German actor, best known for roles in The Living Daylights, Die Hard and Mission: Impossible. On his talent agency he was listed as "Größe: 192 cm". A site visitor also said he mentioned his height as 190cm.

Arch, I think similar tricks to what they did with Dolph Lundgren in Rocky IV to make him look gigantic.
Solid 6ft3 guy in my book.....might have had a lift advantage in that scene with Joe (decent 6ft2er for sure - taller than Brosnan)

How can Joe Don Baker be 6 ft 2 and him 6 ft 3??

Saw Living Daylights again recently. Looked absolutely believable as a KGB assassin. He really looked at least 6 ft4 I thought. 6'4 and a half would be believable, as I said in 2017 resembled Dolph in height and physique though facially looked quite a bit like Larry Mullen Jr from U2! Hard to believe he was 6'3 flat!! It's possible they used tricks to make him look bigger in certain films though.

Rob, could Wisniewski please join the Bond Actors tag as Necros?

He's claimed 190cm and 192cm which are both commonly converted to 6ft3. Peak I would have said more likely a bit over than under 6ft3.
I'm pretty sure he was given 6ft5 and 6ft6 in the past...while Godunov was given 6ft3 and 6ft4!

Peak was 6-4,5. Had almost three inches on Dalton and Joe Don Baker. 6-3 peak is ludicrous.

Wisniewski would have been at least a full 6’3” at his peak. He could pass for a strong 6’4” in The Living Daylights, he had about two inches on Timothy Dalton and Joe Don Baker. Wisniewski also easily had at least three inches on Bruce Willis in Die Hard. For Wisniewski’s peak height, I’d vote 6’3.5” and I would guess he is more like 190cm now.

In 'die hard movie' he looked 2 m next to Bruce Willis (181cm)
He looked a giant in the screen. Curious
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/Aug/17
He looked close to 3in taller than Tim!

This guy is a good 190cm tall I think he appears even taller due to his slim lean frame he has. Most folk don't realise how much shorter or taller you can appear if you are overweight or thinner

Dalton looked about two inches shorter than him. He could have been the full 6'4 in his prime. He had an incredible physique. He was a dancer I believe.

@theonewiththecontacts You can upload the screenshot on imgur and then share the URL.

If he's 190cm then he must've worn lifts in Living Daylights because he looked way more than 3cm taller than Dalton. He looked 194-195cm

He would't have claimed 190 if he was really 191.8, I think he's somewhere around 190.5-190.9 but decided to round down to 190.
That's if he really did claim 190cm, people make up a lot of things on here all of the time.
Editor Rob
yeah, a screencap of such a message would be interesting!

i can only remeber this guy from die hard and in that movie i really didnt think he looked taller than at best 190 cm. if he would have been listed 187 here i would have believe it. Is he really 192? But then again it was a long long time since i saw die hard so i guess i can be way of on this one.

Ah yes the "Now I have a machine gun, ho ho ho" dude. Nice add! This guy unlike Godunov was significantly taller than Willis and Rickman. Definitely would have guessed a decent 6ft3 at least. Didn't know he was also the big dude in Living Daylights

A blond german guy is 6'3.5 .... can't say I'm surprised at all
teez said on 15/Aug/17
he look about 6'4
Mincer said on 15/Aug/17
Just goes to show how tall a 6'3.5 person is

From that angle you could certainly believe 6'4 -6'5" there with Joe Don Baker and Jeroem Krabbe!
Arch Stantin said on 15/Aug/17
Ah I remember this guy, the Milkman imposter and balloon man from Living Daylights and the long haired guy from Mission Impossible. I thought he could strongly resemble Dolph Lundgren in height and frame but with the facial appearance of Larry Mullen from U2. I've read 194 for him, and he could certainly look near it in Living Daylights, but might be a shoe measurement. If he claimed 192, we can't guess more than that!
