I see an easy 6'5 1/2.
If he held his head straight he would have at least a 6'0 1/2 eye level.

Him and Schneider could pass for brothers actually. It’d be almost like the Quaids except they’re closer in height. John sort of like Dennis Quaid, the younger and better looking one while Dan like Randy, the larger, burly, rugged and more scary one

@Editor Rob
From the pic, Dan doesn't look taller than Tom Hopper did against you, but for some reason he gave me that giantish vibes which Tom doesn't give.
Maybe 6'5.75" in his prime.

Editor RobI'd have said Rick can give a taller impression, though when you get into 6ft 5-6 zone, some guys width and head size can have an influence on perception at times.

Do you think Hopper could measure 6’5 1/8” or is he just only 6’5” on the nose, in your view?
I remember you did say you saw him at many events and everytime, he’s always a 6’5” guy.

Editor RobWouldn't say 6ft 4.5 or 5.5, but 6ft 5 plus or minus a small fraction at lunch-time. The odds may well be greater for a positive 6ft 5 than weak one.

Editor RobI am slowly working through doing the short mugshot videos for about 80% of my collection.
Looking at Dan's photo on this page, I see it's only 540 pixels wide, so it's due an updated bigger size photo. I may manage a chart video tomorrow, though it is not a 5-minute job 🧐

I agree with both of you. He looks 195ish in this pic and is probably a flat 6'5 right now. Peak might be Christian's height or slightly less.
Unrelated, but do you guys tend to browse 6'4-6'6 celebs the most? That's where I spend most of my time when I'm not on the general forum.

@Jdubbz: at Yeager’s peak he may edge Christian but not sure about today. 6’5 1/2 even could be 6’5 1/4-3/8 as Rob, despite how accurate he is, is not always going to get somebody to the T. Rory Is also listed 6’5.5 but doesn’t look that in the pic with Rob and Rob admitted he is over 6’5. That could mean 6’5 1/4 in person as well.

Based on the photo, I'd say most likely so. Unless his posture's worse than it seems, I can't see him much over 6'5" flat.

Looks at most 6'5 with Rob, probably around 194cm at most. Definitely not 198cm,he's got less than a head difference on Rob.In all fairness, i don't see over 195cm even if he stretched.

@Christian: Rob may have given him a bit like he did Rory M. He looks pretty much the same when we consider both. He looks 196 range as opposed to 6’5 1/2. I agree with 6’5.25 as reasonable. If he falls below it’s likely not by much

Christian, I actually think that's a possibility. Certainly a strong 6ft5 for Yeager. Archer I think could still pull off 6ft6 but maybe at worst could be a fraction under...that photo was a bit tricky angle-wise...

Here is Dan with the original Leatherface, Gunnar Hansen, it might be the angle that causes Yeager not to look as tall you'd think with Hansen, who I'm sure has lost some height with age considering his weight.

Rob, let's say you didn't meet this guy and see this photo with a strong 5'8 dude (a scottish one xD)... What would be your guess, just basing on this photo? I mean, if you met my very strong 198 mate, i am sure you'd be barely at his chin level. It would be interesting to see him with all these 6'5-6'6 you met because he would be clearly taller than all of them... The only guy who might edge him out is Daniel Cudmore, but it would be a very small amount ;)

I hate to be the one to say this, but, he doesn't really look 6'6? I mean, if you straightened up, I see MAYBE 9.5in. I guess since your a few mm over 5ft8, that would make him near enough 6ft6, but to me he looks more 6ft5.5...
