982 Philly Inquirer mentioned him as "6ft 5 and 185lbs". " he was probably nearly 240 pounds before his passing

There is a photo of him with Arnold Schwarzenegger where Arnold comes up to the top of his ear. Definitely 6'5"

In a movie I'd seen, he'd stood next to the 6'5" John Laroquette (who also
downplays his height) and he seemed to be the same height, if not slightly
taller. I also met someone who knows him and confirmed he's at least 6'5".

a proper legitimate and looming 6'5.... when compared against other supposedly 6'5 men like vince vaughn, he looks taller than most of the competition, he could even be taller, but downplays his height as to not interfere with his ability to get roles.

I was sitting next to him at a restaurant in New York about 8 years ago. This is pretty accurate.

Always looms over the competition, check out 'Nixon' for comp. between him and Anthony Hopkins, for example.
