Rob, could Farina be added to the Law & Order tag?
6’1” is about right; marginally taller than Charles Grodin in Midnight Run. Too tall for a plain six footer.

Editor RobWould need to see a bit more of 80's Farina, but from what I have seen I think he lost some height by his last 10 years and looked taller in 80's...but above D? I wouldn't bet on it.

He never stood well though. Could look barely 6ft at times but I think he was a decent 6ft1...

In Crime Story he looked about 6'2. He was so tall that he towered over his own men. He was about 1 inch taller than Anthony John Dennison who played Ray Luca.

Rob, Farina edges out a young Billy Zane by fair amount in this Tv movie from 1989. He would have been 45.

He was taller than Travolta in Get Shorty, when he would've been 51.

Editor Rob would have to see early stuff when he was at his tallest to remind myself if he had lost much height by his late 50's

Oh Jesus. Two great Italian-American actors dead in a month :(
RIP. Loved him in Get Shorty (with Gandolfini) and who can forget Snatch.
Will be sorely missed
"Dennis Farina height: 6ft 1.5in (187cm)". Similiar to Vinnie Jones in Snatch.

I like him best as Cousin Avi in SNATCH. 6'1" is spot on for DF--I just watched SNATCH last night, and he was one of the taller cast members. The only principal actors who looked taller than him were Vinnie Jones and Benicio Del Toro--both of whom, I believe, stand at 6'2".

6 ft 1.5 (187 cm) peak I think but today he is no more than 6 ft 0.5 in (184 cm) at almost 67.

Actually 6ft1 is perfect. Maybe closer to 6ft2 in his prime. He looked pretty tall in Midnight Run next to Robert DeNiro. He was also taller than 184cm Charles Grodin.

At best Farina looks 6ft there. But his posture is horrendous. With good posture I'd say he's closer to 6ft1. Okay maybe he's not quite 6ft1 these day. I'd say 184cm now and 186cm peak. Sounds fair.

Actually he did look about 2 inches taller than Willis. Perhaps a strong 6ft1 in his prime.

"I saw Striking Distance and he seemed about 1 or 2 inches taller than Willis depending on the scene."
yeah that is on right now and Willis is 5.10.5 barefooted so that would put Farina in the 5-11 to 6 foot range

This guy needs to be downgraded by an inch or so, could have been 6'1 when he was younger but now looks 6'0 or 5'11.75 with Glenn.

Yeah, he doesn't look over 6' here - he looks maybe 3"-3.5" taller than Glenn - unless he's slouching.
maximus thrax - :-) He looked over 6' in the film, next to another actor whose height is listed on this very site, is all I was saying. Never met met him and certainly never went out on any donut runs with him, so I'm not claiming any authority here.
